0 1 What is educational narrative?
Li Fang: In my opinion, educational narratives are those things in the classroom. Anything that happens in class can be used for writing. For example, the conflict between classmates, the picture of helping each other at the same table, and an interesting chat between classmates and teachers can all be captured as the material of educational narrative. Another example is a teacher's smile, a look and an encouraging word in class, which can arouse positive waves in students' hearts. These small changes can be recorded, just like telling a story. This is the educational narrative in my mind.
Liang: Educational narrative, superficially speaking, is a narrative about education. Combining the class is the narrative about the class. Class affairs, the field is quite large. Child growth, curriculum presentation, teaching design, classroom generation, teacher-student interaction, extracurricular life. No matter how you write, narrative is the main body.
Wang Haibei: Educational narrative must be a real educational reality, which is to state facts, share gains and record life. Personally, I think educational narrative should reflect self-improvement or have the value of sharing and research. Educational narrative, especially under unusual circumstances, cannot be tasteless and unremarkable.
Liu Jiaqi: Educational narrative is an education-oriented writing, including class narrative, teacher-student narrative, life narrative, teacher-teacher narrative and so on, which is supported by educational theory.
Jia: Educational narration is a research method to record all kinds of real and vivid educational events and thought-provoking touching stories in the form of storytelling. Its essence is to realize the true meaning of education by telling educational stories.
Chen Guangying: Educational narration is the easiest professional writing method for teachers, especially class teachers. The subject of narrative is the educator, and the object of narrative is the people and things in the process of education. Narration focuses on teachers' mental journey in the process of education, especially educational reflection. On the basis of restoring events, there is summary and promotion, which is the proper meaning of educational narrative.
Feng: Educational narrative mainly focuses on education, which can include school education, family education, social education and so on. You can write about what happened in school education, such as what happened between teachers and students, thinking about your own classroom teaching, stories about classes, the transformation of problem students, children's ideological trends, thinking about school education and teaching, studying the work of class teachers and class management, thinking about some things, and so on. Since it is a narrative, it is necessary to give priority to narration, describe the occurrence, process and result of things in detail, and then write your own ideas, which is better with certain theoretical support.
02 Distinguish between Educational Narrative and Daily Writing
Hao: In daily writing, you can speak freely as you like. You can write about scenery, things, people and feelings. Everything you hear, feel and hear has only one purpose, that is, to express your inner feelings, express your opinions and satisfy your writing desire.
Liu Jiaqi: A little wider. You can write anything you want to express, including educational narrative, or poetry theme, or prose, or letter prose, as long as you want to express, you can write. Daily writing is broader and more casual. As long as inspiration comes, write it down.
Tian Lei: Educational narration and daily writing are two ways for teachers to record their educational life. There are similarities and differences between them. Literally, educational narrative is to record stories related to education with the support of educational theory, while daily writing can be to record life, touch scenes, recall, look forward to, and alternate between reality and reality. Educational narrative is mainly based on case connection theory, and case narrative is interspersed with educational theory; Daily writing is to record the bits and pieces that happen in daily life, without any educational theory support. However, whether it is educational narrative or daily writing, we should use our eyes that are good at discovery, use our unique opinions and express them in concrete ways!
Li Fang: Compared with daily writing, educational narrative is more concrete, vivid and story-telling. By telling stories, we can reflect on our behavior in teaching activities and improve teaching methods. Educational narrative can be written by grasping a certain inspiration, a certain detail and a certain class at any time, which is not limited by the form and the number of words and is easier to master.
Gu Yaxing: Daily writing, in my opinion, is a free and unconstrained style. Where inspiration goes, the pen in my hand writes. Inspiration came and spread a thousand words; But if what you write has no inspiration and no feelings, you can't deduct dozens of words.
Educational narration is a process in which teachers describe the real situation of education and teaching. In the daily teaching process, all kinds of things will happen and meet all kinds of students. In dealing with these things, we will use educational tact, that is, the ability to make judgments quickly and correctly according to students' new, especially unexpected situations, and to take appropriate and effective educational measures to solve problems in time. Since it is to deal with emergencies, there is definitely no fixed method. If we can record these things and record their solutions every day, we can reflect on them every day. Write down all the good and bad, then let yourself out and look at this matter from an objective perspective, and you will have many different ideas and record them in time. Therefore, I think educational narrative should be purposeful and not as casual as daily writing.
How to write a good educational narrative
Liang: In the process of writing, it is inseparable from the relevant laws, the laws of children's growth, the laws of classroom teaching and the laws of children's cognition, that is, we must follow a certain theoretical basis.
