Comments on Jiang Peirong's "The Competitiveness of the Next Generation" 1 First of all, let me talk about my thoughts on school reading activities. I think this activity is very beneficial, because it allows us to squeeze out time from busy work, calm down and read excellent books, and reflect on our work in combination with the contents in the book, so that our thoughts will be deeper and broader, and our work will have clear goals.
Secondly, I would like to talk about my understanding of the contents of the book "The Competitiveness of the Next Generation". This book shows us what qualities our next generation should have in order to improve their competitiveness in the era of globalization through 18 aspects, combined with the specific cases of the author's own three children. I generally agree with the author. For example, it is necessary to cultivate children's spirit of cooperation, creativity, passion, imagination, frustration tolerance and leadership, to make children sincere, willing to pay and have character, and to let children learn to learn and communicate.
But I found that these views of Ms. Jiang are not very original, because I have seen such views in many books and articles. So why is such a boring book so popular? I think many of our teachers and parents are not ignorant of the truth in the book, but have failed to do it. After reading the book, I feel that I have not done well in many aspects, so I think this book is particularly valuable and can be used as a guide for my actions. I am one of them.
I think we should look at this book from the perspective of reference and critical absorption. Ms. Jiang is the chief interviewer of MIT China. On behalf of MIT, she brings students with her school philosophy and American philosophy. And whether the ideas of MIT and the United States are suitable for China's national conditions? My opinion is not necessarily. He didn't hire Li Taibo, the top science student in Beijing College Entrance Examination. But I think we can definitely get into Tsinghua Peking University. Another example is whether the political system of separation of powers in the United States is good or not. However, our party and government have repeatedly stated that China will not adopt this political model because it is not suitable for China's national conditions. So I also think that Ms. Jiang's point of view is good, good. But should I adopt it or not? My attitude is: use it reasonably according to the actual situation. Because my students were not sent to MIT, but to a high school in Shangyu, China.
The spirit of cooperation is an excellent quality, and in many cases, cooperation shows its great role. For example, the development of China's space industry is by no means the result of one person's efforts. So I usually pay great attention to the cultivation of students' cooperative spirit. In the school sports meeting, there must be excellent performance of athletes, cheering cheerleaders, tireless cleaning of students on duty, positive contribution of composition students and discipline of all students, so as to show a good face of a class. In the process of cleaning and building class spirit, I told students the importance of cooperation. I pointed out to the students that the class is a collective, and the class spirit depends on the cooperation of each student.
However, does everything need cooperation? The answer is no, when it's time to act independently, you can't cooperate. This is mainly reflected in homework and exams. Some students often like to do homework together. For example, you do the first few questions, I do the last few questions, and then copy from each other. Teachers assign the most homework and can finish it in a relatively short time. Some students are also very cooperative during the exam. When we make an appointment to go to the toilet together and then exchange answers, the exam results will be significantly improved. Therefore, I educate students to be independent in their studies. Homework and exams can't match. You can't discuss problems when you do your homework. If you can't do it, you can. How to understand it? You have to wait until the teacher finishes correcting it. Let your knowledge and ability defects be exposed to the teacher, and let the teacher know the actual situation of each student's knowledge mastery. This is much better than what you call correctly completing your homework after consulting your classmates without really mastering knowledge.
Reflections on Jiang Peirong's Competitiveness of the Next Generation 2 I read the book Competitiveness of the Next Generation written by Ms. Jiang Peirong during the holiday, and I felt a lot, especially about the book Parents should regard setbacks as opportunities for growth.
Nowadays, children are used to relying on their parents and teachers. Parents like to do everything. Therefore, they think that life should be smooth sailing and everything should develop according to their own will. They are the center of life, and once something unexpected happens or they are left out, they will give up on themselves.
Therefore, far-sighted parents should artificially set some difficulties for their children, support some artificial problems and setbacks raised by teachers, give their children the courage to overcome difficulties, and teach them ways to overcome difficulties, instead of blaming teachers as soon as they hear their complaints and grievances. Only in this way can we cultivate useful talents who are physically and mentally healthy and indomitable in adversity.
Some parents have no principles when educating their children, and even act according to their faces. As long as they don't make trouble, anything can be done. The result of over-accommodating or taking care of children is to encourage the formation of bad temper and confuse children with good and evil. For example, in the past, when children were fighting, parents would criticize the children first and then apologize to the other children. This will not only help solve the problem, but also give children the impression that fighting is wrong for whatever reason. Now the message that children get from it is that it is reasonable to hit people! Obviously, this is immoral. Of course, children will feel unhappy when they are restrained or criticized, but it is very beneficial to their mental health.
First, the expectations of children should be reasonable, and children should be trained to evaluate themselves correctly.
