The auspiciousness of the mascot Chapter 25 Religious reform
In mid-April, the Ministry of Education sent Wang Xuan a plan for the reform of Jixiangling's education, the highlight of which was that the people enjoyed equal rights to education.
Being able to put forward this point shows that the thinking of the Ministry of Education is gradually changing, otherwise the Ministry of Education, as the engine of auspicious take-off, will have to be replaced.
The difficulties that exist are also very clear, and Wang Xuan can guess clearly without reading the report, which is nothing more than funds, teaching materials and teachers.
In order to solve these problems as soon as possible, Wang Xuan deliberately went to the Government Affairs Yuan, and took Zheng Xingxing and Wang Zhi, who was in charge of education, to hold a small meeting together, focusing on the study of teaching materials.
According to Wang Xuan's plan, the kindergarten was built inside the primary school, divided into small classes and large classes, and children can enter the small class at the age of five.
In the future, factories will only open more and more, and the demand for labor will also increase, and more and more women will enter the workforce.
If the government can provide a place where children can be cared for and educated, then the policy of encouraging childbirth will be implemented and parents will have no worries.
The primary school is divided into four grades, teaching pinyin, writing, mathematics, nature, physical education, morality, coordination, art, music, and simple physical and chemical experiments.
The reason why there are no six grades is because I can't find anything else to teach, Wang Xuan's poor elementary school memory has almost forgotten, and the old-fashioned language teaching is disdainful. As the saying goes, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and the total duration of practical activities will be more than one year, in fact, the entire primary school stage is five years.
Primary school is mainly for enlightenment, cultivating children's good habits and correct outlook on life and values, and the education model of primary school will directly determine the auspicious future.
According to the memory in his mind, Wang Xuan provided three castrated versions of the enlightenment articles "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", and "Hundred Family Names", and he did not deliberately memorize them at the beginning, so he knew very little.
The "Three Character Classic" is nearly 2,000 words, and Wang Xuan remembers one hundred and eighty of them, and they are still patchwork; he has never read the "Thousand Character Text", but he knows that they are all commonly used words, and this has to be compiled on the spot; "Hundred Family Names" knows more, and it is enough to add the surname to the complete collection.
In addition, some short stories are added to the book to guide children's values, so that they can know right from wrong, distinguish between good and evil, know good from evil, and know good and bad.
Mathematics is based on numbers, the first is to let everyone accept this unique way of writing, the early stage will be a difficult learning process, once mastered to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will be very convenient, multiplication table will also be useful.
The textbook is supplemented by examples to develop children's thinking, such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage, you chase me, etc. There are many examples of this, and the focus is on stimulating children's interest in learning mathematics and leading them into the door of mathematics.
"Nature" is both difficult and simple, astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, biology and other knowledge is all-encompassing, but also the foundation of geography, chemistry and biology in the intermediate school, is the enlightenment course of science.
Too esoteric knowledge Wang Xuan does not intend to include it in the book, maverick may cause counterproductive effects, or start from the basics, let children identify animals and plants, understand their habits, pharmacology and value, understand some common natural phenomena, understand the basic principles. As for the movement of celestial bodies, the cosmic desolation, and so on, I will leave it to those who come after.
"Sports" is the simplest, flexibility exercises, running, queues, skipping rope and so on, there are many contents, the most important thing is to let children establish a correct view of sports, in line with the regular physical exercise to strengthen the body.
The textbook of "Morality" is still mainly based on cases, both positive and negative. Students have social practice activities every month, and children develop good social habits in practice and learn how to behave and do things correctly.
The program is very concise, Wang Xuan pondered for a long time to come up with it, and it can be said that this is also the moral guideline of the mascot in the future:
Be sensible and debate right and wrong
Love auspiciousness, love labor, love learning
Respect, understanding, and care for others
Work diligently, oppose ignorance, hard work and bad work
Helping others, caring for public property, protecting the environment, and abiding by laws and regulations
Respect for the old and love for the young, equality between men and women, harmony between husband and wife, diligence and thrift, and unity in the neighborhood
These moral standards will be engraved in a prominent position in each village, government agency and school, and mascots should always be vigilant to supervise each other, learn from each other, and constantly improve their own quality and moral standards.
The courseware of "Co-ordination Learning" is still being conceived, and Wang Xuan wants to improve children's logical thinking ability through some small activities and practices, develop their brains, make things easier and more effective, and achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is necessary for children to develop the ability to do things, know how to do things, and get things done from an early age, and constantly improve their ways of doing things in the process of learning.
