China's education began to show hope

As we all know, China's education has many drawbacks, such as lagging behind in teaching concepts and methods, lack of ability to cultivate while attaching importance to exam scores, and focusing on knowledge rather than creative thinking. Recently, I have seen some examples showing Hope for education ......

There are two things to illustrate the development of education in China. First, since this year, the credit system has been applied in high school, and many courses have been added that require hands-on and innovation capabilities, such as design courses, simple robot production, artistic appreciation, and topic research. Second, in the past, the teacher gave the students historical questions. As Yu Shiwei criticized, the frequent question was: "Which year did the Sino-Japanese War erupt in A. D? What is the treaty signed? How much land is cutover? ". But recently, the teacher gave the students a question like this:

• How can we win the Sino-Japanese war once again?
• If we win the war and take over Japan, how can we truly rule Japan in terms of ideology, culture, and economy?

The first thing is to guide teachers and students in the direction of competence from the system, because knowledge becomes less and less important. You can get the knowledge and information you want at any time from the Internet, but you cannot get the ability. Many education experts call for quality education, but the effect has always been poor. Therefore, it must be guided by reform in the curriculum system and the college entrance examination program.

The first is or is secondary. The key is the change of concepts. Therefore, the second thing gives me greater confidence and better shows the hope of education in China. By asking such a question (without a standard answer), students have more room for thinking and must think about it in culture, economy, history, and other aspects, the previous historical knowledge and information related to social and economic aspects can be collected together to improve the overall ability of thinking and proof of evidence. In addition, the patriotism and national self-confidence are indirectly strengthened, which is much stronger than the verbal education.

Of course, this transformation relies on "old teachers", which is hard to achieve and must depend on new generation teachers. They have not graduated from college for a long time, but have received many open and advanced educational ideas, they can indeed help to change their educational philosophy and methods.

Hope to see more changes... this change not only happens in middle school, but also in university, including computer education.
