Honesty and trustworthiness is the oldest moral standard of mankind, the fine tradition of the Chinese nation and the basic content of moral education for citizens in China. As a moral requirement, honesty is the basis of all morals, the most important character of people, the cornerstone of social survival and development, and the foundation of building a harmonious campus in colleges and universities. But today, this traditional morality, which has always been regarded as a classic, is facing an unprecedented impact and test. It is impossible for a country with lack of credit and moral decay to develop rapidly and continuously. What is even more worrying is that there are also serious disharmonious factors of lack of credit in colleges and universities known as pure "ivory towers". Whether college students, as outstanding citizens and future builders of the motherland, have honest moral quality is an important issue related to the smooth training of talents in colleges and universities, an important prerequisite for building a harmonious campus in the new period, and also a realistic topic for our educators. Although colleges and universities have always regarded honesty education as the center of moral education, the phenomenon of college students' honesty crisis is constantly developing and spreading, which has to arouse the thinking of our ideological and political workers in colleges and universities. It is a realistic task for us to build a perfect and effective moral construction system of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, and it is also a basic project to strengthen and improve ideological and political education for college students and build a harmonious campus in colleges and universities in the new period.

The present situation and outstanding problems of college students' honesty

As a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, honesty has a strong sense of identity and affinity for students, and as an ideal level of moral cultivation, students generally agree. However, contemporary college students are facing severe challenges in the period of social transformation, especially in today's social employment situation, and their fate is even more bumpy. In the period of rapid social change, the quality and ability of college students to cope with this rapid change are limited by their own social experience, and they are prone to deviation in honesty. In recent years, many experts and scholars have investigated and studied the honesty of college students. The survey results show that the subjective desire of contemporary college students is to show honesty and trustworthiness in behavior, but in reality they show different knowledge and practice.

First, the analysis of the current situation of college students' honesty;

In recent five years, through various surveys and statistical results of college students' honesty, college students' honesty has several characteristics:

1. From the cognitive level, most students regard honesty as an important quality.

In various surveys, more than 80% students believe that honesty plays an important role in the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. At least about 50% of students think honesty is very important, which is the principle of their own communication with others. About 50% of the students think that honesty depends on the specific situation, and different people and things have different judgments.

2. College students divide honesty into two levels: ideal understanding and practical operation.

Various survey results show that honesty is considered important by students as an ideal moral behavior, but it is not fully reflected as a moral practice in real life, which shows that students have different understanding and practice in ideological and moral aspects. At the same time, we can see that for many students, honesty is not a consistent quality cultivation, but a strong randomness and subjectivity.

3. From the perspective of asking others, students generally have higher requirements for the integrity of others, but lower requirements for their own morality, and their own professional integrity is poor.

Quite a few students don't know what "honesty" is.

In some special surveys on honesty, such as the survey on the current situation of honesty and morality of college students in Shanghai conducted by East China Normal University in 2003, 67.0% students admitted cheating during their college years, but the vast majority of these students still considered themselves "honest students" and only 3.9% admitted that they were "not honest and trustworthy people". Among the students who approve of cheating, as many as 95.2% consider themselves "honest". It can be seen that the so-called "honesty" of these students is not honest in the true sense. From this representative survey, we can realize that quite a few students are not clear about the concept of "honesty".

5. College students choose honesty to consider their own economic interests and have a strong utilitarian tendency.

When students choose honesty or not, they think more about their own actual interests. On the premise of satisfying their own interests, they often choose honesty, but when their interests are damaged or tempted by new interests, they may give up their moral standards. It can be seen that the honesty of most students depends on their own interests and has a strong utilitarian tendency.

Second, the outstanding problems of college students' integrity

1, lack of honesty in daily words and deeds, breach of promise and breach of contract.

According to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily, only 6.2% of students have never lied, including 84% kindergarten children, 5 1.3% primary school students, 20. 1% middle school students and 0.48% college students. The concrete manifestations are: borrowing books from the library and delaying their return; ; Families are not difficult but need to apply for financial assistance; Some borrow money and don't pay it back; Make all kinds of false certificates ...

2. Credit integrity: maliciously defaulting on loans and tuition fees, banks and universities are in a difficult situation.

