Q：對你來說，什么是好的教育?

Lisa: 理想的教育可以培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的思維能力和學(xué)習(xí)能力，使學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中不斷地提高自信心和自尊心，最終建立起對自己的認(rèn)知。孩子有著與生俱來的好奇心和求知欲，教育的第一步就是激發(fā)學(xué)生的好奇心，滿足孩子在這方面的追求，而不是扼殺它。我們生活的世界并沒有被切割為一個個被稱為“學(xué)校科目”的部分，那么為什么學(xué)校要硬生生地用一個個科目來教孩子？

我認(rèn)為“基于現(xiàn)象學(xué)習(xí)”才是正當(dāng)?shù)?，學(xué)生對某個現(xiàn)象感興趣，想了解得更多，從而深入而徹底地挖掘相關(guān)知識。這種學(xué)習(xí)方式可以讓學(xué)生了解不同事物之間的聯(lián)系，從而建立起完整的知識框架。他們觀察到的現(xiàn)象是真實存在的，并且可以從許多不同的角度去思考它。讓學(xué)習(xí)變得真實，讓知識與真實世界聯(lián)系起來，是至關(guān)重要的。這也可以開拓學(xué)生的眼界。

 學(xué)習(xí)的意義應(yīng)當(dāng)是加深我們對周遭世界、對宇宙的理解；老師要做的，應(yīng)當(dāng)是給學(xué)生足夠的挑戰(zhàn)，讓他們能夠充分發(fā)揮自己的全部才能；而教育的目標(biāo)，應(yīng)當(dāng)是幫助學(xué)生找到自己的長處，從而在社會中立足，發(fā)揮自己的長處去幫助和造福別人，同時收獲快樂。教育讓我們最大限度地索取，然后再利用自己所學(xué)的知識去服務(wù)他人。這就超越了個人意義上的學(xué)習(xí)，進(jìn)而上升到了社會場景中個人與他人的關(guān)系。教育讓我們感受到自己是有用的人、受人尊敬的人；教育是發(fā)揮自己的才能，去實現(xiàn)一個更偉大的目標(biāo)，同時收獲自我價值與幸福感。

What is good or ideal education?

Ideal education is the development of thinking and learning skills with the ultimate goal of building and increasing the students’ self-esteem and self-image as a learner. It starts from igniting curiosity. Children are naturally curious. School should feed into that curiosity instead of killing it. The world around us in not broken up into segments called school subjects, so why should school be? I believe in phenomenon based learning, where the learners interest is aroused to find out about a phenomenon and dig as deep into it as possible. Phenomenon based learning will lead to the student understanding how different things are connected and build whole entities. They are real issues that can be looked at from many different angles and perspectives. Making studying and learning real and connected to the student’s own world is a key factor. From there it is good to broaden horizons.

The meaning of learning should be to increase understanding of the world and universe around us and to give the students challenges that will help them reach their full potential. The goal of education should, in my opinion, be for the learner to find their strengths and through them their place in the surrounding world and society, where their skills can be of use and joy to themselves and others. It’s about getting the most out of life and giving back to it in service to others. So it is not just about the individual, but rather the individual in relation to others in a social context. It’s about feeling meaningful and appreciated in society. It’s about self-worth and happiness in being able to use one’s own talents for the benefit of a bigger cause.
