"Human Education" 》After-reading sample essay 1
The author Froebel is a famous German educational theorist and educational practitioner, and the founder of modern preschool education. He founded a kind of preschool education institution that was new to the time and named it with the unique name "kindergarten". He can be said to be the first initiator.
The first part of the book is an introduction, and the author writes very abstractly. Only by calming down and reading carefully can you understand it and really benefit a lot. The author believes that every human being possesses the spirit of God, his essence. The purpose of education is to develop and express human nature in him, to become enlightened, and to make this awakening play a role in human life. What does human essence refer to specifically? It is "something that constitutes the essence of nature and appears permanently in nature." The essence is natural. "Without God and nature, we must turn to human wisdom and talent, and we can only build castles in the air." For young children, curiosity, innocence, kindness... are all natural and are the embodiment of children's essence. Therefore, the purpose of preschool education is to fully reflect and develop these instincts. From the moment children are born into this world, people should understand and treat them correctly according to their nature, allowing them to use their abilities freely and comprehensively. Today's parents attach great importance to their children's education. They hope that their children can learn things that others cannot. There are more and more interest classes, summer classes, and training classes. It is undesirable in early childhood education to emphasize the use of certain abilities and limbs at the expense of other abilities and limbs.
The principle that education should conform to nature is an important principle of Froebel’s educational theory system. He demanded that children be allowed to develop naturally and undisturbed from their earliest years. Therefore, "education, training and all teaching should be more tolerant and adaptable than absolute and indicative, because in the pure adoption of the former method of education, the perfect development, steady or lasting development of mankind cannot be achieved. Progress will be lost. "As an educator, if you always regard yourself as a leader and order and interfere with students, education and teaching will play a destructive and obstructive role, which will in turn harm the children.
The author also has his own unique insights into the lives of young children. Do not let young children stay alone in the bed or cradle when there are no other moving objects. This will not only make the body weak, but also make the child mentally delicate and fragile. Children's beds should not be too soft from an early age, and feather pillows should not be used. Diet can only be nourishment, and its sole purpose is to promote physical and intellectual activities. Children's food should be as simple as possible, so as to be able to maintain the child's living needs and enable him to achieve the same level of physical and intellectual development. When teaching young children to stand and walk, we should not use crutches and ropes. As a child grows, he will discover that he has the ability to walk and stand up, and learn these skills naturally. These views involve all aspects of life. Overprotection of children will not allow them to grow up in the best possible way. Let go appropriately so that children can learn to live in a "hard" environment and learn to be strong in difficulties. It is conducive to their physical development, and it is also conducive to their psychological exercise to make them independent, strong and confident people.
Froebel divided human education into two stages: infancy and adolescence. Infancy is further divided into general infancy and early childhood, and adolescence is divided into adolescence and schooling. In early childhood, the child re-externalizes what he had previously internalized. At this stage, sensory development is very important. During adolescence, what is external becomes what is internal, a process of learning. Children have strong curiosity and desire for knowledge, which is their motivation for learning. The author believes that family education during this period is of great significance. Family life is a role model for children and will have an important impact on their lives. And it is mainly the school that takes on the teaching tasks of the students. In this section, Froebel discusses school education issues such as the nature, mission, teaching content, and educational methods of schools.
"The Gift" is a set of activity toys designed by Froebel to allow children to carry out games and other activities, because he attached great importance to the role of games in children's growth. He believes that play is the development of children and is the highest stage of human development during this period. During the game, children can enjoy happiness to their heart's content. But unfortunately, as adults we often cannot understand this happiness well. Not only do they not actively participate in children's games, they also take various actions to prevent them.
They think playing in mud is too dirty, and playing in water will make their clothes wet... In fact, these are games that children like very much. And often only these games chosen spontaneously by these children can show their future inner world. A child who is playing, a child who is immersed in the game is the most beautiful expression of children's life. In addition, he also advocated creating activity conditions for children, such as letting them plant plants in their own gardens, organizing them to make handicrafts, etc. I think the plant corner now set up in kindergartens is a very good example. Games are a child’s nature and a preview of their future life. Therefore, every adult should pay attention to games during this period and give them full support.
"Human Education" tells us about various problems in early childhood education, and there is a lot worth learning. Although I have read the whole book, there are still many parts that I don’t really understand. I think I should read it more carefully in the future.