In order to ensure that college students with financial difficulties can successfully complete their studies, the state extended the national student loan from 65438 to 0999, but this activity encountered a "credit crisis". According to the statistics of the education department, from 1999 to 200 1, 57 colleges and universities in a province carried out the national student loan work, and 45,000 poor college students obtained 276 million student loans. However, nearly 20% of the students did not consider repayment after obtaining the loan. Among the 97-grade 2 18 students who signed the national student loan agreement in a school of China Bank, as of 2006, there were 5438+0, 1 1, and only three students contacted China Bank for repayment after graduation. In recent years, many colleges and universities all over the country almost invariably face the serious problem of students' arrears. In addition to the fact that some students really can't afford the high tuition and miscellaneous fees, the deeper and more essential reasons should be attributed to the credit crisis of college students.

At present, the personal credit system of the whole society in China has not been established, which also makes some college students take advantage of the law. The national student loan is based on full trust in college students, and it is a loan that relies on people's credit as a "guarantee". However, it is difficult to implement the national student loan now, because the credit status of college students cannot reassure banks. If the credit problem of college students is not solved and the situation is not improved, it will inevitably affect the healthy and sustainable implementation of the national student loan policy.

3, test integrity: cheating in the exam, repeated prohibitions.

Although all colleges and universities have formulated strict invigilation system, which not only has strict regulations on the discipline of examination room, but also has strict assessment on the duties of invigilators, students' cheating methods emerge one after another, and it is impossible to prevent cheating methods. The author once heard such a voice when communicating with students: In the past, cheaters were found to be very shameful and had to bear great pressure from public opinion, but now people around them understand and even sympathize with cheaters' behavior. For students, the continuous development of communication technology has greatly reduced the "cost" of cheating, which is not only a means of operation, but also the tolerance of students' opinions and public opinion. At present, the phenomenon of college students' cheating has rapidly developed from "individual" to "group" or "group" cheating.

4, employment integrity: job resume, fraud; There is no reason to regret the employment contract.

With the expansion of colleges and universities, college graduates are facing increasing employment pressure. Some students make a fuss about their job resumes, alter their grades, exaggerate the facts, make fake documents, make up stories, and rack their brains to play tricks. In the investigation of employment honesty, honesty, as a quality, shows strong relative characteristics. In the previous survey, more than 60% students thought it was understandable to make appropriate changes to their resumes during job hunting; And quite a few students think that it is understandable to find a more satisfactory unit after signing the employment contract and then breach the contract.

5. Academic integrity: plagiarism is a common practice, and unexpected events happen.

The academic moral education of students in colleges and universities in China has not attracted enough attention. In fact, there are also reports about college students' plagiarism in the newspaper. A large number of "gunner" advertisements and paper trading advertisements flood university campuses and networks; Do experiments to "adjust" the actual data into the ideal data you need; Copying other people's homework, downloading papers from the internet as your own papers, etc. Academic corruption has become an obstacle to academic development and a shadow over the ivory tower on campus. In terms of academic integrity, students often have high demands on teachers and others, but poor demands on themselves. This shows that there are some disadvantages in the current higher education system. Many college students have not established a serious academic outlook and mastered the methods and ways of learning. The learning method of "scissors and paste" has been recognized by quite a few students.

On how to prevent and reduce students' academic fraud, China's colleges and universities basically remain at the level of punishment. I'm afraid it's difficult to punish students who are found to have made academic fraud. Academic fraud, such as plagiarism, is almost negligible because it is difficult to be found and identified.

An analysis of the causes of college students' credit crisis

People are social people, and college students are also social groups, which are also influenced by various social trends and phenomena. The reason of college students' honesty crisis lies in the negative influence of historical accumulation, social environment, family education and many factors inside and outside education.

1. The credit crisis of college students cannot be simply attributed to the decline of college students' moral quality, but has profound social background and many practical reasons. Negative influences such as the wind of dishonesty in society, the imperfection of credit system and the accumulation of history and reality have directly caused the decline of college students' integrity.

For a long time, in the history of Chinese civilization development, although there have been "people who have no faith and don't know what they can do". What can it do without a big car and a small car? "But under the long-term autocracy of feudal society, people's sense of honesty also has a distorted side. In history, the old adage "You can't talk about everyone completely, but you can't throw away all of mine" and "Honest people are easy to suffer losses" has led to the lack of honesty consciousness in the subconscious of college students in the process of education, and the remnants of "hereditary" concept in historical accumulation are still affecting contemporary college students.

