School education is also the most important part of one's life. Individuals receive planned guidance at school and systematically learn cultural knowledge, social norms, moral standards and values. In a sense, school education determines the level and nature of individual socialization, is an important base of individual socialization, and determines the overall national quality level of a country; Moreover, the future world is a world of talent competition, and school education bears the responsibility of cultivating talents and determines the development and future of a country.
First, the main purpose of school education
1983, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that education should face modernization, the world and the future. China's educational policy is: education must serve the socialist modernization, and must be combined with productive labor to cultivate builders and successors of the socialist cause with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique.
When discussing the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the development goal of education: "forming a relatively perfect modern national education system", "people have the opportunity to receive a good education, basically popularize high school education and basically eliminate illiteracy. Form a learning society of learning for all and lifelong learning, and promote the all-round development of people. " The report also clearly stated that "hundreds of millions of high-quality workers, tens of millions of specialized talents and a large number of top-notch innovative talents should be trained."
In fact, from Confucius's "training gentlemen to influence villains" to Spencer's "preparing for a perfect life" to today's quality education, the fundamental purpose of education is to cultivate people who are physically and mentally healthy and useful to society. School education is nothing more than that.
Second, the lack of contemporary school education.
In the 1990s, China put forward the implementation of quality education: aiming at improving the national quality, cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability, and emphasizing that basic education should meet the needs of every student's lifelong development. Although the training goal has been put forward, the evaluation mechanism of school education has not changed-the baton of college entrance examination has been directing the educational behavior of the whole education system, so academic performance has become the ultimate goal pursued by teachers and students. How can the ever-changing evaluation mechanism achieve the ever-changing educational goals? Only paying attention to imparting knowledge will inevitably lead to the lack of other educational contents, and students will lose their interest in learning more and more, becoming machines that only get high marks in the examination. Personality shaping, independent innovation spirit and practical ability will be left far behind. Quality education has not been finally realized.
The school only attaches importance to the examination-oriented education, but does not put the important excellent traditional culture education in an important position. Most students only receive formal and unified traditional culture education in the Chinese and history courses offered by the school, and the content is limited to ancient poems or brief history of dynasties, so students know little about traditional culture knowledge. Therefore, the school has not become an important position of traditional culture and education; On the other hand, although teachers are disseminators of knowledge and culture, many teachers do not really take the inheritance of excellent traditional culture as their responsibility, and even lack the cultivation of their own traditional culture. Therefore, it is difficult for them to have a great influence on students in the teaching process.
Third, the essence of China traditional culture.
China traditional culture China traditional culture refers to a culture with distinctive national characteristics, a long history, profound connotations and excellent traditions, which was created by the Chinese nation and its ancestors living in China and passed down and developed by the Chinese nation from generation to generation. It is the overall representation of various ideological cultures and ideological forms in the long history of national development. In short, it is the general name of various national civilizations, customs and spirits expressed through different cultural forms.
The traditional culture of China, with Confucianism as the mainstream, is characterized by revealing the essence and significance of the universe, society and life from a philosophical and scientific point of view, which not only fully demonstrates, but also allows people to conduct empirical research. Its charm is that it is more convincing than ordinary religion. Because the general religion is based on faith, only devout faith can feel the existence of God, and you can't ask why or why.
So what is the essence of China traditional culture?
China traditional culture is the crystallization of thousands of years' experience and wisdom of ancient sages, and its core is moral education. In the current environment of lack of culture and material desires, many people mistakenly think that morality is the rule that binds people's behavior. In fact, a moral life is a truly normal and happy life.
Moreover, China traditional culture pays special attention to shaping people's behavior and personality from many aspects, such as behavior mode, ideological tendency, psychological tendency, psychological quality and self-awareness.
Another feature of China's traditional culture is that it attaches importance to the harmony between man and nature and the harmony between people. China's philosophy never thinks that man and nature are hostile, but that man and nature are complementary, and people should help and cooperate with each other. Emphasis is placed on the spirit of collective sacrifice, on taking righteousness as benefit, and on hard work and dedication. What sets off righteousness and benefit is people's work attitude. Diligence and dedication are admirable virtues, which are derived from social consensus. The so-called "people's livelihood is diligent, and diligence is not lacking." In dealing with the relationship between individuals and society, Confucian culture advocates solemn self-control, attaches importance to the influence of education, pursues skills, advocates social responsibility and hard work, and rarely emphasizes self-interest, forming the pursuit of harmonious and efficient development of groups, showing greater advantages than individualistic culture.
Fourthly, the combination of school education and China traditional culture.
China traditional culture has shaped the personality and behavior of college students from many aspects, such as behavior mode, ideological tendency, psychological tendency, psychological quality and self-awareness. In the process of education, traditional culture plays an important role in shaping students' personality, strengthening students' humanistic quality education, enhancing the sense of social ownership and strengthening traditional moral education. However, such an important means of education is often neglected in our education. We can no longer blindly pursue the reasons for the lack of culture, but should actively think about and explore how to combine traditional culture with quality education in schools, so that school education can not only become a real quality education, but also become a place for excellent traditional culture: internalize the outstanding cultural achievements of mankind into the personality, temperament and accomplishment of the educated, and then gradually form social morality, values, aesthetic taste and way of thinking. Therefore, it has become an important factor to maintain social survival and good development.
At present, students' cultural literacy is very lacking. Apart from taking part in some extracurricular activities for a few hours, there is little education in humanities, excellent Chinese traditional culture and other aspects. Due to the imperfection of humanistic quality education, modern students's sense of justice and responsibility weakened, and his moral cultivation was insufficient. At present, many students are immersed in the study of scientific and technological theoretical knowledge, ignoring the cultivation of moral etiquette, and the basic civilizations such as honesty, trustworthiness, diligence and modesty are not well performed.
The humanistic quality education in schools should first get rid of the school-running concept of attaching importance to reason over literature or just reading, taking exams and listening to the sound of reading. We should integrate humanistic quality into the process of education, cultivate students to establish correct values, learn the essence of humanistic quality in traditional culture, and fully grasp a series of important ideas in traditional culture about patriotism, love for family, morality, ethics, respect for the elderly and love for the young. Carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, cultivate the national spirit of strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and promote good and punishing evil, so that the cultivated college students can become high-quality construction talents with high ideological and moral cultivation, high scientific and cultural level, strong concept of democracy and legal system, and dedication.
