Chapter 311: The Mission of Education
Liu Renliang doesn't know how to get this kind of highly professional college, because what he has studied in the past is not these, in fact, those education methods in the past are all traditional education, and the learning is all Confucian classics, at most, some classics of the hundred schools of thought, all of which are biased towards liberal arts education methods. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but this suddenly put him in charge of these nautical subjects, so that he didn't know how to plan this course. You must know that in ancient times, there was no corresponding learning system, so he didn't know how to get this school. But then Shi Bufan had an idea, that is, to get out of his own set in the future life. This nautical academy is different from other Datang official schools, and other Datang official schools have also adopted the teaching model that has been formulated in the past, so it is difficult to change it. However, this nautical academy is a complete blank slate. Although everyone has not done this navigation academy in the past, the other "educators" of Datang naturally can't interject, but because of this, Shi Bufan is given the space to operate by himself, and with the operation space, everything can be easily solved.
"Lao Liu, according to my plan, I plan to adopt the teaching system of the credit system, and adopt the method of wide entry and strict exit for education." Shi Bufan said.
"Credit? What is this? Liu Renliang asked.
Shi Bufan said directly: "The credit system, that is, according to their respective majors and research directions, each course is set up with a credit, and then students can choose their own flexible study time, or even work and study." You can choose from two to four or five years, and then you can choose your favorite teacher to listen to the class every time you have a class, but you must be the teacher who wants to teach which course. When the time comes, whether the teacher teaches well or not, the students will choose with their feet. Those who teach well will be given priority to the imperial court to confer the title of loose official. Those who did not teach well, and no students who were willing to listen to the lectures, he himself saw that they were done well. ”
"When you learn the assigned course and arrange the exam for this course at the set time, you can be considered to have passed. After passing, you can get the designated credits, and you can graduate after you have obtained the credit system. When the time comes, select excellent recruits to enter the navy, and some others can be handed over to the official fleet of the imperial court, or recommended to private maritime merchants for high-paying employment. ”
Liu Renliang still felt puzzled and asked, "Is this okay?" With such a credit system, isn't there too little communication between master and apprentice? ”
Liu Renliang felt that this credit system had alienated the master-apprentice relationship, which in ancient times was almost like that of father and son. However, this credit system education obviously completely violates the principle of intimacy between master and apprentice. It's just that this apprentice can choose the instructor who will listen to the class, which is not incomprehensible. But when it's time to attend the class, I leave after the class. There is almost no direct communication between teachers and students, and the personal feelings are very indifferent, and there is hardly any too much closeness, which makes the ancient people very incomprehensible. In the eyes of the ancients, the master not only taught students knowledge, but also taught students to be human beings. There are many masters who regard themselves as "fathers", whether they are sincere or really other factors, there are often many things that transgress their identity. However, in ancient times, it was allowed, and under this credit system, students came to class at the right time, and after the class, they patted their butts and left. There are even a lot of times when teachers don't know their students, so isn't that too messy?
"You say that, and I understand it. According to our ancient school system, there are currently two kinds. The first is the mentor system, when Confucius was known as 3,000 disciples, of course, this 3,000 may be an imaginary number, but it is enough to prove that Confucius has many disciples, and there are 72 famous ones. And these are all those who traveled with Confucius, and listened to Confucius's teachings along the way. But do you know how much it costs? How many teachers in this world can be as energetic and even wealthy as Confucius? Confucius himself was not poor, and his students were not poor either, so they could afford the cost of traveling and studying. ”
"Of course, the teachers and students of this mentorship system are very close and have a deep relationship. However, there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, a waste of resources. After all, not everyone can be as powerful as Confucius, teaching a group of as few dozen people and as many as hundreds of people at a time. The vast majority of people are ten, ten is already the limit, and no matter how much it is, it is useless. Later, a new teaching method was adopted, which is the team system. At present, the mainstream of my Datang is actually the team system, recruiting students from Taixue during the Han Dynasty, and then teaching them separately by Dr. Taixue, in fact, it has already started a team system. In this way, a limited number of teachers can teach more students, but except for a small number of teachers who are particularly valued by teachers and accepted as true disciples, everything else is ordinary teaching. However, this is very beneficial for cultural education and can reduce the cost of education for students. Originally, a dozen students supported a teacher, but now it has become an average of several hundred people to support a teacher, so that the cost is less shared, and the teacher resources can be effectively used, which is an improvement. ”
"Of course, later we can adopt more advanced ones. That is, the credit system, the credit system further reduces the cost of reading, so that the people can spend less, so that the vast majority of the people can have the opportunity to study. How well they can read depends on themselves. ”
Shi Bufan's credit system is actually a credit system that copied later generations, and this credit system is a way to further reduce the cost of learning, and you can even study without taking time off. From the tutor system to the team system, to the final credit system, it is actually a kind of progress. However, there are also corresponding disadvantages, and the tutor system has the best level of education and is also the most personalized. As for the team system, secondly, the credit system is the worst personalized, because each tutor can only take care of his own teaching, and cannot guide every student in a targeted manner, so that every student can strive to achieve the best results.
Sure enough, Liu Renliang hurriedly said: "Teaching like this, I'm afraid I can't teach students according to their aptitude?" In doing so, it is impossible to teach students according to their aptitude, isn't it against the teachings of the Confucian saints? ”
"Teach students according to their aptitude, but Sage Confucius also said that there is no class in teaching." Shi Bufan said.
"Does this matter?" Liu Renliang asked.
