How to reduce the burden of moral education
发布日期:2021/05/07
<p style="line-height: 2em;">In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to moral education, and various documents, guidelines, meetings, seminars, exchanges, topics, training, essay solicitation, competitions, and commendations have come in droves; the education departments and schools themselves have put forward new ideas, plans, projects, and plans on promoting moral education. All of these are of great importance to the improvement of the situation of "speaking is important, doing is secondary, and being busy is necessary". They are also of great help to the improvement of the social status and treatment level of Ideological and political teachers and head teachers.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">This paper is not about whether we should pay attention to moral education, but how we should pay attention to it.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">We know that no matter what a big undertaking or a specific task is, no matter how grand the vision is, the problem of who will do it and how to implement it must be solved in the end. The head teacher is undoubtedly the front-line force and the absolute main force of school moral education. To attach importance to moral education, we should start from caring for and supporting the head teacher. This kind of concern can not only stay in mobilizing everyone to be a class teacher and commending excellent class teachers. It can not only stay in issuing documents and expressing one's position. Taking practical actions in daily work is the touchstone to test whether we attach importance to it or not. At present, the most urgent, direct, valuable, fundamental and overall task is not to increase the allowance and award certificates for class teachers (although incentive is also very important, the marginal effect of incentive will soon appear in the teaching profession), but to reduce the burden of the majority of class teachers.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">I do not know when to start, the head teacher has become a pronoun of trouble, tired, bitter. As a teacher in charge of a class, he has changed from full of passion to step-by-step, from passive to helpless and exhausted. It's hard to be a head teacher. It's hard to find someone to be a head teacher. It's even harder to find an experienced teacher to be a head teacher. As a result, many schools have to entrust the work of head teachers to young teachers who have just left school, or force them to take turns as head teachers, whether appropriate or not. As for the effect, it depends on luck.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">Teachers are engineers of human soul. "Education is a tree shaking another tree, a cloud pushing another cloud, and a soul calling another soul." moral education work needs to turn the spring breeze into rain, moisten things silently, and persist for a long time. In a word, only with "concentration" can we educate people and cultivate good people. It needs not only environment but also mood to concentrate on education. When our head teachers spend their energy on dealing with all kinds of chores, trivia and troubles, dealing with all levels of departments and tasks that are said to be "important" at any time, collecting and sorting out all kinds of trace management materials, and urging students and parents to complete the formalistic "learning" of various propaganda and education platforms, more and more teachers will There is no time, energy and willingness to guide and educate students deeply, calmly and persistently. When the environment does not allow him to turn into a storm, he has no choice but to choose a storm. He has no choice but to "wisely" choose simple and practical, direct surface, deal with the immediate and at least, avoid deduction and accountability.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">The teacher is a mortal with limited ability, he can not solve all the problems of students and their families; the head teacher is certainly not an immortal, he should not be able to cultivate into a thousand hands Guanyin. When there are three forms waiting for him to fill in and two Jielong have not been completed, he does not have the time to study the documents, plans and speech spirit. Facing the students, he does not have much thought to pay attention to strategies, methods and skills. At this time, he is more concerned about whether the materials to be submitted have been submitted, whether the process to be followed has gone, whether various departments of the school will urge him, whether the parents and students will complain about him, or how much the management assessment branch of the class will deduct. In the process of urging, being busy and being afraid, moral education inevitably moves towards dogmatism and formalism, and even loses its vitality and gradually withers. In fact, most of the head teachers are diligent and hardworking. Moral education is highly valued at the top, but in a mess at the bottom, it seems that everyone is right. Everyone is not easy and life is not easy.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">However, is this the original intention of our education? Is it the moral education we want?