As soon as I saw the name of this book, I seemed to find a bosom friend. I always thought that everything should be happy. Even if it is bitter, we should enjoy it, so as to keep a good attitude. On the other hand, if education and learning are regarded as endless suffering, it will be difficult to come over. Then, should we change "there is no limit to learning the sea and building a boat" to "there is no limit to building a boat"?
Spencer said: painful lessons make people hate knowledge, while pleasant lessons make knowledge attractive. I also have a deep understanding of this. I remember once in class, the teaching and research section came down to teach and listened to a poem by Xin Qiji from Qingpingle Village. In class, I learned that "drunken martial arts are in love", which is a difficult point to understand. I performed "Drunk Xuzhou Dialect Loudly" with a boy in my class, and the students not only laughed their heads off, but also understood this sentence. When everyone gave me feedback and guidance after class, they all praised me for this practice. Really received a good teaching effect and changed it to what children like.
Happiness is not only the essence of education, but also the essence of life. People have to go through many things in the world all their lives. If we regard all these as suffering, how much suffering will our hearts bear every time we experience them. But if we treat these things as games and hold a happy attitude, it will be much easier. Here, I'm not saying that I can do it easily, but I have a good attitude, practice hard and treat it with a calm smile.
After reading Spencer's Happy Education, I feel 2. Nowadays, children study very hard, and parents and teachers teach them very painfully. How can children learn happily? Spencer's happy education method mentioned in Spencer's Happy Education is a good answer to this question.
Throughout the book, I don't see much truth. When reading this book, I prefer to read Spencer's educational diary. Many short stories and cases recorded in the book reflect the troubles of educating children that are often encountered in life. This book provides us with many practical methods, so it feels friendly and practical to read.
In this book, Spencer believes that education should teach a person how to live, so that he can acquire all kinds of scientific knowledge needed for life and prepare for his future life. Education should be a pleasant process, aiming at making children a happy person. Happy education and happy life are the basis of educational ideas. Because when children are happy, it is easier for them to learn anything; On the contrary, when they are depressed and nervous, their confidence will be weakened, even if there are great educators facing them, there is nothing they can do. Therefore, Spencer made many feasible suggestions to parents and teachers. If you are an educator, don't educate your children when you are in a bad mood. Strive to create a happy atmosphere, be more friendly and encourage, help children overcome unhappiness and give them the strength to be happy. Let interest lead to happiness and knowledge, but don't associate interest with the established model of society or school, and delete some so-called useless interests. Let children have a little happy exercise every day; To avoid over-education and over-study, children should stop writing homework before they show fatigue, because rote learning can't be absorbed by the mind, but it will make people tired of book knowledge; We should attach importance to physical education, not only at home, but also in class, and of course it should be extended to a wider scope.
Spencer's educational methods and theories are still worth listening to by every parent and teacher. His educational theory can just adapt to these changes in the future. His educational works are the best textbooks for parents and teachers, the' prophecy book' of China's new education era, and the best guide for cultivating new people in the future.
Spencer's educational thoughts have great charm and function, and we teachers should taste these classic thoughts to improve our educational and teaching ability.
Spenser's Happy Education has been watched for three times, and it's really a feeling of seeing each other for a long time. It should be said that this is a book for parents of children, mainly about family education, but I also benefited a lot from the teacher's point of view. Because to some extent, family education is a prelude to school education, and school education is an extension of family education. Who can easily deny the similarity between these two relationships? Herbert Spencer was born in an unknown town on the outskirts of Derby in central England. His grandfather, father and two uncles are all teachers. He had many brothers and sisters, but unfortunately, six brothers and sisters died one after another. In Spencer's view, this is due to the lack of minimum parents. The little Spencer mentioned repeatedly in the book is actually not his own son, but the orphan of his distant brother Danny Spencer, but Herbert Spencer has assumed the role of father for this poor child and never even got married for it. It can be said that he suffered from the misfortune of his family, but he also saved the unfortunate family. Maybe I have suffered too much misfortune, so I pay special attention to happiness.
The author takes Spencer's growth experience as a clue, takes happy education as the theme, combines theory with practice, combines ideas with methods, sees the big from the small, and makes sense from facts, which is quite enlightening to read. It covers all aspects of pedagogy, psychology, medicine and physiology, and it is indeed a rare educational book.
Thoughts on reading Spencer's Happy Education 4. This is a family education monograph full of love, humanity and spirituality. It took me a day to finish reading him hungrily, and my heart was like a raging wave, which could not be calm for a long time. As a teacher with more than ten years' teaching experience and the mother of a four-year-old boy, I feel that I have made too many mistakes.