In the real society, the wind of dishonesty and uncivilized things are accepted and imitated by some college students. In daily life, dazzling false advertisements and fake and shoddy products can be seen everywhere; There are also enterprises and operators who default on accounts, evade taxes and smuggle foreign exchange; Some units put on airs, engage in formalism, exaggerate false reports and practise fraud ... The phenomenon of dishonesty in society is so rampant that even college students in ivory towers are inevitably unaffected by it. In addition, college students are "educated" by life experience, and honest people always suffer losses, especially those who suffer immediate losses. People who follow the law of good faith will not get much benefit. On the contrary, those who violate honesty everywhere can often get unexpected benefits. These are undoubtedly an extremely bad influence and temptation for college students who are not deeply involved in the world.

In the legal field, there is no personal credit evaluation system, no disciplinary mechanism for dishonesty, and no corresponding legislative norms. The country has not achieved a good unity of legislation, justice and law enforcement in the citizen credit system. For a period of time, the argument that modern society insists on honesty may not conform to the spirit of the times prevailed to a certain extent. Although honesty is respected in concept, it has no obvious binding force in reality.

2. In the long-term education, schools and families pay more attention to intellectual education than honesty education, and the educational environment and means are not conducive to the cultivation of students' honesty and character.

For a long time, schools and family education in our country have emphasized intellectual education, that is, getting high marks in exams, while ignoring moral education for students, thinking that such things can be delayed for the talents we cultivate. In school education, the primary position of intellectual education is incomparable to moral education. Although schools are constantly carrying out moral education, they often only pay attention to the absolute obedience of the educated to the society, but pay insufficient attention to the unity of students' moral understanding, moral attitude and moral behavior. For the educated, more is to talk about the truth blindly, but not enough about the details of college students' lives and the little things around them. In addition, the phenomenon of teachers' red melody on the stage and dishonesty and fraud under the stage also occurs from time to time. In such an educational environment, how to cultivate students' integrity?

In family education, parents can't set an example for their children in honesty and behavior. Some parents teach their children to study hard and not to be playful, but they rush to the mahjong table every night; Some parents educate their children to be civilized and not to quarrel and fight, while couples are constantly beating and cursing; Some parents teach their children to be honest and not to cheat, but they often do some cheating scandals in front of their children ... how can such a tutor cultivate honesty?

From a deeper perspective, the trend of various unhealthy phenomena in the construction of college students' honesty and morality has replaced the guidance of values.

3. The weak sense of responsibility and the lack of reflective ability are the internal causes of college students' credit crisis.

The life experiences of contemporary college students are basically from school to school, and they lack a comprehensive understanding and understanding of the dark side of individuals and society, reality and future, and society. At the same time, due to their lack of rational thinking, analysis and choice ability, it is easy for them to regard some social negative phenomena they have observed as social essence, thus misleading them to lose their concept of honesty and even appear a code of conduct that deviates from citizens' moral norms.

4. Honesty education in schools has little effect:

As we all know, in recent years, not only colleges and universities, but also colleges and universities at all levels attach great importance to students' honesty education, often starting from dolls, but the effect is not good. The author thinks that the main reason for the poor effect of the existing honesty education is that (1) schools do not pay enough attention to the role of teachers' honesty literacy, educational values, professional ethics and professional level in honesty education. (2) The ways and means of education are simple, mostly indoctrination and preaching, and moral education is regarded as political preaching, or as knowledge "transmission", ignoring emotional education. (3) The moral education management system in colleges and universities is not perfect. Because the moral education management in colleges and universities has not yet formed a complete system, it provides an opportunity for college students not to keep good faith. (4) unfairness and dishonesty in the process of implementing various rules and regulations in schools have also had a negative impact on the integrity education of college students. (5) The honesty mechanism fails to introduce students' vital interests, which also makes students' honesty consciousness weak.

Countermeasures to strengthen the construction of college students' honesty and morality

University education should train students to learn to be human, to do things and to know (learn). College students are not deeply involved in the world, and their understanding of credit and honesty is unclear. If they are not given enough attention and correct guidance, they are easily misled by bad social phenomena. At the same time, they have not realized the great role of moral literacy in a person's survival through rich life experience. More importantly, they have not fully realized the consequences of moral anomie. Therefore, to strengthen the moral construction of college students, it is necessary to establish a standardized, scientific and operable honesty education system for college students.

First, in teaching and educating people, we should take moral education as the guide, create a clean school spirit and style of study, and give full play to the exemplary role of teachers.

The purpose of teaching and educating people is to cultivate and bring up workers and successors with good ideological and moral quality, individual psychological quality and high scientific and cultural quality and skills for the society, that is, to have both ability and political integrity. Honesty is the foundation and premise of moral cultivation and success. Therefore, teaching and educating people must grasp the foundation of honesty and moral construction, and always highlight honesty education everywhere.

