School education also needs humanization. Education is very important for every child, but school education should be people-oriented. Education is not only for students' grades, but also for children's all-round development. The school education shared below also needs humanization.
School education also needs humanization. 1 German education is famous for its profound cultural heritage and perfect system. However, for children, rigorous Germans seem to be more tolerant. They respect each child's personality, and even for those "problem" children in the eyes of ordinary people, they can find out the shining side of children.
The following is a clip of German education seen by two children's education researchers during their visit to German schools, which may serve as an example to help you understand how an excellent cultural background and tradition have permeated all aspects of education.
A quiet corner that comes in and out at will
In the classrooms of kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools in Germany, there is an independent area called the quiet corner.
The quiet corner of the kindergarten is semi-open and safe, with soft cushions and pillows and dolls. Children aged 3-6 can do somersaults in it, or hug the dolls inside to meet their skin requirements.
The quiet corner of a primary school is often closed, usually with cabinets on three sides and curtains on one side, with sofas, tables and books inside. In class, if children want to be alone, they can enter this area by themselves. The teacher won't interfere with him, but he will pay special attention to the student because his behavior exposes his psychological needs.
We once chatted with a classmate in a quiet corner, and their answer was-"I just want to be alone for a while." Other students also have normal expressions.
This system makes us feel very fresh. This design at least helps children to face their emotions and emotions positively, and at the same time provides teachers with observable external behaviors, which makes it possible for further supportive help. I remember that loneliness was mentioned in a book about the spirit of German universities. The author thinks that the outstanding achievements of German universities are related to being able to withstand loneliness, and the quiet corner design of basic education has actually rationalized the demand for solitude. Being alone is the release of the spirit, at least that's my understanding.
Christmas pony
In a special small class, 10 lovely children are having a clay sculpture class next to a teacher. Because Christmas is coming, the teacher is telling the children the story of Jesus' birth in the manger with great interest. The desktop is full of pony toys of different shapes. The theme of this lesson is to make a pony out of mud. A lovely blond boy attracted us. He was absorbed in playing with mud, but the play of other children didn't disturb him at all. He was completely immersed in his own world. I sat next to him and quietly observed his production process: kneading, kneading, patting, kneading ... skilled and full of passion. This process obviously makes boys very happy. Half an hour passed, and the pony was finally finished. The little boy smiled and proudly held it up for me to take a picture of his pony. "and." The little boy said to himself, and quickly picked up a helicopter-like wing and put it on the pony. "The pony can fly again!" I couldn't help but give the little boy a silent praise with my thumb.
After class, the teacher of this class told me that these children are all children with different types of learning disabilities, and after the test and judgment of psychologists, they have formed such a class that needs special counseling. These children have no mental problems. They are even children with extraordinary intelligence. They focus on what they are interested in and show great interest and talent in learning. But in the face of things that you are not interested in, your brain will be blank and you can't listen to the teacher normally. German teachers call this phenomenon "black box phenomenon".
In addition to normal teachers, this kind of teaching class is also equipped with special psychological counseling teachers. After one or two semesters of effective training, these children 100% can enter normal classes. The little blond boy who is a Christmas pony is a very talented child. It is a touching aspect of the humanization of German education to actively encourage children to display their talents and take early measures to correct what we call "partiality".
School education also needs humanization II. Blind spots in school education and family education.
At present, schools and parents are sparing no effort to develop children's intelligence, but education related to students' physical and mental health is often ignored intentionally or unintentionally. Life education has become a blind spot in current education. Children lack the minimum understanding and thinking about death, the true meaning of "death" and the preciousness of "life", and naturally do not know how to cherish their own lives.
In recent years, the tragedy of adolescent suicide has been reported frequently in newspapers, which is regrettable. According to the investigation of relevant departments, the suicide rate of teenagers in China has been on the rise in recent years, and there is a trend of youthfulness. Experts believe that schools and families urgently need to strengthen life education and cultivate students' good character and mind.
Fragile psychology
On the evening of April 13 this year, Xin Li, a 4-year-old girl from Dongying City/Kloc-0? Because he was asked by the school to cut his hair short, he jumped from the window on the fifth floor of his home and died; On April 9, two primary school students in Xingtang County, Shijiazhuang City jumped hand in hand from the balcony on the third floor of the school dormitory because of the pressure of study. Fortunately, neither of them hurt their lives. On March 3 1, a senior high school student in Yuhang committed suicide by jumping off a building after quarreling with his parents because his mother unplugged the Internet cable. On the same day, a girl from a junior high school in Kunming was wronged by 42.5 yuan and jumped from the third floor of the school, causing a lumbar fracture; On March 17, a boy from Renxian No.1 Middle School in Hebei jumped to his death because of problems in love. On February 27th, a high school student in Shaoyang committed suicide by jumping off a building to "prove his innocence". ...
During the interview, many primary and middle school students revealed that if they encounter unpleasant things in their lives, most of them "shut themselves in the house". /kloc-Xiao Yang, 0/3 years old, said: "When I am in a bad mood, I always want to hit people or even commit suicide." Because his parents always communicate with him on the basis of his grades, they will praise him severely if they get good grades in the exam, and they will have no position at home if they get poor grades. His parents also accused him of peeking at TV and extracurricular books while studying hard, and he tried to run away from home many times.