</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">Therefore, there are three suggestions</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">1、 We will strictly implement the various burden reduction measures issued by the state. In order to purify the campus space, reduce the burden of teachers and students, and improve the quality of education, in recent years, the state has intensively issued various opinions, methods and measures, such as "opinions on deepening the reform of education and teaching and comprehensively improving the quality of compulsory education", "opinions on reducing the burden of primary and secondary school teachers and further creating a good environment for education and teaching", "measures for reducing the burden of primary and secondary school students" (III) 10), "notice on standardizing the management of competitions, naming and commendation activities in the field of basic education", "notice on forbidding harmful apps to enter primary and secondary school campuses", "opinions on further stimulating the vitality of primary and secondary schools", and so on. These measures are all very good. The key is which department and who will supervise, inspect and implement them, and what are the specific consequences if they are not implemented?</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">Education departments, schools and teachers, as the weak side, are obviously unable to resist all kinds of campus activities, especially the front-line teachers and head teachers. Therefore, it is suggested that schools should set up a review organization composed of teachers' representatives, parents' representatives and students' representatives, regularly review and evaluate the transactional work handled by teachers (head teachers), and put forward reasonable suggestions for reducing the burden; it is suggested that local education and relevant government departments should unblock the channels for teachers to reflect the unreasonable burden, so as to account for the people's attitude of being responsible for the country and for the future, so as to solve the problem In line with the measures promulgated by the state, a clear implementation list for teachers (head teachers) to reduce the burden should be issued, inspection and supervision should be strengthened, and the will of the state should be implemented.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">2、 Take the school as the unit, make clear the list of head teacher affairs. Schools are not unlimited liability companies, education is not the master key, teachers also have family and seven emotions and six desires, which should become the consensus of China under the rule of law, rational society and modern schools. It is suggested that school leaders regularly conduct interviews and interviews with class teachers, or implement "school leaders' work experience week", so as to understand the true working conditions of the head teachers, and understand what they are busy with, what they are annoying and what they expect, so as to effectively reduce their decision making, random command and random apportionment. It is an avoidable way of moral education to urge leaders to think a little more when they arrange tasks through documents, meetings, QQ group and wechat group: what is the educational significance of this matter? Is it necessary for the head teacher to do it? Can we use only one person or a few people? Is there a faster and better way to deal with it without bothering the head teacher?</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">On this basis, according to the type, period and actual situation of the school, reasonably delimit the responsibility scope of the head teacher, and establish a relatively scientific task list of the head teacher. Relatively scientific means clear, concise, primary and secondary, that is, not boring.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">3、 Reform the evaluation method of class teacher's work. In order to facilitate management, many schools have implemented quantitative assessment of the work of head teachers. The assessment contents mainly focus on the explicit and transactional work levels, such as cleaning and hygiene, appearance, discipline attendance, early reading and late repair, and submission of materials. This kind of quantitative assessment is more objective and fair, but it can not reflect the essence and whole of the work of the head teacher, especially the recessive and infiltrative part. And inadvertently create a group of good at "brush points" class teacher, that is, what points to do, what to deduct points to cover up what, in short, closely linked to the quantitative scoring table to carry out the work. They are not willing to be with students, to understand and communicate with students in depth, to design and organize theme practice activities meticulously and effectively. They are masters of business work, realists and pragmatists in the school, but they are not necessarily friends of students and guides of students' growth.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">Therefore, it is suggested that quantitative assessment should be carefully used in the work of head teachers. Even if it should be used, the evaluation should focus on the process of guiding students and the actual effect of education.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">In the foreseeable future, head teachers may be nannies, cleaners, firefighters, policemen, judges and housekeepers, but they should act as coaches, directors, guides and pilots. In order to promote moral education, we should liberate class teachers as much as possible, let them have the opportunity to go to battle with light weight, and use good steel on the blade. If a consensus is formed from the top to the bottom that "attaching importance to moral education starts from attaching importance to the head teacher, and attaching importance to the head teacher starts from reducing the burden on the head teacher", the situation of school moral education will be greatly changed - because the vast majority of teachers are willing to calm down to teach and cultivate people.</p><p style="line-height: 2em;">Source: Dandelion review</p><p><br/></p>
