I remember once watching the National Primary School Chinese Teacher Literacy Competition, in which there was a question-and-answer session. These problems are often not directly related to teaching, but some common sense, such as astronomy, history, geography ... Sometimes, teachers with excellent literacy in many aspects will wrestle on such problems.
Teachers engaged in their own professional teaching should always remember to look at and read more from a professional perspective. Recalling the photos of black holes released by astronomers a while ago, I think it is beneficial for teachers of any discipline to open the pictures or articles and stare at the black holes in the pictures a few times. At least at that moment, I was attracted by the black hole, and I felt that the world was really wonderful. It was an interdisciplinary reading to guess that everything in the universe was unpredictable.
As teachers, we are deeply involved in the field of education. Does this mean that we can only wait and see? Not exactly. We can extend from the field of education to other fields, or look back at education or connect different fields.
Teachers can't live without reading, which is a prominent problem, but does it constitute "the biggest problem of education in China"? Assuming that all teachers are scholars now, love reading and read good books, will it quickly reverse our current educational ecology? From a sociological point of view, this may not be the case.
From my observation, thinking about current education often requires a different way of thinking. Among them, the most convenient way is interdisciplinary reading, not only pedagogy, but also politics, sociology, anthropology and biology. In this way, the teacher's thinking path, depth and fun will be different. In the final analysis, this will also promote the professional growth of teachers.
In life, everyone has more than one identity, and so does a teacher. I am a teacher and a parent. I am also an amateur creator of a local literary salon, and so on. Then, our reading can't be limited to a certain identity, and every identity can lead to meaningful reading.
After becoming a parent, I like reading books on family education. It must be said that many families will also promote teachers' education and quality of life. In the past two years, I have also read many books related to medicine, some of which were written directly by doctors. Doctors face real people more directly than teachers. The real cases in the book in turn inspired me to think about the nature of education and the protection of children's lives.
Besides, I am a cross-identity teacher. To be a good teacher, I must understand children. Standing with children will naturally pay attention to their reading. As a companion "big boy", reading children's books with children is to discover children and themselves. Therefore, as far as cross-identity reading is concerned, I have a great feeling that I have surpassed personal labels. First of all, I don't label myself easily; Secondly, it is not easy to be bound by identity tags.
This is more through paper books. Although many people have a slight complaint about e-reading, in my opinion, Mr. Nie Zhenning's sentence "Read the screen when busy, read it when idle" is still worth learning. E-reading is by no means a scourge, but its essence lies in how to use it and how to realize it.
Nowadays, when I go out, I always take the Kindle with me. The e-books inside accompany my journey, and reading is always on the road. Since we have an official WeChat account, I have been reading the tweets of the official WeChat account every day, which is also cross-media reading. Broaden your horizons, life is reading, reading the sky, reading mountains, reading water, reading him, reading books with words, reading books without words ... Are these all cross-media reading?
Interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, cross-identity, cross-media, this is my superficial understanding of cross-border reading, definitely more than these four "cross-border". All in all, what jumped out? This is a boundary. It may be a wonderful world that has never been opened before.
Some people say that it is because of cross-border learning that one's appetite is not limited, and one does not confine oneself to a certain aspect, but in one's own interest, one can not only have dreams to explore, but also have self-persistence. Reading and dreaming are so perfectly combined.
What is the significance of cross-border reading, that is-
Cross-border reading is not only a professional connection and leap, but also the pursuit of the unknown, the love of life and the unremitting pursuit of the unknown. For our only life, we are willing to seize every minute to love it and live well.
Reading has various reasons for existence and possible meanings, and cross-border reading may be the happiest and most useful. To say the least, any reading is not aimed at a certain function, or all functions are included in reading, which is an extra reward. Then why is cross-border reading the happiest and most useful?
"Reading words and understanding the world", when we cross the self-set reading boundary, a new door, which may be the door of learning, interpersonal relationship and life, will be gently pushed open by our own hands and slowly opened, and we will set out to find a complete and better self, and reading will be closer to life and dreams, and eventually we will be integrated.
If you are confined to your major, your identity and your work in your study life, even if you can set foot in a small world, you will definitely lose a broader and better world, right?
The teacher often asks me, "How did you cross the line?" I thought about it, and it was really humble. Nothing more than curiosity, problem awareness and practical needs. Scholar Zhu said that "reading is a private matter". How to read, how to cross-border reading, everyone is different, reading methods can not be copied.
Publisher Hao once put forward "Reading Seven Steps", which I think is an excellent description of cross-border reading level. These seven steps point to advanced reading from shallow to deep, that is-
What you care about and think about is how to make yourself better
You begin to care and think about how to make yourself and your loved ones better.
You begin to appreciate all abstract beauty.
You begin to appreciate the beauty of the social system.
You begin to appreciate the beauty of behavior different from yourself.
You begin to learn and appreciate the beauty of multiple knowledge surges.
You learn to appreciate the beauty of wisdom in the universe.
The word "ladder" also inspired me that there should be a down-to-earth accumulation process before "crossing the border". To a certain extent, with some suitable opportunities, as readers, we will encounter "crossing" unexpectedly. This requires us to keep reading and make appointments from blogs, which has both the radiation of reading and the concentration of practical points-moral education, teaching and educating people. Teachers always temper themselves in things, and they see a real chapter in their educational career.
In any case, "nothing can make us like reading except love, and a late start can be so beautiful;" Even love can't make us feel that crossing the border can be as novel as reading "(Hao).
This is the beauty of cross-border reading. Teachers nowadays, living in the jungle of books, can't live a rich life, but starve to death. They must jump out of the jungle and be as dedicated, brave and unconstrained as clever hunters. Yes, reading is also a kind of hunting. When more prey is caught, it will bring you a happy and complete reading life.