The following ideas will benefit me, my children and my students.
First, every good deed will not be ignored, and every effort will be rewarded.
Recall our parents and then our childhood. Although we are parents, we all remember even a little kindness and hard work from our parents when we were young. If you plant good quality, it will bring children a lifetime harvest. Dear parents, I wonder if this passage has aroused your deep memories and thoughts. How can you worry about a child who grew up in a loving and kind family? Just as we plant a tree and sow a seed, we reap love and hope, hard work and sweat. I once chatted with a parent. She said that when she was a child, when she took the bus with her children, she gave her seat to others no matter what the situation was, and it was very difficult, and she often subsidized some poor people. The child kept it in mind and wrote many times in his composition that he had a great mother. She said shyly, I don't think I did anything. Why do children always write about me like this? There is pride and joy in her words. So we don't have to tell our children how important it is to do good deeds. Just do it. Children will see it in their eyes, remember it in their hearts and live a happy life.
Second, twelve cards that walk into the child's heart.
What is the child thinking? What kind of problems are you facing? A child's inner world is like a box full of secrets. In this box, there are animals, people, dreams and emotions, and it is cluttered. If you don't open it often, if you open it inadvertently one day, a mouse may run out of it and scare you.
I think the design of these twelve cards is too clever. We often don't know what children are thinking, how to make them open their hearts and how to communicate better, but I think these twelve cards will solve the problem easily. Who will refuse to play games? In this way, you can easily enter the child's heart, understand his inner secrets, and help him solve his inner confusion in happy play. What a wonderful thing, dear parents and friends, you might as well try it.
Thoughts on reading Spencer's Happy Education 5 British educator H. Spencer wrote in Spencer's Happy Education, "In essence, both family education and school education should respect children's rights in addition to imparting knowledge and moral cultivation. If you don't understand this, any painstaking education will fail. "
Teachers' bounden duty lies in educating people and cultivating students' beautiful hearts, so teachers have the reputation of human soul engineers. In addition to profound knowledge, teachers should also respect students. How to respect students? I am also a primary school teacher. Personally, I think we should start from these aspects.
First, listen to the child's explanation.
Everyone has the right to speak, but not everyone has this right, especially those children who often make mistakes. When he is criticized and accused, their explanations and excuses are often interrupted like this: "Don't argue, I don't want to hear any more from you." When children hear these words, they will instinctively feel wronged, and those who are wronged rarely reflect on their mistakes. In view of this, before criticizing children, we should all listen carefully if children want to justify their actions. If you were angry or busy, pass the time and say, "Come to my office or after school, and I will certainly hear your explanation." After the child makes an excuse, we will generally understand the motivation or initial purpose of his behavior, so that further education can be targeted and children will generally accept it more easily. There is a good saying: if a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn; If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident; If a child lives with irony, he learns to be shy; If a child lives with recognition, he learns to love himself. It seems a small problem to make excuses for children, but once children understand that we should respect others' right to speak at all times, they will treat others in the same way.
Second, give children a chance.
Every child wants to be trusted and liked by the teacher, especially the children in the lower grades attach great importance to whether they can be the monitor and get the class key. At the beginning of each semester, the head teacher should announce in the class that every student is the master of the class and it is every student's obligation to manage the class. In this semester, everyone is responsible for managing the class for at least one day, that is, The monitor on duty. Under normal circumstances, the students in the class are numbered, and they take turns to be The monitor on duty every day according to the arranged order. The purpose of doing this is not to make some children feel lost because they can't get the teacher's attention, thus losing their interest in learning.
Third, appreciate children.
Teacher-student relationship is like looking in the mirror. If you smile at him, he will smile back at you. If you are angry with him, he will be angry with you; You snubbed him, and he snubbed you. The difference is that if you smile at him, he may laugh at you; If you laugh at him, he may rebel against you. Then, if you smile at him again, he may be indifferent. Therefore, we should not only love students, but also express our love in the right way. When dealing with students who make mistakes, we have gone through a thankless road. We should find out students' mistakes and never let them go easily. For example, when dealing with the problem that students don't hand in their homework, we always insist that they finish their homework, and even severely criticize them in front of their classmates in class, and even don't let them go home after school until they finish their homework. This tough measure really worked at first, but over time, students will make the same problem again. After reading Spenser's Happiness, I know that from the student's point of view, I have to consider why there is such a situation, whether it is a large amount of homework, a study habit problem, or a special reason why the students didn't finish it. Communicate with students with this mentality, first understand the family situation of students, see if there are any special reasons, then contact parents, understand the situation of children at home, and understand the reasons why students didn't do their homework. Finally, let the students explain themselves first to see if it is in line with what they know. Finally, according to the student's own problems, discuss the facts with him, make a plan, and ask his trusted classmates and teachers to supervise together to strengthen. In this way, students have changed from passive teacher management education to self-management education, and they are quite active. Teachers only play a guiding role, but the educational effect has been greatly improved.
