If you don't cultivate your hands-on ability when you are young, you can't move your hands when you grow up?

# Education # Introduction Practical ability is an important aspect of people's all-round development and one of the important training goals of education. However, due to historical and practical reasons, China has long neglected the cultivation of practical ability of primary and secondary school students. The development of modern science and technology puts forward higher requirements for people's practical ability. Cultivating primary school students' practical ability is an important content of cultivating children's survival ability. Primary school students' learning can not be separated from specific practical activities. One of the characteristics of the newly compiled primary school textbooks is to attach importance to intuitive teaching and increase the content of hands-on practical activities and hands-on operations. Therefore, hands-on has become an important part of classroom teaching. The following is to sort out the relevant content for everyone.

First, the deviation caused by historical reasons and social orientation.

China's tradition itself does not attach importance to labor education and the cultivation of practical ability. China used to be a hierarchical society, focusing on people's identity and status. In that era when the development of productive forces is limited, surplus products are scarce, and there is no competitive evaluation system, only by gaining higher social status and status than others can a person obtain better living conditions than others. For thousands of years, there has been a tradition that "China's status as an ideal gentleman is so high that he doesn't need to produce. They can enjoy a retirement life and engage in elegant activities symbolizing this retirement life. People respect people who have fun, not people who do better than others in special affairs that are too busy. " (Excerpted from Fei Zhengqing's "America and China") This social tradition can only focus on looking down on manual labor, thinking that manual labor is the work of despicable people, and at the same time losing even the minimum viability. China observers in the United States see this more clearly than the China people themselves. When Puyi served his sentence in prison in the second half of his life, he didn't even wear clothes at first, which is a comment on the above content. People with high status are served in their daily lives and do it by themselves without any effort.

At the same time, people with culture in society are also very helpless. "No talent is a scholar", many scholars disdain and can't do it. Literati can't make a living by their own culture, and they can't even maintain a minimum life. But that's it, or "everything is inferior, only reading is high." Lu Xun's Kong Yiji is the most accurate description of scholars in this context. The life of a scholar who has no other way out is the worst, and it is even difficult to make a living. The cultivation of children's self-care ability and practical ability is also despised by this tradition.

Similarly, traditional private schools do not attach importance to labor education. The object of traditional education-finally, the literati, "Therefore, the literati attach great importance to the symbol of their academic status: wearing robes and paying attention to the etiquette in their lives, so that they have no time to engage in physical exercise." (Fei Zhengqing's America and China) As the economic base of the whole country, the working people only live as the bottom of society. In this case, producers and workers are always in a subordinate and low position. It is the object of being squeezed and exploited, and its lifetime legacy is often only fatigue and poverty. The final result of this social reality leads us to look down on workers and producers, and look down on the skills and qualities needed by workers and producers, resulting in children's lack of self-care ability and hands-on ability. Even today, there are still such potential ideas. This is one of the reasons why families and schools do not attach importance to the cultivation of students' self-care ability. Even if the times are different now, the change of ideas is still a very difficult process, and people are often bound by traditional ideas in many places in the subconscious.

Second, the deviation of family education.

Family is the main place to cultivate children's self-care ability and practical ability. However, today's family education is not ideal. A survey found that parents have three attitudes towards the cultivation of children's self-care ability and habits, with great deviation: First, they spoil their children too much to let them do it themselves; Second, considering the children's young age and poor ability, it is not too late to study later; The third is fear of trouble. Instead of letting the child learn slowly, it is better to do it for him. It is a problem that many parents fail to provide self-care education for their children in time, or simply arrange it instead to solve the problem. In this case, children lack learning opportunities, and in the process of learning, they are afraid of difficulties because of lack of encouragement and guidance from their parents. Parents' self-psychology suppresses children's demand for self-care and hinders the smooth activities of children's self-care experience. Therefore, children's enthusiasm for self-care life will be high, but their self-care ability is very low.

1. Overindulgence. Now most of them are only children, and children have become the "center" of the whole family. Many primary school students are "guaranteed by their parents" in their lives, and 6-year-old children will not cry if their shoelaces are loose. 9-year-old children can't wear clothes and joke about underwear as a coat; 10-year-old children want their mothers to feed them. These are not individual examples, and some are even common. Because many parents raise their children in the way of parents mentioned at the beginning, we can see some extreme examples every year, and each child has these poor abilities to varying degrees. Some parents have no time to take care of their children, so they give them to their grandparents. Giving them adequate care does more harm than good, because almost all grandparents spoil their children more easily than their parents. If grandparents' cultural quality is not high and their psychological quality is not good, they simply do not have the "qualification" to educate their grandchildren, then the children educated in this way lack the ability to take care of themselves and live, and even have a big deviation.

2. Intellectual education comes first. For the ultimate goal-to be admitted to a university or a good university, students have been studying nervously since childhood, learning this, learning that, taking this test and taking that test. . Many parents devote all their love, extra energy and a lot of money to their children. But the center of investment is generally children's intellectual investment, and few people invest in other aspects of children, especially their practical ability and practical operation ability. I have been squeezed out of rest and play time since I was a child, in order to get high marks in the future. In order to save time for children, intense study also makes the time for children to take care of their own lives and do things extravagant, and students have no more time to do these things. Many things are replaced by parents. When talking with parents, the most common and easy communication is children's study. No parents can mention other aspects of their children. When it comes to asking children to do more housework at home, parents almost always emphasize that we don't expect him to do this and that at home. As long as the child studies well, we are grateful and don't need him to do anything. Children's habit of reaching for clothes and opening their mouths is "cultivated" by their parents, providing them with all-inclusive services. Lost children's hands-on ability and self-care ability, thus losing children's social adaptability, self-creation ability, sense of responsibility and obligation.