The author believes that we should pay close attention to honesty education in teaching and educating people from three aspects: First, teachers should lead by example, always be honest in everything, and set an example of honesty and trustworthiness for students. No matter how good the constraint is, it can't take the place of teachers' practice and setting an example first, because teaching by example is more important than teaching by example. Secondly, teachers should always pay attention to honesty education in classroom teaching. Classroom is the main position for teachers to teach and educate people, so we must give full play to its powerful educational function and implement honesty education.

Second, in the management system, strengthen the construction of honesty and morality, and establish a standardized, scientific and operable system of honesty and morality construction for college students.

Honesty education in colleges and universities Up to now, only a few colleges and universities have issued regulations on the management of students' academic ethics, and only for graduate students. The construction of honesty and morality in colleges and universities only depends on positive education, lacking restraint mechanism, and honesty will only exist in ideal understanding. To establish a standardized, scientific and operable system of college students' honesty and moral construction, we should focus on the following aspects:

1. Establish and improve various credit systems and credit moral construction systems, and strengthen credit education.

It is necessary to incorporate the specific provisions of honesty into relevant systems, so that all teachers and students have laws to follow and rules to follow. The so-called honesty and moral construction system refers to the relevant provisions of strengthening honesty and moral education in schools and earnestly implementing the honesty and moral construction system. Never let speculators succeed, and never let trustworthy people suffer. In the credit system, people who violate the principle of credit will not only be condemned, but also punished. The key and powerful means to implement the credit system will play a good guiding role. Especially on issues related to students' vital interests, if reflected, it will certainly play a binding role.

2. Establish a credit evaluation system and corresponding credit files.

Establish students' integrity or personal credit files, gradually realize the system intranet, and connect with the national student status network of the education department to collect students' integrity performance in all aspects, and regard it as an important indicator of employment, graduation and award. In a society with developed economy and sound legal system, personal credit is even more important in banks than other collateral, just like a person's second identity card. The establishment of college students' credit files also makes it the second identity card for study and work. For example, in view of the phenomenon of non-repayment and dishonesty of student loans, we will study and establish a personal credit registration system in China.

(1) Build a credit evaluation system for college students.

Introduce the credit rating index system in the economic field, set up the corresponding credit evaluation department for college students, and construct the credit evaluation system for college students. First of all, we must determine the elements of credit evaluation. We believe that moral qualities such as honesty, credit, integrity and friendliness can be listed as the main factors of evaluation. Secondly, determine the indicators at all levels of the integrity evaluation system, that is, determine several specific items that can reflect the integrity elements of college students; Thirdly, determine the evaluation standard of honesty, divide the honesty status of college students into different grades, and set different grades of standards for each index for reference and positioning; Finally, we can choose the way of honesty evaluation through student self-evaluation, peer evaluation, teacher evaluation and social intermediary evaluation. Through the integrity evaluation system, students' past and present integrity can be evaluated, and the development trend of college students' personal integrity morality can be further predicted.

(2) Establish student credit files.

Introduce social individual credit joint credit information system in colleges and universities, establish student credit files, and establish a unified database management query system. For students with poor integrity, we should take corresponding preventive and punitive measures, such as recording students who fail to keep their promises and giving them corresponding moral and administrative sanctions. The establishment of student credit files can start with 16-year-old students and above. Through personal integrity, such as identity card, household registration, family status, residence, study status (examination, borrowing books), student loan, employment status (resume writing, contract performance), work unit, social insurance, credit record, honor and disgrace, basic experience, academic performance, etc. Establish a general file similar to the loan voucher, which is managed by a department of the school for institutions, employment units and various departments.

At the same time, students' credit performance can be linked with all aspects of their daily study and life, and linked with students' electronic cards, library cards, network cards and other functional cards through the network. Those with bad credit records can be restricted from engaging in related credit activities. If students default on tuition fees or loans, in addition to the corresponding punishment, they will also cancel all credit functions such as borrowing books from the library and surfing the Internet in the computer room. Bad credit records will be blacklisted in the credit information system, which will affect students' study and life.

3. Actively expand credit supervision channels in colleges and universities.

Such as establishing publicity system, application and hearing system, strengthening public opinion supervision of academic activities, and establishing reward system for reporting. Through the establishment of corresponding organizations and institutions, it is responsible for the certification and evaluation of students' integrity and moral quality. Further strengthen the compulsion and guidance of norms, rules and regulations, and promote the formation of college students' good "integrity" concept and academic ethics.

