Gratitude is not only a virtue, but also a responsibility. Gratitude is the basic moral standard that everyone should have and the basic accomplishment of being a man. For today's Young Pioneers, gratitude is not only a reward for their parents' upbringing, but also a manifestation of their sense of responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem and sound personality. As long as we all have a grateful heart, we will feel that the world is so beautiful. As long as we all have a grateful heart, our campus and our society will be more harmonious.

In the investigation of the current ideological and moral situation of primary and secondary school students, we found that a considerable number of students have a weak sense of gratitude and a weak sense of family and social responsibility. They demand more from their parents and share less worries for them. Be more critical of teachers and less respectful and understanding; Care less about classmates and think more about yourself; Complaining too much about society and not analyzing objectively ... These phenomena have become the potential crisis of children's ideological and moral education under the new situation, and also reflect the lack and deficiency of school moral education.

As the main position of the Young Pioneers' moral education, the school must take "gratitude education" as the starting point of moral education, carefully cultivate the school's "gratitude culture" and implement all-round "gratitude education" for students. Let students love their parents, teachers, classmates and people around them, and be grateful to those who have given them care and help, so that the emotion of "the kindness of dripping water will be repaid as a spring" will take root, blossom and bear fruit in every student's heart.

Second, the purpose and significance of the study

Gratitude is not only a series of psychological processes, but also a behavioral process. It is an innate contract rule and a moral rule of human noumenon. Is to know, appreciate, repay, thank others for their help, and repay others and society with their own practical actions.

Gratitude education is one of the core contents of socialist spiritual civilization construction, which has far-reaching significance for improving the moral quality of the whole nation. Gratitude is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and an important part of moral education.

Thanksgiving education for primary school students belongs to the category of psychology. Educators use persuasion, guidance, experience and other educational methods in education to help primary school students establish a sense of gratitude, guide students to learn to thank others for their help with their own words and deeds, body language, and repay others and society with actions. China is in a special period of economic transformation and multicultural collision, and the number of only-child groups in our school is increasing day by day. They are often taken care of by several generations, some of them are rich second generation or even rich third generation. Children who grow up in such an environment have a lack of gratitude awareness, poor emotional intelligence, a general lack of love, conscience and responsibility, and poor psychological endurance. Therefore, we think it is necessary to give full play to the role of Young Pioneers' organizations and carry out research on gratitude education for young pioneers.

Cultivating players to learn to share and be grateful from an early age is not only a kind of etiquette, but also a healthy mentality of players. Learn to be grateful, and you will know how to respect others and discover your self-worth. Let team members know how to be grateful and there will be less discrimination. They will treat the whole life with equal eyes, re-treat everyone around them, respect every ordinary job and respect themselves more. In the process of building a harmonious socialist society, it has become an urgent task for educators to carry forward the culture of gratitude and educate our team members to learn to be grateful.

Thanksgiving education for young pioneers is also an important part of school education. China Young Pioneers is a mass organization for children in China, a school for children to study Socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, and a reserve team for building socialism and communism. The essence of Young Pioneers' organizational education is to educate revolutionary ideals, socialist morality and discipline through team organization, which has a strong ideological and political nature. The activities of the Young Pioneers have the characteristics of autonomy. Giving full play to this special role of the Young Pioneers' organization can make up for the shortage of school, family and social education. Judging from the new situation and problems faced by moral education in the new century, we should give full play to the advantages of Young Pioneers in school education, enhance the pertinence, effectiveness and initiative of moral education, and actively adapt to the new requirements of social development for moral education.

In order to implement the "Several Opinions of the State Council of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Strengthening and Improving the Ideological and Moral Construction of Minors", comprehensively implement the "Outline for the Implementation of Civic Moral Construction" and strengthen students' mental health education. In view of the impact of market economy, some adults' world outlook, outlook on life and values are distorted, money worship, hedonism and extreme individualism are growing day by day, and moral deficiency and belief crisis have brought serious negative effects on the healthy growth of the majority of minors; Decadent and backward ideas and the spread of bad information gradually corrode the minds of minors, making a few minors spiritually empty, emotionally pale and misbehaving.

