There is only one book of human wisdom, one book of the individual, and one book of freedom, while there is only one book of human knowledge, the book of society, the book of synergy, and the book of the whole. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info individuals can have a book of knowledge, but it is a part of the book of social knowledge of the whole human being; if a breakthrough in knowledge is made due to the creation of individual wisdom, then sooner or later the knowledge of individual differences will be integrated into the book of knowledge of the whole society, thus enriching it so that individual strength joins the society and promotes social progress.
The book of human wisdom is the reflection of the human mind on nature from the outside in, while the book of human knowledge is the reflection of the human mind on nature from the inside out. Human beings' reflection of nature is not a mechanical mirror, but a processing and refining of natural information, and then the formation of regular cognition, understanding, making knowledge a thing that serves people, and developing man himself. Without the enlightenment of knowledge, there will be no growth of human wisdom, and without the sparkle of wisdom, there will be no development of knowledge, and human beings' understanding of nature will always be deepened. There is no need to be inferior to become a learner, as long as you have the courage to pioneer, and don't be proud to be a leader, because that is the source of jealousy of the shadow of the latecomer.
The entropy of nature increases, and human knowledge is not static. From primitive petroglyphs to pictographic oracle bones, gold and stone drum inscriptions, and even seal scripts, the bearing of knowledge is both subjective and objective. The carrier of knowledge should be the living person himself, and there is no subjective initiative of people, what is the purpose of the existence of knowledge. The carrier of knowledge is like books, although it has enlightened mankind for more than a thousand years, the carrier of objective objects is dead; If it cannot be meaningful to human beings and further deepen the carrier of human beings to absorb the finished things, then what is the purpose of the existence of knowledge? There is a process of transformation from knowledge to wealth, and it is necessary for people to realize the vitality of knowledge to lead the great development of society through science and technology. It is often said that "a rising tide lifts all boats", and the more developed a society is, the higher the basic social knowledge. Civilized society needs to constantly improve the level of knowledge, good knowledge is used, and the old-fashioned concept of knowledge is based on a simple view of wealth.
Nature is interconnected, and every bit of human knowledge has the same power transmission relationship. Since knowledge is human cognition of nature, the laws that exist in nature also exist in people's cognition. The cognition of nature, whether A is equal to B or from A to infinity, is a process of discovery, and the same applies to the human social system, and this kind of knowledge initially determines that knowledge is a common nature of society, so there is only one book of knowledge for human society.
The transmission of human knowledge is developed along the lines of clan education, family education, and social education. Human beings have wisdom to contain knowledge, and knowledge is the understanding of the universe that has objectivity, and also has the sociality of human attributes, which is the consequence of the socialization of education. Knowledge exists in books, but books are not knowledge. The subject of knowledge is not a book, not a simple text, but a link to the natural information of human cognition contained in knowledge, and the subject of knowledge needs to be carried by people themselves. Knowledge can only be developed when people become the carriers of knowledge, and this kind of bearing should be raised with the development of human beings to meet the needs of human development. The ancients said that "the road is the same", social knowledge has the characteristics of continuity, but contemporary society needs to develop knowledge faster under the stability of society, modern education also has a greater and greater acceptance of new things, and the mode of education from text education to method education, ability education, and concept education is the inevitable result of knowledge development.
Then, when it is man himself who carries knowledge, and when man carries knowledge rather than books, it can be said that it is a pity that there are no human beings and no beauty in nature, so that the existence of knowledge can be reflected.

At the time of writing, thoughts of the past still flashed through my mind, and perhaps the first sprouts could not be erased even if they were chaotic. Therefore, the old text is attached for recollection.
The Theory of the Essence of Knowledge
1. The Theory of the Essence of Knowledge
1. The birth of knowledge
What is knowledge? Where does knowledge come from? How is knowledge generated?
This is modeled after the three basic human questions: "Who am I?" Where did it come from? Where to go? Three questions about knowledge.
What is knowledge?
The scientific answer from Baidu is as follows: knowledge is in line with the direction of civilization, and the sum of the results of human exploration of the material world and the spiritual world. There is still no unified and clear definition of knowledge. There is a classic definition from Plato: a statement must meet three conditions for knowledge to be true, correct, and believed, which is the criterion for distinguishing science from non-science.
