As a qualified psychological teacher, teachers should have basic educational and teaching abilities, including educational and teaching organization ability, teaching design ability, teaching expression ability, educational and teaching communication ability, emergency handling ability in educational and teaching activities, teaching reflection ability, educational and teaching management ability and teaching innovation ability. As an ordinary psychological teacher, you must have your own unique professional quality. According to the characteristics of mental health education, it is not a simple teaching of psychological knowledge or mental health knowledge. It is more a kind of sentiment teaching, paying attention to students' inner feelings. Through the active participation of students and the active guidance of teachers and students, we can create a positive, healthy and upward emotional experience in the classroom and form a better classroom learning atmosphere.
Second, students can have simple psychological counseling and psychotherapy.
As a middle school psychological teacher, we are faced with some middle school students whose thoughts change at any time. Because they will be influenced by different environments and different ideas, their psychology may be hindered at any time. Therefore, in the process of specialization of mental health education teachers, teachers are required to have higher professional ability of psychological counseling and simple psychotherapy, so as to carry out more professional and effective psychological counseling and simple psychotherapy for all students. Only in this way can their mental health be developed.
Three, can organize and plan mental health education activities.
There are various ways to carry out mental health education activities. The main purpose is to make students have a healthy psychology, let students know the importance of physical and mental health development, let students know the connotation of mental health through activities, know how to maintain and promote mental health, and establish a good mentality. All these require psychological teachers to have strong activity planning and organization ability. This requires today's mental health teachers to have higher professional quality.
Fourth, strong scientific research ability.
At present, the goal, content, mode and method of mental health education have not yet formed a unified opinion, which will inevitably affect the effective and orderly development of mental health education activities. Mental health education is a brand-new field, and many places need further systematic research and discussion. In addition, the work of mental health education is strongly regional, and different places have different contents. Therefore, the contents and methods of mental health education in different places should be different; There are also great differences in different regions, cities, schools and students. Therefore, our mental health education should vary from person to person, constantly practice, constantly learn and constantly reflect, and gradually form a thinking mode suitable for local teaching. Therefore, mental health education teachers must have strong scientific research ability.
Mental health education is a long-term teaching process, and so is the professional development of psychological teachers. Although there are still some shortcomings in teaching, there is a lack of patient and meticulous psychological counseling for students, and the existing psychological problems cannot be solved in time. All these need to be corrected and improved constantly in the work, and all our mental health education teachers need to actively explore, strive to improve their professional level and promote the healthy growth of students' body and mind.
(a) Become a mental health teacher.
Some data show that teachers are a high-pressure group. They have to face all kinds of problems from their own families, as well as the high expectations of school leaders and parents, the tasks of education and teaching, and the negative influence of students. Sometimes they will be tired and impatient, and deal with problems to extremes.
Without teachers with mental health, there will be no students with mental health. Therefore, as a psychological teacher, we must first be good at adjusting our mentality. Be a mental health teacher.
(two) to have enough professional knowledge.
Professional theoretical knowledge will guide us how to carry out mental health education in the future, let us know how to have the vision of psychological consultation in education and how to do an important enlightenment education in primary school; Learn the latest international educational concepts and learn to use them; Identify common psychological problems of primary school students, know how to better communicate with primary school students and teach students in accordance with their aptitude; Learn to pay attention to each child's personality development through group counseling. As an excellent psychological teacher, you should have enough professional knowledge.
(3) Pay attention to the change of educational concept.
In today's quality education, we advocate the establishment of a harmonious, equal, democratic and respectful relationship between teachers and students. Only in this way can we close the psychological distance with students. Only when the psychological distance is close, the spatial distance can be narrowed. Therefore, as a psychological teacher, we should close the psychological distance with students and never give students a feeling of being above and inviolable. Let students truly trust themselves, first of all, we must learn to "squat down and look at students."
The saying of "squatting down to see the students" comes from a short story: a young mother took her children to the store, and the dazzling array of goods in the store made the mother excited and reluctant to leave. Although she didn't buy anything, she kept walking and watching with her children. The child finally quit and clamored to go home. Mother said, "You asked for it yourself. Why did you leave at this time? " As he spoke, he found that the child's shoes were untied, so he squatted down to tie the child's shoes. She was about to stand up when she suddenly understood why the child had to go home. It turns out that from the height of the child, you can't see a dazzling array of goods, only the legs wearing various pants and skirts.
Therefore, as a psychological teacher, if you want to understand children, you should look at things around you from the same height as children.
(4) Learn to listen and understand.
Listen carefully to the students' voices, keep the students' affairs in mind and capture the information passed on to us! At the same time, you should understand, there will be many kinds of psychological patients, and you need to understand everyone! Communicate with them emotionally, use your brains to find emotional clues in ordinary events and realize emotional education. Really go into the students' hearts and let them feel the teacher's understanding and attention to him, so that they will trust you.
(5) Be patient.
Even if the counselor can know the cause of the patient soon, don't tell him in a hurry, because many times they need to talk!
