School is the cradle of cultivating talents and the position of educating people. Secondary vocational schools, as the main position to train secondary vocational and technical talents for the society, need not only excellent skills, but also excellent ideological and moral quality. Therefore, it is particularly important for secondary vocational schools to do moral education well. The biggest difference between secondary vocational education and secondary education is that it highlights the specialization of disciplines, which means that secondary vocational education is essentially a kind of vocational education. This kind of vocational education requires teachers to pay attention not only to the education and cultivation of students' professional knowledge and skills, but also to the cultivation of students' professional ethics and social responsibility. In the final analysis, it is to cultivate students how to behave. The fundamental task of moral education is to teach students how to behave. Professional knowledge education and moral education are interdependent and indispensable, and organically unified in the whole process of secondary vocational school students' training. Knowledge education is the carrier of moral education, which is the soul and lifeline of knowledge education. Good moral quality is conducive to secondary vocational school students to correctly understand their social values, clarify their future social responsibilities, and urge them to better devote themselves to learning and realize their self-worth with what they have learned. Among many forms of moral education in secondary vocational schools, the theme class meeting plays an important role. The moral education function of the theme class meeting with strong pertinence, careful design and proper organization and implementation is better than that of the subject moral education class with preaching as the main form, which has its unique advantages and irreplaceability.
Second, the necessity of innovative theme class meeting form
Although the role of the theme class meeting is obvious, from the situation of most theme class meetings, its moral education function advantages have not been well played. Most students in secondary vocational schools face employment after graduation. The mainstream mode of moral education in secondary vocational schools should be employment-oriented, and its moral education form should focus on improving professional quality and ability. This also requires theme class meetings to teach students how to be a person, how to get along with others, how to adapt to the workplace, how to adapt to society and how to adapt to the ever-changing external environment. However, many theme class meetings in secondary vocational schools have not designed the theme of class meetings according to their own characteristics, and the theme class meetings have no characteristics. Many theme classes are formal and go through the motions. In addition to arranging work, they often lack purposeful and targeted class meeting themes, so they often have nothing to say and nothing to say. The effect of such a theme class meeting is far from the moral education goal of the school. Furthermore, secondary vocational school students have poor learning foundation, weak discipline, weak desire to express, low enthusiasm for participation, and lack of organizational ability, oral expression ability and teamwork ability. When the class teacher doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't prepare carefully before the meeting, the theme class meeting often becomes a mere formality, and the effect is not ideal.
Therefore, the impact of innovative theme class meeting forms on moral education in secondary vocational schools is self-evident. Broadening channels, innovating forms and making moral education targeted must adapt to the needs of the times and social development and constantly adjust and enrich it.
Third, specific operational suggestions
1. Carefully design and choose a good theme.
At present, secondary vocational school students aged 16 and 17 generally have the following characteristics of the times: they accept more information and are active in thinking, but they are not standardized and clear; Strong achievement motivation, eager to become a talent, but the learning purpose is not clear; Looking forward to a bright future and a happy life, but poor fighting spirit; Strong sense of self-reliance, but weak discipline, caring for others and the collective; Seeking novelty, beauty and pleasure, but there is a tendency not to seek progress and enjoy in time.
The head teacher should design different theme class meetings for students in different stages of secondary vocational schools. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three stages according to three levels. Grade one is the first stage. For the students who have just entered the secondary vocational school, on the one hand, they have just arrived in a new environment, and many students really live independently without their parents for the first time, so they have poor ability to deal with and adapt to the environment. On the other hand, according to the author's questionnaire survey, many students are not clear about the purpose of studying in secondary vocational schools, and most students lack a clear career plan. This year's theme class will focus on how to improve the processing ability, adaptability to the environment, ability to get along with others, and clear learning goals and career planning to design the theme. Freshmen enter the second stage after one year of enrollment, mainly to cultivate students' comprehensive quality. The theme class meeting should focus on how to learn and exercise themselves, and guide students to establish a sense of collective honor, team awareness, participation awareness, self-confidence and positive attitude, form professional interests and develop good professional habits. The third grade is the third stage, and students face the problem of finding a job. The theme class meeting at this stage should focus on strengthening employment and entrepreneurship education, and design the theme around employment interview, internship and how to start a business. For example, students can talk about interview experience, invite previous graduates to make employment and entrepreneurship reports, invite employment guidance teachers to give employment and entrepreneurship lectures, and simulate interview scenarios to carry out theme class meetings.
In order to have a strong pertinence, achieve the expected effect, make students willing to talk, and gain something after talking, it is very important to investigate and study in advance. To some extent, we should understand the common psychological problems or hot spots that plague most or some students at the same time, take strengthening the education of ideals and beliefs as the core content of moral education in middle schools, and strengthen ideological education, legal education, moral education and psychological education. It can be said that choosing a good theme is half the battle. A good theme is like the tone of music. A successful theme class meeting should have the following characteristics:
(1) The theme is clear, targeted and attractive.
(2) Rich in content and lively in form, which is deeply loved by students.
(3) There are many students participating in the activities, and the mass is strong.
(4) It is educational, and the students' ideological and moral character has been obviously improved.
(5) Give full play to students' hobbies and specialties, and enhance their wisdom and talents.
2. Create various forms of independent education.
When we hear that class teachers or teachers in secondary vocational schools generally think that students are becoming more and more difficult to manage, it is very difficult to manage well, and there is great pressure. Some teachers even don't want to be class teachers, which is very challenging. So what's the problem? Objectively speaking, both students and teachers should have problems, but the key is the teacher. Teachers should have a positive and optimistic outlook in front of students every day. Teachers should boldly reform and innovate management according to new situations and new problems, and make full use of theme class meetings to educate students in rationality, jurisprudence, philosophy, physiology and psychology.
