First, under the new situation, moral education in rural middle schools is facing new problems
(A) from the school moral education level
1, emphasizing wisdom over morality, lacking management. Today, when the country vigorously promotes the quality education project, the tendency of many rural areas to unilaterally pursue the enrollment rate has not been fundamentally reversed. Therefore, in the vast rural areas, the concept of major and minor is deeply rooted. As a minor course, moral education has often become a form of "staying in words and slogans to cope with the inspection of superior leaders".
2. Lack of teachers and outdated methods. The total amount of junior high school education in rural areas is insufficient and moral education is weak. Due to the limitation of the overall level of rural junior high school teachers, some rural junior high school teachers bear heavy educational and teaching tasks and are indifferent to students' moral education. They often think that moral education in rural schools should be the business of principals, class teachers and political teachers. At the same time, at present, some rural junior high schools are limited by their own conditions, and the treatment of class teachers is very low and the work is very difficult. Students' moral education basically depends on ideological and political classroom teaching. Under the background of exam-oriented education, political teachers also judge students' ideological and moral status by their grades, often through "the level of political course grades".
3. The problem of "left-behind children" is outstanding. The problem of "left-behind children" in rural areas is one of the difficult problems in moral education in rural junior middle schools. With the development and progress of economy and science and technology, the problem of "left-behind children" is facing new pressures and challenges. At present, the influence of the problem of left-behind children on moral education is mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, with the advancement of urbanization, the number of left-behind children in rural areas has increased year by year; Second, neglect of care and guidance, facing the increasingly rich and diverse material and cultural life, many left-behind children in junior high school students are addicted to online games, fighting and other bad behaviors, and present new problems of diversification and gangs. These new problems have brought unprecedented challenges to moral education in rural junior high schools. However, due to the comprehensive existence and function of various subjective and objective factors, the relevant organizations and mechanisms of schools are absent in the care and management of "left-behind children", and the problem of "left-behind children" has become the bottleneck of moral education in rural junior high schools.
(B) From the perspective of moral education environment, the "grand moral education" system has not yet formed.
From the realistic environment of moral education, the open social environment is impacting the moral belief levee constructed by the school. Under the background of the information age, people's lifestyles and concepts are also undergoing tremendous changes. Various ideologies and cultures have profoundly influenced young students' thoughts and values. In social life, moral anomie, negative corruption and social ugliness in some fields are accompanied by various information channels such as internet, television, books and periodicals, which have brought negative effects on the healthy growth of rural teenagers. The negative effects of modern society largely offset the positive educational role of school moral education.
Third, the improvement strategy of moral education in rural junior high schools under the new situation.
Facing the new trends and new problems faced by moral education in rural junior middle schools, we must cooperate in many ways to solve the practical problem of weak moral education.
(A) from the school moral education: the implementation of key breakthroughs to enhance the effectiveness of moral education at multiple levels.
First, seriously analyze and study the new problems in moral education in rural junior middle schools, update the concept of moral education, innovate the mode of moral education, and realize the effectiveness of moral education; The second is to strengthen leadership, improve the school moral education management network, and realize the organizational construction and institutionalized promotion of moral education; Thirdly, clarify the responsibility, mobilize the enthusiasm of every moral education worker and realize the integrity of moral education; Fourthly, in the management of moral education evaluation, we should establish a scientific evaluation system, attach importance to the process of moral education, and realize the diversification of evaluation subject and evaluation index. Fifth, implement key breakthroughs and explore new ways to improve the effect of moral education in primary and secondary schools, such as exploring a student-centered research-based learning model in moral education teaching; Make use of local natural endowment to actively expand comprehensive moral education practice activities; Establish the position of network moral education, make use of students' interests, strengthen the communication and openness of moral education, guide students to participate extensively, and move from self-knowledge and experience to self-control and independent moral education. Sixth, pay special attention to and generally implement the care project for left-behind children. Schools should take active actions, play a leading role, strengthen communication and interaction with society and families, and explore effective methods of education, guidance and management.
(b) From the environmental point of view, it is suggested that the government take positive actions to establish and implement the "grand moral education" project.
In practical sense, people's governments at all levels must support local education in order to make a breakthrough in moral education in rural junior high schools. First of all, we should truly establish the educational concept of "moral education first" and guide the construction of a good atmosphere of "educating people first and moral education first". Secondly, all education administrative departments should innovate the mechanism of "moral education management" to manage local education, formulate preferential policies, and comprehensively solve the outstanding problems that plague the effective development of moral education in rural junior high schools, such as increasing the number of moral education teachers in rural middle schools, and gradually forming and improving the backbone of moral education in rural primary and secondary schools through various channels; Coordinate the establishment of moral education base in rural middle schools to ensure the effective development of moral education practice in middle schools; Constructing and implementing a relatively complete local policy system to comprehensively promote quality education in this region has provided favorable policy support for the comprehensive implementation of quality education. In short, the government should take positive actions to further improve the educational environment of rural middle schools, provide necessary guarantee conditions for moral education activities, and give preferential support to school moral education in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
