Preface to natural education

A little girl stepped on the little boy lying on the ground, and the little boy cried. The teacher helped the boy up and criticized the little girl. The little girl was very sad. When asked why she stepped on the little boy, the little girl's answer was distressing: I didn't mean to. I saw him fall and tried to help him, but he didn't get up. I accidentally stepped on him. Why should I say' I'm sorry'? Tears were still shining in the child's bright eyes.

We adults often do this, ignoring children's true feelings, caring behavior evaluation is very superficial, and we like to educate children in a self-righteous way.

Therefore, we always take care of the children everywhere: chasing the children to feed them; Wash underwear and socks for children; Rent a house to accompany you; Give children clothes, keep them within reach, and make ends meet. ...

We take care of our children in every possible way, taking care of them carefully, holding them in our hands for fear of falling, holding them in our mouths for fear of melting, and keeping them at home for fear of losing them ... However, one day we found that children are more and more like pets, losing the ability to solve problems independently, and even less knowing what is self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement. ...

Love is very important, but love is not everything. Gorky said: Love children, even old hens will love their chicks. If you just give your children too much love, you will confuse the difference between people and animals.

In September, 2005, the State Sports General Administration issued the second bulletin of national physique monitoring: the overall level of national physique in China has improved slightly, but the level of national physique and physical function has obviously declined-the physique of Chinese teenagers has declined for 20 consecutive years; Among the office workers in China, 70% are in sub-health, and many young people are not as good as the elderly.

At the same time, the mental health of teenagers in China is not optimistic. A survey of children aged 6 ~ 12 in 22 provinces and cities in China shows that the detection rate of children's behavior problems is 13.2%. In 2000, the research group of Beijing Normal University conducted a sampling survey of 16472 primary and secondary school students (including 5952 children) in five different areas of Beijing, Henan, Chongqing, Zhejiang and Xinjiang. The survey results show that the proportion of children with abnormal psychological problems is 16.4%, and the proportion with serious psychological and behavioral problems is 4.2%.

Today, when China defined the grand blueprint for development as achieving a moderately developed country by 2050, almost everyone thought it was reasonable, and no one even questioned it. However, has anyone ever wondered who will undertake such a difficult task?

That's right, the children who are in kindergarten now! A few years later, when these children grow up, they will be the backbone of society and the builders of the country.

However, it is full of knowledge to look at the primary and secondary school students who lost their happy childhood and the college students who lost their jobs as soon as they graduated. Is there anyone who can safely put the future of China in their hands?

This generation of children is lucky and unfortunate. Unfortunately, under the self-righteous pet education mode of parents, the future of children is in jeopardy.

Children are not a blank sheet of paper, and educators can't be self-righteous and arbitrarily smear the most beautiful pictures they think; A child is not a teacher's pocket. You can put whatever you want in your pocket. Children are not pets, just love.

Because we are raising children, not pets! Today, if you ask students in China: Who is your idol? Most people will answer: Bill? Gates. However, they only know Bill? Gates' history of getting rich quickly, but little is known about his lofty sense of responsibility.

In this materialistic social tide, the only goal of parents and students is to get a diploma and find a job that can earn more money. This has basically become a fashion, even a dream. And moral quality, civilized accomplishment ... have all been left behind.

Is this the purpose of education?

What is education? What is quality education? What is family education? What is the purpose of education? Educate for who? ……

In recent years, the discussion on education has become one of the hot topics in society. However, the longer we think about the fundamental problem of education, the farther away we seem to be from the essence of education.

Ten years ago, we began to talk about exam-oriented education and quality education, but today, parents and students seem to be busier, more stressed and complain more. Studying abroad, going to Tsinghua of Peking University, earning money to be an official, and art remedial classes are even more popular.

We should go back to the origin of education-what is the fundamental purpose of education? On September 4th, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao said during the educational inspection of No.35 Middle School in Beijing that the fundamental task of education is to cultivate talents, especially to cultivate high-quality talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty. From the comparison at home and abroad, the students trained in China often have a good grasp of book knowledge, but their practical ability and innovative spirit are still relatively lacking. This should arouse our deep thinking, that is to say, for a long time in the past, we paid more attention to cognitive education and exam-oriented teaching methods, while relatively ignoring the cultivation of students' independent thinking and creativity. It should be said that we have already seen these problems and have been emphasizing quality education. But why is the effect not obvious enough? In my opinion, to cultivate all-round talents, we must establish advanced educational concepts, dare to break through the shackles of traditional concepts, and make bold explorations and reforms in school-running system, teaching content, educational methods and evaluation methods. ...

