Certificates will be issued after completing 100 credits. Are you tired of family education? A prestigious school opens the first family education micro-major outside the school
What class is this so full of seats? On Sunday, November 26, a lecture theater on the old campus of East China Normal University was "hard to find". There were a dozen plastic stools stacked at the entrance. Those who entered the class late could only "extra seats" at the door and aisle, or outside. Watch the charity live broadcast. The people attending the lectures were not college students, but parents.
A reporter from Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News discovered that this "double first-class" university has begun to open the first micro-major in family education to the society, and invited doctoral supervisors to teach 100 hours of classes. If parents and students complete 100 credits as scheduled, they can also receive a micro-professional certificate and truly "hold a certificate to work" as a tutor.
"Give children the right to try and make mistakes; give children the right to participate in decision-making; give children the right to work." The first class is an introductory class, taught by the Institute of Curriculum and Teaching, Department of Education, East China Normal University, Doctoral supervisor Liu Lianghua, who is also the chief principal of Guangzhou Haizhu Second Experimental Primary School Education Group, teaches one of the three main courses "Family Relations and Family Education". The entire course has 21 chapters in total. In the introduction, he emphasized the "subject education" of family education, and of course the "subject" is one's own children.
In families with school-age children as the main body, especially families with examinees, how can we make children want to learn from the bottom of their hearts? He Lingfeng, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Psychology at Shanghai Sport University, is also a member of the Psychology Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education. He just taught an online class at the Shanghai Parent School a week ago, and this time he also became one of the professors of the family education micro-major of East China Normal University. , teaching the course "Children's Habits and Character Development".
Parents often say, "Children are not interested in studying. They stay up all night playing games and forget to eat and sleep. It would be great if they had the energy to play games while studying!" In response to the question "Can I study like playing games?" Professor He put himself in his shoes. He believes that games tend to build a world full of novelty and excitement and ambitious goals, which makes people immersed in it. Players can get timely and positive feedback, and if they persist, they can also get rewards such as personal image, badge titles, weapons and equipment, wealth assets, etc., so that Children not only have a full sense of achievement, but also have social functions.
"If these factors are taken away from children's learning process, children will lose motivation for learning." He said, therefore, to improve children's learning drive, it is necessary to set up rich environments for children to explore independently. Learning time and space allows children to see the growth that learning brings to them, allows children to gain a sense of accomplishment rather than frustration from learning, and allows children to have learning partners and social activities.
Regarding practical suggestions, He Lingfeng gave 5 ways to ask questions, which may alleviate "homework procrastination" and improve parent-child relationships. The first question: "How long do you think it will take you to finish your homework today?" The second question: "Which homework are you going to do first?" The third question: "Now that the homework is done, what are you going to do?" The fourth question is: Question: "How many mistakes did you find out today?" Question 5: "You did so well on your homework today, what reward are you going to give yourself?"
Micro-major classes are held in the Meng Xiancheng and Liu Funian Educational Achievements Exhibition Hall.
It is undeniable that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and every family has its own parents that are difficult to be a parent - it's you who can't stand it, and it's you who can't roll it up; it's you who understands the truth, but it's you who can't be unreasonable? In the eyes of Pang Weiguo, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences at East China Normal University and a member of the Expert Steering Committee for Mental Health Education in Primary and Secondary Schools of the Ministry of Education, following the burnout in the two major professions of teachers and nurses, the "natural profession" of parents A kind of family education burnout has also begun to occur. As one of the teachers who started the course, he hopes that parents studying micro-majors will get rid of their burnout and develop family education into "both a science and an art."
