How to Innovate Teaching Methods

The teaching method is to serve the purpose of teaching. The old teaching methods, "too much emphasis on teaching", "separation of teaching" and other subjectivist ills. This subjectivism is characterized by the teaching process is evolved into a simple process of telling and being told. Teachers only know how to do their own teaching, regardless of whether the students can accept it or not, and only know how to repeatedly instill and reinforce the work. People are also accustomed to what teachers do called "teaching", the teacher's method of teaching called "professorial method", it seems that the instructor is specialized in teaching book knowledge, in addition to nothing else can be taught. The detachment of teaching has seriously affected the effectiveness of teaching. Students also seemed to have nothing else to learn in the school except to be taught, so there was a situation in which "Mr. Teachers only taught, and the students were only taught, as if the matter of learning had been eliminated by the matter of teaching. In name only, it is actually a school, but in speech it is like a teaching school". He pointed out sharply that this is the separation of teaching and learning, and called for "teaching and learning two, really can not be separated, really should be united", the separation of the two is contrary to the law of teaching, and its shortcomings ultimately manifested itself as "a Mr. gained very little, and the second students too much suffering! ". Tao Xingzhi pointed out that teaching methods must be revolutionized, with new teaching methods to replace the old teaching methods. He said, "Since I returned to China, I have seen the situation in the domestic schools where the teachers only care about teaching and the students only care about being taught, so I think there is a need for reform". At the same time, he pointed out that China should be the same as Europe and the United States, to abolish the injection type, the duck type of teaching method, instead of "teaching and doing" method. Tao Hsing-chi clearly clarified the meaning of the "teaching-doing" method, and pointed out that the method of teaching should be based on the method of learning when he wrote the article "Teaching-doing". Later, he further elaborated that "how to do things is how to learn, how to learn is how to teach; the method of teaching should be based on the method of learning, and the method of learning should be based on the method of doing". Tao introduced the "do" link in the teaching process, that "do" is the first, emphasizing that teaching and learning is one thing, not three things, the reason why teaching and learning can be united is unified in the "do". The reason why teaching and learning can be unified is that they are unified on "doing", only "teaching on doing is Mr.; learning on doing is the student." "Mr. take to do to teach, is the real teaching; students take to do to learn, is the real learning", otherwise, "teaching solid not teaching, learning is not learning". Heuristic teaching cultivates students' automatic spirit and opposes the teaching method of indoctrination. It clearly respects the initiative of students in learning and combines the teacher's teaching with students' learning. He clearly pointed out that "the education of living talents is not to inculcate knowledge, but to teach students the key to develop the treasure house of culture as much as we know", and that teachers should go one step further on Confucius's "no indignation, no enlightenment, no wanting, no sending out" to make students Teachers should go further than Confucius' "not indignant, not sentimental", so that students "have to be indignant, have to be sentimental". Mr. Tao asked that special attention be paid to the cultivation of self-motivation in all work, study and life. Traditional education with the examination to determine whether the students graduated, the examination has become the only standard of measurement of students' academic performance, this education system not only kills the students' vitality, bound the young people's thinking, and make the school into the examination preparation, the school must teach the class is to be examined, will not be examined in the class "do not have to teach; or even to the must not be taught", the music class, drawing and painting class in the school, the class is to be examined, the class "do not have to teach; even to the must not teach". The activities inside and outside the classroom, such as music class, drawing class, gymnastic class, family affairs class, etc., were all canceled. Tao Hsing-chi pointedly revealed that this system was "imperial examination in disguise" and "massively annihilated the vitality of the nation". Because, the school "taught only the book, only the book of the test, only the guide to the test, education is equal to reading, reading is equal to catch the test", "three tests in a row to catch down, is the meat will be driven away, the color of the blood driven away, and even some of them are driven away from the life, this is really killing the test, with the test in the killing! ". For this reason, he called out to stop this destruction of life vitality of the simple text of the examination, the students should be used in a new way of evaluation. Tao Xingzhi advocates to be conducive to the overall development of students' moral, intellectual and physical aspects as the starting point, the establishment and launch can cultivate the life force of the creation of the "test into", and clarified that the "test into" to the substance of life as the content, can not be like the examination that He also stated that the "examination" should be based on the substance of life, not on the "empty talk on paper" as in the case of the examination, but should focus on the students' physical fitness, the degree of using their hands and brains together, and the degree of transforming the material and social environment. Tao Xingzhi is convinced that this focus on real life, emphasize the cultivation of human practice, creativity, "test into", compared to the examination system triggered by the "dead books, read dead books, read dead", will achieve better results. Innovation is the soul of Tao Xingzhi education thought. In the context of the first signs of the knowledge economy, summarize and draw on his successful educational theory and development of China's education, deepen the reform of the education system, promote quality education, the implementation of science and education strategy, has a theoretical and practical significance that can not be underestimated.
