Regarding the connotation of life education, the relevant person in charge of Shunde Education Bureau said that life education is an educational activity to help students understand life, cherish life, respect life and improve their survival skills and quality of life. At present, the theme education activities such as "Thanksgiving Education", "Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Education", "Health Management" and "Adolescence Education" carried out in primary and secondary schools in Shunde belong to the category of life education. Through "life education", let children face up to difficulties and cherish life, so as to grow up healthily and happily.
The author has noticed that many parents mistakenly think that life education is "safety education", which is also a kind of safety education. In this regard, the person in charge said that this understanding completely narrowed the connotation of life education, but in fact the school did not operate according to "safety education". Su Xiaoman, vice president of Fengsha Primary School, also said, "At first, we also had such a misunderstanding and didn't know how to do it. It was not until we heard the speeches of relevant experts that we realized that life education should be a holistic education, focusing on understanding life, respecting life and fearing life. "
The author believes that, in the most fundamental sense, life education is a kind of holistic education, which is not only related to people's survival and life, but also related to people's growth and development, and more related to people's essence and value. Therefore, life education must be safety education, but if life education is equated with safety education, its connotation will undoubtedly be seriously weakened; Meanwhile, life education is not moral education. The former pays more attention to people's perception and emphasizes people's cognition of life, while the latter cares about people's conduct and belongs to the moral category.
