我的教育哲學(xué) 什么才是真正的教育？它不是那些僅僅傳授考試技巧的應(yīng)試課堂，而是“一道菜”：一道融入了辛勤的老師，積極的學(xué)生，參與其中的家長的佳肴。 標(biāo)簽： 教育 窗體頂端My philosophy of EducationEducation profoundly affects the lives of many people and provides the foundation for a person to establish a plan for their future. Well-educated people can form decisions that benefit both themselves and the interests of their society. A true education doesnt consist of a group of classes containing a series of facts to be used on a test and then forgotten, but contains a series of tools that students use in their everyday lives. A true education is a main dish which should be served in all schools. This dish includes three main ingredients; a hardworking teacher, a motivated student, and involved parents. Without all three ingredients, this dish is useless.The first ingredient is a hardworking teacher. Teachers are the most important part of constituting a true education, but the problem is they arent teaching students what should be taught. According to James Baldwin, a society only wants people who will “simply obey the rules of society,” or believe that whats being taught is always true, but according to Ralph Waldo Emerson, a genius seeks their truth for themselves. Having teachers not teach students the truth enables our society to raise potential geniuses. A teachers behavior should reflect values such as tolerance, compassion, and open-mindedness. Teachers should not try to persuade students with their personal points of view, but an ideal classroom environment is one that allows students to feel free to express individual beliefs.The next ingredient is a motivated student. All students learn differently; therefore, different strategies are needed to help different students gain knowledge of what is being taught, but students are attending school to have fun instead of learning. Why do you think this is happening? According to Leon Botstein, these students are becoming bored with repeating what theyve learned in their previous years. Botstein argues that students should be attending institutions which are dedicated to an activity which they plan on majoring in which could give them a glimpse of the “real world”. This is a great idea. But will it ever happen? When a student graduates from high school, this shows that they are motivated. This relates to having hard working teachers. The teachers must step in and show these students that learning is important. Mrs. Gruwell, in Freedom Writers, exemplifies a perfect way to keep students involved in education. Although these students never wanted to learn, Mrs. G stepped in and showed them that they must learn in order to be successful.Finally, the finishing ingredient: involved parents. Parents are an important ingredient to the true education dish. Parents who arent involved in their childrens education only impede the efforts made by teachers and students to create a true education. These parents are often uninterested with their childrens education as a whole. When a child attends school, the parent should assist the teacher in teaching their child. While at home, the child should be asked constantly, “How was school? Did you learn anything?” This demonstrates an involved parent.The true education dish should be served in schools daily. All three ingredients must be used in order for it to be successful. Once a school serves the true education dish, each students stomachs will be filled with the ability to have a prosperous future and further their education. 教育對(duì)于許多人的生活有著深刻影響并為人們將來的發(fā)展藍(lán)圖打下基礎(chǔ)。受到良好教育的人所做出的決策不僅能讓自己得到好處還能造福社會(huì)。真正的教育不是那種只包涵一系列應(yīng)試技巧而過后又忘的課堂，真正的教育會(huì)傳授給學(xué)生日常生活的技巧。真正的教育應(yīng)該像主菜一樣提供給每一個(gè)學(xué)校。這個(gè)“主菜”應(yīng)該包括三種主要“原料”：辛勤工作的老師，積極向上的學(xué)生和參與交流的家長。缺少這三種“原料”的教育是毫無意義的。 第一種原料是辛勤工作的老師。老師是構(gòu)成真正教育的最重要的組成部分，但問題是老師教給學(xué)生的并不是他們真正應(yīng)該傳授的東西。根據(jù)James Baldwin的觀點(diǎn)，社會(huì)想要的是那些“單純遵守社會(huì)原則”的或者認(rèn)為他們所學(xué)的東西就是真理的人。但Ralph Waldo Emerson則反駁：天才只會(huì)自己去尋找真理。正因?yàn)槔蠋煕]有教授學(xué)生真理，我們的社會(huì)更需要提升潛在的天才。一個(gè)老師的行為舉止需要折射出他的天資，仁慈和開明的品質(zhì)。老師們不應(yīng)該嘗試著規(guī)勸學(xué)生接受他們自己的觀點(diǎn)而是需要營造出一種氣氛，一種讓所有的學(xué)生都可以自由表達(dá)他們的觀點(diǎn)的氣氛。 第二種原料則是積極向上的學(xué)生。不同的學(xué)生有學(xué)習(xí)方法，對(duì)于不同的學(xué)生需要因材施教。但是現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生到學(xué)校來不是為了學(xué)習(xí)卻是為了玩耍，這種現(xiàn)狀是怎么產(chǎn)生的呢？Leon Botstein認(rèn)為，這是由于學(xué)生們已經(jīng)厭煩重復(fù)學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)教了很多年的老知識(shí)。Botstein辯解說，學(xué)生應(yīng)該到那些致力于學(xué)生主修專業(yè)的學(xué)院里學(xué)習(xí)，在那里他們才能瞥見“真實(shí)的世界”。這是個(gè)很好的想法，但是這可能會(huì)發(fā)生嗎？學(xué)生順利地從高中畢業(yè)能證明他們?cè)?jīng)的努力，同樣能反映老師的辛勤工作。老師們需要介入學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)，并且讓他們認(rèn)識(shí)到學(xué)習(xí)是非常重要的。自由寫作的Gruwell女士成功的找到了使學(xué)生參與學(xué)習(xí)的方法。盡管這些學(xué)生從來沒有自主學(xué)習(xí)的想法，但是Gruwell女士強(qiáng)行介入了他們的學(xué)習(xí)生活并使他們意識(shí)到學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)對(duì)于成功來說至關(guān)重要。 最后，尾料則是家長的參與其中。家長對(duì)于真正的教育是很重要的“原料”。家長不參與子女的教育，只會(huì)成為老師學(xué)生努力創(chuàng)造真正教育的阻礙。這類家長經(jīng)常對(duì)子女的教育漠不關(guān)心。當(dāng)孩子在學(xué)校的時(shí)候，他們需要配合老師的教育。孩子回到家以后，他們需要經(jīng)常詢問子女“學(xué)習(xí)還好吧？”“學(xué)到有用的知識(shí)了嗎？”這樣才能體現(xiàn)家長參與了子女的教育。 這道真正教育的“菜”學(xué)校應(yīng)該每天提供。為保證成功，三道原料需要被依次使用。一旦這道菜被學(xué)校提供，學(xué)生將滿腹經(jīng)綸并擁有用燦爛的未來。My philosophy of EducationEducation profoundly affects the lives of many people and provides the foundation for a person to establish a plan for their future.
