The famous Ukrainian teacher Vasily Sukhomlinsky was and remains one of the brightest figures in pedagogy, psychology and literature. His legacy: methodological works, research, stories, fairy tales - are valuable primarily for their clear presentation of thought and vivid imagery. He touched upon the most vital aspects of upbringing and education, which are as relevant today as they were half a century ago. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vasily Alexandrovich. He revealed to parents and teachers simple truths, without which it is impossible to understand and accept the world of childhood, taught to appreciate "your inner child":
Only he can become a real teacher who never forgets that he himself was a child.
Being a teacher is a huge responsibility
Teacher-innovator Vasily Sukhomlinsky argued that the most important thing in the profession of a teacher, in the rolementor - do not put out the spark in the child, which is laid down by nature: inquisitiveness, curiosity, imaginative thinking, craving for new knowledge. It is important not to "strangle" the child with a stream of knowledge, not to extinguish the desire to learn, think, explore.
Children do not need to talk much, do not feed them with stories, the word is not fun, and verbal satiety is one of the most harmful satiety. The child needs not only to listen to the word of the educator, but also to be silent; in these moments he thinks, comprehends what he heard and saw. You can not turn children into a passive object of perception of words. And in the midst of nature, the child should be given the opportunity to listen, see, feel.
The essence of learning, according to Sukhomlinsky, is to interest, surprise, make people respond, encourage thinking, reasoning, and finding the right answers. The school must adhere to the principles of humanism in reality, and not nominally. To be fair, sympathetic, to empathize, to take responsibility, not to be indifferent - this is the basis of humanity. Sukhomlinsky's quote about the teacher sounds wise and relevant:
A teacher can be fair if he has enough spiritual strength to pay attention to each child.
The work of a teacher V. Sukhomlinsky defines as "human science" - a very subtle, changeable area in which you need to be as attentive, honest, open and consistent as possible. In the book "One Hundred Tips for a Teacher," the teacher gives priceless covenants to those who decideconnect your life with the upbringing of a real person.
Dry knowledge will not bear fruit
It is more useful to go on an excursion to the forest during the lesson of natural history than to retell the chapters of the textbook. An essay-description, preparation for which takes place in an autumn park, will certainly be more successful than vocabulary work at a school desk. It is impressions that give impetus to the thirst for knowledge, to creativity.
Thinking begins with surprise!
This simple pattern is revealed by Vasily Alexandrovich in his book "I give my heart to children".
To tear off the process of upbringing and education from real life is as stupid as teaching to swim without water. Modern education sins with this, but the connection between theory and practice in education is absolutely natural.
In order not to turn a child into a repository of knowledge, a pantry of truths, rules and formulas, we must teach him to think. The very nature of children's consciousness and children's memory requires that the bright surrounding world with its laws never close before the baby for a minute.
Sukhomlinsky emphasized the importance of the traditions of folk pedagogy - it is intuitive and wise. The role of the father and mother in the upbringing of the child is the most important. Nothing compares to the values instilled in the family, with the knowledge received with love and care.
Sukhomlinsky spoke about the school as the most important step in the formation and development of the child. If at this stage the child meets injustice, callousness, indifference, cognitive interest will be lost, and trustit is very difficult to recover to adults.
A heart given to children
Sukhomlinsky's quotes about education are a pantry of wisdom and simple truths that every parent and teacher needs to know.
Child is a mirror of the moral life of parents. The most valuable moral trait of good parents, which is passed on to children without much effort, is the kindness of mother and father, the ability to do good to people.
No matter how hard teachers try to instill in children culture, values and educate, based on the best traditions, the family is the beginning of everything, its role is stronger and more significant.
Children should live in a world of beauty, games, fairy tales, music, drawing, fantasy, creativity.
Sukhomlinsky's quotes about the nature of a child are vital, relevant, time-tested:
A child cannot live without laughter. If you have not taught him to laugh, joyfully surprised, sympathizing, wishing well, if you have not managed to make him smile wisely and kindly, he will laugh maliciously, his laughter will be a mockery.
The importance of emotions in the upbringing and education of the child Sukhomlinsky noted repeatedly. This is the basis of everything, the key to success in the hard work of a teacher and parents.
Sukhomlynsky's quotes about punishment
To beat or not to beat? This question has always worried thinking parents. Vasily Alexandrovich always spoke out against such measures:
Do not allow your child to be physically abused. There is nothing more harmful and sinister than "strong", volitional means. Strap and slap instead of smart, affectionate,a kind word is a rusty ax instead of a fragile, delicate, sharp chisel of a sculptor. Physical punishment is violence not only on the body, but also on the spirit of a person; the strap makes insensible not only the back, but also the heart, feelings.
If punishment is necessary, then it is worth creating a situation where the child can look inside himself, understand and be ashamed of the offense.
No matter how serious a child's misconduct, but if it is not committed with malicious intent, it should not be punished.
It is useful for a child to engage in physical labor, it forms the will and character. It is rare for a child to break the rules intentionally. Children make mistakes, they have a right to.
He who is beaten wants to be beaten himself. Anyone who wants to beat as a child, as an adult, wants to kill. Crimes, murders, violence are rooted in childhood.
Many more wise words were said by the great teacher in defense of the child - a little man who has the right to childhood.
A burning word from a hundred years ago
His works in the field of pedagogy have not lost their significance, perhaps because they have never been oversaturated with ideology. Motherland, family, friendship, care for one's neighbor, justice, self-esteem - such concepts cannot lose their relevance. If modern education were built on the basis of the golden principles of pedagogy of the 20th century, and did not pursue new technologies, it would not drown out children's interest in learning, but would stimulate cognition and diversified development.
Success in learning is a path that leads to that corner of a child's heart where the flame of desire to be good burns.
This is the key to everything. The modern child is forced to be successful, but this is a heavy burden.
Sukhomlinsky's quotes about school, upbringing, love and duty are the most valuable material for those who seek to understand the nature of the child, his inner world and the secrets of the right approach to education and study. A small person is a personality, it is valuable in itself. Adults should protect the inner world of the child and contribute to its full development.
