Chapter 2494 Educational Methods

Li Zhongxin sat in the car and talked with Wang Shanshan for a while, telling Wang Shanshan that he would be able to reach Tsinghua University in a while, and asked Wang Shanshan to find a more conspicuous place to wait for him.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhongxin started to think about it again.

Li Zhongxin thought, what about China's university education? If we look at the source, it should be said that it was copied from countries in Europe and the United States. According to the system, there is really no such situation in China's education history, which is related to reasons such as closing the country after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

However, according to ancient Chinese studies, it is roughly the same, and many things are similar.

Principal Mei of Tsinghua University once said that the greatest purpose of education is nothing more than to make the group of people and the groups formed by them have their own peace and prosperity, and to advance in terms of cultivation and mutual convergence; then there is no middle and outside, no past and present, and no progress can be achieved.

To put it bluntly, the fundamental role of education is to enable everyone who receives education to settle down.

What Principal Mei said about "partial nurturing" is actually from the "Doctor of the Mean" "Heaven and Earth are in place, and all things are in place", and it advocates a concept of harmony.

In the 1930s, Pan Guangdan, a famous Tsinghua professor, applied this concept to eugenics and proposed the concept of "level education", which had a huge influence in the education community. Such a concept is far from being tolerated by science and technology. It is a kind of understanding, a kind of sentiment, and a kind of literacy.

The goal of the school should always be: when young people leave school, they should be a harmonious person, not an expert.

The so-called harmonious person refers to the humanistic care that is filled with him. A university is not a technical school, but a place where physical and mental harmony, healthy personality, and intellectual development are the goals.

According to Li Zhongxin's later understanding of education, Western education is a kind of experiential education. First, let students try to experience it, find difficulties in the experience, and then the students discover problems themselves, and accumulate and verify the conclusions in solving the difficulties. That is the result of the students' own knowledge.

China's education is an indoctrination education. First, it informs students of their experience, lets them follow the steps and learn and practice under the guidance of teachers step by step. Then, the conclusion is that book knowledge is often difficult to break out of the existing fixed pattern.

Li Zhongxin was once an art teacher at a university and was also a major in art at this time. He felt that the knowledge taught to them by professors in this industry was a bit rigid, basically all of which were fixed-mode education.

However! Such a thing cannot be said to be bad. After all, Li Zhongxin saw the rapid development and progress of Chinese society in his later generations, while the United States began to gradually decline.

Li Zhongxin attaches great importance to trading. From the time Li Zhongxin held courses from elementary school to university in Jiangcheng, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to do this. Through China's Hope Project, he could see that when he sent children from poor families in China, they needed things.

Li Zhongxin has always felt that the difference between education in China and the United States lies in the different teaching goals of primary education in the two countries.

Chinese primary education will develop children's intelligence and regard high scores as the primary goal. Li Zhongxin knew when he was a child that every minute, the lifeblood of students, the test, and the magic weapon of teachers.

At this time, most of the Chinese-style cramming education are Chinese style. What teachers say is what they want. The most important thing is basic courses such as Chinese and mathematics. Other courses will even give way to these courses.

When Li Zhongxin was in elementary school, he often spent Chinese and mathematics all day. Those music classes, physical education classes, natural classes, etc. were basically the number of students who could attend a year was a numerical one. When it was time to take the exam, the Chinese teacher or math teacher entered the classroom with a book and told the students directly that if the physical education class or music class was not available, they would have to review.

In the United States, there is only one purpose of primary education, to cultivate children's creativity, this thing is whether it is good or not.

The advantage is that children have rich creativity and imagination, and they will not have any nature or ideas that are destroyed by teachers in the bud. Elementary education is fun in the United States, fully releasing children's nature and allowing children to grow up happily.

However, this method has great disadvantages. Most people do not have the ability to learn independently. When they have to come into contact with slightly more difficult knowledge, they will feel that it is too difficult and they will easily give up. This matter is also a reason why there are many illiterate people in the United States later.

The proportion of illiteracy in the United States is about 30% more than 30%, among which blacks, that is, Africans, account for the largest proportion, and some American poor people.

To put it bluntly, the United States is a capitalist society. What they advocate is different from what the Chinese advocate. In the eyes of capitalists, all the vast masses serve them. They do not lack people with too much thoughts. What they need are people without thoughts and ideas.

There are many different places between Chinese and American children. Chinese children have poor grades. For example, if they fail in the final or midterm exam and their scores are low, then Chinese children will be under pressure from all sides. There is pressure from teachers, parents, and even the pressure between classmates.

The American children are different. The transcripts of American students are generally private. Parents rarely look at their children's grades, and parents and teachers do not put too much pressure on their children. For the American side, it doesn't matter whether they get high scores. What is important is that the children gain a lot of knowledge during the fun process. The score does not represent the growth of the children.

China's education focuses on the accumulation and indoctrination of knowledge, cultivating students' respect for knowledge and authority, inheritance of knowledge, and the construction of a knowledge system.

What does this mean? Chinese education is to respect teachers and respect the truth. The knowledge taught by teachers is correct and cannot be questioned. What things passed down are like is what they look like. Students are not allowed to question what teachers say.

The United States pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability to use knowledge, focusing on cultivating students' doubts about knowledge and authority, critical spirit, and the expansion and creation of knowledge.
