我的教育哲学 什么才是真正的教育？它不是那些仅仅传授考试技巧的应试课堂，而是“一道菜”：一道融入了辛勤的老师，积极的学生，参与其中的家长的佳肴。 标签： 教育 窗体顶端My philosophy of EducationEducation profoundly affects the lives of many people and provides the foundation for a person to establish a plan for their future. Well-educated people can form decisions that benefit both themselves and the interests of their society. A true education doesnt consist of a group of classes containing a series of facts to be used on a test and then forgotten, but contains a series of tools that students use in their everyday lives. A true education is a main dish which should be served in all schools. This dish includes three main ingredients; a hardworking teacher, a motivated student, and involved parents. Without all three ingredients, this dish is useless.The first ingredient is a hardworking teacher. Teachers are the most important part of constituting a true education, but the problem is they arent teaching students what should be taught. According to James Baldwin, a society only wants people who will “simply obey the rules of society,” or believe that whats being taught is always true, but according to Ralph Waldo Emerson, a genius seeks their truth for themselves. Having teachers not teach students the truth enables our society to raise potential geniuses. A teachers behavior should reflect values such as tolerance, compassion, and open-mindedness. Teachers should not try to persuade students with their personal points of view, but an ideal classroom environment is one that allows students to feel free to express individual beliefs.The next ingredient is a motivated student. All students learn differently; therefore, different strategies are needed to help different students gain knowledge of what is being taught, but students are attending school to have fun instead of learning. Why do you think this is happening? According to Leon Botstein, these students are becoming bored with repeating what theyve learned in their previous years. Botstein argues that students should be attending institutions which are dedicated to an activity which they plan on majoring in which could give them a glimpse of the “real world”. This is a great idea. But will it ever happen? When a student graduates from high school, this shows that they are motivated. This relates to having hard working teachers. The teachers must step in and show these students that learning is important. Mrs. Gruwell, in Freedom Writers, exemplifies a perfect way to keep students involved in education. Although these students never wanted to learn, Mrs. G stepped in and showed them that they must learn in order to be successful.Finally, the finishing ingredient: involved parents. Parents are an important ingredient to the true education dish. Parents who arent involved in their childrens education only impede the efforts made by teachers and students to create a true education. These parents are often uninterested with their childrens education as a whole. When a child attends school, the parent should assist the teacher in teaching their child. While at home, the child should be asked constantly, “How was school? Did you learn anything?” This demonstrates an involved parent.The true education dish should be served in schools daily. All three ingredients must be used in order for it to be successful. Once a school serves the true education dish, each students stomachs will be filled with the ability to have a prosperous future and further their education. 教育对于许多人的生活有着深刻影响并为人们将来的发展蓝图打下基础。受到良好教育的人所做出的决策不仅能让自己得到好处还能造福社会。真正的教育不是那种只包涵一系列应试技巧而过后又忘的课堂，真正的教育会传授给学生日常生活的技巧。真正的教育应该像主菜一样提供给每一个学校。这个“主菜”应该包括三种主要“原料”：辛勤工作的老师，积极向上的学生和参与交流的家长。缺少这三种“原料”的教育是毫无意义的。 第一种原料是辛勤工作的老师。老师是构成真正教育的最重要的组成部分，但问题是老师教给学生的并不是他们真正应该传授的东西。根据James Baldwin的观点，社会想要的是那些“单纯遵守社会原则”的或者认为他们所学的东西就是真理的人。但Ralph Waldo Emerson则反驳：天才只会自己去寻找真理。正因为老师没有教授学生真理，我们的社会更需要提升潜在的天才。一个老师的行为举止需要折射出他的天资，仁慈和开明的品质。老师们不应该尝试着规劝学生接受他们自己的观点而是需要营造出一种气氛，一种让所有的学生都可以自由表达他们的观点的气氛。 第二种原料则是积极向上的学生。不同的学生有学习方法，对于不同的学生需要因材施教。但是现在的学生到学校来不是为了学习却是为了玩耍，这种现状是怎么产生的呢？Leon Botstein认为，这是由于学生们已经厌烦重复学习已经教了很多年的老知识。Botstein辩解说，学生应该到那些致力于学生主修专业的学院里学习，在那里他们才能瞥见“真实的世界”。这是个很好的想法，但是这可能会发生吗？学生顺利地从高中毕业能证明他们曾经的努力，同样能反映老师的辛勤工作。老师们需要介入学生的学习，并且让他们认识到学习是非常重要的。自由写作的Gruwell女士成功的找到了使学生参与学习的方法。尽管这些学生从来没有自主学习的想法，但是Gruwell女士强行介入了他们的学习生活并使他们意识到学习知识对于成功来说至关重要。 最后，尾料则是家长的参与其中。家长对于真正的教育是很重要的“原料”。家长不参与子女的教育，只会成为老师学生努力创造真正教育的阻碍。这类家长经常对子女的教育漠不关心。当孩子在学校的时候，他们需要配合老师的教育。孩子回到家以后，他们需要经常询问子女“学习还好吧？”“学到有用的知识了吗？”这样才能体现家长参与了子女的教育。 这道真正教育的“菜”学校应该每天提供。为保证成功，三道原料需要被依次使用。一旦这道菜被学校提供，学生将满腹经纶并拥有用灿烂的未来。My philosophy of EducationEducation profoundly affects the lives of many people and provides the foundation for a person to establish a plan for their future.