Sample essay 2 after reading "Human Education"
I am an ordinary people's teacher. I work hard on the front line of teaching on weekdays. I am so busy that I only spend time on reading. There is less, but the desire for books is increasing. In the last semester, I was fortunate enough to participate in the studio of special teacher Huang Yongmei. The "Reading for Happiness" activity carried out by the studio ignited the students' enthusiasm for reading and also inspired me to find time to read. I saw the book "Human Education" in the reading list recommended by my instructor Huang Yongmei. I was deeply attracted by the title of the book. There was a voice from the bottom of my heart that told me that I must choose it and read this book. Why? As a front-line teacher, shouldn’t we pay attention to people’s education? The title of the book aroused the enthusiasm of my educational philosophy. I eagerly read this educational masterpiece during the holiday, which can be said to be “full of rewards”. Full".
1. Understand the life and deeds of Froebel and expand your horizons.
Froebel was a famous German educational theorist and practitioner in the 19th century, and the founder of modern preschool education theory. He was born in a rural pastor's family in Germany. He lost his mother when he was young. His father was busy all day long and had no time to discipline him. His stepmother was also very indifferent to him. Therefore, Froebel's childhood was lonely and lonely. His childhood experiences made Froebel devote a lot of energy to children's education, and also prompted him to found the world's first kindergarten, explore, research and practice a complete early childhood education system, and wrote the famous The educational treatise "Human Education" has left a mark in the history of education.
2. Understand the core concept of Froebel’s education, which is that education must comply with the inherent laws of children’s development.
Reading through the book "Human Education", we can see that Froebel was a devout disciple. He believed that since human nature is a derivative of divinity, and God is all-wise, all-powerful, all-loving , so human nature is also kind and inherently has the possibility of development. This is a good-natured view. Based on the understanding that human nature is inherently good, Froebel came up with the basic rules of education. Education should try its best to comply with the inherent laws of children's development, provide a suitable environment for children's development, and should not destroy children's nature unless this nature damaged, otherwise no intervention measures should be taken. We can see that this rule cognition still has widespread and powerful influence today.
3. The book "Human Education" has had a profound impact on modern German education.
Germany is a resource-scarce country with the largest population among European countries, high technological development, and low levels of corruption. Many multinational companies such as Volkswagen, Daimler, Siemens and BMW are headquartered in Germany. The reason why it has achieved today's achievements mainly relies on a well-educated professional group. German education is famous for its profound cultural heritage and perfect system. But when it comes to children, the strict Germans seem to be more tolerant. They respect the individuality of each child, and even for those children who are considered "problems" in the eyes of ordinary people, they can find the shining side of the child. The fact that children's education in Germany has reached today's high level is definitely due to the indelible contribution of Froebel, the pioneer of education.
4. Froebel placed great emphasis on emotional education in his educational practice, and regarded "education adapting to nature" as his consistent and important principle.
Froebel made an analogy between the education of people and the cultivation of natural objects and pointed out that when it comes to treating natural objects, our approach is often correct. Many people know that if animals and plants need to grow healthily and robustly, they must be provided with a suitable and relaxed environment, and we must oppose the attempts to encourage growth, as well as crude intervention and the imposition of will. However, when it comes to treating people, people will take the completely opposite path. Although the growth of humans, animals and plants follows the same laws, people like to treat their children as plasticine when educating them, thinking that they can be shaped at will according to their own will. As a result, the growth of children is different from theirs. Nature goes against it. For this reason, Froebel called on educators to adapt to the nature of children when educating them and let them grow freely according to its laws, just like we treat grapevines in the garden.
5. The "student-based education" we advocate can be said to be the inheritance and development of the idea of ??"Human Education".
When I read this article, it was naturally connected to the "student-based education" we advocate in teaching today. "Student-based education" is a large-scale overall education reform practice driven by project research, hosted by Professor Guo Sile, a doctoral supervisor at South China Normal University and director of the Guangdong Institute of Educational Sciences. Student-centered education advocates that education should realize the transformation from "teacher-centered education" to "student-centered education", that is, to transform education designed for teachers' willingness to teach to education designed for students' eagerness to learn, so that students can be active, active, and lively , develop healthily. From the perspective of "education adapts to nature" and "student-based education", what is the mission of teachers? It is to provide a suitable environment for students' growth and to provide free time for students' growth. On the other hand, it is to provide students with free time for their growth. Growth provides professional and good teachers. If the nature of students is the various innate endowments, then education must provide external freedom for the growth of these endowments. The first condition for external freedom is to have free time. Etymologically speaking, the Greek word "school" itself is derived from "leisure" (shule). In the view of the Greeks, going to school meant being separated from daily chores, having ample leisure, and being able to concentrate on experience and contemplation. In this kind of experience and contemplation, people's mental abilities have grown.
