Amy's Essay on Reading 1 From the moment we were born, we began to want to get a qualification certificate as a parent-of course, there is no such certificate in this world.
Think about it carefully, what profession in this world is without a certificate? Journalists, doctors, teachers ... driving, shopping, cooking ... It seems that with such a certificate, there is a "stepping stone" to do this industry.
However, parents didn't, so when welcoming the arrival of a new life, while gaining great happiness, as novice parents, we can't help but be afraid-can we raise our children well?
Every child is a different individual with different personality characteristics. Every pair of parents has a mark from different families. It is precisely because of this profound understanding that we have always told ourselves that if we don't know how to study, we should not make up lessons intermittently, because this "qualification certificate" can't be "issued" until the child reaches adulthood. It is responsible for life.
I have been reading Emily recently, which contains a very important idea: to make a child grow up naturally and healthily like a tree, the role of parents is to protect him before he can withstand the wind and rain; Let him enjoy the sunshine, rain and dew and fertilizer in time; Insect him and cut off the extra branches.
The original text is like this: loving and prescient mother, because you are good at avoiding disasters, protect this growing seedling from the impact of various human public opinions. You should cultivate this small tree and water it so that its life can continue. His fruit will make you happy one day. Build a wall around the child's soul as soon as possible. Others can draw the scope of this fence, but you have to put a fence on it.
As parents, we have many shortcomings and often lack patience. However, how innocent the severely criticized children are. "There is nothing wrong with children, and parents are always wrong." However, we know this clearly, but we have been making mistakes. Reading Emily made me understand once again that as a parent, there are limits or boundaries. Children are independent individuals, and your responsibility is to protect and educate them, not to hurt and monopolize them, or to make them grow into what you want or hope.
Therefore, it is necessary to achieve high-quality companionship and protection. "Children are born weak, so they need strength; Born with nothing, so I need help; Born ignorant, you need judgment. " These things that were not born must have been given by education.
As a critically ill patient with mobile phone dependence, my father and I have been struggling with this problem during the child's growth. Because apart from working hours, our remaining time is actually limited. Therefore, how to put down the mobile phone, give the child high-quality companionship and let him get full of love is a process that we have been working hard. This also indirectly affects the protection of children. The younger the child, the longer the time spent with the child, the higher the attention, and the higher the safety factor of the child. When children don't have the ability to distinguish between good and bad, it is a skill that we must have as parents to use experience to eliminate danger in time.
We should cultivate children's "inner motivation" so that children can be healthy both physically and psychologically. Zhou Zheng, a famous psychologist in China, said that in fact, parents themselves are the best teachers for children, and schools are mainly responsible for imparting knowledge to children, and the "internal motivation" that ultimately determines success comes from family education. Children whose "internal motivation" is activated don't need to rush or stare, live actively and learn actively. They will have many friends, confident and optimistic. They will be fascinated by the mystery of mathematics and intoxicated by the beauty of Chinese. They are not afraid of problems, but their eyes are bright and eager to try. Even if they had average grades, they would work hard and come from behind.
To some extent, mental health is more important than physical health. Good psychological quality, a child's heart full of sunshine and strong ability to resist stress are also indispensable conditions for a child's physical health and healthy growth. We should cultivate children not to be dejected and depressed when they fail; Will not be complacent and get carried away when achieving excellent results; Love learning, full of strong interest in the unknown world; Love reading and regard reading as the normal state of life.
The ideal education in my mind should be as the author john henry newman said: The purpose of education is not to acquire knowledge, but to acquire a way of thinking-to keep a clear self-awareness in a monotonous life, not to be dragged away by a chaotic and unconscious life, but to control one's own life.
This kind of education "enables a person to have a clear and conscious understanding of his own views and judgments, and makes him reasonable when expounding his views, persuasive when expressing his views, and powerful when encouraging his views." Let him see the true colors of the world, get down to business, solve the confusion of thoughts, see through specious sophistry, and put aside irrelevant details. Let him be convincingly qualified for any position and easily master any subject. "At the same time, it has the ability to identify and avoid harm.