3. The sensitivity of children's hands-on operation is reduced. In the book "Little Doudou by the Window", 8-year-old Doudou thinks that playing is to drill a fence. So that the shorts are torn by the fence every day, but mother never scolds her, no matter what the reason, let the children have fun. If this were in China, it would be incredible.

When I was a freshman, I did an experiment: How many students in three classes tied their shoelaces? The survey results are: 13 people, totaling 160 people. Look at their shoes again. Only five people are wearing shoes with laces. What does this result mean? It shows that our students' practical ability is really poor, and they don't even have the minimum ability to take care of themselves. After I spent a class teaching how to tie my shoelaces, there are still many children who can't tie their shoelaces because their hands-on ability is so poor that it is too difficult for them to learn some operational skills. The teacher can't teach it with great effort. Although most students think learning this is very new, some students learn it quickly, but some children who usually lack training and some children with low operational sensitivity have a dull expression when the teacher teaches shoelaces and have not learned it for a long time. Some very simple and basic movements taught by the teacher made him feel very difficult. Because they seldom have the opportunity to do these things and have little training, children don't realize that they have to learn to do these things, which is their most basic skill and the foundation of life. From the root, this is also the result of parents neglecting labor education.

If parents pay attention to cultivating their children's hands-on operation ability from an early age and can satisfy their children's hands-on, it will be much easier for children to learn various sports skills in the future. A mother used a kitchen knife to cut things when her daughter was 3 ~ 4 years old, especially when cutting watermelon skin. As a result, her children became interested in cooking and cutting vegetables when they were older, and sometimes they could solve the problem of eating by themselves. Children are generally more flexible and creative when doing manual work, and the things they make are more exquisite. It is also easy to train children's other self-care abilities.

Children who lack the ability to take care of themselves are also poor in independent learning and problem-solving after entering school, and are prone to setbacks and failures. The development of children's self-care ability will directly or indirectly affect the development of their psychological quality to varying degrees. Such as: independence, operational ability, self-control ability, etc. This has greatly affected their future development in all aspects.

Third, the deviation of school education.

Schools ignore the cultivation of hands-on operation ability. The current situation of school education is mainly intellectual education, and the resources and time spent by the school on cultivating students' self-care ability are relatively limited.

The experience of a teacher in the last math class fully explained this point: he prepared a class of land area units on the playground: measuring tools such as tape measure, benchmark and rope, and the students couldn't wait to line up and come to the playground, showing rare happiness on their faces. After that, the teacher talked about the common tools for measuring land: tape measure, post, rope, and what tools to use under what circumstances. Let the students try to measure the distance between the two ends on the playground with the tools above. Ask the students to measure the distance between the poles at both ends of the playground with a tape measure under the guidance of the teacher. But at this time, I found that many students didn't know how to measure the distance with a tape measure. There are also many people who can't read the scale on the tape measure.

I can't even operate the most basic subjects, let alone other ones.

I attended a lecture by a Japanese scholar in a private school. The scholar said that he didn't quite understand the children in kindergartens in China, because Japanese children had to change five sets of clothes a day when they went to kindergartens, and all day, Japanese children only played and didn't study. But in China, this is impossible. But in China, these are very difficult to do. In kindergarten, the courses are also reading, painting, singing, writing and calculating, which take up more time. When playing, I mainly watch TV and play with building blocks, but I don't have much training on self-care ability and hands-on operation ability. Let alone elementary school. Take the third grade of an ordinary primary school as an example. There are 7 Chinese classes, 4 math classes, 2 physical education, music and art classes, 2 moral and social classes, 1 labor and technology classes every week. Others include self-study classes, newspaper reading and writing classes, extracurricular activities and so on. The courses that can be used for students' practical ability and action ability are mainly physical education, fine arts, morality and society, but there is not much time and training in these courses to improve students' action ability. All day is intense study, which sometimes takes up students' rest and play time. As the most important labor and technology, there are not many conditions for students to practice, and most of the time they are on paper. I once taught third-grade students to fold clothes, and found that very few students can really fold clothes, less than one tenth, and they think they can fold clothes, but they are not necessarily. In the case of insufficient teachers, in order to ensure the teaching quality of cultural courses, the school cut off the course of Labor and Technology.

Therefore, students have no free space and time in school, and there is no effective hands-on training. Both preschool education and primary education are based on intellectual education, and the daily study of reading, writing and remembering takes up most of the students' time. There is no place to work in the school, and there are few places. It greatly reduces students' sensitivity to operation and hands-on ability.

What is the ultimate goal of education?

In this curriculum reform, the Ministry of Education pointed out in the Outline of Basic Education Curriculum Reform (Trial): "It is a process of acquiring basic knowledge and skills, but also a process of learning to learn and forming correct values by changing the tendency of curriculum to pay too much attention to knowledge transmission and emphasizing the formation of a proactive learning attitude." It is emphasized that the function of the course should be changed from simply paying attention to imparting knowledge to embodying and guiding students to learn to study, learn to live and learn to be a man. Let children adapt to society, life, be responsible for themselves and their own lives. Some sociologists, behaviorists and experts in children's education at Harvard University in the United States have followed up more than 400 children in Boston for 20 years. It is found that compared with children who don't like hands-on, children with strong hands-on ability have an unemployment rate of 1: 15, a crime rate of 1: 10, and their average income is about 20% higher. This seems to prove that practical ability is closely related to children's success from one side, and it also inspires us to understand the role of practical ability in children's growth in a broader sense.

Learning to live is to have the minimum practical ability and self-care ability. This will not change at any time. With the continuous improvement of parents' understanding of family education and the deepening of curriculum reform, I think it is possible to gradually change the above situation, so that everyone can finally develop and get the life they want.