There are so many more gains from reading this book that it is impossible to list them all. I waded through the long river of books in reading, and realized the true meaning of education in meditation. Reading is the use of books to communicate with ancient wise authors; reading is a kind of refinement of the soul, and reading is also the inheritance of the ideas of educational prophets. Reading is happiness, and reading is joy. The more happiness and joy, the better. With the happiness and joy of reading, devoting yourself to the extraordinary cause of education, "the remaining wishes are enough."
Sample essay three after reading "The Education of Man"
Froebel is a world-famous educational theorist and practitioner, one of the advocates of new education in the 19th century, and a prominent figure in modern preschool education. The founder of educational theory. He was born in a rural priest family in Germany. He lost his mother when he was young. His father was busy with parish affairs all day long, and his stepmother was emotionally indifferent to him. Therefore, Froebel had a lonely and lonely childhood with him. The misfortune of his childhood made Froebel develop special feelings for children, which also prompted him to found the world's first kindergarten, build a complete early childhood education system, and write the famous educational treatise "Human Being". "Education", thus creating a new era in the history of education.
Due to the influence of the representatives of German absolute idealism (Schelling, Fichte, etc.), Froebel's educational thoughts have a very strong theological color; and due to the influence of the French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau and the Swiss Influenced by the democratic educator Pestalozzi and others, Froebel placed great emphasis on emotional education in his educational practice, and regarded "education adapting to nature" as his consistent and important principle.
Froebel believed that man, as a rational creature, is a creation of God just like stones, plants, and animals. He is subject to the same law of development and has the same characteristics as all things*** The same essence, the Spirit of God. In other words, everything in the world is unified with God, and human nature should also be unified with divinity. Since human nature is a derivative of divinity, and God is all-wise, all-powerful, and all-loving, human nature is also kind and inherently has the possibility of development. Based on this view of the theory of good nature, Froebel believed that education should be tolerant and adaptable. Education should try its best to comply with the inherent laws of children's development, provide a suitable environment for children's development, and should not destroy children's nature unless This nature is destroyed, otherwise no intervention should be taken.
Froebel also used metaphors to demonstrate the principle of "education adapting to nature". He wrote on page 10 of The Education of Man: "In order to further receive the lessons of nature, the vine should be pruned. But pruning itself will not bring grapes to the vine, on the contrary, no matter how well intentioned it is , if the gardener does not work very patiently and carefully in accordance with the nature of the plant, the vine may be completely destroyed by pruning, or at least its fertility and fruiting capacity will be destroyed. "He combined the education of man and the cultivation of natural things. After making an analogy, it is pointed out that when it comes to treating natural objects, our approach is often correct. Many people know that if animals and plants need to grow healthily and robustly, they must be provided with a suitable and relaxed environment, and we must oppose the attempts to encourage growth, as well as crude intervention and the imposition of will. However, when it comes to dealing with people, people take the completely opposite path. Although the growth of humans, animals and plants follows the same laws, people like to treat their children as plasticine when educating them, thinking that they can be shaped at will according to their own will. As a result, the growth of children is different from theirs. Nature goes against it. For this reason, Froebel called on educators to adapt to the nature of children when educating them and let them grow freely according to its laws, just like we treat grapevines in the garden.
Going back to our middle school education, if what we need to cultivate is not a test machine, but a healthy and lively person who is oriented to modernization, the world, and the future, then we are running a school We should also follow the principle of "education adapts to nature".
Rousseau once put forward the view that "education is growth", which means that growth itself is the purpose of education, and there are no other purposes besides growth, such as getting high scores, going to prestigious schools, seeking a good career, etc. Of course, getting high scores, going to a prestigious school, and seeking a good career are not unimportant, but they should not be the ultimate purpose of education. The ultimate purpose of education is to allow students to grow healthily, grow well, and become an excellent person. Other purposes It will be realized naturally.
From the perspective of "education adapts to nature" and "education is growth", what is the mission of the school? It is to provide a suitable environment for the growth of students. On the one hand, it is to provide free control for students' growth. time, on the other hand, it is to provide professional and good teachers for the growth of students. Taking the growth of grapevines as an example, freedom is like abundant sunshine and rain, and teachers are like professional gardeners.