We should make ourselves happy and let our children have the ability to find happiness. If parents don't have the same happiness as themselves, how can they make their children have the power of happiness?
At the age of 30, we are actually on the road to perfecting ourselves. This perfection goes hand in hand with body and mind-"an adult's life needs to get up early, get to the office, deal with 8- 10 hours of challenging work, then go to the supermarket, cook, and go to bed early after a while." Because, the next day, I have to do it again. It is easy for people to form unconscious inertia in such a life: unconsciously turning over their mobile phones, speeding up the pace of life, falling into trivial necessities, turning a blind eye to people and things around them, being indifferent, angry, complaining ... without knowing it. " While learning to be a parent, it is actually very important. It is to let children see and feel that their parents are constantly learning, thinking and choosing, so that they can have faith and freedom. This is everyone's ability to be happy, and it is also the most important ability that children should learn from their parents.
"Emily" said: Among us, who can tolerate the happiness and troubles in life best, I think it is the best educated person.
Therefore, always tell yourself to be honest with yourself, be more honest with your children, let yourself learn, and tell your children through your own actions: believe in yourself, solve problems every time, accept challenges, tell yourself that you can do it and trust others; Learn to accept failure, otherwise you will never grow; Allow yourself to have normal feelings, including positive and negative feelings; Think positively about all the problems encountered and learn to be grateful. Gratitude can bring the purest happiness to mankind; Fully rest and exercise, and work and rest regularly; Love yourself and accept your imperfections, so that you can love others. ...
I want children to grow up naturally and healthily like a tree.
People often compare "a teacher is a candle that illuminates others and burns himself", but as a teacher in the new century, I think I should be a battery that keeps discharging and charging. Make yourself an inexhaustible battery. Therefore, we should "read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". The success of "walking" lies in the concrete and real feelings and experiences we get, while "reading" gives us more gains in cognitive rationality and system, and they have the function of mutual confirmation. When you go to "Wan Li Road" with your heart, it will be better if you combine it with "reading thousands of books". Only in this way can we expose our horizons and cultivate our sentiments. Only in this way can it become a battery with excellent quality.
This made me pick up Rousseau's Emile. I first heard of the book "Emile" when I was in a normal school. I think "Emily" will be a book familiar to teachers' majors. The relaxed and rigorous language, easy-to-understand words and expressions in the book "Emile" are achieved in one go! I appreciate the feeling of communicating with master Rousseau, and read the educational thoughts and philosophies contained in it, and I feel a lot.
In my impression, "Amir" is a person's name, which is the title of this book. I think it will be a book describing the growth process of Emile. The so-called "Emile" is just an educational object invented by Rousseau in order to expound his own thoughts. It's not what I thought, even though many cases involving "Emile" are naturally made up by Rousseau.
First, advocate nature education.
What Rousseau said in his early works made me think it was "natural education" at most. The so-called "natural education" is to abide by the eternal laws of nature and let people develop physically and mentally freely. He advocated teaching Emily to sing: "the voice should be accurate, steady, soft and loud;" His ears should recognize the brand and rhyme; However, this is enough, don't ask too much.
Onomatopoeia and stage music are not suitable for singing at his age; I don't even want him to sing the lyrics. If he wants to sing, I will try to sing him interesting lyrics suitable for his age, and the meaning of the lyrics should be as simple as his idea. "I personally appreciate this passage very much. I feel that I have been listening to the applause of some children singing pop songs with immature voices. What a pity! I believe Rousseau doesn't want to hear the voices of those vague and naive children, which is too contrary to his "nature".
Don't encourage others, just let nature take its course. In today's society, due to the rapid population growth and increasingly fierce social competition, countless parents are eager for their children to succeed, which stifles their children's playful nature from childhood, or forces them to read thick books or sign up for interest classes. I often see a 5-or 6-year-old child, accompanied by his parents, learning calligraphy, piano, dance and other specialties. Most of them are not voluntary, but forced by parents and teachers.
