The Crisis And Salvation Of Educational Life

Educational life is the existence of people's education and the process of their activities,it is also a kind of life that pepole in education build and enjoy together. During the actual process of education, all kinds of problems will arise, regardless of whether they come from the education system itself, or they are closely related to society. We must identify such problems immediately, and seek out solutions for them. The current educational life is creating and exacerbating the abnormality of human beings. Because the current education is irrelevant to life, the teaching materials, teaching method, grades, homework, and school management have become the goals of education, which makes the teachers confused and the students agonized. Both teachers and students are under tremendous pressure, so the current educational life is already too hard to"look after people's souls". The essence of the educational crisis, the crisis of educational life itself, is the loss of humanity in education, which is the unavoidable result that education has been used only as a tool. The"salvation"of educational life is to solve the education crisis, to let new educational life bring new humanity.Education is an activity which cultivates and develops people. How education pays attention to people and their lives is the most important question that all education theorists and education practitioners should answer. It is also the most important proposition of educational philosophy. Education, as one of the most important human activities, exists in life already. This life is based on people's ordinary, reasonable life, and is characterized by the following five aspects: development, being active, constructiveness, self-awareness and significance. The general question that educational life ontology needs to answer is where the ultimate reason or motivation which generates and develops the process of educational life lies. In other words, what is the ultimate essence of educational life? This is the fundamental question of educational philosophy. Actually, educational philosophy is a special practical philosophy of anthropology ontology. Therefore, the subject of educational life can only be the subject from an anthropological point of view, not from that of nature. Of course, educational life can't be separated from everyday life, nor can it be separated from social or cultural life. Educational life should be a harmonious process of unifying human activity and environment. The educational life that we understand is blossoming of life, the way of existence, caring of the living being, the process of growth and the continuity of living. Educational life is the process of healthy living, the process of whole living, and one way of human existence.The salvation of educational life analyzed here, mainly during the basic educational period called"Passport to Life", through a series of educational activities advocated by"New Education Experiment", transforms the current education system and leads teachers and students through New Education to New Life. It liberates teachers and students from enclosed books and traditional confinement so they can fly to New Life. It makes teachers and students realize the value and meaning of their existence little by little by performing practical activities necessary in life, the activities of dealing with nature and the social world. Therefore, it connects"Education is Life"and"Life is Education". It makes teachers and students live a happy and complete educational life. This life is New Life, and this education is New Life Education. Here, New Education and New Life Education are essentially the same. The New Life under the New Education Experiment is an enjoyable education which lets teachers and students enjoy new life and create new life together; it is a happy education which helps teachers and students experience the vigor of life and improve the quality of life together; it is an ideal education which makes teachers and students fulfill today's ideal life and pursue tomorrow's ideal life together.If all the thinking and theory of the salvation of educational life can't apply to educational life in the real world and reform education practices, then it can't manifest Marx's revolution with regards to practical philosophy. Therefore, from the viewpoint, position and method of Marxist Philosophy, with Marxist Philosophy Practice as the basis, using people's overall development in Marxist"Life World"circumstances as the tool, this dissertation reconstructs educational life. Actually, the true Life World Theory was founded by Marx. Of course,we should also use the Life World Theory of modern western and Chinese philosophy as a resource, with the fundamental survival problems facing nowadays'human race as the basis, to construct a current Marxist Philosophy Life World theory, so it can better guide education reform and make it possible for the New Education to reach New Life . We can approach this problem from the following three aspects: first, reform the teachers'lives to make education be about obtaining the meaning of life; second, reform the students'lives to make education flourish in children's lives; third, reform teachers'and students'life together, so that educational life can be happy and complete. Teachers'happiness consists of accomplishing their career goals and reaching the highest stage of their happiness by expressing their creativities. Rebuilding students'lives is the core of educational life, which includes rebuilding moral life, reading life, wisdom life and comprehensive life, etc. We need to reconstruct the curriculum, so we can closely connect children with society, cultivate students to have moral lives, help students self-build their personalities, connect them with the height of humanity, and make reading truly become a part of children's lifestyle and become a process of children's growth, living happily, exploring knowledge, and pursuing the arts. We need to thoroughly believe in the potential of teachers and students, creating every opportunity for all students to prosper and shine in the fields where their talents reside. Explore the comprehension and uniqueness of educational life, look for the specific education that suits the students'diversified needs. Specialty is excellence. Special education is the ideal educational life that develops students'personality and expands their potential. This kind of educational life can make everyone become himself, letting everyone get overall and specific development. An educational system not only guarantees educational life, but also restricts educational life. Rebuilding a new educational system is to change the old system that hinders people from living the happy and complete educational life, to make the new educational system play a positive leading and promoting role, therefore consciously maintaining the existence of life, and advancing the life quality of teachers and students. Meanwhile, the salvation of educational life also includes reforming family and social life. New education has an important mission: to bring along families and communities through the building of a book oriented campus to build book oriented families and book oriented communities, and to realize the high dream of saving social life.As for the research method, the author wishes to present educational experimentation basics through the expression of the author's own living circumstances, with the method of combining research paper study and case study, discuss where the basic value of education case study lies and give a certain philosophic base for the educational life reform with the analysis of theories. We believe that variety of complex issues such as reality and ideals can be solved through the new education, it can promote the ideals of education into idealized education, and it is possible to rebuild integrity of the happy life. However, what kind of educational belief we should have to face reality and the future requires much further thought. No matter what, leading people to pay closer attention to a better life through the continuous reforming of educational life so people can live better is and will always be the main theme of education, because this is always the main subject of the human being.