Where does knowledge come from? How is knowledge generated?
This is basically easy to answer: knowledge comes from practice and is generated in the practice of human beings.
With a standard answer, what else do we have to consider?
Here, I hope that readers will follow the author from a different perspective, look at the process of these three problems along the context of time, and deduce the process of sustainable development of human beings.
First, let's look backwards in time along the knowledge carrier to see what happens.
Most of the knowledge we are exposed to is now acquired on television, computers or mobile phone screens, although only 40 or 90 years, this time should be accurate, Apple was born in 1976, and Baird, one of the inventors of television, made a show to the British press in 1926 to broadcast and receive television.
The medium of knowledge beyond that was paper. From modern hardcover books, newspapers and periodicals to thread-bound ancient books, time flies backwards, and we look at papermaking.
In the 12th century, paper mills were first set up in Spain and France, and in the 13th century, paper mills were set up in Italy and Germany. By the 16th century, paper had become popular throughout Europe, eventually replacing the traditional parchment and Egyptian papyrus, and since then paper has gradually spread to the world.
Papermaking was introduced to Japan via Korea in the 7th century AD and to Arabia via Central Asia in the mid-8th century. After the mass production of Arabic paper, it continued to be exported to European countries, so papermaking was subsequently introduced to Europe from Arabia.
Then the origin of papermaking is in China. The process is hemp paper from the second century B.C., followed by the famous Caihou paper, followed by the improvement of the dynasties and the renovation of the variety.
Further on are the slips, the silks, the stone drums, the gold inscriptions, and then we see a pile of tortoise shells and animal bones - this is the oracle bone inscription.
In foreign countries, it is stone carvings and clay tablet documents.
Time flies back again until we reach the end point - 40,000 years ago, we see a group of petroglyphs. All over the world, there are all kinds of animals or people who attack animals, whether they are bows and arrows, or wooden spears, or hard sticks. The most typical animal is the deer.
So, what happened in front of the deer with sharp forked horns?
In front of the dusk bonfire, a group of primitive people were dancing, singing something in the murmur, and the shadows of people and deer reflected each other in the flickering.
An old man pointed to the petroglyphs and said something to the child next to him, and a strong man came over and swung a wooden spear and patted his chest and boasted excitedly.
What does these make? What does this mean?
This is knowledge and the imparting of knowledge.
This shows that in the prehistoric era of mankind, knowledge was born!
2. The story of the soul
Petroglyphs - these simple and vast ancient objects illustrate the birth process of ancient knowledge.
The rudimentary brush, the crude technique, the ignorance of human beings, but they already possess the typical characteristics of knowledge: representation, repeatability, transferability......
Knowledge is simply split into knowledge and knowledge. To know is to know, to understand, to be able to distinguish things, for example: primitive man can distinguish the animal deer; Consciousness is to understand the laws of things, for example, primitive people can understand the characteristics of the deer, so that it can be successfully captured. Although those petroglyphs are not words, they represent knowledge, and even the rudiments of words, representing the origin of human civilization.
What happened to humanity after that?
Time node: Yuyao, Zhejiang, Shoushan Hall, Wang Yangming's former residence, and the plaque on the main entrance is "True Three Immortals".
What happened to Wang Yangming's life?
The drowning childhood, the sparse officials, the sinister exile, the remote barbarism......
In the middle of the night, thunder and lightning broke down, and the man stood up and roared, what happened?
This is the famous Wang Yangming in history "Dragon Field Enlightenment".
This was followed by his education of the world, his diligent political affairs, his golden iron horse, and the dissemination of mental science...... and so on the ups and downs of life.
Note: The person who sat down during Wang Yangming's lecture: he was dressed in fancy clothes, wore a papier-mâché hat, and held a wat board in his hand, in short, he was a maverick. His name is Wang Gen.
So, what did Wang Yangming realize in his "Dragon Field Enlightenment"?
He believed that the mind is the root of sensing all things, and thus put forward the proposition that the mind is reason.
The saint is not alone, so what about the sages before?