Premier Wen's words clearly reflect the problems existing in education: the talents trained by education can no longer meet the needs of China's rapid social and economic development and talent development.

So, how to cultivate outstanding talents? How to grasp preschool education?

Many people are against early education, thinking that early education will bind children to study prematurely and increase their burden. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of early education. Simply understand early education as teaching, turn early education into early indoctrination, and let children become the carrier of pure knowledge.

In fact, early education is not simple teaching, but cultivating children's good morality, conduct, habits and self-care ability ... that is, the viability of natural education.

Therefore, the growth of children's viability is the core of early childhood education, and its fundamental purpose is to teach children to win their lifetime viability.

However, most of our parents simply can't understand these problems. They are often more concerned about what the teacher has done, how the teacher's education is, whether the teacher is persuasive in the teaching process, and whether the children eat and drink well ... but few parents really care about the growth and development of their children.

Just like a mother I met in education, seeing her children teach themselves English in front of the tape recorder, our teacher didn't interfere too much, so she asked: My children are teaching themselves, but your teacher didn't do anything. ...

I want to ask, is it better for us to instill word by word, or is it better for children to cultivate their own self-learning ability? In the traditional educational orientation, the busier the mother is, the more active she is, and the harder the teacher is, the more caring she is, which means that parents and teachers are more responsible and professional. But the result is the opposite-the child has completely lost the ability to live independently! Therefore, no matter what kind of education, the ultimate goal of our education is the growth of children.

Of course, when we talk about children's growth, we don't just mean the growth of knowledge and skills ... but the ability including morality, communication with people, good health and self-care, that is, the growth of viability.

I believe that if we take the improvement of children's quality and the growth of survival ability as the guide and take this as the core of measurement, our educational effect will be more ideal. In recent years, the voice of reducing the burden is endless. The reason is to promote the implementation of quality education by reducing the burden, so as to promote the all-round development of children's morality, intelligence, physique and aesthetics and their healthy physical and mental growth. However, can children really reduce their burdens? Can reducing the burden really promote the implementation of quality education? Judging from the current situation, it seems that it will not happen in the foreseeable future!

Because the key to the problem is not that the child's studies are too heavy, but that the child's self-study ability is too poor, and everything is given by others. Lack of concentration in class; What the teacher said can't be absorbed effectively ... these are all problems caused by poor learning ability.

This is our present education. More and more deviated from the right track, and even went to the hospital when he was sick. We only know that children seem to be working too hard now, the battle to go to school is getting more and more fierce, and the employment prospects are getting less and less optimistic ... but we don't know where the root of the problem lies.

Looking back, the training class market is surging, and we let our children learn public English, Olympic Mathematics and attend various training classes. Don't we really know that this is wrong? I believe many education experts and parents know that otherwise quality education would not have been mentioned for so many years.

So, why do we still knowingly commit crimes? Because parents are confused and have too many educational ideas, they don't know how to educate and what to learn. Go to the Olympics? Learn English? ..... parents are confused and don't know what to do.

In fact, in this process, if parents can grasp a clear main line and goal, education will be very simple.

First of all, parents should know what kind of person they want their children to be in the future, what is the purpose of educating their children, and why they should go to school ... In fact, the ultimate goal of education is to let their children gain high-quality social viability, not to let them get 100 points.

Secondly, no matter what kind of education, parents should measure whether it will help their children's future viability, that is, the growth of their abilities. However, our current education is entirely based on the growth of children's knowledge-the better the children's grades, the stronger their ability. But it didn't turn out that way.

There is such a report:1In June, 1979, the Sino-American education exchange delegation quickly summarized the current situation of basic education in the two countries after inspecting the school education in the two countries-American students have a shallow basic knowledge, attend classes freely and talk about it all day; On the other hand, students in China not only have solid basic knowledge, but also listen carefully in class. Their diligence in burning the midnight oil is particularly commendable. Therefore, we finally come to the conclusion that American education is terminally ill, and it is foreseeable that China will definitely lag behind the United States in science, technology and culture in another 20 years.

However, 20 years later, we have not surpassed the United States in technology and culture. During this period, the United States has trained more than 40 Nobel Prize winners, while China is zero. Of course, the Nobel Prize is not everything, but its contribution and influence in world culture, economy, science and technology are universally recognized.

