A visible fact is that exams are becoming more and more frequent in schools, and the preparations for each exam are getting longer and longer, and the preparations for each exam are getting more and more complicated.
Haven't you seen it? It's just over a month since the start of school. For a small midterm exam, I started to create momentum three or four weeks in advance. From students, teachers, and parents, all of them became nervous and all took action.
students began to actively prepare for midterm exams, lying in various exercises and chapters every day. They often ask a question from the teacher: "Teacher, will you take the midterm exam?" In their little thoughts, the exam is useful, that is, to learn, if you don't take the exam, it is useless, and you can not learn.
not only requires students to prepare, but teachers also need to prepare, print various targeted exercises to students, print and review the midterm exam, provide students with psychological counseling for midterm exams, and answer questions about various questions about midterm exams...
Parents cannot be idle either. Through various channels, the midterm exam questions from last year, the midterm exam questions from the previous year, and even the midterm exam questions from the previous year. There are not only those in the school, but also those in other schools; there are not only those in the district, but also those in other districts. Looking at the large stack of review materials printed and imagining the child's rapid writing, I finally felt much more at ease. The situation described above in
is already commonplace for most people and is no longer surprising. But I have to ask loudly, is it so serious about a small midterm exam? When Zixia, the disciple of Confucius , asked Confucius how to govern when he was the priest of Jufu. Confucius said: "No haste, no small profits can be seen. If you want is haste, you will not achieve it. If you see small profits, you will not be able to accomplish it."
Liu Zongyuan In his political fable "The Biography of Guo Wu Camel in ", he said through the mouth of Guo Wu Camel planting trees that the secret to planting good trees is: "You can follow the heaven of the tree, so that your nature is so good. ... It is like a son, and if you abandon it, then the heaven is complete and your nature is achieved." It is nothing more than following nature. When you should serve, you should let it grow by yourself, let it go down. And how do people do it now? "Love is too kind, worry is too diligent, and I look at it all day long and caress it in the evening, and I look at it again. Even the skin is clawed to verify its growth and dryness, shake its roots to observe its sparseness and density, and the nature of the wood is separated every day." In the name of love, I tossed and tore it, and the tree was killed alive.
Although they are talking about the principle of governance, applying this principle to education is not only not at all uncontradictory, but also completely applicable.
A colleague of mine said: "Exams are a means to test teaching and learning. Learning is like making money, and exams are like counting money. After earning money for a period of time, you must count it, otherwise you don't know how much you earn and how to adjust it. But the frequency of counting money is too high, which will delay making money. Making money is the main thing, but counting money is not."
A colleague of mine said: "Everything grows has its own natural laws, and time is the fairest leverage. When time comes, eggs crack from the inside and outside, that is the birth of a new life; After a while, it kept cracking from outside, and it was destined to die. "
I said, "Win steam a bun and lift the lid of the pot and see if it is cooked eight times. How can it be done? You can't try how to steam buns in this exam, so I've been practicing steaming buns during this period. After a while, I'll learn how to steam buns and steam buns, and then forget the ability to steam buns. "
If the teacher teaches around the exam, it will inevitably disrupt the normal teaching rhythm in order to deal with frequent exams. The teacher teaches students a lot of knowledge, which is no longer systematic, but fragmented. In order to achieve a certain goal at a certain stage, and not give the child time to digest and absorb it, take the exam today, tomorrow, and then swallow it in half a piece. As a result, it is all raw rice. Once the rice is raw, it will not be easy to cook again.
If students study around the exam, it will inevitably disrupt the pace of learning and will have quick success and instant benefits. Those who take the test will study, and those who don’t take the exam will not study. After the exam, I forgot, and the bear broke the stick - broke one ear and threw it. It is completely impossible to achieve "knowing what the day is, and not forgetting what the moon can do." It is impossible to have the intention or interest to study in depth on a certain issue, nor to systematically organize the knowledge you have learned, let alone learn from one example and integrate it into one.
When you review the midterm exam almost crazy and then get good results in the midterm exam, don’t be blinded by this so-called “good results” and be blinded by the “good results”. Be calm down and think about it. It is very likely that what we have lost is much more than what we have gained.
Mao Zedong wrote a poem: "The courtyard is square, and the small fish in the center of the pond. Just drink water in the well, it will never grow." If the teacher teaches around the exam and students learn around the exam, it can only be like the small fish in the courtyard, "Only drink water in the well, it will never grow."