Lao Tzu's "Gate of All Wonders", Confucius's righteous self-cultivation, Mencius's benevolence and goodness, Zhuangzi's dream of butterflies, and Huineng's "that is, the heart is a Buddha...... Wang Gen "daily use is the way".
Whether it is "heart" or "Tao", combined with Western Freudian psychoanalysis, with the current research on human psychology and thought, compared with the development of brain science, from the perspective of materialism, it is impossible to deny its existence, at least the ancient sages sensed something, and enlightened future generations and promoted social development.
So, can we find a medium to prove the existence of the "heart"?
Let's take a look at CCTV's hit "The Mystery of the Earth Creating Mankind".
How the earth created our bones, our arms, our legs, our ear bones, how it taught us goosebumps, hiccups, fears, discernment......
Yes, instinctively.
It can tell us the secrets of the knowledge creation process.
3. Surging knowledge
Would anyone say that it is not absurd to use the idealistic propositions of the ancients to explain the reality of knowledge?
We must see the inheritance of knowledge, and now we can see that knowledge is the embodiment of the sum of all knowledge in ancient times, and that it is still possible to study all kinds of phenomena in the process of knowledge development by maintaining a scientific attitude and the spirit of negation of negation. With a mentality that is not presumptuous and full of self-confidence, the development of knowledge is a process of continuous scientific and pure knowledge.
So, is human civilization ahead of schedule?
Where is the age of human obscurantism?
Didn't the country start the era of human civilization in the future?
Yes, the history of human civilization begins from the era of nations, such as the Xia Dynasty in our country.
At present, the time node that can be known is the birth of Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago, the birth of new humans about 50,000 years ago, and the birth of metal tools about 10,000 years ago, which promoted mankind to enter the era of civilization.
But the origin of human culture is very early, and the origin of human thought is also very early.
The origin of knowledge, then, lies not in the origin of words, but in the origin of human thought.
And through archaeological discoveries, Homo sapiens already possessed emotions. This is enough to complicate the activities of human thought, and once this process unfolds, it will inevitably show a tendency to gradually accelerate, so that the development of our current civilization is proportional and harmonious on the parabolic curve.
In addition to the conceptual understanding, the intellectual understanding of "what is knowledge" can still be carried out through an ancient story.
The story is as follows: Huineng wandered to the Faxing Temple in Guangzhou, heard a monk say "the wind blows the flags", and heard a monk say "the flags move and know the wind blows", but Huineng said: "Not the wind moves, not the flags move, the benevolent heart moves." When Yin Zong, the master of the Dharma Temple, heard of this wonderful theory, he immediately talked with him, and learned that he was the famous Huineng, who had been heard of for a long time, so he asked the monk to shave his ordination for him, complete the ordination ceremony, and respectfully ask him to officially enthrone the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism.
"The heart of the benevolent" is a summary of the knowledge produced by the ancient ancestors.
Knowledge is a combination of information in the material world that is beneficial to one's own development, and is a reflection of nature. The human mind, or heart, or soul, reflects nature, and is concentrated in the human mind, or the heart, or soul, to form knowledge.
Knowledge exists inherently, and when it is used in human social life, it becomes knowledge, which can become a process of "knowing the mind".
The origins of this process may be much older. From the animal's point of view, perhaps since the birth of the sensory organ of the eye, it has naturally become the instinctive reflection of the animal as the complex evolutionary reflection of the animal.
Yes, instinctively. Perhaps the ancient ancestors sensed the medium transmission of instinct and thus established their own world of ideas.
Therefore, the instinct of knowledge is a material process, which does not contradict materialist epistemology.
From Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago to new humans 50,000 years ago, the germination process of human thought is a process of convergence of reflections of nature, and it is also a process of knowledge generation.
The intellectual instinct is a material animal instinct as well as a human social instinct. It is one of the driving forces of human development.
So, what are the prehistoric human beings before the rock art under the light of the dusk fire, what are their instincts in knowledge?
At present, the most prominent instinct of human beings in the field of knowledge is to learn and explore.