Especially when parents' dreams are not realized, they always want their children to realize them, so they impose their wishes on their children without considering their ideas at all. In retrospect, it seems natural that the children around me also attend interest classes such as Go, English and Chinese painting every weekend. But are we killing a child's nature of pursuing freedom? Are these children full of vigor and vitality under the compulsory education of parents and teachers? Is it full of freedom and soaring space?
In fact, our children are thoughtful. I think: When educating children, we can respect their wishes as much as possible, and let them run freely and laugh and play as much as possible on the Yuan Ye. Return to nature, let children adopt the aura of heaven and earth, collect the essence of the sun and the moon, and thus cultivate their spirituality and personality.
Second, advocate free education.
In Emile, the author's yearning for "freedom" is expressed between the lines, so it is particularly emphasized that education should be based on nature, not people, and the object of education should be people created by nature, not people. From today's perspective, these thoughts inevitably have their limitations: "nature" is also bound. If people's body and mind are allowed to develop freely, children can't learn systematic scientific and cultural knowledge. However, this defect cannot be concealed in. Rousseau educated his beloved son with equality and fraternity. This imaginary orphan lives happily in a free world that is not forced. I hope each of our children is a happy "Emily".
As a teacher, I should clearly realize the importance of the concept of nature education, fully tap children's talents, make our children's hearts close to nature, and let them grow up in a free air.
Third, advocate self-protection education.
There is a sentence in Rousseau's Emile that makes me feel very much. That is: "people only think about how to protect their children, which is not enough." We should teach him how to protect himself as an adult, teach him to bear the blow of fate, teach him not to look at luxury and poverty, and teach him to live in the ice and snow in Iceland or the burning rocks in malta island when necessary. "
In modern life, we always pay attention to methods, understanding and thinking, and pay attention to methods in work, sports and daily life. We should always remember how to educate our children. The quality of children's learning is a concern of every parent. Everyone tries their best to coach them and take part in some painting, dancing and piano training classes, but rarely educate them how to protect themselves when they grow up.
Teach children the right direction and methods, let them fall and get up, and exercise their independence and creativity in ups and downs. Encourage children to boldly put forward novel and unique ideas, provide them with various practical opportunities, let them learn while doing, and let them learn to learn independently. Autonomous learning mentioned here refers to children's high-quality learning. All learning that can effectively promote children's development must be autonomous learning.
A large number of observations and studies have fully proved that only when children feel that others care about them, are curious about what they have learned, can actively participate in the learning process, get proper affirmation after the task is completed, can see the chance of success, feel interested in and challenged by what they have learned, and feel that they are doing meaningful things, can such learning be truly effective. In order to promote children's autonomous development, it is necessary to create a situation and atmosphere for children to participate in autonomous learning as much as possible.
In short, after reading Emily, I have a deeper understanding of the profound meaning of the sentence "Education is an art". We should work and live happily, consciously love education, and have a sense of responsibility and love for children, which is also a satisfaction and happiness for kindergarten teachers. Such a teacher can make children live healthily, happily, culturally, with a sense of mission, responsibility and love in the process of education. Children can learn to care about life, respect life, praise life and defend life. Can cultivate children with independent personality and love life.
Rousseau was the most outstanding Enlightenment activist in18th century. He created a large number of famous works, among which Emil had the most far-reaching influence. It is an educational masterpiece, which mainly focuses on the protagonist Emile, tells the physiological and psychological characteristics of Emile in different periods, and permeates various educational methods. It occupies an important position and plays a great role in the field of modern educational art.
It took twenty years to complete the conception of this work and three years to complete the creation. Once published, it caused a sensation effect and set off an educational frenzy. Emil in Rousseau's works not only has a philosophical mind, but also works hard and pursues freedom and equality. This is undoubtedly an ideal character image envisioned by the author. Rousseau severely criticized feudal education with the image of Emile.