If students’ nature is their innate endowments, then education must provide external freedom for the growth of these endowments. The first condition for external freedom is to have free time. Etymologically speaking, the Greek word "school" itself is derived from "leisure" (shule). In the view of the Greeks, going to school meant being separated from daily chores, having ample leisure, and being able to concentrate on experience and contemplation. In this kind of experience and contemplation, people's mental abilities have grown. Therefore, schools should not arrange homework too intensively and should give students more time for free activities, so that they can adapt to their nature and develop their talents.
Another element of a suitable environment is good professional teachers. In fact, education in its essence is an influence. The core of good education is to have a group of teachers with noble ethics and superb professional skills, through whom they can influence students. Of course, teachers need to preach, teach, and resolve doubts, but more importantly, they need to form a field through which they can influence students' words, deeds, and worldview. What is a prestigious school? A prestigious school means having a famous principal who understands education and has a vision, who gathers a group of good teachers with both ability and political integrity, and influences a group of good students with both ability and political integrity.
In short, if education must adapt to nature, it must take the growth of students as its ultimate goal. It must provide sunshine and rain (free time) and professional gardeners (good professional teachers) for students' growth. If all these aspects are met, the core competitiveness of the school's development will be grasped.
Sample four essays on "The Education of Man"
The whole book is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction. First of all, Froebel starts from the philosophical view he believes in. Put forward his views on education. He pointed out that the role of education is to conform to human nature to inspire and promote it to express and develop the spirit of God consciously, consciously and flawlessly. Secondly, he proposed the principle that education should conform to nature. Based on this principle, he required that children be allowed to develop naturally without interference from the earliest stage and pay attention to the development of their personality. At the same time, he also proposed the concept of human beings. It is an evolving perspective and emphasizes the continuity between the various stages of human development. Chapter 2 People in Infancy. Froebel elaborated on the development and care of infancy and the development and education of early childhood. He pointed out that infancy is both a sucking period and a nurturing period. For babies, the most important thing is the Body senses and use of limbs.
Chapter 3: Adolescence. Froebel mainly discussed two issues: the development and education of adolescence and the impact of family life on children. He believed that adolescence is the internalization of external things into the desire to own things. This desire may be through games. However, what can fully satisfy this desire is their family life. For adolescent children, family life is a model for their lives and will have a strong impact on their lives. Parents should let children learn When sharing family affairs, children's spontaneous requests for help should not be rejected, but should be supported and affirmed to allow them to develop naturally and healthily. In addition, he believes that children's emotions have also developed accordingly during this period. Chapter 4: People in the student period. Froebel analyzed and discussed from three aspects: the nature and purpose of schools, teaching content, and the relationship between schools and families. Chapter 5 overall overview and conclusion. Froebel pointed out that because we mistakenly suppress the various spiritual tendencies of children too much, we have extremely harmful interference with the nature of children. In particular, we must recognize that children have been delayed and neglected in their development and education. Things that have happened are often irreversible. For this reason, he emphasized that we should focus on the general formation of spirituality in children and on the formation and development of true humanity.
All in all, this book systematically constructs a theoretical system of early childhood education. Although we do not agree with his idealistic ideas, he advocates that education should adapt to children's nature and opposes compulsory education and suppression of children's development. Education, attaching importance to children's active activities, attaching importance to the development of children's creativity, attaching importance to the development of children's personality, emphasizing the importance of early education to the development of a person's life and the role of family education, advocating the continuity of education at all stages of human development, etc. , not only had revolutionary significance for the mechanistic and mechanically rigid educational methods prevalent in German education at that time, but also had enlightening significance for current kindergarten education and family education.
Sample 5 essay on "Human Education"
During this summer vacation, I had the honor to read the book "Human Education" in the series of foreign educational masterpieces published by People's Education Press. This book is a well-known educational treatise, which discusses the important roles of preschool and school education respectively. The author Froebel is a famous German educational theorist and educational practitioner. He is one of the advocates of new education in the 19th century and the founder of modern preschool education theory. He is called the "Father of Early Childhood Education". His theoretical and practical activities on preschool education are the main aspects of his life activities. This book is a general discussion of preschool and school education in childhood, and it has a lot of inspiration for our primary school education. In the book, Froebel advocated that education should adapt to children's nature, opposed compulsory education and suppression of children's development, paid attention to children's active activities and the development of children's personality, emphasized the importance of early education, and advocated the continuity of education at all stages of human development. ideas such as sex.
