爱与认识:对儿童教育顺应时代变迁的追问

Affection and Cognition:the Inquiry of Children Education Conforming to the Changing Times

关爱儿童是教育的永恒主题。洛克主张健康是儿童事业发展和人生幸福的基础;良好的道德品质是成为绅士的关键;授之以渔胜过授之以鱼。以洛克的儿童教育思想反观当前儿童教育,存在着追求成绩"晕轮",忽略儿童健康教育;过分溺爱,造成儿童个性成长的偏差;品德教育形式化,理论与实践脱节等问题。因此,我们应重视儿童健康,关注儿童身心发展;改进品德教育方法,及早培养儿童的良好习惯;遵循儿童教育理念,给予儿童恰当的关爱,使儿童健康成长。

Caring for children is the eternal theme for education. Locke argues that health is the foundation of children＇s career development and life happiness ; the good moral quality is the key to become a gentleman ; teach to fish is better than giving him fish. In contrast, We can find that there are some problems in the present children＇s education. First, people pay more attention to pursuing high marks, thus ignoring the children＇s health. Second, parents overindulge their children, due to the deviation of children＇s personalized development. Third, our moral education cares more forms than contents, which leads to the disconnection between theory and practice. To response, we should pay abundant attention both on physical and mental development, improve the methods of moral education to cultivate children＇ s good habits as early as possible, follow the concept of children＇ s education and give appropriate care to make them grow up healthily.
