I had a meal with my friend, and my friend said let’s not order so many dishes. The reason is as follows:
first, I am already in the 50s, and health is more important than the desire for my mouth. Second, I am 1.7 meters tall and weigh 21 yuan, and I am already overweight. Third, the doctor told himself to be restrained and not to eat scattered. Fourth, restaurants and catering are high in oil, high in sugar, high in salt, and high in calories, so you must control the choice. Fifth, if you order too much, you can't finish it and eat it.
I said, "If you don't eat, you won't starve to death?" The reason is as follows:
" Zuo Zhuan " says, "There are six qi in heaven and five flavors in it." Eating is to practice the way for heaven. Food culture is an important part of our country's excellent traditional culture, and we have the responsibility to carry forward food culture. We scholars should learn from the great scholars Su Dongpo , and the world's delicious food and reading should not be disappointed. The old saying goes well, "Food is the most important thing for people." Eating is natural and not eating is contrary to the laws of nature. As the saying goes, people are iron and rice, they are hungry if they don’t eat for a meal, and they die if they don’t eat for five days. If they don’t eat, they will not starve to death?…
However, "If they don’t eat, they will not starve to death" is not a real problem for my friends.
Similarly, "How to carry out music teaching without music" is not a real problem for the main music teacher in the basic education stage.
This is just like "how to carry out mathematics teaching without mathematics" is not a real problem for the mathematics teacher in the basic education stage. If you are a math teacher who joins through a fair, just and open application process, can you "can't do math"?
Please allow me to point out the fact that in the author’s 2,000-word short essay “Music Teacher, Please Recognize Your Major”, “Primary and Secondary Schools”, “Basic Education” and “Non-Professional Music Education” appeared 12 times in total. I feel embarrassed to repeat it.
Please allow me to repeat this sentence specifically at the beginning of the short paragraph: "Does music teachers need music technology? Of course, they need it. But this question is not a 'real problem', because music teachers generally focus on music technology in their original study process, and also focus on music technology in their current work process."
"real problem" is not a noble problem, it must be combined with the specific characteristics of the times and the yearning for specific people. We have all sang "If you plow the fields, I weave cloth". "How to weave cloth" is a real problem that needs to be solved for women in the farming era, and is not a real problem for most women in the electrical era .
"If you don't eat, you won't starve to death?" This question is a real problem for African refugees, a real problem for hungry people who "changed their children and ate" in ancient my country's disasters, but a fake problem for my friends who didn't have to consider at all. If I still bring up all kinds of high-sounding and specious principles to " morally kidnapped " my friend, then my problem is already the same as the evil problem of Jin Huidi "Why not eat meat minced".
"How can you teach music without music?" This question may have been a real problem forty years ago. Today, when there are as many as two million graduates in music colleges every year, it is no longer a real problem.
In the music department, there is little difference in the training methods of music teacher students and music performance students.
More than 20 years ago, the biggest difference between me, a music teacher student and a friend who is a music performer, was that he gave two vocal classes a week, and I gave one vocal classes a week; I had two combined classes in education (each semester each), and he didn't.
This situation has changed in the past two years, but the three feet of ice is not cold for a day, and it is not a day to reverse the huge inertia. Overall, the teacher training students in the music department are currently poor in normal school, even the teacher training students in Normal University .
In the small-scale survey involving 7 colleges, I have not heard that any music teacher student has received "teacher mission" education (shouting a few slogans cannot be considered receiving teacher mission education). Many music teachers in basic education do not love their teaching positions, and there is a reason for this.
Next, let’s briefly answer a question: If all the teachers in the Conservatory of Music have a total of 10,000 classes, then how many classes can the teachers in music education and education take up?
If their class hours can be 5,000, then congratulations, you probably studied the best music education major in the world.
If their class hours can add up to 2,000, then congratulations, you probably studied the best music education major in China.
If their class hours can add up to 1,000, that's not bad. You probably studied in a very normal music education major in China.
10%, one step further is within the reasonable error range of sociology (5%). In fact, in many music colleges where teacher students account for a larger proportion, the class hours of music education and education teachers account for about 5%.
"How to carry out music teaching without music?" This question may have been a real problem forty years ago. After the total class hours of music education plus education teachers account for more than 40%, it may also be a real problem, but now it is far from it.
To develop music education, everyone needs to discover real problems and solve real problems, and there is no need to catch up and mess up the waters because of personal interests. Without the big cake of music education, there would be no small cake of music teachers.
The reason why the author focuses on music education in the basic education stage is because it covers all students. "All students can develop themselves through music", which is a real big cake. Professional music education or vocational music education only covers a very small number of students. "Only a very small number of students have the ability to develop music and become professional musicians through their own efforts", which is not only less than "5%", but also less than 0.5%, which is beyond the reach of the author who lacks professional strength.
Do music teachers in the basic education stage need to improve their music abilities? Of course, it is necessary, but this is also what music teachers generally do. At this time, the importance of this is actually another problem: after learning music for many years, I will not support students in developing core literacy through music.
The subject is a means and student development is the goal. This is a basic educational concept that teachers in all subjects should be clear. It is precisely because of this that teacher education has become a major (teaching is easy, but it is difficult to support students' development), and education is really a great cause (teaching is not great, educating talents is great).