Han: To write educational narrative, we should infiltrate educational theory, combine theory with actual class facts and sublimate educational events. When I write educational narratives, I clearly feel that events or student activities can really impress children, but I always lack theoretical support in my article statements. I can't find educational theories myself, and I don't know how to find them, and I don't know which book to find them in. After writing an article, always write one or two simple ideas at the end. Such a narrative is just a narrative, bland and without connotation.
Nasu: Max van Manen said: "The best way for teachers to engage in practical research is to tell and keep telling real educational stories." Educational narrative is to write a good story. Education is a kind of spiritual interaction between people, so there will be many stories in education. We should pay attention to and discover the stories around us. For example, the conflict between teachers and students, the contradiction between home and school, and the violent "collision" between students are all genres of writing. I wrote an article "Education starts from the heart", in which a student named Kang deliberately threw books in my class to provoke me. I held back my anger and asked why after class. After communication, he cleared up his misunderstanding of me. I reflected on this matter, and I was too straightforward with my students, without considering their psychological feelings. Writing is also a process of analyzing yourself.
Jia: Narrative cases must be true, original and educational events that have happened. The article should talk about special people and special conflicts. It describes the plot, a meaningful and relatively complete story, and the plot should be ups and downs and exciting. In addition, readers can clearly grasp the problems in their own teaching from the educational narrative, and use introspection and comparison methods to solve similar problems they usually encounter.
Shen: As educators, we should have a pair of eyes to discover "beauty", and every student has his own bright spot. As long as you are attentive and observant, there is always a "point" that you are moved to capture and record. Pay more attention to life and be careful enough for every student. Sit down and browse in your spare time, it will have a different taste! Therefore, educational narrative is not only a record and description of the feelings when things happen, but also a beautiful memory!
Han Zhihua: Educational narrative is mainly narrative, which records the real events in the classroom. Can be big or small, long or short, can be a conversation, a smile, a home visit, a game; It can also be the transformation of underachievers, written into multiple fragments and then combined; The inspiration brought by an experiment and so on. Educational narrative should be typical, supported by educational theory, and should not be written in a running account, nor too obscure, which makes people fall into a sea of smoke.
The Significance of Educational Narrative Writing
Wang Haibei: Educational narration can not only accumulate educational materials and share educational experience, but also help teachers to reflect on educational behavior from the materials, try to figure out students' psychology and improve their professional quality.
Feng: Educational narrative is the first-hand information we have accumulated, and it is also the best material for our reflection and research.
Chen Guangying: Although education and teaching seem to be repeating yesterday's story, because the object and subject of education are real people, there are people and things that can be written and worth writing. Professor Li Ka-shing once wrote about the research space of the head teacher. He believes that "the work space of the class teacher seems to be limited to the class, but it is actually a very open system, which has the possibility of understanding and even affecting the society.
Nasu: The process of teachers' writing is a process of self-reflection. Writing can help us to sort out our work carefully, and it can also help us to complete spiritual self-washing.
Postscript: The host's mind
More and more firmly believe that "every angel seen will shine." I secretly swear: I will try my best to make an extraordinary class teacher.
Educational reading, teachers' writing and growth are the only way for teachers' professional growth. Educational narrative is the starting point of teachers' writing and the most meaningful and valuable starting point of teachers' growth. When teachers devote themselves to educational narrative, they will pay attention to everything related to education, tell the real situation in education and teaching from different perspectives, and realize the true meaning of education. Gradually, the pain of life lies in the words, and the spirit and dignity also take root in the words.
Educational narrative is not to tell stories for the sake of telling stories, but to learn to talk to the parties, to talk to themselves and to talk to others in educational narrative. Educate the narrator to record a phenomenon, express a reflection, and immerse himself in a research.
The narrator's perspective determines the narrative level. How to combine an objective process with one's own real experience and subjective interpretation, so as to discover an educational law and realize the truth? This is crucial.
I write my heart by hand. Good at practice, diligent in understanding and willing to write. And have a sense of readers.
"I save myself three times a day." Record educational cases, pay attention to classroom records, write educational reviews, and make an investigation report. Good at detection, good at recording, and good at capturing "fleeting" ideas.
Demonstration is the best guide. I publish thousands of words every day. And select several educational narratives and modify them into the embryonic form of educational narratives from different angles, or use the modified symbols to let the friends see the traces of modification and reflect on their narrative perspectives, narrative techniques and narrative languages. Through comparison and comparison, we can find the path of educational narrative.
I expect every little friend to study quietly, prepare lessons carefully and grow up with a clean heart. The beauty of education comes quietly, the agility of narrative comes quietly, and the power of education comes quietly
There will be me in the future, and the sun will shine.