For today's students, gratitude is by no means a simple reward for their parents' upbringing. It is also the embodiment of responsibility, autonomy, self-esteem and sound personality, and it is also an indispensable aspect of building socialist spiritual civilization and building a harmonious socialist society.

After profound reflection and discussion, we believe that according to the running situation of Qingyun Central Primary School in Qiaocheng District of Bozhou City, it is best to carry out "gratitude education" for all students and carefully cultivate the "gratitude culture" of the school to show its running characteristics.

Based on the above thinking, we put forward the topic of "developing gratitude education in the activities of the Young Pioneers". The research helps students to cultivate a sense of gratitude from an early age, to be grateful to their parents, teachers, companions, people around them, and even to nature and the motherland, so that young pioneers can acquire the basic moral standards, civilized accomplishment and social responsibility consciousness necessary as modern citizens and lay a good foundation for their lifelong sustainable development. Gratitude is the basic moral standard that everyone in the society should have, the minimum accomplishment of being a man, a philosophy of life, great wisdom of life and human nature. Thanksgiving education is also a compulsory course for primary school students, especially the only-child students.

Third, the concept and definition of subject

Gratitude: In the Oxford Dictionary, it is defined as "willingness to express gratitude for benefits and give back to others". In the original intention of the west, gratitude means thanking God for giving food for human survival. Later, it was expanded to mean that members of society should always have a tolerant and rewarding heart, remember the help of people around them and forget unhappy things. Modern Chinese Dictionary is interpreted as "expressing gratitude to others for their help". The word "thanks" comes from Guanzhong written by Pan Yue in Jin Dynasty: "Seeing the tiger bravely, feeling grateful and powerless", which means "being grateful". Professor Hu Hongxia's "gratitude" is a kind of cognition, emotion and behavior, which sincerely recognizes the kindness and convenience given to you by nature, society and others, and sincerely returns it.

Thanksgiving education: through various educational activities, children can form a sense of gratitude, learn to be grateful, understand and thank their parents' upbringing, teachers' teaching, friends' help and nature's kindness. It is a kind of emotional education with emotion, a moral education to repay bad with good, and a human education to arouse human nature.

Through gratitude education, students' healthy personality can be cultivated. The key point is to make students form tacit understanding and harmonious interpersonal relationships through heart-to-heart communication and life-to-life dialogue, which is conducive to cultivating students' healthy personality.

Fourth, the research status of similar topics at home and abroad

(A) the status quo of foreign research:

The fourth Thursday of June 165438+ 10 every year is Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is a holiday for westerners to thank God. In order to learn to be grateful, on this day, the whole family got together and thanked God for his kindness and grace in the past year. People should thank God for his kindness in the past year, traditionally entertaining relatives and friends with seasonal fruits and sending food to hungry people who have never met before.

At the beginning of last century, the gratitude of Indian pantheists was gratitude to all things in the world. Everyone is God and everything is God, which should be more in line with modern thinking. Attach importance to the environment and others, that is, the so-called "I am for everyone and everyone is for me", which is also the spirit of mutual assistance. Gratitude is a culture in the west. Under the influence of this culture, people have learned to be grateful, kind and kind since childhood, and completed the humanities education in a subtle way. Charity is very common in western developed countries, and people's charity behavior is also very common, which is the result of gratitude education.

In the process of compiling moral textbooks, Singapore not only conducted extensive surveys on students and teachers at school, but also solicited opinions from people from all walks of life. We also conducted a feedback survey on graduates who have already taken up jobs, and formulated a set of moral education plans and contents that are suitable for social development and students' success.

In Japan, according to the law of students' physical and mental development and the characteristics of students in different grades, the content of moral education is decomposed into different levels, depths and sides, which are repeated in each grade, forming a step-by-step process.

