First, the moral education-oriented teaching content
Confucius' educational content is six arts: ceremony, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and number. Including morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, focusing on moral education. It can be seen that his educational content is consistent with the concept of "moral education first, practicality first" that we advocate at present.
Years of experience in running a school have proved the importance of moral education. 2500 years ago, Confucius believed that education should start with being a man. First of all, be ambitious; Secondly, be strict with yourself and be lenient with others; Third, persevere in doing things and match words with deeds; Fourth, learn to introspect; Fifth, we must correct our mistakes. These principles of life are still the minimum moral standards that we should follow. Every teacher should not only teach students knowledge and skills, but also infiltrate moral education into every class. Only in this way can our students become qualified workers.
Second, the teaching principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude
Confucius had many students, each with different qualifications and nature. How can we educate these people into useful people?
Confucius' method is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The key to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is to have a profound and comprehensive understanding of students, accurately grasp the characteristics of students in all aspects, and then carry out targeted education.
Confucius paid great attention to observing and studying students. His methods include "listen to what he says and watch what he does", "see what it is, see what it is, see what it is safe for, how can people waste it, and how can people be thin." That is, through observation and dialogue with students to fully understand. Because of this, Confucius knew the characteristics and personalities of his students very well. Therefore, Confucius' education and teaching can be carried out according to students' actual level and personality characteristics.
Confucius' method of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is still the teaching principle that our basic education should follow. This requires that every teacher should not only be as good at observing and understanding students as Confucius, but also use modern means as much as possible to master students' psychological laws and characteristics, carry out teaching activities more pertinently, and cultivate every student into useful materials.
Third, the teaching methods of inspiration and induction
Heuristic education is the most important educational thought of Confucius. In his long-term educational practice, he realized that in order for students to acquire profound knowledge, they must rely on their conscious thinking and give full play to their main role. So he concluded that "if you are not angry, you will not be angry, if you are not angry, you will not be angry, and you will not lift a corner or a triangle." "The famous paper. That is: if a person doesn't study hard, I will enlighten him; I won't guide a person to a deeper level unless he is confused about his own efforts.
It is not difficult to see that the spirit of Confucius' heuristic education is that students must be given the initiative in learning, with the aim of developing students' thinking and making them draw inferences from one another; Teachers only play a leading role in educational activities, that is, guide and inspire students purposefully.
His heuristic education method is very enlightening to our present basic education. In our class, there are still some teachers who are "full", and students have no room to think and have no time to learn and digest by themselves. In the classroom, "subject" becomes "object" and students become containers for passively accepting knowledge. Teachers have completely become the center of teaching activities. This is really against the teaching rules. We should learn and understand Confucius' heuristic education thought, pay attention to students' learning like Confucius, inspire and induce, and reflect students' subjectivity.
Fourth, the teaching art of entertaining.
"Learning from time to time is not as good as learning from time to time." It is pointed out that learning is a happy thing. He regards music as the highest accomplishment in academic research. He is good at cultivating students' interest in learning and always skillfully introduces students into fascinating situations to make them feel beautiful. He makes students interested in learning and willing to learn by the following methods.
Establishing a good relationship between teachers and students and paying attention to democratic teaching are the prerequisites for happy learning. Confucius loves students very much and has a very harmonious relationship with them. He never puts on airs as a teacher, always discusses problems with students on an equal footing, and can also put down his airs and learn from his students. His teaching attitude is modest, democratic, sincere and friendly, and the teaching atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The second is positive praise and encouragement, which is an important means for students to enjoy learning. Confucius is always good at praising and encouraging students. Even if he criticizes students, he is always kind and never hurts students' self-esteem. In this way, his students always love learning, are enthusiastic and willing to learn.
