Carrying out labor education for primary and middle school students can not only improve labor cognition, learn labor skills and cultivate hobbies.

At the same time, labor education has a good multi-directional permeability to other "four educations" in the training system of "moral, intellectual, physical and artistic work"-which is conducive to the all-round development of students' "moral, intellectual, physical and artistic work".

The significance of labor education can be summarized as the following six aspects.

1

Moral Cultivation: Cultivating Students' Good Moral Quality

Labor education for students is an important part of children's moral quality. The implementation of labor education can enable students to establish the viewpoint that labor creates everything, understand the glory of labor, know that their happiness is created by labor, love labor and working people, and promote the formation of students' good moral character.

For example, through housework and self-help labor, such as washing clothes, sweeping the floor, making the bed, cooking, washing dishes, chopsticks and so on.

In these labors, students have established the concept of labor and the idea of serving others. At the same time, constantly overcoming difficulties in labor is also conducive to the formation of a strong will, and also enables them to develop good virtues of diligence, thrift, courage and honesty.

Cultivating talents and intelligence: improving students' intelligence and creativity

Suhomlinski, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, said: "Labor plays a particularly important role in the intellectual development of teenagers, and children's intelligence is reflected at their fingertips."

This passage vividly illustrates the role of labor in children's growth.

Children who love labor and are dexterous with their hands generally have clear and agile thinking and like to learn.

When working, because the central nervous system is in a positive state, it is very conducive to developing students' creative thinking, and labor can also enrich knowledge and develop intelligence.

For example, in labor, children must really feel the characteristics of materials (shape, weight, hardness, luster, luminosity, temperature, etc.). By looking and touching, this provides favorable conditions for the development of thinking and imagination.

03

Beauty and Fitness: Today's students are all brought up in honeypots. Except those who love sports, they seldom exercise, which is not conducive to their healthy growth. In the process of growing up, primary and secondary school students are organized to participate in certain labor, so that all parts of the body can be exercised in different labor.

Enhance the functions of various organs of the body, so that muscles and bones can be exercised, thus improving students' resistance to diseases and achieving the purpose of strengthening the body.

When carrying out labor education, the school consciously arranges those students who are weak and usually inactive to participate in labor and physical exercise within their ability.

After more than a year, their bodies became stronger, some of them became excellent athletes, and their intelligence was also developed, and their study of cultural courses was also significantly improved.

Facts show that labor education can promote the healthy development of primary school students.

04

Enhance cognition: guide middle school students to love labor and respect workers.

Love of labor and respect for workers can't just rely on the teacher's preaching. Students themselves will have a deeper understanding of the value and significance of labor in the experience gained from engaging in labor.

For most primary and middle school students, they don't know the hard work of crops, and they don't know that their excellent life is bought by the hard work of countless workers, including their parents, so it is difficult for them to respect their work from the heart.

05

Mastering Skills: Improving Students' Self-help Practical Skills

According to media reports, the cost of domestic service in China is getting higher and higher. No matter how to change a lamp, connect a sewer and repair a small household appliance at home, it is always 100 yuan, which increases the living cost of urban residents (families).

But in fact, these labor skills can be mastered without resorting to others as long as there are some basic tools.

Therefore, the current labor education and training for primary and secondary school students is also to improve their present and future "self-service" ability.

06

Cultivate interest: guide students to find their own personal interests.

The scope of labor education is very wide, including handicraft industry, agricultural planting and breeding, industrial production, carpentry and so on.

When students master these skills, they can not only solve the problems they encounter in their personal life, but also develop their personal interests and hobbies and find their own spiritual sustenance.

It can be said that this is something that can benefit people (in life and career) for life.
