In today's era when various cultures meet, mainstream values are missing, tradition conflicts with modernity, personality is fully displayed, and information superhighway extends in all directions, perhaps all teachers will feel that traditional moral preaching in modern education has become so pale and powerless, and teachers' dignity seems to have been lost. Because of some social deformities and the increase of some ugly phenomena, students seem to have lost their basic moral values in dealing with the relationship between labor and harvest, dedication and success, dedication and acquisition, responsibility and rights, and teachers find it more and more difficult for students to teach. Coupled with the pressure of further education, the competition of teaching and the shortage of economic income, teachers often have job burnout and even various physical and mental diseases, which often makes teachers lose the joy of educating students. According to the survey conducted by the primary and secondary school teachers' health research group of the Ministry of Education, 5 1.32% teachers have psychological problems, of which 32. 18% teachers have mild psychological problems, 16.56% teachers have moderate psychological problems, and 2.49% teachers suffer from psychological diseases. The existence of these problems not only affects teachers' professional happiness and enjoyment of a better life, but also affects the quality of education and teaching and the physical and mental health of the new generation. Education itself exists for people's happiness, and teachers are happy occupations. Let teachers experience happiness in their work, which is not only the guarantee of students' happy growth, but also the desire of teachers' own development and the need of education development. I often write articles about my problems and doubts in my work, as well as my own views and opinions, and sometimes I will vent my dissatisfaction with today's education. Last month, the editor of the teacher research section of China Education News gave me a book "Being the Best Teacher" by Li Zhenxi, with the inscription: "Feel Li Zhenxi: Experience the Happiness of Education".
I remember reading Li Zhenxi's article more than ten years ago, and I felt a little funny: the name of Li Zhenxi was very strange, and it was very similar to the name of Kansai Town in Water Margin. With more and more reading of Mr. Li's articles, I became accustomed to his name and gradually got close to it, which led to my admiration. After reading this book recently, the author showed me how to pursue the common development of teachers and students and enjoy the happiness of education in education and teaching, personal professional development and family and social life. After reading this book, you will feel that you are tasting the ups and downs in the process of education with the author, experiencing setbacks, overcoming difficulties, generating educational wisdom and enjoying the happiness of educational success.
To experience the happiness of education, teachers should first "make people feel happy because of my existence". This simple sentence has always been the goal of life and the way to be a man that Miss Li worships. Educators once commented: "Teacher Li works hard in students' hearts with love, and students' growth becomes enjoyment. He also likes teaching; He writes his feelings sincerely, so that readers can enjoy reading. I believe he also enjoys writing books. A teacher who regards teaching as enjoyment and lets students enjoy happy growth is a good teacher. " Teachers should treat every student, people and things around them with appreciation and touching mentality. The mutual respect and love between teachers and students is based on love and democracy. Teacher Li initiated an education full of love and democracy, which is an education full of love and respect for individuality, not an inhuman education in authoritarian education. Respect students' freedom of mind, thought, emotion and creation. A truly excellent teacher should be a guide for students and a like-minded person who pursues new knowledge and truth with students. Democracy education is also an education that attaches importance to the rule of law. The spirit of rule of law in education is also reflected in the transformation of class management from "rule of man" to "rule of law", which makes students inspired by the spirit of democracy, the concept of rule of law, equality consciousness and independent personality in practice. Democracy education needs tolerance, and democracy itself means tolerance: tolerance of others' individuality, tolerance of others' differences, tolerance of others' mistakes and uniqueness ... There are many classroom teaching records, class work notes, cases of teacher-student exchange, cases of handling accidental events, etc. in the book, all of which are integrated into Mr. Li's love and democratic education thoughts, which make people memorable.