Although China's influence on culture exists, in terms of natural science, why doesn't China, which accounts for nearly14 of the global population, have enough scientific giants to influence the world?

Incomplete ability means that you can't have both quality and knowledge!

Most of our current education is the growth of knowledge, but the growth of knowledge does not necessarily bring about the growth of ability. In conventional education, we say that IQ is very high and we have reached the ability to enter universities, but this ability is often incomplete. A few years ago, I often heard that teenagers were admitted to universities, but later these children disappeared. A child of 1 1 was admitted to Tianjin University, but was rejected. Because she can't take care of herself, her mother has to study with her.

Learning is an ability. When the ability is reached, there will be no problem in learning. Practice has proved that knowledge is the result of ability, and both quality and knowledge can be obtained.

The children of the first literacy team of nature education trained by the author aim to go directly to the second grade of primary school. When the literacy team trained for one year, it finished learning Chinese, mathematics and English in the first grade of primary school in four months. The teacher only teaches them the first lesson, and the rest of the courses are completed by the children themselves (if they don't, they will consult the teacher). Because there is only one year of literacy training, if they study for another year or two, I believe they will learn faster and faster. It only takes two or three years to complete all the six-year primary school courses.

Learning is not the biggest problem, but ability is the most important. The growth of ability will bring the growth of knowledge. When a child has a complete ability, that is, the ability to communicate with others, good health, self-care and good moral character, then he will enter the university at the age of 10 or 15 without any obstacles. If parents set this goal, they will know how to do it.

Therefore, no matter what newspapers, TV media, your neighbors and competitors say, do, publicize and hold, as long as you grasp the main line and goal of education, you can give your children the best education. Expounding the above three points, what does nature education bring to children?

Nature education is the education of true love, faith and truth, and the education of releasing children's primitive nature. True love is to love the child itself, the present and future of the child, not the evaluation or comment of others on you or your child; True faith is to believe that children's ability to grow is innate. Don't be superstitious about having caused or changed children's education. Therefore, the only two things that are correct in believing in a good education are: first, opening the floodgates for children's ability growth; Second, let them naturally run to the right river to sing; Truth is to let children participate in the real life of family and society. As long as they have true love and faith, they can get a balanced family life. Any joys and sorrows in family life can be shared with children.

Nature education shows that if we don't know how to educate children, the best way is to let them play freely in the scenes that may be involved in the future and bear limited responsibilities. The principle of natural education also shows that restricting children's natural movements will have an impact on the progress of education and the development of children's nature. Unnatural constraints are usually disastrous, and the younger you are, the more serious the consequences are. The uncertainty principle, biological genetic dynamic feedback clustering principle and trial-and-error principle reveal the bankruptcy of our precision education, and we can only achieve our goals to a certain extent. It also reflects the limitations and incompleteness of our general cognition. Therefore, giving up the incompleteness of human beings and entrusting the completeness of natural talents are the characteristics of natural education and the application of natural education principles.

Natural education and teaching can learn these principles step by step and develop their own skills with the help of quiet observation, practical measurement technology and fully open personal exploration instinct, and so can students themselves. For students' education, we can achieve the results of autonomous learning, self-verification and self-growth through three supporting points: measurement technology, credit design and curriculum design. Learn naturally, just like water and wind. With mountains, terrain and light, you will have your own natural reaction.

Yuan's disease-free nature education is the expression of biological genetic dynamic feedback cluster in human activities and its application in the field of education. Because this application has special value in early childhood, we focus on kindergartens. Although the principle of natural education is very complicated, the operation principle is simple and the effect is good.

After five years of empirical development, nature education has made a series of educational achievements in the field of preschool education:

1. Attention span is greater than 120 minutes;

2. Memory width and multi-task ability are generally improved;

3. Realize self-management, self-learning and self-driving;

4. The typical performance of organization, command and coordination ability is to be able to command the team to complete the task and actively report for instructions;

5. Sports ability and endurance generally reach the level that ordinary children of the same age can't reach;

6. The health condition has been greatly improved;

7. Basic self-care in daily life;

8. The progress of social communication ability is manifested in being educated and polite, and being able to find and describe the bright spots in others;

9. The typical performance of self-confidence is that children can express themselves freely on any occasion;

10. Anti-frustration ability shows that children can apologize to each other and ask for forgiveness after making mistakes;

1 1. The typical performance of talent is that children can create their own actions according to the content of the article, write and direct themselves, and complete the creative process of the program;

12. The typical performance of high-quality citizens who know manners and etiquette is to find bad behaviors and take the initiative to stop them;

13. The typical performance of filial piety and gratitude is that children feed their parents back;

……

Nature education is an objective, empirical, research-based, data-based, macroscopic (biological evolution history and individual evolution history) and effective education system (its theoretical direction and practice are based on the effective boundary with actual effect and fluctuation), but at the same time it is an education system full of love, responsibility, high compliance and high absorption, especially it is self-consistent (without contradiction and assumption).