In this book, Froebel elaborated on the importance of preschool education, which will have a profound impact on the development of preschool education in the future. Froebel divided the age range involved in human education into three major development stages: infancy, adolescence (early adolescence) and schooling (late adolescence). In his opinion, educated people at various stages of development will inevitably display various functions that they must realize according to their mission. Preschool education occupies a very important position in the entire system of human education. Early childhood is a very important stage in human development. The book writes: "A person's entire future life, until the moment when he is about to leave the world again, has its root in this stage of life, no matter whether this future life is pure or dirty, gentle or rough, hard-working Or lazy... His (her) future relationship with parents, family, brothers and sisters, society and mankind, nature and God, according to the child's inherent and natural endowment, mainly depends on his (her) age at this stage. "If a child is harmed at this age, if the germ of his future tree of life that exists in him is damaged, then he must make the greatest efforts and efforts to grow into a strong person. Overcome the greatest difficulties in its development and training in this direction to avoid the deformities caused by this damage. Therefore, he organically included preschool education in the entire human education process, regarded it as the beginning of human real education, and clarified the importance of family education. In the book "Human Education", Froebel proposed the important role of family education in preschool education. In early childhood, human education is mainly entrusted to parents and families. Children and family members together form a complete and indivisible unity. Therefore, content and method guidance should be provided to parents who lack educational knowledge. I think it is very necessary for parents of children to know some knowledge and methods and strategies on how to educate their children. Parental education has a great impact on the future development of children. Parents should consciously learn and understand some parenting methods in daily life to avoid the impact of wrong education on It has adverse effects on young children, causing harm to a better life and causing obstacles to life growth.
The education of children should conform to the principle of nature, which is an important principle of Froebel's educational theory system. He demanded that children be allowed to develop naturally and undisturbed from their earliest years. Therefore, "education, training and all teaching should be more tolerant and adaptable than absolute and indicative, because in the pure adoption of the former method of education, the perfect development, steady or lasting development of mankind cannot be achieved. Progress will be lost." Froebel used the metaphor of a gardener pruning a vine: "The vine should be pruned, but pruning itself will not bring grapes to the vine. On the contrary, no matter how good the intention is, if the gardener If you do not work very patiently and carefully in accordance with the nature of the plant, the vine may be completely destroyed by pruning, or at least its fertility and fruit-bearing capacity will be destroyed. "You must comply with the nature of children in teaching, and patiently guide without force. Sexual education suppresses children. Consistent with the idea of ??allowing children to develop naturally without interference, Froebel valued the development of children's personalities; "In every human being, a member of the human race and a child of God, the whole of humanity is contained and embodied; but in every human being he is Be expressed and shaped in a completely inherent, special, personal and unique way..." In our educational and teaching practice activities, we must fully respect the personality development of students, be people-oriented, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and do everything possible to protect their enthusiasm for doing things. And affirm and support them, respect their correct views, thereby promoting their harmonious development and healthy growth.
The book also says that games play a very important role in preschool education. In fact, for our primary school education, games are also very effective in promoting classroom teaching, especially for lower grade students. Because games will directly affect children's lives and education, games can increase children's interest in learning. A capable, calm, perseverant child who persists in play will inevitably become a capable, persevering person who can improve the happiness of others and himself by self-sacrifice. In order to allow children to carry out games and other activities, Froebel designed a system of games and homework and supporting activity toys that range from simple to complex, unified to diverse, step-by-step, and logically connected. Hence his famous "Entertainment" "Objects", this set of teaching aids is of great significance to the development of children's intelligence and creativity.
In addition, he also advocated creating activity conditions for children, such as letting them plant plants in their own gardens and organizing them to make handicrafts. Therefore, schools should carry out more interest activities for students so that students can cultivate good interests and hobbies. Teachers should guide them to do meaningful things and improve their overall quality.
As a famous educator in history and the founder of modern preschool education, Froebel’s great value of his theory has long been valued by foreign education circles. To develop our country's education and establish a socialist system with Chinese characteristics, we not only need to study the history and current situation of our country's education and summarize the experience of our country's education, but also need to study the history and current situation of foreign education and learn from the experience of foreign education. This famous book on education has had a great influence on the history of education at home and abroad. It is very instructive for our daily educational and teaching practice activities and is well worth reading.