2. Contingency
1. The instinct to be open
Instinct is the ability inherent in the animal itself and can be learned without learning. Instinct is beneficial, regular, and repeatable for animals.
The History of Technology, published by Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom, does not begin with a description of the great achievements of human civilization, but begins with the instincts of tiny animals.
A North American sand wasp will dig an oblique hole in the soil during the egg-laying period, then catch a caterpillar and put it into the nest for anesthesia, and cover the nest with stones after laying eggs; Then look for another caterpillar, anesthetize it, open the nest and put it in, cover it - and repeat this process until the nest is filled with caterpillars; Finally, the best thing is that after the nest is covered with earth, the sand wasp will bring sand and gravel from other places to spread on the nest, and use its jaws to clamp the stones to beat the soil on the top of the nest to make it hard, until the difference between the ground and the surrounding area of the nest is completely eliminated. This interesting little life just survives on the earth year after year.
Instinct is born with living things, so can we humans mature naturally without going through the process of growth?
For example, "The Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, is surnamed Gongsun and is called Xuanyuan." Born as a god, weak and able to speak, young and neat, long and sensitive, mature and smart", "Gao Xin was born a god, and said his name", we will listen to the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian in ancient times. Because history is written by people, the uncertainty of the recording process is widespread.
In the West, there is a famous experiment of ancient Egyptian princes. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt considered themselves descendants of the gods, as did their children. He locked his children in a small black room, and only allowed slaves to deliver food every day, hoping that they would complete the process of "being born gods". However, when his child came out of the little dark room, he had become a roaring reptile.
Modern people basically understand that species can be degraded, and so are instincts.
Opening vs. closing are the causes and conditions for species to advance and retreat. And openness is the fundamental reason for the development of things.
After World War II, there was a survey on people's self-expression in society. Comparing the behavior before and after World War II and during the war, the general conclusion is that people tend to be conservative in war and open in peacetime; For individuals, relaxation and openness prevail, tension and conservatism prevail. In nature, too, species competition leads to open evolution. For example, Darwin's expedition to 13 species of passerine songbirds in the Galapagos archipelago has led to the evolution of different species in an open environment for the descendants of these ancient strains that accidentally arrived from South America, with the beak pattern of the famous bird located above the gates of the national park, and the open diet environment that promotes the development of diverse species. Therefore, openness means prosperity for nature and prosperity for society.
Opening and closing can be transformed due to different angles, and the transformation of biological perspectives can also form the forward and backward of species.
Like the songbirds in Darwin's expedition, the size of the archipelago can be said to be closed, and as the breeding faced food shortages, when the songbird's perspective shifted, it brought about a variety of food varieties, leading to the evolution of the species.
The instinct of living beings is also complex or singular in the advance and retreat of the species with the opening and closing of the biological senses.
2. Chance and inevitability
Due to academic reasons, when studying a certain event in college, what I heard the most was "the inevitability of history".
There is an extreme cosmological theory of human beings called the "Anthropic". It was proposed by Boro and Tibera, and the content is that the existence of human beings can explain the various characteristics of our universe, including the basic natural constants; Because if the universe weren't like this, there wouldn't be intelligent beings like us to talk about it.
This sounds like a theory like the "children of the gods", but what we tell us is a problem of social necessity.
However, to discuss inevitability will inevitably make us stand at the end or end point of the development of things, and if human beings want to seek development, they must stand from the perspective of chance, that is, the beginning of the development of things.
Chance is the same as the unknown for knowledge, and the unknown is frightening.
So, are you strong?
I believe that everyone is full of confidence in their answers.
Where does the consciousness of human necessity and contingency arise?
Timeline: 40,000 years ago, the old man and his child under the petroglyphs.
What if we assume that there are two different children underneath the petroglyphs?
A child listens intently to the old man's narration;
The other child's eyes flashed with suspicion.
What causes human children to give birth to new human emotions?
Suppose the old man says: The deer will go to the water's edge to drink, so the deer will be hit at the water's edge.
A child followed an adult hunting and caught a deer.
Another child followed the adults to hunt, but the deer did not come, and was eaten by wolves halfway, and the child starved.
Well, in this case, there will be a change in the mental activity of the other child.