Teenagers do not know the taste of sorrow, which should be the true nature of children, but now many children have "heart disease" and many children show the characteristics of "strawberry", that is, the appearance is bright and gorgeous, and the heart is pale and powerless; It looks very personal outside, but it can't stand being squeezed at all.
In today's children's minds, life is entirely their own business, and they commit suicide if they can't bear the pressure. They have no idea how much pain their actions will bring to their families. Teenagers ignore life because they don't know the value of life, which also reflects the lack of life education.
In today's increasingly fierce competition, on the one hand, parents take "no matter how bitter they are, they can't suffer their children" to the extreme, and children are spoiled since childhood. On the other hand, children's hearts are squeezed and deformed by their parents' psychological expectations. At school, children become test machines, and their nature is strangled. In this context, children's hearts are prone to problems.
Missing life education
The reporter's investigation found that most parents are not aware of the importance of life education at present. "Now the competition is so fierce, if you don't study hard, you won't be admitted to a good university, and you won't even find a decent job in the future. What should I do? " As a company employee, Mr. Wei said. Parents value their children's academic performance more than anything else. For life education, many parents think it is completely unnecessary, as long as they ensure that their children eat well, dress well and don't get sick.
Not only do parents hold this attitude towards their children's growth, but many schools and teachers also stay at this level. Life education in many schools is still blank. A young teacher who asked not to be named made no secret of his views in front of reporters: "The main task of a teacher is to guide students to learn book knowledge. Class time is limited. If you spend too much time in other areas, you can't finish your teaching tasks on time, and you have to make up lessons after class. This is forbidden. " "All kinds of assessment mainly depends on the results. In the face of the constraints of exam-oriented education, there is nothing we can do. " Another old teacher with many years of teaching experience said frankly, "In the usual teaching, we also want to give students some other education and explain some relevant common sense. But under the influence of the baton, everyone has to focus on improving students' academic performance. "
Obviously, schools and parents are sparing no effort to develop children's intelligence, but education related to students' physical and mental health is often ignored intentionally or unintentionally. Life education has become a blind spot in current education. Children lack the minimum understanding and thinking about death, don't know the true meaning of "death" and don't know the preciousness of "life". They naturally don't know how to cherish their own lives, and they don't know how to respect others' lives. It can be said that teenagers' indifference to life and confusion about life are all related to the educational concept of the whole society and its living environment.
Life education touches children's hearts.
Education experts say that schools are the main channel of education, and life education cannot be separated from the infiltration of classroom education. Its content involves many disciplines and should reflect the cross-infiltration of many disciplines. For example, Chinese, morality, society, music, art and other disciplines all contain rich life education content. Teachers should enhance the awareness of life education in the teaching of various subjects, tap the explicit and implicit contents of life education, guide students to know the value and beauty of life, cherish life, respect life, love life, and give students lively life education in a timely and appropriate manner. At the same time, using cases closely related to students as teaching resources, using a variety of means and methods to carry out life education activities. Schools should consider the healthy growth and long-term development of students, implement quality education and play an important and unique role in life education.
Real life education should touch children's hearts and pay more attention to children's humanistic care. This is also a systematic project. Schools, families and society should work together to help children learn to distinguish right from wrong, truth, goodness and beauty, and let them know that life is like a journey, with both wonderful and dangerous ways. Sometimes it's calm and sunny, sometimes it's covered with thorns and dark clouds. Life is unique in the world, and nothing is worth testing and exchanging with life.
Confucius said, "I don't know life, I don't know death." Life education for children is inseparable from death education. They are like human legs. Teachers and parents should infiltrate death education in life education, so that children can understand that there is death in life and human life is limited. For example, let students go to the hospital to feel the great pain brought by the death of a patient to their families, knowing that people can't come back to life after death, and life is only once for everyone; How precious life is to yourself and your family. You can also ask some "survivors" to talk about their feelings about life, because people who have experienced death have a deeper understanding of the meaning of life, and they miss and cherish life more, so that children can be kind to themselves and others' lives.
Family Education and School Education Abroad: Integrating Life Education into Life
There are two kinds of life education in broad sense and narrow sense: the narrow sense of life education refers to the concern for life itself, including the lives of individuals and others, and then extends to all natural life. Life education in a broad sense is a kind of holistic education, which includes not only the care for life, but also the cultivation of survival ability and the promotion of life value.
Life education developed earlier abroad, and it was integrated into life. Two students from an American school disappeared in a fire. An overseas student from China rushed into the fire to save people and never came out. Afterwards, the education department did not praise the student, but criticized the school and teachers because they did not educate the children how to escape and how to protect their lives. In the American concept, human life is the most important.
In primary school classes in Britain, practitioners or nurses in the funeral industry will tell students what will happen after a person dies, and let students take turns to simulate the coping style in case their parents die in a car accident, so as to experience the feeling of suddenly becoming orphans and let students learn to control their emotions under special circumstances.
Life education in Australia emphasizes that every child is "unique". Life education centers and schools in this country pay attention to the establishment of good partnership between students and the interaction between home and school. At the same time, with the help of mobile classroom teaching staff, multimedia technology and interactive teaching assistance, the significance of life education is conveyed.
In Japan, "redundant education" is one of the important contents of life education. "Yu Yu Education" advocates "love life and choose to be strong", aiming at making teenagers realize the beauty and importance of life, so that they can better face and bear setbacks, love life more and cherish life.
