Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 262 The Professors' Progress! The Effects of Muggle Talent Education Are Showing!

Thanks to the successful implementation of the Muggle talent recruitment program, as of mid-to-late November, Hogsmeade Village had more than seventy Muggle talents who had passed the interviews conducted by Dudley and Dumbledore.

The professors at Hogwarts would take time out of their spare time to attend classes in the Professor Training Room, which was converted from the Shrieking Shack, to absorb the advanced knowledge and ideas of Muggle talents.

Professor Binns, the ghost who teaches the history of magic, absorbed the materialist dialectical view of history taught to him by a Muggle history expert.

Although ghosts and wizards are somewhat incompatible with materialism, the theory of viewing history dialectically, summarizing historical laws, and finding the future direction of mankind from historical laws is also applicable to the wizarding community.

Since absorbing this new set of ideas, Professor Binns has become less confused and no longer teaches by rote, nor does he use unpleasant arias to hypnotize his students.

Instead, they discarded the history textbooks on magic that had been abridged by previous rulers of the magical world, and instead, with great enthusiasm and energy, summarized the history of wizards' development for their students.

He also drew on a wide range of sources, citing ancient Roman and Chinese history that he had learned from Muggle history experts, to tell his students.

From an objective and dialectical perspective, we work with students to summarize the laws of historical development, broaden their worldview, and enhance their values.

Professor Binns is a ghost that has lived for thousands of years, spanning multiple eras; he is himself a living history book.

In the past, he was only interested in teaching itself and verifying all sorts of miscellaneous historical facts, whether useful or not, without realizing what role history classes should play for students.

Looking back now, it seems he lived for decades in vain and died for nearly a thousand years in vain.

What use is it to confirm the preferences and quirks of a medieval wizard, no matter how detailed or clear the historical facts are?

Aside from providing a little inspiration for pranks to the two mischievous problem students in Gryffindor, it offers absolutely no enlightenment to normal students.

Professor Binns has awakened. In the next millennium, he is determined to bring about earth-shattering changes to Hogwarts and the wizarding world with a completely new history of magic course.

Snape, who mainly taught Potions, also changed his teaching style. He no longer easily used his sharp tongue on his students, and the phenomenon of mild corporal punishment was largely eliminated.

Their attitude towards the students has softened considerably.

This is not only because Muggle psychologists guided Snape to understand how to roughly analyze students' psychology and what attitudes and methods to use to teach them in order to achieve better results.

Furthermore, Snape's knowledge that Lily had a chance to be resurrected gave him a purpose and hope in his life, making his inner mental state very different from before.

Minerva McGonagall, the Vice-Headmistress of Hogwarts, Head of Gryffindor House, Transfiguration Professor, and the school's most burdened and responsible staff member who had to handle many tasks that originally belonged to the Headmaster but were pushed onto by the lazy Headmaster, also gradually changed her style of doing things thanks to the guidance of the Muggle talents.

Professor McGonagall is actually a very gentle and easy-going person.

However, due to her previous identity and understanding, she believed that she had to maintain a serious demeanor at all times in order to establish her own authority and that of school rules and regulations, to treat every student equally and strictly, and to better play the role of school order manager.

With the guidance of a Muggle psychologist, she gradually realized that maintaining order fairly and equally only requires clear rewards and punishments, without always having a stern face.

Always presenting a serious expression may intimidate many students and reduce the difficulty of management, but it also suppresses one's own feelings and emotions, which is counterproductive.

By mastering educational psychology, we can apply different educational methods to different types of students. This way, we can achieve better educational results without having to pretend or suppress our true nature.

It's a bit more troublesome and busier, but even without that, Professor McGonagall doesn't have much free time, so she might as well take on more work so she can be more comfortable.

As for Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, and other professors, they also gained something to varying degrees, and their teaching level improved to some extent.

Professor Sprout learned new ideas for cultivating herbs and optimizing breeding from Muggle talents who were experts in genetics.

This was an unexpected surprise. Dudley had originally proposed finding genetic biologists to break down the bloodline discrimination in the magical world and fundamentally reject the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy, but he never expected it to have such an inspiration.

Professor Flitwick specializes in child psychology and hopes to use this subject to guide young wizards to develop their mental powers, like Dudley and Harry, and create their own spells.

Professor Karedi Bubbaje, the Muggle Studies professor, is one of the most dedicated professors to learning from Muggle talents. She is interested in all Muggle talents' knowledge, but is most interested in sociology and social psychology.

This was determined by the courses he taught; the Muggle Studies course was not originally established to learn advanced knowledge and ideas from Muggles.

Rather, it was to help wizards understand Muggle society, making it easier for them to infiltrate the Muggle world without being seen as freaks because their clothing and behavior didn't fit in.

However, Professor Bubbaze, a kind-hearted woman who opposed discrimination against Muggles, had long wanted the curriculum to be limited to this. With the current Hogwarts educational reforms, she had an excellent opportunity to evolve the course.

After Professor Bubbaje learned about Muggle sociology and social psychology, he began to guide his students to think deeply about the drawbacks and shortcomings of modern wizarding society, which also helped the young wizards better understand the commonalities between wizarding and Muggle society.

Wizards and Muggles are both human.

Wizards have magic, Muggles have technology.

There are fewer wizards than Muggles.

The roles and responsibilities in wizarding society can be found one-to-one in Muggle society.

Problems that arise in wizarding societies can also be found in Muggle societies, along with corresponding solutions.

This has great reference value for the progress of the entire magical world.

At the same time, by deepening their understanding of Muggle society, young wizards can gradually let go of their wizarding pride and treat Muggles with a more equal attitude.

This is of great benefit to the peace and stability of the entire magical world.

Another new course that greatly benefits the order of the magical world and also enhances the understanding of young wizards is the 'Great Wizards' Mindset Enhancement Course' created by the portrait of Dumbledore.

The new course officially began in mid-to-late November, just before the start of the school Quidditch tournament.