Doubt, or even denial, these new human activities of consciousness are born.
The consciousness of human necessity and contingency will arise, and the negation of negation epistemology will sprout, all of which will promote the progress of mankind.
These things will play a very important role in human learning and exploration.
3. The essence of education
1. The essence of education
Education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about developing it. This is the essence of education.
Summarizing the above, understanding instinct can not only examine the nature of knowledge, but also clarify the direction of education.
For example, why education reform should be carried out.
Research ideas or psychology have limitations in year-on-year verification, and instinctive year-on-year verification is universal.
After all, instinct is the result of the materialistic reality of the species and can be quantified.
However, when the mind is re-reflected in the external reaction, it will be worn out, and it will become incomplete, inaccurate, and inapplicable.
Moreover, our research is even a kind of learning.
For example, research lotus leaves to develop new coatings, research spider silk to develop new fibers, research butterfly scales to develop new optical materials......
That's why some people say that human technology research is reading a book of nature.
Unfortunately, our awareness of environmental protection needs to be strengthened, and we still need to avoid the occurrence of phenomena that destroy nature in social life.
Learning and exploration is a broad concept, both for knowledge and education.
But the creation of these two abilities represents the imprint that humans have left on themselves over millions of years, even when the species exploded 500 million years ago. Whether it is paleontology, or ancient apes, ancient humans have not stopped their pace. When human beings stand on the pinnacle of life, we need to feel small, otherwise we will still face the threat of degradation.
Yes, learning and exploration are universal abilities in living things, and I am afraid that this has been the case since the era of bacteria.
Learning is a kind of biological law behavior, which tends to be the same and unified. When something that is beneficial to the evolution of living things is inscribed on fossils, it indicates that living beings have learned the laws of nature and collected knowledge of nature. Learning is efficient and requires the process of recording knowledge of nature in a relatively short period of time.
For example, it is a common phenomenon that some students are very quiet when studying, and noise means irritability. Therefore, the hotel room is tight during the college entrance examination, because students who are facing the big test of life need a quiet environment. Due to the complexity of modern education, such instinctive characteristics are diversified.
The timeliness of learning means that paleontology will be eaten or eliminated if it cannot complete its beneficial evolution within a certain period of time; For hominids under petroglyphs, it means whether they can get food quickly, otherwise they will face starvation.
So, learning is a kind of ability that people must have. The occurrence of learning behavior can produce more instinctive reflections, so the study of instinct can provide more perspectives on knowledge and education.
Since learning implies the pursuit of progress, learning is also manifested as the accumulation of rules or knowledge. People who follow this natural reaction are represented in modern society as gifted students. Gifted students indicate the success of learning timeliness and the completion of education in a straight line. They are often targeted by educators.
Although learning is the memory of progress, the learning instinct is less timely to promote the progress of knowledge. Just as it takes time to ferment wine, it takes time for the learning instinct to accumulate knowledge to the extent that it is indiscriminate.
The learning instinct forms the malleability of knowledge. Some will say: Isn't evolution done in mutations? Yes. But for educators, the history of human evolution needs to be condensed into a 2-minute documentary, in which the learning instinct is evolutionary. Mutation is studied in the field of exploration, and this change of perspective may be awkward, but it needs to be.
In education, learning and exploration should occur simultaneously and promote together. Because in the history of mankind, this has been the case with both.
However, due to the existence of open conditions, if the educational environment is closed, the proportion of the two will change, or even diverge.
For example, the emergence of students with learning difficulties. In the learning process, students with learning difficulties show an instinctive pursuit of differences, which means the occurrence of more accidental phenomena in the classroom, which has always been "disgusted" by some educators. Although the word "disgust" is sensitive in modern terms, in some educators, the understanding of contingencies is that educational time is occupied and learning efficiency is reduced.
From the source, if learning is the result of evolution for humans, then exploration is the result of human migration. Learning ability will promote excellent students, and exploration ability will lead to the emergence of students with learning difficulties when the learning environment is closed.
Note: Because of the variable perspective, if the educator does not adjust the student's perspective appropriately, some students will instinctively simply understand that their educational environment is closed. At that point, educators will find themselves doing useless work, and their students are already pulled down halfway through the exploration.
