在我国实施普及义务教育的工作中,小学和中学事实上要首先解决功课不及格的、留级的学生,即“困难儿童”的问题。西方的一份资料说,这部分学生约占学生总数的20%,教师的精力和时间大多受到他们的牵制。这个资料的可信度尚待研究,但是,“困难儿童”的课题很值得我们思考和进行调查研究及实验。这里译载苏联著名教育家苏霍姆林斯基的两篇文章,供大家参考。第二篇文章是苏氏于1970年去世前写的,系首次发表。 In our country’s work of popularizing compulsory education, primary and secondary schools should, in fact, first solve the problem of students who fail their homework, that are, students who repeat their grades, that is, “children in difficulty”. A Western source said that some of these students account for about 20% of the total number of students, teachers are mostly their energy and time constraints. The credibility of this data has yet to be studied, but the topic of “difficult children” is worth our consideration and investigation and experiment. Here are two articles from the famous Soviet educator Sukhomlinski for reference. The second essay was written before Susan’s death in 1970, was first published.
