Epidemic is education!

What is education? Although different people have different answers in different periods, the connotation of education is almost the same; , in a narrow sense, education refers to school education, and in a broad sense, education refers to social practice activities that can influence people's physical and mental development. In addition to school education, it also includes family education and social education. In terms of content, education is to promote the mental development of educated people and cultivate their relatively mature or rational thinking to understand society and life. In terms of purpose, education must realize the socialization of people, and enable people to serve the society with their educated cognition and ability, and ultimately live in harmony with society. Education has a very broad connotation and extension, and its core purpose is to achieve the harmony between human physical and mental development and human social life. The content of education includes knowledge but is not limited to knowledge, but also includes anything that can promote the physical, mental and spiritual development of the educated. The purpose of education is to truly restore life, not to get out of life, and to allow educated people to return to society and return to real life.

At the beginning of the New Year in 2020, the whole country was hit by the coronavirus epidemic, and the whole people were confined. One of the impact was that primary, middle and primary school students could not resume classes normally. This is an impact on normal teaching order and will definitely have an impact. While people across the country are paying attention to the epidemic and concentrating on fighting the epidemic. In order to minimize the interference of the epidemic on normal teaching, the Ministry of Education has launched the "suspension of classes and no learning". In an instant, teachers across the country became anchors overnight and had to learn to use various live broadcast software to teach. As long as the people's teachers go online, all the websites will be paralyzed. The writing board of Moudong was snatched up overnight. The slow-moving teacher could only talk directly by relying on his mouth. Without chalk and blackboard, he could not demonstrate the formula and derivation process, nor could he present the logical relationship and historical evolution of many things. Taking online classes in colleges, middle schools and primary schools, crashing video websites, office apps and cable TV servers...

various jokes are popular on the Internet, some are real jokes, and some are real. Some teachers at Xiantao No. 1 Middle School were criticized for their live broadcast accidents, and some senior professors were inexplicably beautified during the live broadcast process, with red lips, white teeth and white apple muscles. No matter how they look, they feel inconsistent with male professors who are almost 60 years old. What is the first live broadcast that I can't let go of my blushing and shyness, and I can't hold back the heroic release a month later... This is still good, because they can live broadcast after all, and there are still many liberal arts teachers and older teachers who can't play well with the live broadcast equipment at all...

For a moment, in the serious atmosphere of fighting the epidemic, the Ministry of Education set off a small climax of national entertainment teachers. The people who have been banned at home for a long time have finally found an entertainment program that they like. The difference is that the protagonist is the people's teachers who originally made them very afraid and awe. For a time, people's teacher = online anchor, and in the minds of the general public, various versions of YY are constantly being published in various ways...

During this period, as university teachers, we called each other and would greet each other in WeChat: "Is there any class this semester?" When we learned that the other party had no classes, the questioner suddenly felt jealous and sincerely said, "Why are you so lucky?" Yes, why am I so lucky? In fact, everyone can be very lucky. What is the purpose of live broadcast? Do you stop learning if you stop classes? Is learning a way to do it? Is the transfer of knowledge so urgent? As for pushing all teachers to the frontline of live broadcasts, do you study derivation calculations and demonstrations? Are you so anxious to learn knowledge? As for all video websites and live broadcast apps, are they going to play a stand-alone position? The Ministry of Education seemed to have forgotten that just a few days ago, I repeatedly asked for extracurricular tutoring institutions to transfer subject tutoring as quality tutoring. Why did teachers in the system go online to do subject tutoring?

The learning of knowledge is endless. I am afraid that I can only learn a small part of it during this period of fighting the epidemic at home, let alone the learning effect of eight hours of continuous live broadcasts.People's attitude towards knowledge should not be to plunder and possession every minute, but should teach children to think and feel in this era of explosion of knowledge and information, and then distinguish which knowledge should be acquired, which knowledge should be chosen, and what kind of knowledge should be obtained at what nodes should be obtained, and ultimately understand how knowledge can help them understand society and the true face of life. The era of epistemology such as should have long passed. In today's era, people should keep a distance from the transmission of pure knowledge and remain calm, because this is not the whole of life, but just an element of life.

Tao Xingzhi said: "Life is education!" Dewey said: "Education is life." From a pessimistic perspective, the epidemic is indeed a severe test that our country has encountered. But from the perspective of education, this is an excellent opportunity to carry out education, and the epidemic itself is an extremely meaningful educational material. Human beings and disasters themselves are accompanied by each other, and the history of human evolution and evolution is itself a history of disaster evolution. This is the reality of human society. Children need to know this reality, but unfortunately, this time we have successfully avoided this extremely educational opportunity. Even if we cannot return to the classroom and listen to the class honestly, we must fix them in front of the computer, and not let them think about and feel this special section of the country and nation that is of special significance will eventually be written into history.

For a long time, our education has been limited to the transmission of knowledge, ignoring other functions that education should carry, such as human mental development, human thinking cultivation, and human socialization. Education is separated from life and from real life, which has to be said to be a regret of Chinese education. In a peaceful and prosperous era, the problems faced by the country and society can be ignored, but during the national epidemic situation where the country and society are in a state of emergency, students are required to return to books and knowledge rather than integration into life and their motherland. This is the ultimate manifestation of the utilitarian and narrow-minded education. Children trained under this ultimate utilitarian system will still escape, retreat, be anxious, be at a loss, be at a loss, and be despised and keep a cold eye on the country and nation even after being admitted to the Double First-Class University. Here I only admire the opening words of the principal of Chengdu No. 7 Middle School. Today we do not convey knowledge, we only reflect on society. Some people have been buried in winter, and some people should be buried in winter... The words written in ink cannot cover up the facts written in blood... Unfortunately, this post has been deleted.

Still the same thing, learning knowledge is endless, education in real life is fleeting, epidemic is life, life is education, let children feel the relationship between man and nature, let children feel his dear motherland, let children feel this disease, let children feel the atmosphere around them, let children feel the abnormal family life under the epidemic, and there are also families like me, who should let children feel the responsibility and responsibility of parents as medical workers on the front line. All this is life, all this is education.

Let down the live broadcast and educate the social awareness that should be! ! !
