Recently, Shandong Weifang After the rain, rainbow and Caixia appeared in the sky. A geography teacher who was in class quickly suspended classes and asked students to see it. The teacher said that there are colorful clouds and rainbows at the same time. The beautiful scenery is so rare, so he wants to enjoy it with the students, but after watching it, students have to think about the causes of the rainbows and ask questions in class. A seemingly inconspicuous news touched the hearts of many people. The same rainbow, the different people see it, so the angles will naturally be different. The teacher's actions seem ordinary, but from a deeper look, they touch on the true meaning of aesthetic education .
A few days ago, we talked about the geek in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, Wei Dongyi, Wei Shen. At that time, I said that there was not much time left for Wei Dongyi. Because for mathematicians, 30 years old is a hurdle. If you don’t get any grades at this age, you probably will be like this in your life. Of course there is an example, but it is likely that this is the case. So someone asked a question, why can children in our country win the Olympiad championship but not become mathematicians? I think the problem lies in our educational methods. I happened to watch an Douyin video two days ago. The author is an international student studying in the UK. He went abroad after graduation, but later he wanted to take the , , Mathematics Department of Cambridge University but failed. And one of his classmates passed the exam. But when it comes to problem-solving skills, the student who passed the exam is no match for him at all. So what's the difference between this international student? It's just that he can only solve problems, but he lacks understanding of mathematics itself. Although that British classmate couldn't solve those tricky and weird problems, he had a wide range of knowledge in mathematics and loved mathematics very much. Of course, he was also very smart, but he didn't spend time solving problems. The mathematics education in the UK is like this. Just understand the formulas and will not design various problems around the formulas. Therefore, the mathematics class in the UK is taught very quickly. I have finished learning calculus and I have done it in high school. As for computing ability, isn’t there a calculator?
This actually involves what the purpose of our learning is? Is it for a high-income position or for the interest itself. These two learning purposes have led us to two educational paths. The former is called utilitarian education, which treats education as an opportunity to change one's destiny. The latter type of education is often called quality education , which regards improving oneself as the purpose of education. Maybe we will take it for granted that the latter is better than the former. But it is not. It should be said that quality education requires certain conditions. We have an old saying that if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. It means that only when we are not exhausted by life can we have the luxury to improve ourselves. So when we face the rainbows in the sky, should we turn a blind eye to continue to class or take some time to feel it, the choice is related to our reality. Parents who want their children to succeed think this is a waste of time, while parents who advocate quality education will highly appreciate the choice of teachers. The latter may think that the former is too utilitarian, while the former may think that the latter is full of men and does not know that the hungry men are hungry. And I have to say, this is a process. I saw a netizen applying the famous quote from the second president of the United States, John Adams. He said this: I must work hard to make money, learn intrigues in the workplace, and bear all the pressure, challenges and pain in the process of accumulating wealth and increasing my value. Then my children may be able to live in a more spacious house with a better school district, and have the opportunity to explore their specialties and hobbies and engage in careers that they are interested in, so that their children can study painting, poetry, and music without having to worry about three meals a day. Look, this is the process I mentioned. Recently I visited a science park in Changchun. As the name suggests, the park is full of games designed using scientific principles, and games connect children and science. This is the same as the teacher suspended classes and took the child to watch the Rainbow Episode. And this is what quality education should look like. It is not difficult for a teacher to stop class and watch the rainbow once, but the difficult thing is that he will stop class and watch the rainbow every time.
