Quality education is the foundation project for improving the quality of the nation. It is the fundamental purpose and ultimate task of basic education. It is education for the future and the mainstream of education reform in the world today. It is imperative to implement quality education.
Fully developing students’ personality is one of the important differences between quality education and “examination-oriented education”.
How to promote the personality development of students through the implementation of quality education is an important issue facing the current education reform of primary and secondary schools.
The following is a brief discussion from three aspects:
1. Historical reflection on students’ personality development
Traditional education in Chinese history is basically “ Exam-oriented education”.
Looking at the history of education in ancient and modern China, we can see that the imperial examination system and the eight-part essay have distorted the souls of many intellectuals and buried their talents.
Wu Jingzi's "The Scholars" vividly depicts the pedantic and dull group image of a generation of intellectuals. Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji" reflects the intellectuals' cry of sorrow for the old education. Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty issued The call for “recruiting talents in an eclectic way” has been raised.
History tells: Ideology directly affects educational ideas, and backward education models restrict the cultivation of talents.
With the pace of history, we have entered a new era.
Due to the rapid development of productivity and science and technology, as well as the unprecedented increase in socialization, industrialization, and informatization, society's demand for talents has become multi-level, multi-category, and multi-standard.
In this social context, "examination-oriented education" is increasingly incompatible with the needs of social development and human development.
Where is China’s education heading? Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward the strategic thought of "education should be oriented to modernization, the world, and the future" at the right time.
In order to adapt to this idea, it is necessary to realize the fundamental transformation from "examination-oriented education" to quality-oriented education, realize the true liberation of human personality development, and lay the foundation for improving the quality of the nation.
2. Correctly handle the relationship between quality education and students’ personality development
Quality education is for all students and comprehensively improves students’ ideological and moral, cultural and scientific, labor skills and physical and psychological qualities. , education that promotes students' lively development.
The overall nature of educational objects and the comprehensiveness of educational content are its two basic characteristics.
Comprehensive development is the basis of personality development and is the first priority.
Emphasizing all-round development does not exclude personality development. Personality development is a higher-level leap based on all-round development.
This is because students are developing people and students can only develop through individual experience.
Any education cannot effectively exert its functions without the development of students' personality. Quality education pays more attention to the improvement of students' individual quality. It is in line with the objective laws of dialectical materialism and personality. .
Therefore, quality education is an effective way to promote the development of students' personality. This new education model enables students to completely liberate their personality and give full play to their personal talents and endowments.
Quality education follows the objective laws of students’ physical and mental development. Promoting students’ personality development is an inevitable requirement for quality education.
Educational theory tells: The physical and mental development of children and adolescents has a certain sequence, stage, variability, difference and imbalance. Due to the influence of innate genetic factors and acquired environmental education, Children and teenagers of the same age show personality characteristics in terms of brain and physical strength, intellectual factors and non-intellectual factors.
This requires the majority of educators to not only pay attention to the unique characteristics of student development, but also pay full attention to the individual differences of each student, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, be targeted, and give full play to everyone's potential and enthusiasm. Factors, make up for shortcomings and deficiencies, "rescue the lost through good deeds", and choose the most effective educational approach so that students with various personality differences can develop to the maximum extent possible.
3. Practical ways of promoting students’ personality development through quality education
1. Deepen teaching reform and strengthen students’ dominant position.
Classroom teaching is the main position for implementing quality education and the main channel for developing students' personality.
Educators must change their educational thinking, break away from the shackles of "examination-oriented education", and have the courage to break through the old models of "teacher-centered", "textbook-centered" and "classroom-centered", and focus on The overall goal of quality education is to strengthen students' dominant position and cultivate students' abilities as the central topic, with heuristic, open, and diversified teaching methods as the main direction, and actively carry out teaching research and teaching reform.
Really realize the four changes in classroom teaching, that is, changing from focusing only on learning results to focusing on strengthening dual bases, cultivating abilities, and developing intelligence;
Changing the teacher-dominated classroom to the teacher-led , students are the main body, and training is the main line;
Change from focusing only on knowledge transfer to paying attention to the learning process at the same time;
Change from teaching to the end to combining lectures and practice, highlighting the key points of knowledge teaching.
Strive to improve teaching efficiency and effectively reduce students' excessive academic burden, so that students can actively acquire knowledge, improve abilities, and develop lively in a benign learning environment.
2. Establish a scientific education quality assessment model to create a favorable environment for students’ personality development.
Through the analysis of "examination-oriented education", we can see that the unrealistic and one-sided educational evaluation has misled the development direction of education and cultivated abnormal talents. This is incompatible with the socialist market economic system and modernization construction. It is very unsuitable for the needs of the people.
To this end, it is necessary to establish a holistic education quality assessment model that combines qualitative and quantitative measures in schools, strive to be comprehensive and reasonable in terms of assessment content, and strive to be quantitative and scientific in terms of assessment form, so as to make it credible. It is operable and effective and gives full play to its motivational and guiding role in comprehensively implementing educational policies and developing students' personalities.
For students, we should enthusiastically encourage them to become famous and start a family, carry out ideal education, promptly discover, evaluate, and cultivate students' outstanding talents in learning and life practice, and actively try out multi-level integrated, hierarchical, and comprehensive The evaluation method comprehensively and scientifically evaluates the overall quality of students, and guides students to develop in an all-round way and give full play to their strengths in a timely manner. In particular, we should do a good job in transforming underachievers so that every star can shine and every petal can exude fragrance.
In short, by innovating the education evaluation system, students can be freed from the fierce competition for higher education, create a good external environment for the development of students' personalities, and create a school with comprehensive education and characteristics, and students with all-round development and specialties. vivid situation.
3. Broaden the channels for quality education and develop students’ individual strengths.
The first is to effectively strengthen the teaching of music, physical education, beauty and labor skills. This is an important way to implement quality education and an important position for developing students' personality and expertise.
At present, efforts should be made to reverse the weak situation of music, physical education, beauty and labor and technical education, and ensure five guarantees of teaching materials, class hours, teachers, equipment and assessment.
The second is to actively organize students to carry out a variety of extracurricular activities, ensure that students have one extracurricular activity every day, and include it in the class schedule to form a system to extensively carry out small science and technology activities as well as sports, manual labor, calligraphy and art , paper-cut carving, storytelling, poetry, literary creation and other activities.
The third is to establish a characteristic education school, give full play to its leading and exemplary role, and provide favorable conditions for the development of students' personality.