Traditional moral education is one-way indoctrination, which is characterized by teachers speaking and students listening. Teachers are the source of information and students are the recipients. Modern moral education must change from one-way indoctrination to multi-directional communication and create various educational forms. The key to the success of the theme class meeting lies in careful design in advance, and designers should study and explore all-inclusive ways and means suitable for various conditions.
Common theme class meetings include theoretical theme class meetings, communicative theme class meetings, cultural theme class meetings, competitive theme class meetings, commemorative or celebration theme class meetings, simulation theme class meetings and so on. The process design should be organized, suspenseful, interlocking, step by step, inspiring, resonating with students and being strongly infected. Students should be highly involved in the whole process. Therefore, it is very necessary to adopt flexible and diverse methods and design colorful activities related to people in the process. Scene design should have the characteristics of looseness, conciseness, fluency, harmony and applicability. It should give students a relaxed, beautiful and pleasant feeling. In short, it should not make students feel constrained and inappropriate. The background can be adapted to local conditions, and the arrangement of students' seats should be round, which is easy to make students feel close to each other. Use various forms to stimulate students' interest in activities and their enthusiasm for participation. For example, telling stories, watching movies, playing games, solve riddles on the lanterns, performing sketches and talking about cross talk. Let the students speak, act, practice, guess, draw and discuss in the activity. Moral education is truly successful if it can arouse students' self-thinking and independent choice.
3. The class teacher is the dominant and the students are the main body.
The head teacher should thoroughly study the problems existing in all aspects of students, the actual level and acceptance of students' cognition, consider the content, purpose and form of class meeting according to the students' situation, and then brew with class cadres (or activists) to jointly propose a plan to determine the theme, purpose and requirements, meeting form and division of labor preparation. Class teachers should be good at translating their educational requirements and plans into students' wishes and requirements. We should be good at inspiring and guiding, but we should not be prescriptive and let ourselves go. Fully mobilize students' initiative and creativity, and drive all students to actively participate in various preparatory activities before the meeting. Generally speaking, the class teacher should give full play to the leading role: first, he can lead and guide, that is, he dares to accept it; Second, we must carry forward democracy and be good at centralization; Third, in the design of class meeting, we should fully absorb and process all kinds of semi-finished products provided by students who used to play the main role, and fully estimate the main role of students in class meeting activities.
The theme class meeting can be said to be a form of self-education for students. In the whole process, teachers should give full play to the role of students and let them become their own masters and advisers. Don't do everything backwards, even if there are mistakes. Students receive education in a state of complete trust. This kind of education is pleasant and voluntary, which makes the whole class meeting design suitable for them, suitable for them and gives them a sense of identity. This is also the decisive factor for the success of the theme class meeting. Teachers must be clear, mobilize the whole class to actively participate in the various preparation processes of class meetings, and guide students to carry out self-education.
4. Consolidate the achievements
After the theme class meeting, but also to consolidate the results, generally in the following ways:
(1) Guide and organize students to write compositions, posters, diaries and talk about their experiences. Make students' ideological understanding further deepen. After the thought is further deepened, students are required to write their own thoughts and understanding and communicate in the whole class or in a wider range. For well-written articles, material rewards can be given appropriately to stimulate progress and consolidate achievements.
(2) Guide students to implement the requirements put forward at the theme class meeting and formulate specific plans and measures. After the plans and measures are formulated, the class teacher should guide the class cadres and lead the whole class to implement them step by step. For example, if you want to be an "advanced class collective", then it will not be realized after one month or one semester. If it is realized, we should sum up experience, commend activists and make persistent efforts; If it is not realized, we should find out the reasons, resolutely correct the mistakes, make up for the shortcomings, and strive to achieve it.
(3) Instruct each student to make a personal action plan according to his personal situation, and make regular reports and exchanges to urge students to turn knowledge into action.
In short, if we attach importance to consolidating and deepening the achievements of the theme class meeting, we can avoid the formalism or anticlimactic tendency of making a fuss at the meeting and make the ideological education work really effective. It should be emphasized that no matter which part of the theme class meeting, the class teacher should always implement two principles: first, the principle of students' subjectivity; The other is the principle of education. The head teacher permeates the ideological and moral education into the whole process of class meeting, so that students can continuously improve their ideological and moral level through the development of theme class meeting.
Four. conclusion
The field of education is the field of freedom. In this field of freedom, we should give the educated and educators the right to develop and create their own lives. When suffering is covered, education is freedom. Only when a class teacher is a conscientious person can he "know his friend" and "know him", and he can cope with it freely and do a good job in education management.
The innovation of moral education in secondary vocational schools should determine the "people-oriented" moral education concept, strengthen humanistic education, take people as the subject and foundation of moral education, take people's development as the fundamental starting point, fully understand and grasp people's nature, follow people's cognitive laws, fully guide and satisfy people's legitimate desires, be good at understanding and grasping people's hearts, finally win people's trust, grasp the initiative of education, and truly solve the problems of people's spiritual encouragement, soul shaping and character improvement.
Therefore, how to make good use of the theme class meeting, let students learn technology and culture, and at the same time maintain harmonious school performance, class spirit and study style is the first problem that the class teacher in vocational school thinks about. Undoubtedly, the use of regular theme class meetings based on students' participation can play a better educational effect. Let students carry out self-education, self-management and self-service in the theme class meeting. Class teachers can improve students' ability of organization, planning, coordination and expression by organizing theme class meetings. At the same time, a meaningful theme class meeting is also conducive to harmonious teacher-student relationship and student relationship, providing students with a stage to show themselves as much as possible and enhancing class cohesion.
In a word, moral education in secondary vocational schools is a very theoretical and practical work, which requires us to have a sense of overall situation and a sense of historical responsibility, to combine theory with practice closely and to innovate constantly.