Every child has his own strengths and weaknesses, so parents should have an objective evaluation and put forward reasonable expectations for their children's growth accordingly, so as to motivate children to work hard for suitable development goals. If parents only see the child's advantages and ignore his shortcomings, the child will be complacent because of his lack of understanding of his own shortcomings and cannot accept failure; If parents have unrealistic high expectations for their children, it will increase their psychological pressure and make them afraid to face failure; Of course, if parents always find fault with their children, belittle them and have no expectations for them, it will also hurt their self-esteem. Such children lack self-confidence and will avoid difficulties in order to avoid setbacks. In short, parents' unreasonable expectations of their children, whether too high or too low, will hinder children from objectively evaluating themselves, so that events that should not have caused frustration, such as normal failures or difficulties that can be overcome with a little effort, may cause setbacks to children. In other words, unreasonable expectations will increase the chances of children encountering setbacks. On the contrary, parents' reasonable expectations can guide children to evaluate themselves correctly. In this case, on the one hand, children will not easily feel frustrated; On the other hand, on the basis of correct self-evaluation, we can have appropriate expectations for the difficulties and setbacks that may be encountered in the process of achieving our goals. In this way, children will be psychologically prepared to bear setbacks and will respond objectively and calmly when facing setbacks.
Second, set an example for children and cultivate their confidence in overcoming difficulties.
Psychological research shows that role models have a great influence on the formation and change of children's behavior. Setting an example for children who are not afraid of difficulties and overcome setbacks not only helps to enhance their confidence in facing setbacks bravely, but also reveals a truth to children, that is, we should not only admire anyone who is successful, but also admire and learn. There is no easy success in the world. Only those who keep making progress in setbacks can win the crown of success.
In daily life, parents should often tell their children about the growth and success of some celebrities in setbacks. I hope that children can follow the example of these celebrities and don't be afraid of setbacks. Children's best direct role models in life are their parents. "example is better than words." Parents' attitudes and behaviors towards setbacks will exert a subtle influence on children's attitudes and behaviors.
Children can also be their role models. For example, parents should instruct their children to record their experiences of overcoming setbacks. In this way, when the child faces setbacks in the future, he can be reminded to look at these records and learn from himself. Of course, the form of setting children as their role models is by no means unique. Parents and children can combine reality to create special forms suitable for their families.
Third, be a "consultant" for children and cultivate their self-reliance ability and spirit.
Children with insufficient ability will be unable to cope with difficulties and will always be depressed by setbacks. Children with strong ability are good at solving problems and are not easily frustrated. Even if they are frustrated, they can actively seek solutions or compensation from other channels. Many children's abilities are formed and developed in the process of solving problems. When children face problems, parents should not take their place as "decision makers" to make and implement decisions for their children. Instead, they should act as "consultants", give them advice, make suggestions on their choices, and teach children some ways to overcome difficulties. Finally, children should make their own decisions and carry them out. This educational process can not only cultivate children's ability, but also cultivate children's spirit of being responsible for their actions.
It is not easy to cultivate children's self-reliance ability and spirit. Parents should attach importance to enriching their children's daily life experience by letting them handle all kinds of "small things" related to their own lives independently, so that children can gain self-reliance ability and spirit from these experiences. Lack of experience in coping with life independently, children who "reach out with clothes and open their mouths with food" often dare not face difficulties and are vulnerable to setbacks. A young college student from Sichuan dropped out of school because he could not live independently without the care of his parents. When he was told by the school to go back to school, he didn't dare to face the coming life alone and jump off a building to face such a tragedy. We should wake up. Although this is an extreme case, it does remind us not to underestimate the daily "small things" that ask children to serve their own lives, do their own laundry, clean the room and so on. Because these little things are important ways to cultivate children's self-reliance and spirit and improve their ability to cope with setbacks.
Fourth, give children the opportunity to exercise and cultivate their courage to bear setbacks.
It is impossible for a child not to encounter setbacks in his life. In order to make children suffer less in later life, what parents should do in the process of their children's growth is to carefully design a beneficial educational environment, so that children can suffer properly in the process of growing up and cultivate their courage and ability to bear setbacks. With such preparation, children may suffer less in the future. Many parents also understand this truth, educating their children to be brave and strong, but this kind of education is often only verbal, which parents can neither bear nor dare to put their children in trouble. However, perseverance in the face of setbacks can not be cultivated by preaching. Children must experience setbacks in order to surpass them. Therefore, parents should also pay attention to the design of educational environment in daily education, and don't blindly create a living environment where all needs can be easily met for their children, let alone hinder their children's opportunities to properly accept difficulties and setbacks. It is far more effective for children to insist on a physical exercise, participate in military training organized by the school, and properly participate in housework and other activities than you preach to cultivate their courage to bear setbacks and their ability to overcome setbacks.
