Reflections on a fable and another interpretation

Yue yajun

There is such a fable: A, B, C and D go out for a picnic. A found a wild duck, B immediately shot it down with a gun, C quickly picked it up, and D took the initiative to clean it up and make it delicious. The last four people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Excuse me: if you want to reward the person who has made the greatest contribution, who should you reward? What is the reason?

This is the material for a topic composition. At first, it was a discussion among students, and there were various answers: some thought that A should be rewarded heavily, while others thought that B should be rewarded heavily. As a result, the view of "rewarding Ding" accounts for the vast majority. The reason is that his work is the most dedicated and valuable. If he hadn't pulled the duck down for seasoning, everyone wouldn't be able to eat roast duck!

Later, the teacher told this fable and asked the netizens to answer it. A netizen summed it up very interestingly: "Thanks to A's eyes, thanks to B's hands for shooting accurately, thanks to C's feet for running quickly, and thanks to Ding's intentions-initiative and enthusiasm. If you want to eat this delicious food, it is still B, so B should be rewarded! " Some netizens think so: "I choose A! A is the discoverer, and the discoverer should be respected most! " There is also a view that "discovery is the foundation, killing is the key, picking up is the necessary supplement, and cooking is the ultimate goal." Who do you think contributed the most? ""They are a team, and the ultimate goal is to eat game. They have the same goal, so external motivation is secondary. In such a team, division of labor and cooperation is their way of working. " ……

The teacher's teaching default answer is: A will be rewarded. Since its inception, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to people who have made great breakthroughs or gained the greatest benefits of human society because of the discovery or invention of …. Even the words "discovery or invention" are written in Nobel's will.

I talked about this story with a new teacher in Changzhou today. A new teacher stayed to talk to me in private. He said he insisted on rewarding wild ducks. He said that the wild duck is like a student, A, B, C and D are like our teachers, and the students represented by the wild duck were killed because of our teacher's educational mistakes. Rewarding a wild duck is rewarding a student. Rewarding him for soaring is tantamount to denying our education.

Compared with other answers, the young teacher is biased from the perspective of examination, because the key word of the question must point to one of the four people. However, when we analyze from the perspective of multiple thinking, young teachers provide us with a brand-new perspective of thinking, no problem. In a sense, there may be some truth: because the deviation of our educational goals will inevitably lead to the appropriateness of educational means and methods, and it will inevitably lead to such a result: the more artistic and inappropriate methods are, the greater the harm they cause.

The law of cognition tells us that without enough sensibility, its rational power will not be strong enough, and the depth and breadth of rational thinking must be based on rich and profound perceptual knowledge. Although the young people I communicate with lack the necessary perceptual knowledge of the reality of education, and their questions are only based on the experience and feelings gained from books, young people have a unique ability to discover, which is also required by this topic.

General discovery is not difficult, just a kind of wisdom discovery. The discovery of wisdom is always whimsical or unconventional. When will our education realize this and put it into practice?