Throughout the book, in the works of this department, the author's educational thoughts are as follows:
1, treat the child as a child. Advocating respect for children's natural nature and encouraging free development and self-help growth will make children gain more happiness and laughter.
2. Natural education thought. Nature education in this paper refers to respecting children's essence and nature, following the normal growth law, and taking targeted education methods in combination with the specific characteristics of children at different ages.
3. The author thinks that children are not adults, they have different lives, and childhood belongs to a natural phenomenon and exists objectively. Laying the foundation for adult life is not the only purpose of childhood, it has specific value.
Rousseau believes that education and teaching should respect the objective development law of things, conform to children's nature, and not allow arbitrary interference, let alone stiffly add adult thinking to children. In the increasingly fierce social competition, parents give their children too high expectations in order not to be excluded by the cruel society, so as not to lose at the starting line. They are afraid that their children will lose to others, so they enroll their children in various specialties and cram schools. Piano, dance, painting and so on occupy their spare time, and they have no time to play, depriving children of their right to choose. This practice not only fails to achieve the expected results, but sometimes backfires, distorting the child's personality and generating too many negative emotions. Rousseau advocates that teachers should treat the concept of nature education correctly, dig deep into children's inherent talents, provide children with more opportunities to get close to nature, and let children grow up freely.
Emile is also a work about human nature education. Rousseau pointed out in his book that harvesting happiness is the only goal of carrying out educational activities. He advocates autonomous teaching, and teachers stimulate learning interest while imparting knowledge, so as to improve learning autonomy and realize a smooth transition from asking me to asking me to learning.
In this work, the idea of never hurting others gives me the deepest feeling, which is also infiltrating moral education into readers. No matter in any period of personal growth, we should strictly abide by this lesson, be kind to others and not allow to harm their interests.
Rousseau advocates that children's education should conform to nature and take children as the standard. At the beginning of Emile, he said, "Everything is good for the creator of nature, but once it is held, it will go bad." Rousseau believes that education follows nature, conforms to children's nature, does not interfere with children, and imposes adult thinking on children, so that children should be allowed to grow freely.
Any social interference with children will make them feel unfree, unequal and even sinful. Any way of education that goes against nature will lead to the abnormal development of children and have serious consequences. Therefore, Rousseau strongly advocated that children should be kept away from society, return to nature, see and listen in the natural environment and not accept secular influences before their understanding has developed.
Rousseau believes that children are not containers that can be shaped and filled at will, not whiteboards, but "natural beings" with their fixed laws. Therefore, he advocates that education should follow children's natural nature and be carried out in stages according to the procedures of children's natural development. Locke, a great British philosopher before him, once thought that children are like a whiteboard, and educators can shape children in any way they want.
In this view of children, education is repeated training, which treats children as a container and is filled by adults at will. This concept of children's education has a great influence on education. In today's preschool education practice, we can still see this influence. In fact, the above example of children's educational misunderstanding is also the poison of Locke's educational view. As a teacher, I should clearly realize the importance of the concept of nature education, fully tap children's talents, make children's hearts close to nature, and let children grow up in free air.
After reading Emily, I think we should pay more attention to the cultivation of children's thoughts and sentiments in our usual teaching, actively guide and encourage students to experience natural beauty in nature, exercise children's ability to live independently, cultivate children's spirit of overcoming difficulties and uniting and helping each other, and establish good interpersonal relationships. Students should be exposed to, understand and master some latest scientific and technological knowledge as much as possible, care about issues of common concern in the contemporary world, and present them with a brilliant blueprint for contemporary and future scientific development.
The means of education is life and practice, so that children can acquire the knowledge they need through personal experience and sensory feelings. Rousseau advocates the use of physical teaching and intuitive teaching methods and opposes abstract book learning. This is also of great reference significance to the current primary and secondary education system. In addition, his "child-centered" education based on children's personal hobbies and interests fully embodies students' dominant position in education.
I think in our usual education, we don't pay enough attention to students' dominant position, cultivate children's thoughts and sentiments, and don't fully consider students' autonomy and individual differences.