Every teacher has a sincere love for his students, which is what people call teacher love. However, love is different from purposeful education, which requires more patience and skills. As long as we respect children, we will certainly create a harmonious educational atmosphere.
After reading Spencer's Happy Education, I think there are two kinds of thoughts in the world: one is born with the changes of the times and declared obsolete with the end of this era, and the other is born with the changes of the times, but it has immortal value to human beings, just like a diamond that lasts forever and one that remains unchanged. It has been polished by time, but it is more dazzling.
Spencer's "happy education" undoubtedly belongs to the latter thought.
His education has been proved to be universally applicable, because it reveals the law of human nature and psychological development, which has benefited children and families endlessly.
Because of this, many scientists and educators call Spencer "the second Newton in human history". Eliot, president of Harvard University, called him a "true pioneer in education", and his thoughts are worth listening to by every parent and teacher. "
I read Spencer's Happy Education, which is the most useful and profound educational work after Rousseau's Emile. This book is half autobiography and half reading notes. The book includes Overture of Angel's Arrival, The First Secret of Happy Education, Happy Family Education, How to Educate Children Happily, How to Find Unhappy Bugs, How to Cultivate Happy Intelligence, The Law of Children's Psychological Growth, How to Cultivate Children's Self-study and Self-education Ability, How to Cultivate Children's Happy Writing Ability, and How to Use Useful Hints in Children's Education. How to Cultivate Children's Morality, Will and Quality, How to Cultivate Children's Body Happily, How to Avoid Over-education and Over-study, How to Respect Children's Rights, How to Cultivate Children's Lifelong Benefit Habit, How to Cultivate Children's Independence, How to Cultivate Children's Healthy Psychology, How to Teach Children the Most Valuable Knowledge, How to Educate Children Emotionally, How to Play the Role of Fatherhood in Education. This book not only pays attention to children's intellectual factors, but also pays attention to children's non-intellectual factors such as morality, emotion and habits, which are unconsciously carried out in "happiness". In fact, every family should read Spencer's Happy Education, which is like a wise tutor, always helping you to nurture your children intellectually, morally and willly in the best way, so that they can grow up healthily and civilly.
After reading this book, I feel less boring and more cordial and hit the floor. Hector left a deep impression on me? Spencer was shocked by his humanistic educational thoughts, attracted by his wonderful and pioneering educational methods, and amazed by his advanced educational ideas more than 0/00 years ago. Before, I have been thinking: can learning be "happy"? After reading Spencer's Happy Education, I really realized that the really effective "Happy Education" is not a simple concept. But a series of complete educational methods and concepts; Only "happy education" can stimulate curiosity, creativity and self-confidence to the maximum extent. I think happiness should be the true meaning of study and life. From time to time, I am ashamed of some mistakes I have made in my daily education, and I am glad that I have occasionally succeeded in the same educational method as Spencer. I listened to a wise old man's narrative, constantly enriching my almost exhausted mind. ...
It is mentioned in the book that if educators want to educate children effectively, they must make some educational preparations: delving into the main points, being interesting, being patient, and exercising self-restraint. Wit aside, when my students have problems, I mostly find out their faults, but seldom really analyze the root of the problems and give them real care. There is a really good saying-"Educate yourself while educating your children". We always appear in front of children as educators, but we often forget to keep ourselves educated.
On the study of knowledge, Spencer said: painful lessons make people hate knowledge, while pleasant lessons make knowledge attractive. Those who gain knowledge through intimidation and punishment may not continue to study in the future; Those who acquire knowledge through pleasant discovery are not only interested in the knowledge itself, but also motivated by many pleasant and successful experiences to carry out lifelong self-education. Isn't this the true meaning of education? I believe that every responsible teacher, like me, hopes that his classroom will be a pleasant classroom and that his students will study happily and succeed, which will also become the direction of our joint efforts. ...
When the child fails, tell him: everything can start again;
When a child encounters injustice, tell him: it's not your fault;
When a child is pessimistic, tell him: you have begun to succeed;
When the child is disgusted, tell him that everyone will make mistakes. Tolerance is good for everyone.
Reading this book, I also envy Mr. Spencer, because he said that he can teach with his own happy education method, but we have all kinds of constraints. But in any case, I look forward to studying hard, being a happy educator with the essence of Spencer's happy education, and taking the children to "enjoy the happiness of learning".
