Who is stifling the creativity of Chinese children

I read a report that "a survey of 21 countries around the world conducted by the International Assessment of Educational Progress shows that Chinese children rank first in the world in numeracy, but they rank first from the bottom in imagination and fifth from the bottom in creativity." "Are our children really lacking in creativity? I think this result is convincing, but not absolutely, 60 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in various fields, we have indeed not cultivated a master who has influenced the world, and we have won very few world-class scientific awards.

But I still think that our children are not lacking in creativity, but that creativity is stifled. For a long time, we have been implementing a unified education system, all schools use the same teaching materials, and under this strict unified system, schools have become factories, classrooms have become workshops, teachers have become workers, and students have become the same products. There is even more terrible is the unified examination and evaluation system, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, all people fight endlessly for "points" of life, teachers work for "points", students study for "points" (they refuse to learn more), parents run for "points", in this case, how do you let children be creative?

This kind of exam-oriented education makes children lack the most basic ** interest in learning, every child, including ourselves, is grinding on this machine, smoothing the edges and corners, grinding away my interest, grinding out our creativity, some people say that this kind of education system is the pinnacle of the imperial examination system, I don't think it's an exaggeration.

1. The extraordinary recognition of all creativity is also an important factor that stifles the development of Chinese creativity. Chinese's understanding of creativity has always been influenced by the "extraordinary" view, that is, creativity is linked to major breakthroughs and inventions in science and technology, and creativity is the specialty of a few geniuses and the manifestation of special ability. If we look at creativity in this way, we will never get ahead in this life, because we will never be able to reach the level of Newton, Edison, Einstein, etc.

In this regard, we should get rid of the misunderstanding of the "extraordinary theory" of creativity cognition, vigorously advocate the "ordinary" viewpoint, combine creativity with the innovation and changes of daily life, and regard creativity as an innate ability of everyone, which needs to be continuously developed and utilized. In fact, creativity is diverse, life-oriented, and ubiquitous in life.

I think it's the kind of environment that lacks hands-on ability, not that the kind of partial memory is consuming the creativity of the Chinese, memory is to let you master knowledge, if you can't even master the basic knowledge, then how to create? I think it's just that there is no hands-on and no implementation environment, so people can't realize some ideas even when they are young, and they don't have ideas at all when they grow up. I remember when I was a kid and my friends, when you were chatting on the road, you put forward a lot of strange ideas, and I still think that the ideas at that time were amazing, but I have to say that every day there are new ideas, I think it is a manifestation of creativity, maybe in the end she can't implement it.

But have these adults really been able to come up with such ideas up to now? I think it's the growth of age that causes a person's creativity to gradually fade.

In my opinion, the fundamental reason for stifling Chinese creativity lies in the constraints of traditional concepts, and compared with Westerners, Chinese concepts and thinking are generally relatively simple.

1. Restrained, not open enough, better at learning and transforming something, rather than creating something from scratch, in the long run, creativity will be invisibly stifled a lot.

It's a traditional idea, when a child draws a four-like picture, if the parent happens to come over at this time, they will say, you see other people's children draw so well, what are you drawing? I can't even read it. But in fact, this painting contains the child's imagination, if the parents give praise, the child will retain this innocence and imagination, if the parents give bad comments, this imagination will always stop at the idea, will not appear again.

Parents think that only by drawing works that follow the rules can they get high scores, but they don't think that unlimited creativity can give their children a better future.

I think the current education system has stifled China's creativity, because our current education is still mainly exam-oriented education, which mainly determines a student's excellence based on grades, and does not pay enough attention to children's interests and hobbies, so it leads to children's general lack of creativity when they grow up.

The creativity of the Chinese is stifled by their parents when they are children. I have several friends who are like this, and when their children are drawing, they always point and tell them to draw circles and verticals. Children have no imagination of their own in creation, they all do according to their parents' thoughts, and they will not be creative when they grow up to do other things.

Only laziness stifles creativity, because laziness is one of the main reasons for stifling creativity, but only through continuous efforts can we overcome laziness and then have more creativity, when overcoming laziness, creativity will naturally be greatly improved.

In the past, what stifled the creativity of the Chinese was that there was no knowledge and no culture. But now the countrymen. Creativity is top notch in the world.

It's like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. That's the integration of a lot of patents in the world. So let's talk about Chinese creativity now.

It can be recognized in the world.

Human creativity is the crystallization of life experience. Creativity is also a hands-on ability.

After reading the article "Why Chinese Children Lack Creativity", I wondered if it is really Chinese children who lack imagination? For my own understanding, the answer should be no. However, because a considerable part of the parents in Chinese society are learning for the sake of their children's learning, for example, what the children in the neighborhood are learning, we cannot lag behind others and follow along, and the children receive an oppressive way of education and passive absorption of knowledge.

In the family concept, as long as the child has good grades and can be admitted to college, it is the greatest reward for them, and they will not think about whether the child can adapt to the changes in this society in the future. Even when the child is curious about everything at a very young age, such as disassembling furniture, electronic devices and other things that are very meaningful to him, as a parent, he will often scold the child, in fact, in these processes, the child's creativity and a desire to discover the unknown are constantly worn out, so that in the end, he is not interested in many new things, thinking that as long as he is admitted to university, it will be fine. However, it is often difficult for college graduates to find a satisfying job.

Today's society is constantly changing, and new things are constantly emerging, which requires a large number of creative talents. Creative people are needed to understand these new things. Resulting in the lack of creativity of children, I personally think that a considerable part of the reason is that the current Chinese society is a society with strict family planning, many families are only children, children are growing up under the doting of their parents, everything is food to open their mouths, clothes to stretch their hands, children rarely need to go through their own efforts to get what they want, these make children more inert, will not seek innovation, let alone think about what I want to create, because parents will give me everything.
