Chapter 1149 Shocking Discovery
Yes, that's right, Zhu's elementary school also has to learn these things, but in addition to these things, they also have "housework class", "labor class", "handicraft class", "observation class", "activity class", "writing class"
"Class", "Arithmetic Class", etc.
Among them, "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" are classified as "Chinese Studies Courses".
Xu Yujin: "..."
Are the children in Zhujiacun working so hard to learn so many things?!
The classes in the enlightenment class are more relaxed, mainly "writing class", supplemented by other classes, and are different every day; after the first grade, they are mainly "Chinese Studies class" and "arithmetic class".
These messy courses seemed a bit incomprehensible, but after looking at the teaching topics, Xu Yujin seemed to understand a little bit.
There are many courses in Zhu's Elementary School, but the teaching content at the same stage all revolves around one theme. For example, the preparatory class has a syllabus with the theme of "seeding". In addition to requiring children to learn texts related to sowing,
In addition, children will also be required to write "observation diaries (i.e., the content of 'observation classes')" based on the changes in the four seasons of the year. The basic diary will arrange the corresponding "labor class" content and complete the corresponding "handicraft class" content...
The so-called "activity class" means that the teachers will take the children of the class they are responsible for on-site inspections in the fields in "class" units to see how farmers cultivate the land, what tools they use, and the growth conditions of the plants.
What is it like...
Then, Xu Yujin saw an "observation diary" written by children from last year, as well as a summary of the results of the "discussion competition" they conducted through group discussions.
Xu Yujin has not read relevant agricultural books, but after seeing the summary of the "observation diary" written by the children, she seemed to understand at once how rice is grown, what steps are divided into, what preparations are needed, and what needs to be done at each growth stage.
do what……
It's so detailed and clear that it's simply amazing.
"Bamei, is this really written by first-grade children?!" Xu Yujin couldn't believe it and asked Zhu Bamei with the thing.
Zhu Bamei was checking the things she needed to prepare for this semester. She raised her head, saw what Xu Yujin was holding, and said, "Yeah, what's the matter? Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with your writing? It's okay, you follow
I said, I will write it down and I will test them next time in class to see if they notice..."
Xu Yujin's expression was hard to describe: "..."
——No, Bamei, I am not finding fault.
——I was shocked, this thing was actually made by a group of children?!
Zhu Bamei blinked, as if she didn't understand: "What's wrong with the children? Can't the children do it?"
It turned out that Xu Yujin said that sentence because she was too shocked.
"No, I'm not saying that children can't do it. What I mean is that they are just a group of children. How can they make such a thing? Bamei, you know, if you give this thing to any farmer, as long as he is a little literate, he will
You know how rice is grown..." Xu Yujin said, "The key is that this is not the work of a knowledgeable master, but a group of children."
Zhu Bamei blinked: "Isn't this thing very simple?"
She personally took the children to sort it out. As long as she asked a few more questions, read more, and recorded more, wouldn't it be enough?
Why did it become a shocking thing when it came to her third sister-in-law's mouth?!
Zhu Bamei was at a loss.
Xu Yujin was also at a loss, because she couldn't understand at all, how could a group of children develop something that even adults might not be able to figure out after studying it for a lifetime?
If Ye Yuran were here, he would definitely say: "No! It's not that adults can't study it, it's that no adults can study this kind of thing."
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.
What did people read in those days?
Poems, books, rituals and music, romantic affairs, and a few people lowered their heads and took a look at the people living at the bottom of society. How do they live? Is there any way they can improve the lives of these people and make them live better?
No.
I know everything about the imperial examinations, including the Four Books and Five Classics, some test poems, and some policy questions. They seem to be "high-level", but they are not implemented in practice. To put it bluntly, they are not down-to-earth enough.
The biggest feature of the "Zhu Family Education" run by Ye Yuran is that it is down-to-earth.
Yes, that’s right, it also teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise it would not offer “Chinese Studies” courses. But in addition, it also looks down upon this era and considers it to be deviant and unprofessional, including “arithmetic arithmetic”, and prepares to
Lay the foundation for introducing "science" into the future world.
At the same time, the focus of Ye Yuran's teaching is not knowledge itself, but teaching children how to use the eyes of "discovery" to observe their surroundings, discover problems, and solve problems.
Only in this way, no matter what happens to them in the future, they will immediately "question" themselves, and then think about how to "solve" it. If I can't "solve" it with my own strength, then whose strength can I rely on?
"solve".
Make plans, unite, divide work, and make final conclusions...
This is why Xu Yujin was so surprised by the final effect.
When Xu Yujin knew, what Ye Yuran told her before, "The water canals in the village were really investigated and planned by Zhu Qi leading the children in the village, and then completed by the villagers." These are all true. There are group activities
With the evidence as evidence, Xu Yujin finally realized: It turns out that her mother-in-law was not bragging, it was all true!
I have heard many people from the Zhu family talk about this matter a long time ago, even Zhu San was talking about it, but what did Xu Yujin think at that time?
It was Zhu San who did it, she believed. As for those children, they were probably there to make up the numbers, and the adults were just exaggerating.
But now...
All the materials for the children's activity classes were piled there, divided into categories according to the activity themes. Each category had the activity materials of each group, as well as their final "activity summary results." In addition to the water canal in Zhujia Village, they also investigated the water canal next door.
village, helped make a plan, and even tracked the subsequent construction progress.
Xu Yujin decided that if she had the opportunity, she must go to the next village to take a look and confirm for herself.
I thought so, but in my heart, Xu Yujin was already sure that this matter was true.
Because in addition to the canal work, the children also did other activities throughout the year, such as the village's compost plan, rice planting observation diary, windmill construction diary...
There are many of them, and they are all reference materials worthy of adults’ reference.
Xu Yujin held this pile of information and asked Zhu Bamei: "Bamei, can I copy a summary of these activities?"
She saw something in these things and wanted to make a copy for her grandfather.
