What is education? Rousseau, Pestalozzi and Froebel believe that "education is development", and they focus on nature; Dewey’s thought that "education is growth" and he focused on society. However, whether we focus on nature or society, we find that the commonness they have expounded on education can be summarized as follows: education is a kind of guidance when people grow up physically and mentally, it helps us to build the outline of the world, and its existence makes us more adapt to the development of society.
What is childhood? Rousseau believes that childhood is not only the closest stage of human life to the "natural state", but also the most completely preserved period of nature. In childhood, we can follow our heart to the greatest extent, and make corresponding actions from the direct expression of inner feelings. In childhood, we will decorate the earth with rainbows, and spare no effort to describe the world in our eyes with all the beautiful words. Leaving aside those secular prejudices and established right and wrong, children feel the world more directly and truly, and the scenery in their eyes is more beautiful and warm. We want to grasp the children’s most authentic thoughts and let them express themselves at the age when they should be dreaming. They may be very small, so small that they are far away from society, but smallness itself is never small.
Since its establishment, "Fun Word" has always taken the concept of "from bilingual education to bilingual cultural" as the goal, and sent invitations to outstanding children educators around the world, so that their professional knowledge can be used in English, speech, performance, music and other ways to carry out all-round art education. Through creative art education, let children enjoy the pleasure of vigorous life and explore the infinite possibilities of children’s future strength!
Its idea coincides with teacher Ginalina’s: based on her beautiful belief in the "nature" of children’s lives, she always believes that the inner growth energy of children is the strongest magic in children’s hearts, just like every small grain of rice, which will grow into golden ears of wheat after being watered with warmth and love. At the same time, she also believes in the power of family, and believes that the initial unit of love is home. "We love children, with words and actions; Children love us with smiles and happiness. When love exists, family relationships become warm and strong!
In the process of composing songs, teacher Ginalina integrates its educational significance and methods: paying attention to children’s value and potential, small but mighty is they on the value of every child and the potential they have to make the world better.
So who is Ginalina?
