What is the end point of education?

Education is the process of transforming the object of education from a natural person into a mentally sound person and a normal person in a civilized society through means such as awakening, igniting, and demonstrating. In addition to a healthy body, a normal social person must also have good habits, clear responsibilities and correct values, etc. These are the end of education. One of the end points: good habits. Mr. Ye Shengtao said: \”What is education? To put it simply, in one sentence, it is to develop good habits. In terms of moral education, we must develop good habits in dealing with others and working; in terms of intellectual education, we must develop good habits. , we should develop good habits of seeking knowledge and familiar skills; in terms of sports, we should develop good habits of protecting and promoting health. \”What kind of habits are good? Good habits can fully develop talents, good habits can do things properly, and good habits can benefit the public. The more habits are developed, the more capable that person becomes. According to Ye Lao, there are many good habits that people need to develop in their lives, which can be roughly divided into two categories: one is good living habits. Lifestyle habits cover all aspects of dealing with people, such as diet, daily life, exercise and labor, etc. Good living habits are mainly cultivated by the family, and should be cultivated sooner rather than later. For example, the eating habit of \”eating without making a sound\” should be developed in the family since childhood. If you don\’t pay attention to this little habit when you are young, it will be difficult to change it when you grow up. A person with good living habits will be welcomed all over the world. Another category is good study habits. Study habits include previewing, listening attentively, taking notes at any time, giving timely feedback and summarizing, etc. The development of study habits mainly depends on teachers, and teachers need to be conscious and methodical. For example, the habit of reading and taking notes requires teachers to remind them frequently and clearly tell students, “If you don’t read without using pen and ink,” and “Good memory is not as good as bad notes.” There are two habits that must be developed in study habits. One is the habit of studying by oneself, and the other is the habit of reading at any time. With these two learning habits, you will have continuous learning ability. After leaving school, you can continue to learn from society and books. A person with good living and study habits will naturally highlight his overall quality. There is a critical period for the development of good habits. According to relevant research, the first and second grade of elementary school are the critical period for the cultivation of study habits; the third and fourth grade are the key period of discipline differentiation; the third and fourth grade of elementary school, the second grade of junior high school, and the second grade of high school are the critical period for the development of logical thinking. The primary school stage is a critical period for memory development and the golden age of memory; the junior high school stage is a critical period for meaningful memory. To seize the critical period and cultivate good habits in children, in addition to the role of family education, schools must do a lot of in-depth and meticulous work to let children understand the importance of the critical period. There are many ways and paths to develop good habits. The key is that families and schools should meet each other halfway and persevere. First, the development of good habits must be integrated into children\’s daily life and study, paying attention to the details of life, especially those aspects that are prone to behavioral problems. Second, the development of good habits should not be too cumbersome. The author once visited a primary school. The principal talked with great interest about the school\’s implementation of nurturing education and its focus on cultivating students.Various habits. The principal listed a total of 124 habits that students need to develop in school. It\’s so complicated, it\’s like going crazy. It is difficult for students to remember to do it, and it can also be annoying and create a rebellious mentality, making it difficult to stick to a good thing. Third, the development of good habits focuses on demonstration and leadership. There is an entry in the ancient Chinese education dictionary that “teaching by example is more important than teaching by words.” In family education, parents require their children to read more. If you can take the lead in setting an example and spend your free time at home reading, your children will stay away from TV and games and read with their elders. In school education, teachers’ role as role models will affect students’ lives. Mr. Ye said: \”If you want students to be good, teachers must first be good; if you want students to be bad, teachers must first be bad. This is leading by example.