Anyone who has read historical biographies knows that both Darwin and Edison were unqualified students in the eyes of their teachers, and the reason for this educational phenomenon is that the exploratory instinct of such students gives a larger weight to the educational process. These people also tend to be creators or innovators.
If you jump back to 100,000 years ago, think about the migration of ancient humans. Human migration is caused by population pressure or the pursuit of food, they may return to their original places to share their gains with their kind, or they will go all the way, and the journey of life has become a post station, and the judgment of the road has become extremely important. The experiences of these journeys of discovery will be imprinted in their genes and instincts, and will be inherited by us modern humans.
Therefore, after this type of child gets the textbook and reads it, he will instinctively explore and tell them that he has completed the task, and that they have passed by, experienced, and begun to seek breakthroughs. In the eyes of educators, this kind of behavior is not seeking to understand, or even learning.
Although it is indeed difficult for educators to pull differentiated students from the instinct of exploration to the instinct of learning, the educator can let the student change his perspective and tell the student that the exploration is not complete, and then the educational content in the hands of the educator becomes unimportant, and they just need to continue the pace of exploration of the student.
For educators, the exploratory instinct means that the foundation is not solid, but it often promotes knowledge more than the learning instinct. Children who are driven by the exploratory instinct will not only pursue differences, but also alienate knowledge. This kind of intellectual change is no different from genetic mutations in the biological world, and if the best is done, then it means progress.
Therefore, reverse education for naughty students is not advisable, and it is often a distortion of education.
The instinct to explore produces a bent education, which is also acceptable as long as it is able to accomplish the general elements that the educational process has.
Instinct can also lead to changes in life tendencies, for example, the accumulation of learning instinct may make students biased towards liberal arts, and the novelty of exploration instinct may make students biased towards science.
The broad understanding of the study of educational instinct is currently based on the country's demand for innovative knowledge and innovative talents, and competition is reflected at the national level in the modern society where the speed of knowledge development is getting faster and faster.
2. Take the teacher as a good
If love comes from family, then kindness comes from education.
Interestingly: love is very direct, kindness is very tactful. But real life is more complicated. Love is universally observable, but goodness needs to be discovered.
The word good is in Jinwen, but where is the origin?
The ancients said: Be kind to others. Goodness is an act between people; Kindness, like love, is a one-way giving. It is easy to form emotional bonds between family members, but it becomes difficult to close the distance between people when they enter society. Although people can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the exchange of interests cannot bring people closer to their hearts and alleviate their sense of alienation. The thinker Confucius expressed his views on righteousness and benefit clearly, and seeking the same spirit is a direct way of emotional communication. Among them, the education with knowledge transfer as the content is the most in line with this requirement, and the output and exchange of knowledge without asking for anything in return is also in line with the standard of goodness. The transfer of knowledge in education is free of impurities of interest, and is sufficient to complete the origin or enlightenment of social behavior. Confucius said, "There must be my teacher for three people", and education is enough to complete the popularization of good deeds.
Knowledge is born with a natural tendency to pass from person to person, so when knowledge is born, education is also born. The Homo sapiens identification drawings under the petroglyphs only ensure that food can be obtained in the future, and the transmission of knowledge is only a step beyond the instinct of lower animals, but the knowledge appearance has already begun to complete the educational content after all; In the embryonic period of early human language and writing, there were only pictures, and the information conveyed was not even as good as the content contained in a Chinese character, but the educational elements of master-apprentice and knowledge were already possessed; The beginning of education may be limited to the relatives of the clan, and the prehistoric humans who went out from the family encountered other human languages and could communicate with each other through pictures, and in the course of communication, they could revise and promote the birth of writing and the development of knowledge, so the process of education was also a process of social integration.
In education, the concept of "truth, goodness and beauty" is especially emphasized because of the development of knowledge and education, and the spirit of learning and exploration contained in it has become a highly complex social system behavior. However, there is still an instinctive element in it, and the original model of education can still inspire us to improve on our current tasks.
