First of all, it is not easy.
If it is not easy, it means not changing, that is, respecting the basic laws and fundamental problems that transcend time and space and will not be outdated. For those reasonable components that are completely practical in education and teaching, we should not toss about them, and we should not change them easily, indiscriminately and for the sake of change. In education, such as the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and the principle of gradual progress, no matter what new educational ideas are, we must follow these basic principles.
Second, change.
Change means keeping pace with the times, keeping pace with the times, and carrying out reasonable reforms in keeping with the rhythm of the times. In education, with the passage of time, some of our ideas will not keep up with the times. We should not be conservative, complacent and superstitious about authority, but should critically retain reasonable elements according to practice, and boldly reform and innovate those who have fallen behind the times.
Third, simplicity.
Simplicity is to simplify complex problems and summarize the most important core problems into one sentence or several words, which is convenient for memory and popular operation of front-line teachers. Now we have some educational ideas, which complicate a very simple problem, attach many complicated and incomprehensible concepts to it, and finally take it to the front line to practice. It is very troublesome for front-line teachers to understand and operate, let alone have any good results.
On the contrary, those successful educational ideas that have been tested by long-term practice are very simple. For example, the "four-time eight-step reading method" summarized by teacher Wei Shusheng when instructing students to read can be summarized in one sentence. To sum up, his educational thought is a core, two principles, three unification, four relations and five pillars. How simple and easy. For example, Yu Yingchao's teaching thought is "plate teaching": it can be summarized in one sentence, simple and clear, and easy to understand and operate.
In a word, the enlightenment of the "three changes" principle of the Book of Changes to education is: first, it is not easy: we should respect and follow the fine traditions in education, and don't take it for granted to change them; Second, change: keep up with the pace of the times and change those unreasonable and outdated educational concepts at any time; Thirdly, simplicity: simplify the complicated educational problems and make the front-line educators simple, easy to operate and effective.
