Educator Time Country Way of teaching

Confucius Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history China with the principles of good conduct, practical wisdom, and proper social relationships

Anton Makarenko 1888–1939 Russia His theories emphasized the importance of physical labor, discipline, and the collective in education.

Anne Sullivan 1866-1936 the USA a special educator

show love and patience to students

Tao Xingzhi 1891-1946 China the theory of "Life Education"

he proposed "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting."

He believed that one should do first, then one will know.

(For Ss’ limited knowledge, teachers can show the following information.)

Confucius (551-479 BC -- Wade-Giles K'ung-fu-tzu or Pinyin Kongfuzi), or Master K'ung, whose life defines the end of the Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history, becomes long after his death the dominant Chinese philosopher both morally and politically. In the Warring States Period Mencius (Meng Tzu) (c.390-305 BC) extended and systematized Confucius's ideas; but with Confucius's adoption in the Hàn Dynasty as the official moral and political doctrine of the State, the Confucian tradition became so broad that "Scholar" or "Literatus" became all but synonymous with "Confucian," and so Confucianism could simply be called the Ju Chia [Pinyin Ru Jia], or School of the Literati. As one of the "Three Ways," together with Taoism and Buddhism, Confucianism also grew into one of the traditional religions of the Hàn Chinese.

Confucianism, major system of thought in China, developed from the teachings of Confucius and his disciples, and concerned with the principles of good conduct, practical wisdom, and proper social relationships. Confucianism has influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It has spread from China to Korea, Japan, and Vietnam and has aroused interest among Western scholars.

Makarenko, Anton Semyonovich, 1888–1939, Russian educator. In the 1920s, Makarenko organized the Gorky Colony, a home for children left homeless by the Russian Revolution of Oct., 1917. In 1931 became head of Dzerzhinsky Commune, an institution for juvenile offenders. A supporter of Stalin, his theories emphasized the importance of physical labor, discipline, and the collective in education.

Annie Sullivan was born April fourteenth, 1866, to Irish parents. When she was nine years old, Annie went to a town called Tewksbury because her mother had died and the rest of her family did not want to care for her. Annie sometimes threw temper tantrums. She had to live in the poorhouse. While she was there, the illness that had been in her eyes since she was three caused her to become blind. On March third, 1887, Annie Sullivan met Helen Keller for the first time, she was to be her governess. Helen Keller had also become blind, but she was also deaf and mute. Annie helped Helen talk, read, write and feel things. Annie made Helen happy and helped her to have a good life. In 1900, Annie helped Helen get into college and Helen graduated in 1904. On October nineteenth, 1936, Annie Sullivan passed away, leaving Helen Keller by herself. Annie Sullivan is remembered for the good things she did for Helen Keller and her family.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi is a great Chinese educationalist for the people. Born on October 18 in 1891 in She County of Anhui Province, he went to study in the US after graduating from Jinling University in 1914. Back to China in 1917.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi lived during the critical period of Chinese people and nation suffered by calamity and grief. He was "giving whole-heartedly to the people and taking nothing back", sharing both happiness and sadness with the general public and working closely with Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Tao spared no effort for his whole life and had made indelible contribution for the cause of people's education, liberation and democracy. Mr. Tao Xingzhi left behind works of 6 million words, which is a treasure for the mankind. Pooling the souls of thinkings of different educationists, he founded the theory of "Life Education", laying the spiritual foundation for the reform and development of Chinese people's education. Abundantly connotated and precisely dissertated, this theory is closely bound up with the current educationalism with Chinese characteristics. When he passed away, Mrs. Song Qingling eulogized him as "model of teachers for ever", and Mr. Guo Moruo praised him "Two thousand years ago, we had Confucius, and now two thousand years later, we have Mr. Tao Xingzhi". A learned and respectable paragon for teachers, Mr. Tao is deserved to be a "Giant" in China's modern history of education.

Tao believed that school must be closely connected to society to play a vital role in social reform and that education is an active, constructive process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told.

Tao looked at "society as school"; instead of "education as life," he saw "life as education"; and, instead of "learning by doing," he proposed "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting."As part of his dedication to his ideas, Tao changed his name twice to reflect his beliefs. From Tao Wen Tsing, the name his parents gave to reflect their hopes for him, he became Tao Zhixing, which means, "knowing then doing." Finally, he became Tao Xingzhi, which means, "doing then knowing," because he believed that one should do first, then one will know. Mr. Tao Xingzhi belongs to not only China, but also the whole world.

Step 2 Listening

Say to Ss: The four educators made great contributions to the young students’ education. And we know that education is of great importance to a country. The education in China has been improved a lot. But there are still a lot for us to do and to be learned from other countries.

Part 2 Discourse Studies 第二部分篇章學習

In 1986, the Chinese government introduced the law of “compulsory education” by the year of 2000.

Para. 1 the UNSCO raised the goal of “Education for all” in 2000

Para. 2

It is important to encourage the students in rural areas to accept education. The governments try to solve the problem of teaching quality in remote areas. The countries try different ways to meet the cost. Many countries face the problems of number and location.

“ Education for all” is an international target demanding great efforts.

3. A retold passage of the text 課文復述

Retell the text using about 100 words.

Notes:

1. Try to use your own words.

2. Make use of the chart above while retelling.

3. The possible version below can be used as material for both retelling and dictation.

A possible version of the retold text:

In 1986, the Chinese government introduced the law of “nine years of compulsory education” for every Chinese child by the year 2000, which turns out highly successful. Besides China, all the governments in the world realize the importance of education. For the calculated 113 million children not being in school from the World Education Forum, the UNESCO made a commitment to provide “education for all” by 2015. To create a positive attitude is important in carrying out the goal, especially in areas where agriculture plays an important role and children have a tendency to be absent and often drop out to help work in the fields. China’s large population and big land produce the large class sizes and mixed-grade classes. The “distance learning” methods with the help of two-way radio and mail is useful in Australia where the population is very spread out. For the reason that the success in bringing education to all depends on economy, some governments rely on aid from other countries, international organizations. Every country faces problems in education, which makes the governments look for ways to solve them. The Chinese government has overcome problems to accomplish the goal. So the goal will be a huge task for the world.
