Reading Notes on "The Secret of Finland's No.1 Education in the World"

? The secret of Finland's number one education in the world is the works of Taiwan Province writer Chen Zhihua. As a parent of two daughters, she visited schools in Finland and participated in teaching and research through her children's schooling process and personal experience. This book is a comprehensive understanding and in-depth interpretation of Finnish education after her personal observation and visit, which brings us heartfelt shock, emotion and recognition.

? I looked at the cover of this book, and the striking words "1, an educational bestseller" aroused my curiosity. I can't wait to open the cover, which briefly introduces the "miracle education of Finland's conquest of the world": see the tree and the forest, see the forest first and see the tree again. Starting children's interest and understanding of the whole subject "forest" first is far better than repeating the detailed knowledge and standard movements of trees, grinding, grinding and grinding! Life is a marathon. Life is really not a sprint to win at the starting point, but a marathon to race with yourself. Learning is not to win the championship and the first place, but to cultivate the ability and habit of lifelong learning. Don't pretend to start unfair competition. All evaluations and exams are designed to let students know where they need to improve. The purpose of the exam is not to bring frustration and punishment to children, but to let children and teachers know their understanding of the subject, and finally let everyone make progress together. Teachers are equally good, so there is no need to evaluate them: "equality, high quality and justice" are constantly emphasized in Finnish education. Teachers in Finland have the highest trust in the education system. Everything they do is good for students and beneficial to them, not to let students or their teaching achievements take the first place. Do not emphasize "elite", but everyone is "elite". The education system does not take the lead, does not encourage or rank, and hopes to implement relative "equality" as the most basic consideration of education administration. After all, geniuses and elites are the real minority. Education tailored for children. Pay more attention to the educational resources of social minorities and vulnerable groups. Children with mental retardation, children with physical disabilities, and migrant children have all guaranteed the relatively fair right to education and knowledge, and turned their efforts into the backbone of social stability and development. Win the world with family education: Finnish parents teach their children to read from an early age, but they don't regard their studies as the only thing. In the communication with the school, they are not only concerned about their children's grades. Family education in Finland is the cornerstone of building the world's first competitiveness.

This little introduction stirred up a thousand waves in my heart and brought me great shock. From sailing trips, boys stepping on sewing machines, music lectures, carpentry classes, cooking exercises, mobile libraries, gingerbread making by disabled students, and so on, these realistic educational photos flashed before my eyes, causing ripples in my heart again: Finland's education is open and diversified. How did they do it? What is the educational concept of "seeing the tree and the forest, seeing the forest first and seeing the tree again"? Continue to roam in the ocean of this book with questions.

What's the difference between "foresight tree" and "foresight forest"? I deeply understand its educational essence from the book. Finland's educational theory is "see the forest first". They think that this can let children know the whole picture of the overall curriculum concept and learning objectives first, so as not to let children get tired of the long and meticulous process of trees and give up halfway, and miss the joy of seeing the beautiful "forest". For example, in swimming class, Finnish children play with water in a relaxed and happy situation, float and sink freely in the water waves, and naturally experience the joy of self-ventilation and swimming before learning to swim. In our opinion, it is a waste to spend so much time without learning anything. We hope that every class can get immediate results after repeated drills, but in this way, maybe children can learn to swim in a few classes, but they lose the fun of learning to swim. Finland, which seems to be not rigorous and does not require standard movements, uses game teaching with experience and encouragement to make children really not afraid of water and swim like a duck to water in the most natural way. It can be seen from this case that it is far better to start children's interest in learning and understand the whole subject "forest" first than to rehearse and practice the detailed knowledge and standard movements of trees repeatedly, and grind them again and again! .

Reflecting on the educational background of our unique culture in China, it is often the greatest happiness that parents are proud of that our children can get ahead. Therefore, parents always hope that their children's interests will become their own specialties and strive for the first place in any subject. Behind this achievement is repeated practice and testing, which finally overwhelmed the surrounding competitors. Our parents in China are so purposeful that they only want to achieve their goals and ignore the process. It makes children feel that they have no "talent", lack "wisdom" and "interest", give up a certain subject and course, and finally make a "forest" that could have seen a better life first seem so out of reach.

After reading the whole book, I know what is trustworthy, equal, balanced and tailor-made education for children, and how education can truly realize respect for people. As the author wrote in the preface, "the concern, trust and respect of the whole society and education system for people, as well as the concept of whether life is a race to win at the starting line, are all determined by a healthier and more humanistic depth." As a preschool educator, in order to better serve children and let them learn more knowledge in future education, I will try my best to learn more educational experience, collect more teaching methods, constantly enrich my own quality and make children more independent and confident. As a parent, I can't be too eager for quick success, but I can effectively accompany my children and strive to create a harmonious and happy family atmosphere for them.