Therefore, what nature education brings to children is a kind of talent education, a kind of love education, an education to cultivate people themselves, and an education to develop individuals naturally by using natural instinct. It integrates children's personality, conduct, habits, physical health, self-help, self-care, natural expression, attention, memory width, self-learning, self-drive, self-proliferation ability, filial piety, gratitude, good social interaction, and the ability to express in front of others, and keeps pace with each other.

Early planning that should not be missed

Chapter 65438 +0

The mistakes of others are not the reason for your mistakes-the core of education is the growth of children.

Touching the heart: If I told you that a group of five or six-year-old children can organize their own teacher training, take their own photos, edit their own videos and upload them to the Internet, and organize a half-day teaching activity, what would you think of these children?

A. Genius

B. genius

C. exaggeration

D. excellent

The answer of nature education is: they are just ordinary children.

Traditional education believes that children should be taught naked truth or truth at any time. If children realize that they have received the wrong education, education will fail. Nature education says that in the early life of children, it is most necessary to implement correct, good and true talent release education. Don't let children lose their lives before entering the society. Only by letting children become masters of their own lives can they win at the starting point and in the future.

Other people's mistakes are not the reason for your mistakes.

Early planning that should not be missed

The important thing is not to acquire knowledge, but to acquire wisdom; What matters is not self-realization, but freedom from fear and peace; What matters is not a busy life, but a rich life.

-Nature education

The secret of education

There used to be a real joke: students from two famous universities saw the big? When Finch wrote Mona Lisa's smile, a college student asked: Who painted this? I seem to have seen it somewhere. Another college student proudly said, I don't know? Picasso's!

However, how much can we learn from it after laughing? In the face of many talented college students, the president of a university in the west said frankly and truly that being able to support himself is the greatest contribution to society.

Most parents educate their children only to find a better job and earn more money in the future. Therefore, all kinds of practical and utilitarian education are far more popular with students and parents than humanistic education. At the same time, education no longer attaches importance to students' spiritual enlightenment and spiritual edification, and no longer attaches importance to students' broad mind and lofty aspirations. Instead, it makes students more impetuous, superficial and selfish. ...

In fact, it is an indisputable fact that the current universal education methods cannot cultivate masters, innovative talents and industry leaders, and even the most basic humanistic spirit and ethical standards are lacking.

However, according to the principle of natural education, no one can hurt you without your permission. Or in other words-other people's mistakes are not the reason for your mistakes. No matter how others make mistakes, you don't have to be a victim of others' mistakes!

So, what should parents do?

The answer to nature education is to give children real power!

How to cultivate children's real strength? The explanation of nature education is a very simple 16-character policy-direct attack on the target, simple repetition, measurement feedback and continuous improvement.

Hit the target directly. First of all, we must be clear about our goals. Natural education gives a regular examination method. Have parents missed their children's early clear goal planning-what kind of person and state do you want to cultivate their children? What is your goal, and what is your child's state that makes him truly capable?

Some parents may say: strength is the ability to adapt to society. I hope the children will be better in society. The basic requirement is good health or better performance. Most parents have expectations for their children, hoping that their children will be strong, surpass themselves or excel in society in the future, but what is lacking now is often an early and clear goal planning process.

We once had a child's mother here, which was very typical. Pick up the children a month later and see that other children do math problems better than their own children. Ask our teacher at once: why is my child not as fast as other children in doing math problems? And there is more and more demand in the future.

Parents send their children to kindergarten, and we will communicate with them: What is your goal of sending your children to kindergarten?

Some parents said: Just be happy!

Some parents said: if you eat well, you will be safe.