The establishment of "Fine Arts" and "Music" is mainly to enrich children's learning life and increase the fun of learning, and Wang Xuan does not expect to cultivate any artists at all.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and Jixiang still pursues the realization of social status and self-worth when solving physiological needs, which is unrealistic.
If you want to produce the germination of art in auspiciousness, what will happen is ten or eight years later, and there is still plenty of time, Wang Xuan can slowly ponder.
Of course, the knowledge of musical notation and sketching techniques still need to be learned, and he is happy to contribute a few popular songs and a few famous paintings.
In addition to cultivating children's sentiments, these two art courses can also develop their spatial thinking skills, deepen their understanding of flat and three-dimensional, and be of great help to their future design work.
The overall framework of the primary school is like this, Wang Xuan took more than ten days to take out all the knowledge he could provide, and the Ministry of Education also gathered a somewhat famous "gentleman" to carry out ideological education transformation.
The mainstream of old-fashioned learning is literature, but what Jixiang urgently needs for development now is science and engineering, so it is not possible for "sir" not to change his thinking, and the crooked-mouthed monk can not recite the scriptures.
The older ones will be assigned to teach the text, and the younger scholars will need to be trained by Wang Xuan before being arranged, most likely to teach mathematics. The main reason for the pre-job training is that there is a problem with their way of thinking and knowledge structure.
If you want to be a qualified teacher, you must first have a wealth of knowledge, secondly, you must have the ability to impart knowledge to students, and finally you must be a moral model.
Therefore, on the one hand, Wang Xuan wants to enrich their knowledge base, teach some training skills, and on the other hand, he also wants to pass on some advanced ideas.
As for the frequency of teacher training, it is also very humane, one time in the summer and one in the winter vacation, which lasts for ten days. Wang Xuan will communicate with everyone from time to time on how to be a qualified school teacher, and they can also communicate with each other and learn from each other. This teacher training program is also an attempt by Wang Xuan to establish "Jixiang Normal University".
The training does not set up a fixed location, but only brings the first batch of sixteen future primary school teachers with them, unless necessary, they have to go wherever Wang Xuan goes, these people are between twenty and thirty-five years old, it is the prime of life, Wang Xuan hopes that his words and deeds can make them change qualitatively as soon as possible, reborn.
As for the elderly, they choose to go to factories and construction sites to teach basic writing, which can be regarded as contributing to the elimination of illiteracy.
In the long-term mind, Wang Xuan also instructed the Ministry of Education and the Propaganda Department to recruit some clever children between the ages of eight and fifteen from the territory, and he would teach them personally. It is naturally good to be able to find talented good seedlings, if you don't find it, it is not a pity, and there is no harm in being bland, Wang Xuan wants to train them to become the first generation of teachers, officials and scientific researchers in the true sense.
As a result of the census, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Education have jointly submitted a list of 1,000 people, including new immigrants from groups 5 and 6 in a village in Hedong.
Due to the large number of children, Wang Xuan had to set up an exam paper to test the moral character and logical thinking of these children, and select the top 100 for admission.
After spending a day copying the papers, the Ministry of Education scattered the staff the next day, determined the list of primary candidates through individual interviews, and then determined the list of secondary candidates in the form of interviews, and finally 200 people will be selected by Wang Xuan.
This is the most existential thing since the establishment of the Ministry of Education, and with the vigorous propaganda of the Propaganda Department, these people have been given preferential treatment after arriving in the locality, and they dare not fill their own pockets, but eating and drinking is an unavoidable thing.
Parents want their children to learn from the lord and have a good background in the future. Today's auspiciousness is a day a look, the face is also changing with each passing day, with the continuous development of the talent gap is also gradually expanding, the territory has begun to buy people from the outside, if they do not work hard to catch up with this wave of tide, the child may not have a suitable position when he grows up.
Wang Xuan understood the old auspiciousman's thoughts very well, but the fact was that Jixiang had no time to waste.
In the end, Wang Xuan selected 100 people from these 200 people and divided them into two classes, but the classes still had to be taken together.
The children's makeshift school was next door to the Government Council, and the family, who were easy to talk to, moved out after the Ministry of Education paid the rent.
These hundreds of people are now mainly learning pinyin and mathematics, pinyin is the basis for learning words, and mathematics is generally not able to work hard in the early stage. Their language teachers were selected sixteen people, and Wang Xuan arranged the class schedule for them, and they were required to write teaching materials according to the syllabus.
In his spare time, Wang Xuan will also take them out to inspect, slowly changing their thoughts and concepts under words and deeds, and I believe that in the near future, they will be able to keep up with the rhythm of their own thinking, and that is the time to do a big job.
