Which one is more in line with the laws of education, 30 years ago and today's education? On this issue, I suddenly realized that perhaps the set of school education we once received really followed the laws of education.
1. Review education 30 years ago
Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world"This old saying delicately describes the long educational journey we have experienced. Thirty years ago, we were still childish children, carrying our schoolbags, facing the first rays of sunshine in the morning, stepping into the classroom, and starting the road of life.
At that time, the core of education was solid basic knowledge. We are immersed in the breadth and profundity of the language, feeling the rhythm and poetry of Chinese characters; In the world of mathematics, we learn logic and reasoning; The wonderful pronunciation and grammar of the English language opened the door to the world; Physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects lead us to explore the mysteries of nature and the true meaning of science. Every discipline is like a treasure, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
In the process of learning, we have not only accumulated a wealth of knowledge, but also achieved comprehensive development in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor. Under the influence of moral cultivation, we learn how to become a virtuous person; The development of the intellect equips us with the ability to solve problems; Physical education strengthens our bodies; The aesthetic education of art enhances our aesthetics; The practice of labor cultivates our diligence and independence.
Looking back now, although that time was hard, it was also the most precious treasure in our lives. It not only shapes our knowledge system, but also affects our way of thinking and attitude towards life. Today, we are no longer the schoolchildren who carry our school bags, but that educational experience is still the best memory in our hearts, inspiring us to keep moving forward and pursue higher goals.
2. Compare the current situation of education
Today's education, although it has achieved remarkable results, seems to me to focus too much on the pursuit of grades and ignore the essence of education. In today's education, from primary school to university, heroes are judged by their grades, students are struggling in the sea of questions, and teachers are anxious in the rankings. Is such an educational environment really in line with the laws of education?
My friend, Xiao Li, is a primary school teacher. She told me that in today's primary education, students are full of classes from morning to night, and extracurricular activities are compressed, and students have little time to play outside. In contrast, in primary education 30 years ago, students studied in the classroom, played after class, and combined work and rest, and the educational effect was better.
3. Return to the original intention of education
Education is not just about filling a bucket of water, but about lighting a fire. "This fire burns the passion and desire in the hearts of students, leading them to explore the ocean of knowledge and open up uncharted territory. As the Irish poet Yeats said, education is a kind of stimulation, a kind of guidance, not a mere indoctrination.
I recall the educational environment 30 years ago, when education was more focused on cultivating students' interests and hobbies. Teachers patiently guide students to discover their passions and encourage them to pursue their dreams bravely. In this educational model, students have a vision for the future, and they are energetic to explore the world and absorb knowledge.
However, time has passed, and the winds of education seem to have shifted. Today's education is too performance-oriented, causing students to gradually lose their enthusiasm for learning under the pressure of competition. As if trapped in a heavy workload, they gradually forget their inner dreams and pursuits. In this era of grades, many students study hard in pursuit of high grades, but ignore the true meaning of learning.
The essence of education should not be to suppress the nature of students, but to ignite the fire within them. This flame burns with curiosity, a desire to explore, and creativity to keep them on the path of knowledge. Therefore, we should re-examine the direction of education, pay attention to the intrinsic motivation of students, and guide them to regain their enthusiasm for learning.
Conclusion:
The school education I received 30 years ago seems to be more in line with the laws of education. At that time, we found joy in learning and grew in learning. Today's education, although the results are dazzling, seems to have lost the original intention of education. Perhaps, we should reflect on how to return education to its essence so that every child can grow up in a pleasant learning atmosphere.