However, when holding parent-teacher conferences or communicating with parents privately, we often tell parents that you will know what you are buying when you take money to go shopping in the mall. For example, you can know the difference between a 5000 yuan mobile phone and a 2000 yuan mobile phone. But when I sent my children to kindergarten today, do you know what I got? Do you know the difference between a kindergarten with a monthly fee of 5,000 yuan and a kindergarten with a monthly fee of 2,000 yuan? Do you know the value of children?

Parents don't engage in education. Most of the information and concepts often come from ourselves, people and things around us, the internet, books, lectures and so on. But these initial things are particularly easy to influence and eventually become their own judgment basis. Therefore, in the face of all kinds of education, parents often can't keep a clear head, and sometimes blindly imitate according to an expert and scholar's speech or a successful case. Any expert and scholar has its limitations-others can be so successful, but it may not be suitable for you.

So, how can we train our children to be powerful people in the future?

As a rule, people may not like or even agree with our practice-a teacher can organize activities for a dozen or more children, and it is very easy because the children do it themselves. Therefore, regular educators will think that our teacher is very quiet, neither kind nor gentle, and the teacher is very relaxed. Parents or teachers in other schools will generally say: the interaction between your children and teachers seems to be not very good.

In general, they tend to see whether the teacher takes the initiative. If the teacher is like an actor performing on the stage, and his acting skills are excellent, they will say: This teacher is good, and his performance is really good. However, no one has asked whether the value children get can improve their strength.

In fact, the course of nature education seems simple. The teacher can sit and stand with a stopwatch, or walk around without saying a word, but the children are operating by themselves. After they finished, they reported to the teacher, and the teacher said, OK, 8 minutes and 05 seconds, check it yourself. Then the child's inspection is completed: report, inspection is completed. The teacher said: ok, exchange exams. However, in this seemingly simple process, children have gained their own value and increased their self-learning ability.

We often let the children give lectures and study by themselves, and the teacher does not appear. At first, many parents were suspicious and even dissatisfied: What does your teacher do? How to let children attend classes by themselves?

Only when we tell parents the value that children can get by organizing themselves and going to class by themselves can parents understand and appreciate it. Because according to the conventional education, they only pay attention to what the teacher has done, but how much the children's ability has improved can be ignored.

Nature education tells you that the important thing is not to acquire knowledge, but to acquire wisdom; What matters is not self-realization, but freedom from fear and peace; What matters is not a busy life, but a rich life.

However, nowadays, parents seem willing to spend money and effort on their children and make their children's lives full of all kinds of learning-training everywhere and asking for advice everywhere. In fact, this is not holding a telescope to plan the future for children, but holding a focusing lens to force children to follow suit and make them suffer.

So, first of all, we should fully respect the authority of nature (we are children of nature, and we will return to nature), find out the expression she shows us, and figure out how to use these tools within the limits she gives us.

Secondly, we never try to construct a theory. We just need to discover and understand how to use the tools that nature shows us, and use them properly, and carefully explore the boundaries she has drawn for us. This is not only simple, but also very practical.

Because nature is equal to all students and parents, but the gifts for everyone are different. The key is to see who has the will. Every time we accept a child, we should look at his file and growth background in detail, so as to find a way that may be more suitable for his development. Although not every child who has received nature education can stand out, the schools they attend are often the best (all rose classes of nature education were admitted to Beijing key primary schools in 2008).

It can be seen that only when the correct goals are established can there be correct early planning and the children's talents can be released normally. When the ability rises, it includes three self-learning abilities and three self-learning abilities: self-learning, self-driving and self-proliferation. Three realms and effects of self-study ability. After the rise, their achievements are only incidental results. They can be outstanding in personality, conduct, habits and various abilities, be humble and polite, and be good at cooperation. No primary school rejects such children.

Some people say that going to key primary schools requires connections and money. Even so, if the child is incompetent, its reputation and achievements will not last long, and it also needs excellent children, which will become an important foundation to support the quality of school graduates! And when our children become these important cornerstones, you don't have to care about how much sponsorship money others pay and how many relationships they take.

Now, it can be said that every child is deprived of personal freedom from the moment of birth, and unimaginable learning pressure is imposed from the first babble. They can't plan themselves and choose their own future.

Therefore, our teachers and parents should understand that real strength determines the real future, and don't kill children's talents in the cradle, as others say. But many teachers or parents of children don't understand these things and don't even want to learn them. Usually, when everything is finished, teachers or parents become experts. It's a pity that the child failed at a critical moment in life. What is the use of such an expert to your family and children?