Shi Bufan then explained: "Lao Liu, do you know the mission of education? The mission of education is not only to teach others how to behave, but not to teach knowledge, but to maintain the most basic fairness in the world. The fairness of education is at least roughly fair, and in a sense no less than the fairness of the law. With the education that is as equitable as possible, that is the opportunity for a person to have an equitable development. You Lao Liu should know that it is difficult for a person who has not read a book to compete with those who have read a book. Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. Who doesn't want to be this laborer, but too many people have to become laborers for various reasons. We cannot judge the laborers and the laborers directly by their origins. What we're trying to do is give them a fair chance and let them compete on their own. Of course, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and what we can do is to maintain a minimum of fairness, which is the minimum fairness of education. ”
"Although the credit system is poor, it allows more people to have the opportunity to study. More people have the opportunity to study, which means that fair competition is maintained as much as possible, so that everyone can improve by their own ability, rather than by the so-called background. Although the background will also have an impact, with the same education, it can give the junior a greater opportunity to climb this peak in the same way. Now that the literacy rate of all the people in the world is less than 5 percent, how can they have the opportunity to become this 'laborer'. And most of those scholars can directly get the opportunity to study without labor, and they are already too far ahead of ordinary people. So they are the most opposed to universal education, including the one with the surname Fang. ”
Liu Renliang was silent, because Liu Renliang was not too wealthy, and when he was studying, he used his spare time to study. Later, he was able to gain the attention of Ren Gui when he grew up, and he was recommended to become a minor official. In fact, he is also lucky, but Liu Renliang knows that there are too few "lucky people" like himself. The scholars monopolized the power of cultural transmission, and even deliberately set up various obstacles for ordinary people to study, just to avoid excessive cultural transmission. So at that time, when Shi Bufan proposed simplified Chinese characters and various vernacular languages, Fang Xuanling began to oppose it. However, under Li Shimin's compulsory order, he began to forcibly promote it.
As for what some novels about the Tang Dynasty, it is said that the son who invented the surname Fang invented paper, which was promoted by Fang Xuanling. If it is the real Fang Xuanling, then Lao Fang doesn't mind "killing relatives with righteousness" and killing his son, once this cheap paper spreads, then where will his old Fang family go to drink porridge?
Therefore, this education is not only for teaching, but also for maintaining the fairness of the world as much as possible. Everyone has the same education as possible, so when the time comes, whether they are talents or not, whether they can get up, it depends on their own, and they don't blame others. As for what mentorship system is, personalization, this is actually the biggest unfairness. Because once it is completely individualized, those who have the money and power can easily monopolize those excellent teachers, concentrate those excellent teachers as much as possible, and do not learn from those ordinary people. Individualized education, as well as individualized education, sounds great, but it is not suitable for implementation at this time. Because the consequences of this are unimaginable, it will only make the world collapse. Only when we are absolutely rich in the future, and everyone can afford this individualized education and individualized education, will we be able to implement it. ”
Shi Bufan for some people in later generations to tout personalized education, as well as small class education, this Shi Bufan can only hehe. Only the rich can afford to play this game, and those rich people naturally tout these things, and they want to cut off the path of all ordinary people! At that time, they can give their descendants the best education through their own economic and wealth advantages. However, those educational resources that are not very good are given to those children from ordinary families, further blocking the channels for ordinary people to improve. The cost of small-class education, individualized education, and individualized education is so high that most people can't afford it.
At least for the next thousand years after the Tang Dynasty, the duty of education is to maintain the minimum fairness of society and the minimum fairness of the development of the cause of the people, not for the sake of real education. Maintaining the minimum fairness of society is the responsibility of every educator, including the extraordinary times.
Shi Bufan has the best understanding of this, because although he came up with the exams layer by layer, everything was the same, and it all depended on whether he worked hard. Educational resources are relatively scarce, and if there are not enough educational resources, you can only rely on your own talent and hard work to compete. Although everyone is scolding the college entrance examination system, it has to be said that it is the greatest possible means to maintain fairness. He is giving the people at the bottom a channel for competition to rise, if even this channel is broken, then what hope is there?
"Lao Liu, what you have to do in the future is to ask the court for money as much as possible, and how much money you can want. I'll help you say nice things to you at the budget committee, get you more money, and when the time comes, you can eat as much as you want, and don't be embarrassed to ask. Anyway, make a bigger budget and open your mouth so I can help you get more money from the budget committee. In terms of education, don't fucking save money for the court, you can make your budget as big as you can. ”
However, Liu Renliang was still a little worried, and asked, "I really can't do it!" ”
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you are really an honest man! If you can't do it, I'll ask someone from the Qin Family Money Village or even the Datang Money Village Federation to help you make a budget, and guarantee that you will calculate ten times the cost. And with my help, those in the imperial court who have been the old account office of the household department for half their lives, I dare to guarantee that they will never review anything. Shi Bufan said.
Liu Renliang exclaimed: "Isn't this a fake account and a fraud of the imperial court budget?" ”
"That's right, we're making false accounts. But don't we do fake accounts? Anyway, we don't use it ourselves, we don't use it to embezzle the money, we use it to do the right thing. If you are really stupid to do real accounts, I am afraid that there will be opposition from all over the court, and things will be messed up. The emperor wants to destroy Goguryeo, and no one dares to oppose this matter of destroying Goguryeo, and whoever opposes it will be sprayed to death! We might as well take advantage of it and calculate the emperor, so that we can get a big budget. Shi Bufan said. (To be continued.) )