Children are the flowers and future of the motherland. They will undertake the important task of building a better 2 1 century. Their psychological quality and ability to withstand setbacks will directly affect the soaring of the Chinese nation. Let us remember Mr. Chen Heqin's words from now on: "Don't worry about failure, what we should worry about is that we dare not do anything because we are afraid of failure." Our teachers and parents should dare to let their children go forward and let them receive some appropriate and moderate frustration education.
Comments on Jiang Peirong's "The Competitiveness of the Next Generation" 3 Parents who are enthusiastic about the education of the next generation, their greatest wish is to cultivate a "super child" and stand out in the competition of the next generation. But what are the advantages of the next generation? How competitive are they?
During the summer vacation, I read Ms. Jiang Peirong's book The Competitiveness of the Next Generation. Ms. Jiang Peirong, the chief interviewer in China, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, summarized the topic of 18 how to cultivate competitive children based on her personal parenting experience and many interview cases. Ms. Pei Rong tells us through real stories and cases: What are the quality requirements for children in the era of globalization, and how to cultivate the next generation facing the future?
First, cultivate children's sense of competition.
In actual study and life, there are always some children who are willing to lag behind in an activity, afraid of competition, and show negative will qualities such as vacillation and timidity. After parents understand the situation, they can use advanced examples of heroes to motivate their children to make progress, introduce how some great (famous) people experienced repeated failures, got up again and again, and finally won glory for their country, encouraging their children to establish a competitive consciousness of "I can do it" and participate in small-scale competitions among groups. In front of the group, most children's fears will be alleviated to varying degrees, showing a competitive situation. Teachers should fully explore the typical examples around students, let them compare and guide them to learn and catch up. Students' fleeting sense of competition gradually became strong and persistent, and gradually formed a conscious action, which became the driving force for their own progress.
Second, adjust children's competitive mentality.
Some students are bent on being better than others, but they don't think about how to be better than others. Instead, they hope that others are worse than themselves and have jealousy. In order to surpass others, some students cheat to get temporary results; Some students feel that they can't surpass others, subjectively don't work hard, and retaliate against outstanding students. These mentalities are not only detrimental to his present progress, but also to his future social development. How can we do better than others, and what kind of mentality should students face the competition? This is related to the formation of students' excellent quality and the healthy development of students' psychology. As a teacher, while emphasizing competition, we should pay attention to adjusting students' competitive mentality, guiding them to the right competitive road and fighting for it through proper means. Competition can make students pay attention to all aspects of study and life, put forward higher requirements for themselves, and achieve the promotion effect. Teachers should strive to create a relaxed competitive atmosphere and let students know that the result of competition can not be ignored, but the most important thing is the process of competition. In the process of hard work, they should motivate themselves, transform themselves and sum up their improvement. At the same time of the competition, guide students to help and encourage each other, so as to achieve * * * progress * * * improvement.
Third, help children improve their competitiveness.
Most primary school students in today's society are only children. They are the darling of the family and generally lack the spirit of hard work and hard work. More often, because of fear of failure, I was nervous and rude during the game and couldn't play my due level. As parents, we should encourage our children to participate in various forms of competitive activities, let them wrestle as much as possible in the competition, stand the test of success or failure, and encourage them to get up and move on after falling. If children are afraid of losing face, parents can help them know what real face is, and those who are devastated by backward competition are the real losing face; On the contrary, those who don't give up because of failure, those who can sum up experience and lessons and continue to work hard, can finally win the competition. Some students are bent on being better than others, but they don't think about how to be better than others. Instead, they hope that others are worse than themselves and have jealousy. In order to surpass others, some students cheat to get temporary results; Some students feel that they can't surpass others, subjectively don't work hard, and retaliate against outstanding students. These mentalities are not only detrimental to his present progress, but also to his future social development. How can we do better than others, and what kind of mentality should students face the competition? This is related to the formation of students' excellent quality and the healthy development of students' psychology. As a teacher, while emphasizing competition, we should pay attention to adjusting students' competitive mentality, guiding them to the right competitive road and fighting for it through proper means. Competition can make students pay attention to all aspects of study and life, put forward higher requirements for themselves, and achieve the promotion effect. Teachers should strive to create a relaxed competitive atmosphere and let students know that the result of competition can not be ignored, but the most important thing is the process of competition. In the process of hard work, they should motivate themselves, transform themselves and sum up their improvement. At the same time of the competition, guide students to help and encourage each other, so as to achieve * * * progress * * * improvement.
In the new century, everything must be won by students themselves. Teachers who shoulder the sacred mission of teaching and educating people should teach them to compete, struggle and forge ahead, and teach them to face society and life. In this way, they will have a bright future.
