"There is a method for teaching, but there is no fixed method for teaching. The most important thing is to get the method." So, how to understand this famous saying in education?

The "law" in "teaching has a law" and guidance are "laws". That is to say, teaching has rules to follow, and "laws" exist objectively. People can discover rules and apply rules, but they cannot create rules. If you follow the rules, you will achieve the expected results, and if you violate the rules, you will be punished. ——Teaching must follow teaching rules.

The "method" in "Teaching without fixed methods" refers to specific models and methods. First of all, each teacher has his own teaching style and teaching personality. Young teachers have the characteristics of young teachers, and old teachers have their own characteristics. The teacher has the grace of an old teacher, not to mention that there is no limit to human knowledge. If you teach the same grade and use the same textbook, your experience last year will reach another level this year, and your experience next year will never be the same as this year. To teach frequently, we must use teaching methods creatively. Secondly, the learning level and psychological quality of students are also changing. The learning level of the same students this year will not be the same as last year, and next year's level will not be exactly the same as this year. Students' learning psychology is often easily affected by society, and the constraints of many factors are constantly changing. In order to continuously adapt teaching to students' psychological needs, there is no doubt that teaching methods must also be used creatively. Third, the same teaching content has different requirements and methods for students of different ages. Taking Chinese as an example, some articles must be learned in junior high schools, high schools and even universities, but the requirements to be met and the methods used in teaching will never be the same.

The "Dharma" in "The most important thing is to obtain the Dharma", and guidance is the law. What it means is that the most valuable thing in teaching is to follow the teaching rules. The methods adopted in teaching must meet the psychological needs of students and the laws of students' physical and mental development. They must not stick to one method or copy it.
