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 is defined as "a unique whole composed of multiple qualities formed on the basis of innate traits through interaction with the postnatal environment, which is conducive to self-liberation." Its most important quality is being special and novel. We believe that the fundamental essence of personalized composition is: autonomy, authenticity, innovation, and wholeness.
Autonomy means writing out of a need to express oneself, 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 both a key element of proper writing style and 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 encompasses humanistic sentiment, broad vision, and a broad-minded attitude. Therefore, personalized composition must possess individualized thinking, personalized ideas, personalized planning, and personalized language style, among which, individualized thinking plays a decisive role.
Collecting students' compositions under the banner of individuality is a conscious practice in pursuing personalized composition. We hope this can open up a new era in students' writing, allowing them to love writing, making writing a lifestyle for expressing inner thoughts, showcasing growth, and liberating the soul. Through writing, students can gain freedom of thought, joy in life, and an appreciation of beauty.