Influenced by Dewey's educational thought, foreign countries especially emphasize the practicality of moral education. On the one hand, they instill some concrete, practical and relatively stable moral rules into students through classroom teaching, on the other hand, they emphasize the subtle influence on students through extracurricular activities (such as academic activities, cultural and sports activities, consulting activities, etc.). Social practice is a prominent part of moral education in American universities, including organized and unorganized.

Most moral education programs in western countries strive to make them operational. Therefore, moral education is valued in every corner of the world. In China, which has a fine tradition, we should pay more attention to students' moral education. Let them learn to be grateful from an early age.

(2) Domestic research status:

The Chinese nation is an ancient nation, and it also advocates benevolence and righteousness. Filial piety is a basic principle of being a man. From "Give me a peach and return me a plum" in the Book of Songs to "Give me a drop of water and return me a spring" that people often say today, they all tell us how to be grateful and how to return our gratitude from different aspects.

In Shanghai, learning to be grateful has been written into the new version of Shanghai middle school students' code. Heilongjiang Province has implemented the "Quantitative Project of Quality Education for College Students", including "Thanksgiving" education. In Fuzhou University, inspired by ideological and moral education such as "gratitude" education, some students actively participate in mountain areas and grass-roots posts, turning gratitude and responsibility to their parents, others and society into motivation to repay society and build the motherland.

With the increasing voice of the society for gratitude education, many research institutions and schools regard gratitude education as the breakthrough point of moral education and carry out research and practice on gratitude education. For example, the research and practice of national youth gratitude education in Central Education Institute, the practice research of rural middle schools in Sichuan General Education Research Institute, the innovation research of gratitude education in the new period in Hexi District Education College of Tianjin, the research of middle school gratitude education activities under the background of new curriculum reform in Tunxi No.4 Middle School in Huangshan City, the practice and research of constructing campus mainstream culture with gratitude education in Haiyan Experimental Middle School in Zhejiang Province, and the research of Yifu Primary School in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, etc.

Fifth, the theoretical basis of the research.

1. Suhomlinski, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, has accumulated rich spiritual wealth in his educational practice for more than 30 years. His book "Pavlis Middle School" is known as "encyclopedia of education" and "living pedagogy". He also made many useful explorations and practices in strengthening students' gratitude education.

2. Psychological humanism theory. Maslow's theory of self-realization holds that human beings have inherent natures such as truth, goodness and beauty, justice and joy, and share common values and moral standards. The key to realizing people's self-realization lies in improving people's "self-knowledge" or self-awareness, so that people can realize their inner potential or value.

3. Psychological behaviorism theory. Watson, an American psychologist, believes that human behavior is acquired, and the environment determines a person's behavior pattern. Normal behavior and pathological behavior are obtained through learning, and can also be changed, increased or eliminated through learning.

4. Cheng Peng, the founder of gratitude education in China. In the process of a large number of educational and teaching practices, Mr. Cheng Peng gradually discovered the lack of gratitude consciousness in the moral education of teenagers, and was deeply saddened by all kinds of social problems caused by this lack of gratitude consciousness. Since 2002, he has devoted himself to the research of gratitude education and actively participated in the promotion and teaching practice of gratitude education. After years of hard exploration and careful study, Mr. Cheng Peng has gradually formed his own distinctive, infectious and shocking speech style and teaching mode of gratitude education, and extended gratitude education from the original single school education to social education, family education, internal training of enterprises and other fields.

5. Luo Ming, a researcher and promoter of gratitude education. One of the founders of China Success Research Association, the founder of China Success Research Network, and the researcher and promoter of Thanksgiving inspirational education. 13 Up to now, he has published more than 800 works in newspapers and famous websites at all levels. Representative works include teaching papers Success and Contemporary Quality Education, Success in Luo Ming, Successful Quality Education, Quality Education Needs Success, etc.