There is a passage in the book that is worth learning: "The problem is not to teach him all kinds of knowledge, but to cultivate his interest in learning. When this interest grows fully, teach him the methods of studying." This period of time just happened that he gradually developed the habit of paying attention to the same thing for a long time. "This reminds us that while imparting knowledge to students, we should pay attention to stimulating students' interest, making them interested in learning, making them love learning and take the initiative to learn.
Personally, I think it is not feasible to simply cultivate natural persons in education and teaching, because education does not develop independently, it depends on the progress of the times and society. Education is the driving force to promote social development. Through education, children are constantly brought into society and finally adapt effectively. The road to education is not a broad road, and there are no specific laws and shortcuts, which need us to explore and summarize step by step.
Emil's Thoughts on Reading Model Essays 4. The school carries out teachers' reading activities, and Emil is the second book I read. In the evenings and weekends, I read this immortal work-Emile. The content of this book is simple and clear, so I can read it easily and enjoy it happily. Summarized the following contents:
Emile is an unusual educational book. The first sentence at the beginning makes people feel that it is a cultural crystallization with profound philosophy and boiling feelings. "Everything that comes from the creator's hand is good, but when it comes to people's hands, it goes bad." Unabashedly expressed his belief that human nature is good, the purpose of education is to cultivate natural people, and the content and methods of education should be reformed to conform to children's nature and let children develop freely physically and mentally.
In this book, Rousseau opposed the feudal education system by educating Emile, the educational object he envisioned, and expounded his bourgeois education thought. Emil is Rousseau's fictional educational object. This book is divided into five chapters. Rousseau put forward the principles, contents and methods of educating children of different ages according to Emile's age. Such as physical education, sensory education, intellectual education, moral education and love education. Although it is unscientific to teach by stages and separate morality, intelligence and physique, at that time, such educational thought was undoubtedly progressive. Rousseau's nature education is to follow the eternal laws of nature and let people develop freely physically and mentally. He believes that the means of this kind of education is life and practice, so that children can obtain the knowledge they need from their personal experience of life and practice and through sensory feelings. He advocates the use of physical teaching and intuitive teaching methods, and opposes abstract book learning. This kind of natural education is eager for "personality liberation", which also has certain educational significance for today's educators, so that children can gain knowledge from personal activities. Bing Xin once said: Let children grow naturally like wild flowers. Cai Zhizhong once said: Let the child be himself happily. Caring for the sprout of students' personality, so that every child can be himself happily. It may be difficult to do this in reality, but I will always remind myself to hold the compass of education in my hand and work hard in this direction!
When talking about children's early childhood education, the book expresses this meaning. When children reach the corresponding age stage, they will inevitably understand some truth. At this time, education can be carried out. Children can't study until they are 12 years old, so that they can get better educational results. What the author means is that children learn after they have a real understanding ability, believing that they can get better learning results, but the effect they get when they are young is actually zero, and they may get the opposite learning effect from educators. I deeply agree with this view. Children have no concept of politics or similar things when they are young. At this time, it is difficult for them to understand the knowledge related to learning, and the results obtained are actually very poor, or nothing. What role did it play to instill an idea in them from an early age? Is it possible to achieve the opposite effect as stated in the book? I don't know about this, but I think our teaching process should carry out the education idea that students should be educated according to their age characteristics, so as to obtain the best teaching effect.
Although Rousseau's natural education is very different from our present education objectively, such as the number of children, the selectivity of educational objects, the educational environment and so on. However, there are still many educational methods. The author wrote in the book: Young teacher, although the method I taught you is difficult to implement, it is the only way to cultivate children. If you are not good at teaching children to be lively, it will be difficult for you to cultivate their intelligence. Don't object to the child's point of view. You know, the stricter you discipline your children, the more naughty they are, the more restrained they are in front of you, and the more fierce they are behind your back. Seeing these words inspired me a lot.
I benefited a lot from reading this book. It has played a good guiding role in teaching. I want to read more books on this subject and improve myself.
