The "Research on Personalized Composition of Middle School Students" Research Team believes that individuality refers to a person's independence, uniqueness, and irreplaceability. In pedagogy, individuality refers to "a unique whole formed on the basis of innate qualities, through interaction with the post-natal environment, that is conducive to self-liberation and composed of multiple qualities," with its most important quality being distinctiveness and novelty. We believe that the fundamental essence of personalized composition is autonomy, authenticity, innovation, and wholeness.
Autonomy means writing out of a need for expression, writing about what one wants to write, and expressing it in one's preferred way. Authenticity means speaking the truth, writing the truth, and expressing genuine feelings. Seeking truth is the cornerstone of composition style and also a principle of being a person. Innovation means daring to break through old conventions, thinking independently, having one's own unique insights, adopting new expressive methods, and having a fresh style. Only originality is truly personalized. Wholeness means that individuality is not just extreme personal but also rich and social; it possesses humanistic sentiments, broad perspectives, and an open mind. Therefore, personalized composition must embody personalized thinking, personalized reasoning, personalized planning, and personalized language style, with personalized thinking playing a decisive role.
Collecting students' essays under the banner of individuality is a conscious practice in pursuing personalized composition. We hope this can open a new chapter in students' writing, allowing them to love writing, making writing a way of life to express the inner self, showcase growth, and liberate the spirit. Through writing, students can gain freedom of thought, joy in life, and an appreciation of beauty.