Li Zhenxi believes that in order to enjoy the happiness of education, the teaching profession should not only be "dedication", or this "dedication" itself is also harvest, harvest and growth! Teachers' success should be based not only on students' success, but also on their own success: they have a deeper understanding of education and richer educational wisdom. Only by making their classes more and more exciting, making achievements in education and scientific research, and starting to write and publish educational articles and even educational works, can teachers truly experience the only happiness. Suhomlinski, a famous educator, said, "If you want teachers' work to bring fun to teachers and make attending classes every day not a monotonous obligation, then you should guide every teacher to embark on this happy research road. "If teachers don't just want to be" teachers ",but want to get a sense of professional happiness, they must read a lot of books, seriously study and master educational scientific and cultural knowledge, constantly improve their professional level and the quality of education and teaching, deepen educational reform and research, and immerse themselves in the ocean of happiness forever. In this regard, Mr. Li has developed the habit of "never leaving the book". He must lie in bed and read for at least dozens of minutes every day, otherwise he will lose sleep. Every time he goes out for meetings, lectures and travels, he takes several books with him. There are places to study on trains, planes and hotels.
In the first few years of her work, Ms. Li, full of passion and vigor, was caught in the misunderstanding of education and suffered many setbacks in the face of students' shortcomings. For example, he once mercilessly satirized the students he didn't respect in class, making him blush and lift his head, but also complacent; Let the students who violate the discipline stand for a long time without asking why, and feel glad until the sick girl drops out of school, because she will not drag the class back again; Even if the students make mistakes, they still clench their fists and beat them bloody ... The author's reflection has not diminished his image at all, but has narrowed our distance and restored us to a realistic Li Zhenxi: these situations are exactly what we often encounter in our work, which makes us feel difficult to deal with and even makes us lose confidence in our work. "The real hero is not without humble sentiment, but will never be conquered by humble sentiment; The real light is not when there is no darkness, but when it will not be lost in the darkness "("John? 9? 9 Christophe) Constant self-reflection and criticism is the propeller of growth. Let us make continuous progress in our work and gradually turn to research-oriented teachers to continuously generate educational wisdom, and then we can realize the happiness and happiness of our work.
Education is the art of soul, and education lies in awakening. "Education is by no means a simple cultural transmission. The reason why education becomes education is that it is an' awakening' of personality and soul, which is the core of education. " ("Marx? 9? 9 "The Complete Works of Sigmund", Volume III, page 248) Educators should have all-pervasive educational sensitivity, uncontrollable educational instinct and educational wit to save the day. In the eyes of Teacher Li, education is always beautiful-beauty lies in understanding, beauty lies in wit and beauty lies in innovation. " Are there no students who give you a headache? "Li Zhenxi's answer is: look at these troubled children from a different angle, that is, from the perspective of scientific research. Treat every difficult problem encountered in education (class collective construction, the transformation of "underachievers", puppy love, cheating, etc. As a scientific research topic, and the mentality will be very calm, education will be very calm. There are new discoveries, new understandings and new gains every day, so there is new happiness every day. In this way, the "best educational opportunity" that educators expect can be seen everywhere, and often comes unexpectedly.
Teacher Li, who took the leadership position, still sticks to the front line of teaching and the podium, and has always maintained close contact with students, because "I am a teacher, my life is on the podium, and my life is on the students." Up to now, Miss Li still insists on the "five one projects" every day: having a good Chinese class, having a heart-to-heart or written communication with a student, thinking about an educational or social problem, reading a book of not less than 10,000 words and writing an educational diary.
This book is the essence of the author's 25-year education and teaching thoughts and wisdom, and comprehensively expounds the author's ideas and practices on education, students, class management, students' ideological work, students' mental health and Chinese teaching. Some of these viewpoints have been deeply rooted in people's hearts: "turn Chinese teaching into Chinese education", "collectivism education is the core of middle school education", "turn the authority of the head teacher into the collective authority of students" and "let Chinese teaching enter the hearts of students". Let students participate in Chinese teaching, class management should replace "rule by man" with "rule by law", "liberate the head teacher and self-liberation", "innocence is the source of teachers' love", "changing the language of examination into the language of life", "Ten collisions of moral education ideas", "education breathes democracy, science and individuality", "education is the art of the soul, and democracy is the soul of education" ... The author is good at pouring rational thinking into highly readable educational stories and expressing his educational thoughts, wit, skills and feelings in one story after another.