In terms of knowledge exchange, primitive education did not include a complex relationship between people in society, and people were equal in front of knowledge. The difference between people in knowledge can be glimpsed through the story of Confucius and Xiang Lu, the content of the story does not need to be elaborated, and the emphasis is that Confucius's "fearful posterity" still reveals a certain conceit in Confucius's heart while affirming Xiang Lu. The equal exchange of knowledge began to appear in education as the equality of teachers and students and the right to speak for students, because the authoritative right to speak does not have the right to decide the truth, which has been verified and recognized by ancient and modern China and foreign countries.
What is commonly seen in educational circles is the weakening of the gardener's plot. The reason for this lies in the accidental nature of knowledge. Just as Confucius did not know that he would meet Xiang Qi, educators could not foresee that students would not become scientists, thinkers, and leaders; Similarly, educators cannot foresee how much certain natures of students today will benefit them in the future. Therefore, simple education will no longer be the mainstream of education in the future.
Therefore, when the society generally hopes that educators are like a candle and students themselves put forward higher and higher requirements for the education process, on the other hand, it is of practical significance to look at "truth, goodness and beauty" as the germination process. Therefore, modern education is first and foremost a career, and the choice of education is first of all a choice of educational responsibilities and then a choice of educational tasks.
3. Science and technology and education
In modern society, technology and education are increasingly mutually reinforcing, and if we consider foresight, the future of education is exciting.
The most intriguing tech event of 2016 so far was Google's artificial intelligence alphago's 4-1 overall win against world Go champion and professional nine-dan player Lee Sedol in March. This incident has aroused heated discussions in various fields of society. The practicability of artificial intelligence in various social fields has become the focus of discussion.
One phenomenon mentioned here is the problem of children's school bags. On the first day of school, parents felt the heavy schoolbags of students, which really looked like the weight of athletes' training. In schools where conditions permit, students' personal handheld tablet terminals are popularized in schools. However, there will still be some problems, such as: the first security issue, screen, electricity safety and network environment; content, software and instructional content; Cost. Network problems can be solved through professional networks, and there will also be problems of speed; The screen issue is perhaps best solved, but it involves cost; Publicity and supervision should be strengthened for electricity use; The cost only depends on the degree of development of the social region, and the economic nature of education begins to appear, which is the result of social development to a certain extent.
In terms of software and content, copyright protection is not a problem, because the group of students is both single and special, and the input-output ratio is not considered, but only the practicality is worried. Rigidity of content is an obstacle, and the pursuit of novelty is characteristic of modern people; Then there is the inherent problem of the complexity of content, which is determined by the way we think about it since ancient times.
In many educational courseware, you will see that it contains all the educational processes and all the unit knowledge. The exploration of knowledge is obtained by human migration and evolution, and the characteristics of "post station" are obvious, and for independent and conscious active students, they need more knowledge points than teaching guidance, and their immediate learning characteristics are obvious. A good book like the "History of Technology" mentioned above can be read quickly by someone with a certain amount of knowledge if professional research is not considered. But for students, such a large work needs to be fragmented even if it is easy to understand, until it is "pointed" into a knowledge point. Simple, direct, easy to understand and even novel, modern students still have high requirements for knowledge acceptance. And the origin of the famous online education began with such a process.
The improvement of education is because the country's knowledge or scientific and technological breakthroughs need to be raised by social fundamentals. Social fundamentals are an intermediate constant in social surveys. For example, learn about the times and watch an hour of news; Learn about fashion and go shopping; Learn about food and drink and take a look at the recipes at the restaurant. If you understand the fundamentals of knowledge and culture, you can understand it by looking at the bestseller list. People's time in a day is limited, and the characteristics of modern people bound by mobile phones are beginning to be revealed, and it is also feasible to use fragmented knowledge to covertly squeeze game entertainment time.
AI-assisted research is the norm, and AI-assisted learning is a matter of time. Because from the perspective of unfounded worries, it is possible for human beings to be pulled out of touch by the speed of their own development. The speed capacity of the human brain is limited and may decline with old age, so artificial assistance in knowledge is inevitable. Take Google's artificial intelligence alphago as an example, its operation mode can be understood, but the specific program will be very complex, and it itself is a superbrain developed by the computer under human guidance.
