Education is a hundred-thousand-year plan.This not only involves the inheritance of knowledge, but also bears the burden of continuing civilization at a deeper level.
Education always faces two sets of knowledge systems: scientific knowledge system and ideological education system.The connotations of these two systems support and transform each other at some level to form a more organic whole.
Education is an organic whole, which needs to be systematically considered in time and space and methodological system.
First, a person's growth and absorption of knowledge takes time to accumulate.This needs to match the cognitive and logical systems of the educated, with both advancement and lag problems.Therefore, we need to consider a person's educational process from time to time.In fact, this is not easy to achieve in reality.For example, in our current education system, there is a big gap between the purpose of college entrance examinations below high school and the purpose of adult knowledge education above college.Integrated education is important, but it is difficult to make substantial progress in two separate systems.From the perspective of parents, students can increase their knowledge, but do not affect the college entrance examination results.This puts a lot of pressure on innovative education at the high school level from the beginning.In general, practical education for the purpose of college entrance examination is "100".In this linear thinking mode, the success of the college entrance examination is "1", and innovation education is "00".No, the rest is 00.
In the time dimension, it is ultimately necessary to promote lifelong education and connect education, otherwise the flow of water will become an occasional cutoff.Before reaching the East China Sea, the half way was evaporated or intercepted.
In space, from high school to college to later work, different spaces represent different cultural systems, and new spaces represent new challenges.It is necessary to follow the customs of the countryside, but also to maintain their own unique advantages, for new spaces and new systems into their own fresh thinking.
In terms of methodology, everyone eventually has to solve the problem, not just to get a high score on the test.This is especially true at the graduate level and beyond.As mentors, we ask students to discover problems and solve problems, even if they score 100 points in all subjects, they are not a qualified graduate student without innovative ideas in scientific research.In the military, the paper talk is even more dangerous.There are many tools and methods we need to solve the problem, and the ability to choose and find the best solution is the most important point to pay attention to in cultivation.
Problem-oriented development of students' abilities may sound tempting, but it comes down to the continuity of time and the question of lifelong students.The ability to solve problems is not overnight, it takes a long time of knowledge accumulation and training to form an innovative thinking pattern, in order to solve problems in a scientific and logical way.Among them, the core is the knowledge base and innovative thinking, both of which are indispensable.
Without knowledge-based thinking innovation, the probability is a simple innovation model that cannot penetrate deep into the bone marrow and solve real problems.Too conservative, not innovative, it's hard to keep up with the needs of the times.
In the actual education system, these two foundations are actually like a DNA spiral, growing together and moving in both directions.Or two legs walking, one leg short, into a "jump" mode, lack of hindsight.
From the above discussion, we can conclude that the essence of educational innovation is actually how to strike a balance between basic knowledge and innovative thinking.This is bound to be viewed on a longer scale, and arguing about a few years of university education alone will not produce the results we want.As long as lifelong learning is maintained, on a longer time scale, knowledge and innovative thinking will gradually fit in and achieve win-win results.
In fact, this phenomenon is very common in Arabic.One revolution around the sun is not the standard 365 days, but 365.25 days.That said, after a year, we didn't really get back to where we started.However, after four years of reincarnation, we will have one more day, and after 4*365 days, we will really fit together and return to the original position, which is reflected in the ancient Egyptian calendar.
In university innovation education, we basically have three atmospheres: traditional, innovative and centrist.The point of contention is, in fact, what I mentioned above, "the lack of a longer spatial-temporal perspective on this issue."Conservatives believe that the current innovators are too innovative and ignore the consolidation of basic education.Innovators, on the other hand, criticized conservative Taiwan's traditional education model as too subjective, high-scoring and low-energy, and would not solve the problem.The centrist wanders between the two views, vacillating.
The space-time pattern is the best solution to this dispute.
Connecting the space-time landscape is the ability to learn for life, otherwise, whether conservative or innovative, will become one-legged walking.
Lack of space-time pattern, conservative and reformist education will encounter difficulties in the process of practice.
Conservative education models rely on traditional science subjects and faculties, limited to a particular major, step by step, the advantage is that they are more mature and the results are more predictable.At the very least, many current innovators accept the educational model itself as a traditional model.
Innovators will have more problems because of the new and many that are not fully predictable.Let me list some common problems.
Lack of innovative teachers.Teachers trained on the basis of traditional models to design innovative educational models encounter great challenges in themselves.Some patterns and practices will belong to touching the stone across the river.
Innovative teacher growth path.In traditional universities, teacher growth involves both education and research, the latter of which is often more important than the former.In most academic conferences, the exchange is actually scientific research.In the innovative education system, teachers pay attention to educational innovation and lack of systematic improvement of their own scientific research.Under the current system, after a period of time, innovative teachers will encounter great problems of promotion and academic voice, which greatly damage the reputation of the school.
Challenges from traditional models.The challenge is two-way.Whether the new model can be recognized by the traditional world takes time and a lot of work to confirm and adapt.
Lack of wise leaders.In order for innovation to succeed, enthusiasm alone is not enough, and a truly intelligent leader is needed.Otherwise, in the process of innovation, they will create more problems and difficulties.
Resource difficulties.At the beginning of innovation, small scale, innovation resources are not the main problem.Over time, the resource challenges required for innovation will emerge.After all, what traditional education solves is to provide educational opportunities for more people at a certain cost.Innovative education can be costly.
There are just a few questions above, but they are much more than that.
In any case, conservatives and innovators are both sides of the same coin, both sides of the same coin.No one is missing, win-win is the way out.Two in one, on a longer time scale, can understand the nature of education.Otherwise, blind people can't teach students the ability to continue learning, and at each stage, they will only see trees and not see the forest.