\” Endpoint Two: Clear Responsibility 2015 , UNESCO proposed in the \”Education 2030 Action Framework\”: \”Education should not only cultivate students\’ cognitive abilities, but also cultivate them to identify and manage emotions, care for others, make responsible decisions, and establish positive interpersonal relationships. And social-emotional abilities such as coping skillfully with challenging situations. \”The responsible decision-making ability mentioned here means respecting others when making decisions, considering ethical standards, safety issues, reasonable social norms, and possible consequences, and making decisions. Skills are applied in learning and work to contribute to social progress. The basic responsibility of teachers is to let students learn to exercise citizens\’ rights responsibly. This requires clearly informing students in the daily education process: rights and responsibilities are equivalent, and to exercise rights well, you must first assume responsibility. Responsibility manifests itself as responsibility towards oneself. Countless facts show that the essential quality of a mentally sound person is to be responsible for oneself. This is first of all to be responsible for one\’s own life. Life is precious. It is only once for everyone and will never happen again. Therefore, only by cherishing life can it be possible to fulfill one\’s responsibility. Secondly, you are responsible for your own words and deeds. Since through education, people become normal people in a civilized society, you must regulate your own words and deeds in social life, so that others can feel happy and happy because of your existence. Again, it is necessary to sharpen a strong heart and face the suffering in life. There is a saying that there are often eight or nine unsatisfactory things in life. We cannot always focus on the \”eight or nine\” unsatisfactory things, but we should pay more attention to the \”one or two\” things that are satisfactory. The second is responsibility to the family. The family is the cell of society. Only when every cell is healthy can the society be healthy. Since everyone is born to parents and raised by family, they must shoulder the responsibilities of the family. The first lesson Suhomlinsky taught students in his Pavlesh school was \”Love your mother.\” Someone asked why, and he said that the one the child is closest to and can understand best is the mother who loves him. Responsibility for the family is reflected in studying hard, exercising hard, and striving to be a person with comprehensive and harmonious development of morality, intelligence, body, beauty, and labor during the student years. When you enter society as an adult, fall in love, get married, and start a family, you will try your best to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband or wife, respect your elders, and enjoy your old age peacefully.Raise your children to grow up healthily. The third is responsibility to society and the country. What is the meaning of life? In addition to doing a good job in family construction, an important aspect is to contribute to social progress and national development. How can we do this? First of all, we must establish the awareness that there is no high or low profession. No matter what position you are in, you can do what you do, love what you do, be diligent in learning, good at reflection, and fully enjoy the enrichment and fun brought by your career; secondly, everyone must work with you in their own position. Keep pace with the times, pioneer and innovate, do your job to the best, and maximize the value of life. This is the success of education. Endpoint Three: Correct Values ​​Values ​​are the cognition, understanding, judgment or choice based on people\’s certain thinking and senses. It is also a kind of thinking or orientation by which people identify things and judge right and wrong, thus embodying people and things. , a certain value or function of something. Human values ​​​​are characterized by stability and durability, history and selectivity, and subjectivity. I remember Harvard President Drew Gilpin Foster once said this: \”The purpose of education is to ensure that students can recognize that someone is talking nonsense.\” In real life, people may fabricate some content themselves in order to show the completeness of the information they have received. There are also people who have good intentions for you and don’t want you to know the cruel truth; there are also people who are unable to tell the whole truth out of larger and deeper considerations; there are also people who may deliberately lead you in the wrong direction. , in order to achieve its ulterior purpose. For some teenagers, it is a time when youth is at its peak, self-awareness is awakening and expanding, and there is rebellious emotion. However, children in this period have very immature outlook on life, world view and values, which requires education to guide them correctly. How to establish correct values? The first is to always have compassion. On the memorial wall of the Roosevelt Memorial Park in the United States, there is a presidential quote: To measure our progress, we should not just look at what we have brought to the rich, but also what basic guarantees we have provided to the poor. One day, when our parents are pushed into the hospital, they will be cared for even if they are penniless. And our children are sent to school and treated equally no matter where they come from. Only in this way can I call this my motherland! Roosevelt\’s words are very reasonable. The civilization and progress of a country is not about tall buildings and busy traffic, but about whether every ordinary person has the minimum dignity and happiness from birth to death! The second is to always be grateful. Our parents give us life, everything in the world allows us to survive, and we often meet noble people on the road of life, allowing us to maximize the value of life. We must always keep these in mind, and always remember to give back to society. The third is to continuously improve thinking ability. Faced with a massive amount of information, we need to educate students to ask three questions first: Is this matter based on common sense? Rooted in humanity? Is it logical? Make your own judgment after thinking in this way, so that the \”giant baby phenomenon\” will not occur. Teach them how to effectively identify when someone is talking nonsense, so as to protect themselves, establish correct values, and embark on a positive life path. This is the true ultimate goal of educationmark.