The birth process of artificial intelligence can be understood as a learning process, and if this process is integrated into the human being, so that the learning process can be greatly saved, then the human can devote most of his energy to the exploration process. In the process of learning or education, it is particularly important to maintain the spirit of exploration.
It has never been seen that the development of network search intelligence and portable intelligence can be realized, and at this time, there will be requirements for a country's software programming and even mathematical ability, and intelligence can only extend the material function of the brain at present, and the extension of the knowledge world still requires human beings to continue to explore nature.
Fourth, the childhood that never dies
For the transmission of knowledge, or education, the American writer Neil Bozeman wrote a book called "The Passing of Childhood". While the book is instructive, does childhood really fade away?
The author believes that childhood never dies.
The concept of childhood does not need to be described, but the differences in childhood are obvious, mainly because of the distance between people. In the countryside, childhood is nature, and the space is huge, and in the city, childhood is the world and space of adults to be discovered.
Childhood in the countryside means that the school also has a variety of self-developed games, and the basketball hoop is a time-squeezing sport; It means that the endless twilight smoke on the way home from school smells bitter with a kind fragrance; It means housework, participation in team production, and growth in fatigue; It means that the hill-like wheat straw pile in the yard is both a slide and a mattress, and the neat corn stack is the maze of the game; It means that the vast field is a person's arena, where you can catch frogs and snakes, dig vegetables and chew roots, and hope for a trace of sweetness in the soil; It means that swimming in the pond is fun and dangerous, and picking up pebbles by the river gives it beautiful meaning; It means that you can see the world from a different perspective on the peak, or pick up game and bird eggs to enrich your happiness.
Childhood in the city means that school games are a kind of planning, and basketball hoops are the goal of competition; It means going home through crowds, traffic, streets, noise; It means homework, tutoring, and tutoring classes at home; It means that going out is a world of consumption, and happiness sometimes depends on adults.
In any case, the exploratory discoveries of childhood exist, so that childhood is conceptually more significant in psychology than in rhetoric. Therefore, whether it is an old naughty child or a late bloomer, understanding exploration from a psychological perspective can make age meaningless.
As a result, childhood can always be a part of life. So, what worries Neil Bozeman?
This is caused by over-coverage, or over-coverage.
Knowledge comes from the practice of the people. For example, in the ancient poetry collection "Book of Songs", the "wind" comes from the folk.
After the advent of paper and printing, knowledge meant that the essence of human exploration became more and more concentrated. Knowledge and knowledge transfer have become an increasingly systematic social thing. The naturalness of childhood growth is getting smaller and smaller, and this process is like when human exploration becomes more and more active, and instinctive factors become the consciousness activities of social subjects, and natural exploration becomes weakened.
This is what Neil Bozeman sees as education disappears childhood.
To see that knowledge needs to be passed on or imparted through education, and this is because life is a hundred years and time is limited. Education makes the explorations of those who have gone before them more meaningful; The amount of human knowledge is constantly increasing, and classification and teaching can avoid detours; Too much repetitive exploration is pointless and a waste of resources. Humans still need to explore the spirit, so there is a reason why some people in life like to be adventurous. Exploring the unknown and developing knowledge are still the driving force of human development.
But education will not only cover the knowledge, but also the heart. Educators sometimes impose their own subjective consciousness on their students, weakening their students' spirit of inquiry. Equal communication is conducive to the cultivation of students' sense of exploration. Overcoverage is the opposite of education.
Perhaps in the future, educators will break away from the shackles of teaching knowledge, and become more and more like a counselor, as the sage Confucius did, and teachers and students will really be like the ancients said that there is only a difference between the order of hearing and attaining. Of course, schools are still indispensable, they are the place where people's socialization or socialization of knowledge and education begins, and it is a symbol of the unity of human society.
Finally, to sum up, metabolism is the universal law of the world, in which human beings continue to accumulate and transmit knowledge, the learning process is constantly enriched, and the pace of exploration is constantly advancing. The people involved in these continue to explore so that they will not be left behind, the new generation continues to surpass and realize themselves, and you and I are one of them in the tide of society.