4. Students' self-education should attach importance to the construction of honesty and morality.

With the gradual implementation of quality education in colleges and universities, the quality of students has been continuously improved, and the abilities of self-education, self-management and self-evaluation have been greatly improved. Various self-education and self-care organizations and groups have been vigorously established, laying a good organizational foundation for students' self-integrity education. Attach importance to the construction of honesty and morality in students' self-education. First, guide students, cadres and their self-education organizations to consciously understand the necessity, importance and urgency of honesty and moral construction, which is the forerunner of students' self-education; The second is to guide student cadres, student self-education organizations and student party member to take honesty and trustworthiness as an example, and mobilize students to actively participate in various practices, so that the sense of honesty can be transformed into honesty emotion and honesty behavior.

Third, deepen the honesty practice education of college students, and establish an honest and trustworthy campus atmosphere through colorful extracurricular activities.

We should make full use of students' extracurricular activities, fully rely on all teachers, especially class teachers and student work teachers, and rely on students' various organizations to carry out in-depth and targeted honesty education through various beneficial activities. On the one hand, it is necessary to guide students to cultivate honesty and morality, such as choosing some qualified classes, implementing unmanned invigilation, conducting honesty forums and selecting "honesty pacesetters", on the other hand, it is also necessary to educate educators themselves. At the same time, publicity and activities are carried out simultaneously, and "honesty is glorious, dishonesty is shameful" is actively created on the campus of colleges and universities; "Honest people benefit, dishonest people are hard to do" campus atmosphere.

Fourthly, cultivate social honesty and moral culture, construct social honesty and moral system, embody honesty and moral construction in environmental construction, and guide students to build a harmonious campus.

1. Improve and perfect the social credit system as soon as possible, and establish a credit supervision system consisting of credit management system, credit evaluation system and credit supervision system. In this system, a personal credit inquiry system can also be established, and finally the society will be built into a credit system where everyone pays attention to credit. The establishment of personal credit needs not only the supervision of public opinion, but also a series of credit service intermediaries to provide credit evaluation, management and supervision services. The implementation of honesty and moral education in schools can not be separated from the support of the whole social environment. As a big environment, society has an unshirkable responsibility to undertake the important task of honesty and moral construction. By cultivating the moral culture of social integrity, we can form the concept of honesty and honor, and create a social atmosphere of respecting honesty and despising dishonesty.

2. Reflect the position and role of honesty and moral construction in the idea of running a university, campus environment (including cultural environment and network environment) and public opinion environment.

"Educational environment" is an extensive and multi-level systematic project, including all aspects of school, society and family. First, the idea of running a school should be based on honesty, which is the foundation of a school's survival and development. For example, Beijing Normal University's philosophy of "patriotism and progress, honesty and simplicity, being realistic and innovative, and being a teacher" fully embodies the spirit of patriotism as the core, honesty as the foundation, innovation as the driving force and training high-quality talents as the purpose. Second, the construction of campus environment should reflect the integrity education. For example, we should carefully plan to set up a column on honesty education, properly set up aphorisms and aphorisms on honesty in classrooms, dormitories and public places, set up a website on honesty and moral construction on campus network or enrich the content of honesty and moral construction on various ideological and political education websites. , so as to form a good cultural atmosphere of integrity, so that students can learn from it imperceptibly. The third is to create a good public opinion environment for honesty education and guide students to build a harmonious campus with honest and trustworthy words and deeds. We should make full use of positive public opinion such as radio, blackboard newspaper, school newspaper, television and internet to guide people, inspire people with honest and trustworthy examples, and warn people with fraudulent negative teaching materials. In particular, we should use various forms such as debate, discussion and exchange of ideas, adhere to integrating theory with practice, put facts and reason, refute wrong views and remarks, and help students distinguish right from wrong and improve their ideological understanding.

In a word, the effect of honesty education in colleges and universities is a major event related to the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the nation and the rise and fall of the socialist cause, and it is also a fundamental task related to the survival and development of colleges and universities and the future and destiny of students. Educators in colleges and universities should attach importance to the construction of college students' integrity and morality, actively explore new methods and measures of integrity education, truly cultivate a new generation of high-quality talents who are honest and trustworthy and have both ability and political integrity, and build a healthy and civilized harmonious campus in the new era.
