Let’s talk about “public needs”

“Life has its limits, and so does the sea of ??learning. It’s confusing to use a life with a limit to explore a study that has no limit!” Thinking about Zhuang Zhou's words, and then thinking about what I have experienced in the past two days, I can better understand the profound truth and warning significance of this sentence.

As the country strengthens the implementation and advancement of ideological education, the field of education has also launched learning and practice activities for general education courses in the past two years. Publicly required courses, as the name suggests, are courses required by the public. Since it is a course required by the public, it involves the subjects of study, that is, the public required subjects. From the meaning of the concept, public subjects refer to the general knowledge and skills that the country, provinces and municipalities require all professional and technical personnel to master (English and computers are subject to the original regulations and are not included in the registration scope). Through the study of public courses, the basic goal is for all professional and technical personnel to master the knowledge of policies, laws and regulations, basic theories, technology, information and other aspects. Now that it has risen to the national level and has become a national education and learning activity, in order to ensure the smooth development of this learning activity and achieve better results, various types of governments at all levels have issued relevant regulations around this special learning activity. Document to guide and standardize this educational learning activity. According to the guidance requirements of relevant documents, public subjects shall be determined by the human resources and social security departments of the provincial people's government in conjunction with relevant administrative departments and industry organizations, and organized and implemented by the human resources and social security departments of the people's governments at or above the county level. The main task is to make Professional and technical personnel continuously learn new theories, new technologies, new methods, new skills, new information, and new knowledge in conjunction with their own work, improve their knowledge structure, and enhance their innovation capabilities and professional and technical levels.

Judging from the goals and learning content of this educational learning activity, both the starting point and the goals to be achieved are of great benefit to the country, society, and even individuals. The reason why it is so qualitative stems from its rich curriculum and the expansion of diverse knowledge territories. At the same time, because the object of this educational study is "all professional and technical personnel", on the one hand it covers a wide range of areas, and on the other hand it is also very helpful in improving the academic quality of professional and technical personnel. In addition, because the online learning method is adopted and the cycle lasts for a long time, learners can make arrangements and plans for their learning based on their actual situation. From this perspective, this nationwide, full-coverage theoretical learning activity is very necessary.

Obviously, through theoretical analysis, we can clearly find that online learning of this kind of knowledge-based public courses has positive significance for both individuals and the collective. However, when the theoretical things return to reality, are extrapolated from reality, and implemented in concrete terms, we truly discover that "the ideal is very full, the reality is too skinny" is not only a literary writing and expression, but also has a pertinent perspective on the cruel reality. of revealing meaning. It is true that the original intention of the top-level design is good, but once it enters the real field and is evaluated by mundane affairs, it is difficult for beautiful ideas to take root and bear fruit. The reason why there is a deviation between imagination and reality is due to the squeeze of complex life situations. As far as the coverage of this project is concerned, according to the requirements of the document, it should affect all parts of the country and all walks of life, because the subject of study is "all professional and technical personnel." Just imagine, although they all have the same occupational attribute - professional and technical personnel, due to the different attributes of the work they do, and the different environments and conditions in which they work, they are able to learn or have different needs for learning. For example, those outdoor workers who live in the vast Gobi desert, because of the nature of field work, it is difficult for them to have a quiet place to study. If strict requirements are imposed across the board, it will be difficult to achieve the expected goals.

Lifelong learning is a quality that everyone should have, but for professionals, the most basic role is to play three roles - people in life, people at work and people in society. In this case, different roles should bear different responsibilities and handle different things. After all, a person's time and energy are limited. When they have completed their responsibilities, there are not many 24 hours left, and they basically have no time and energy to study.

Once active learning becomes compulsory learning, its nature changes, and it is difficult to achieve a win-win situation with such learning results. Furthermore, there is specialization in the art industry, which is the goal pursued by professional people. Since it is a specialization, after professionals complete the work at hand, they can spend their spare time on learning the knowledge and theory of their profession. This kind of independent charging will play a greater role. Examined according to the standards of practicality and utility, immediate usefulness is a universal principle of doing things. Under the framework of this principle, under the circumstances of limited time and energy, what education and learning do is the same as what professionals do. Get as close as possible to universal recognition. However, looking at the subjects offered each time, although there are many to choose from, it is difficult to meet the requirements of each department. Many learning contents are not closely related to their own occupations, which makes it difficult to mobilize learners' enthusiasm for learning. The result of this is that in order to complete their learning tasks, obtain a certificate of completion, and obtain the necessary credits for promotion and salary increase, many people can only find ways to use the most convenient learning method. As for how much new knowledge has been gained through learning, how much insight has been gained, and how much horizons have been broadened, it can only be said that "you know what you gain and what you lose."

"Need" means need, and the objects it refers to are different. However, from the original intention of carrying out educational learning, the learners it pays more attention to are measured by how much they gain and how much they grow. However, the reality has seriously deviated from the expected results. It is no exaggeration to say that through this form of learning, very few learners actually receive the desired results. The reason for reaching such a conclusion is not based on imagination, but based on reality. Because the time requirement is too long, usually more than 2,000 minutes, few people can listen carefully to the expert's professional lectures; because they are busy with life and work, no one has full time to study seriously, and most of them are videos. Speaking of yours, I'm busy with mine and don't interfere; because a lot of the learning content is not closely related to the work I'm doing, and few people are willing to spend time on it. If they have free time, they would rather do things they are interested in; because of the format of the examination It is open, and the resources can be shared freely, so that the exam will not be challenging... Yes, this perfunctory attitude is not only irresponsible for education and learning, but also irresponsible for oneself. However, for the sake of livelihood and life, in a living situation where practicality and utilitarianism are paramount, adopting this attitude is also a matter of necessity. Although the learning results are contrary to expectations, the teacher who is the cultivator of the process will not care about this. For them, after receiving the task, completing what they should do as required, and getting the hard-earned money they deserve, that's it. The rest has nothing to do with them.

"Public demand" is understood in a certain sense, and it may be more appropriate to use "*** demand". The "***" here refers to both learners and teachers, as well as the competent department responsible for this educational activity. Judging from the entire process and final results, the "needs" of every relevant party are realized - managers help learners complete learning tasks by providing platforms and resources, which can be regarded as their own administrative achievements; learners learn through , complete learning tasks, pass exams and get certificates and hours; teachers get their due rewards through their honest labor: killing three birds with one stone, everyone is happy.

After thinking about it, the actual effectiveness of this nearly universal learning activity is indeed a question worthy of reflection. Since a thing or a project consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, the actual results should be given top priority. If it is just for a formality, and it may seem lively and lively on the surface, but the result is miserable, it is better to do it as little as possible, or even not do it at all. We need to learn, and to achieve what we want, we should get rid of the mentality of seeking greatness and perfection by casting a wide net. The slicing design is determined by the industry, and it is short and concise. Only in this way can we see practical results and gain something. In an era where social division of labor is becoming increasingly refined, there is an urgent need for omniscient and omnipotent talents, but the general environment of the times makes it difficult to create such talents. In this case, it is better to break it into parts, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and "prescribe the right medicine" according to industry conditions!
