教育与教学是显然不同的两个概念。教学应当从属或包含于教育之中。换言之,教学是教育的一部分,或者说,教学是实现教育目的的一项内容、一个载体、一种手段。我们从事的工作是教育而不只是教学。我们是教育工作者而不只是教学工作者。现实中,受种种因素的影响,我们却经常将二者混同,将教育工作简单化、庸俗化、功利化,以单纯的教学代替教育,或者重视了教学却轻视甚至忽视了教育。因为没有站在教育的高度,只是一味地就教学而教学,结果是,学生没有受到应有的教育,教学质量也难以得到大的持续提高。 Education and teaching are obviously two different concepts. Teaching should be subordinate to or included in education. In other words, teaching is a part of education, or teaching is a content, a carrier, and a means to achieve educational goals. The work we do is education, not teaching. We are educators and not just teaching workers. In reality, under the influence of various factors, we often mix the two together, simplify education, vulgarization, and utilitarianism. We use simple teaching instead of education, or we value teaching but neglect or even ignore education. Because we did not stand at the height of education, we simply taught teaching. As a result, students did not receive the education they deserved, and the quality of education was hard to continuously improve.
