Abstract:In present traditional teaching, teachers are often the dictators in the classes where they desperately hope students can succeed. But they often neglect students’ emotions, and it may result in the happening of tragedy. The famous American movie Dead Poets Society directed by Peter Will shows us a great American male teacher who use the new way to teach students, under the huge pressure of the traditional education and the strong doubt. The movie displays us his education philosophy concentrating on equality, creation and love. The philosophy of Life Education, thinking and behavior, included in the movie, can give us some implication which is the transforming from the traditional teaching to Life Education. As teachers, we are supposed to keep expanding our thoughts, and encouraging students to think and creat bravely. At the same time, we should care and love students, give them more understanding, respect and trust, and build the harmonious relationship with students.

中文摘要:在当下的传统教学中，教师经常成为班级的唯一统治者，他们不顾一切地希望学生成功，但却忽略了学生的感受，最终可能会导致悲剧的发生。由彼得.威尔导演的美国著名影片《死亡诗社》让我们看到了一位优秀的美国教师，在遭遇传统教育制度的压力和强烈的质疑下在教学中使用了新的教育方式，表现出他平等、创新和仁爱的现代教育理念。影片展示出的教育理念、教学思想和行为能给许多教育工作者些许启示：传统教学向生命化教学转型；作为教师，要不断更新思维方式，要鼓励学生善于思考，敢于创新，同时应该更多地关爱和了解学生，给予他们理解、尊重和信任，与学生共建和谐、互爱的师生关系。
