Since 1990s, the popularity and development of the Internet has brought people into the network information society rapidly. As a new media of information dissemination, the network has a profound impact on all aspects of social life with unprecedented speed and breadth. In the era of network information, students' world outlook, outlook on life, values, ways of thinking and behavior have undergone profound changes. The ideological and political education in junior middle schools must keep pace with the times in content, methods and means in order to optimize the educational effect.
1 network information age
In the era of network information, the means and speed of people obtaining information have been optimized and improved as never before. In the field of education, the traditional means and methods of ideological and political education have been severely challenged. On the one hand, teenagers' network behavior has become very common, and the network is becoming an invisible antenna for teenagers to feel and touch the world. The Internet has opened a more magical and vast world for teenagers. On the other hand, junior high school students themselves are not perfect in cognition and behavior and need correct guidance, especially under the impact of the network information age, ideological and political education in junior high school is particularly important.
Ideological and moral curriculum standards also emphasize the harmonious development of students' emotions, attitudes, values, knowledge and ability, and pay attention to the cultivation of humanistic spirit [1]. It requires junior high school ideological and political education to start from the reality that students adapt to social public life, and to integrate moral, mental health, law and national conditions education around the growing relationship between me and myself, me and others, me and the collective, and the country and society, so as to help students form and develop their ideological and moral character [1].
It can be said that under the wave of network information age, the educational reality has changed, which is undoubtedly a great challenge to the existing teaching methods. It is the general trend for teachers to change the traditional lecturing and cramming teaching.
2 Question: Opportunities and challenges of junior high school ideological and political education
Opportunities brought by network informatization to junior high school ideological and political education
1) Network informatization expands the time and space boundary of ideological and political education. The convenience of the network lies in that you can cross the double barriers of time and space for instant or delayed information processing or remote resource sharing without leaving home, and there are many ways to obtain resources. Students can freely search and click on their favorite or interesting points, freely exchange ideas, quickly understand the important events happening in the world today, and make tit-for-tat comments. Teachers can also exchange ideas with students equally and democratically like netizens, keep abreast of students' ideological trends and guide them in time.
2) Network informatization has changed the ways and means of ideological and political education. Different from the traditional face-to-face ideological and political education, the network has brought a new way of communication to ideological and political education. Junior high school students behave subjectively and emotionally because they are not deeply involved in the world. They often show the characteristics of openness and occlusion, and they are also confused and confused about many things that are beyond their ability to accept, but they are often shy or unwilling to consult their parents and teachers directly. Online communication is more convenient for teachers and students because of its equality, timeliness and anonymity [2].
3) Network informatization promotes the effectiveness of ideological and political education. Ideological and political education will produce unexpected results because of the intervention of new media networks. In the past, ideological and political education presented a one-way passive indoctrination education. However, with the help of the network platform, under the more harmonious and equal relationship between teachers and students, ideological and political education has become an interactive mode of two-way communication, and students have also changed from passive recipients to active recipients, and students' dominant position has become prominent, resulting in a situation of ideological and political education in which teachers and students respect each other and promote each other.
Challenges brought by network informatization to junior high school ideological and political education
1) Network informatization challenges information monopoly and teachers' authoritative position. With the advent of network informatization, educators have lost their monopoly on information and knowledge to some extent. Sometimes, the educated get some information and knowledge even earlier than the educators. The natural advantages of educators are gradually being challenged. Moreover, junior high school students have a certain ability to distinguish themselves from social things. When they receive new information different from the education of school teachers, their sense of confusion is often more intense, they often dare to break through the authority of teachers, or they are eager to get a more convincing explanation [3].
2) Network informatization may weaken the effectiveness of ideological and political education. Network information dissemination capacity is huge, even flooding, while the quality of information is obviously mixed, and a large number of yellow information, violent information and useful information are mixed together. The flood of junk information not only wastes students' time, but also seriously affects students' daily behavior choices and weakens the effectiveness of ideological and political education in schools. Some students are even influenced by bad information, which blurs the criteria for judging right and wrong. Only online news is obedient, causing paranoia in action and doing things beyond the norm [4].
3) Network informatization hinders students' normal interpersonal communication and mental health. Undoubtedly, the Internet has become one of the main channels for teenagers to obtain information. The charm of the online world is that you can put aside real life for a short time, communicate freely with people of all colors you don't know, and express your views without scruple. Due to the rapid changes in physical and psychological development, junior high school students have a strong anxiety and depression. The relaxed and democratic world provided by cyberspace often makes them escape from normal social interaction and indulge in it. In the long run, it will inevitably lead to moral indifference and alienation of interpersonal feelings, which will inevitably have a negative impact on their physical and mental health development [5].
3 Strategy solution: improving the methods of ideological and political education in junior high schools
Content: Realizing the renewal of ideological and political education concept Under the background of network informatization, the network, as an important carrier of information dissemination, presents many new characteristics in information transmission: the capacity of information transmission has become larger, the influence has become wider and the transmission speed has become faster. With the advent of the network information age, ideological education is not limited by time, space and place, which expands the coverage and promotes the socialization of ideological education. The ideological and political education in junior high school should realize the concept renewal in time, make full use of all advanced technologies and various favorable conditions, and actively promote the sustained and effective development of ideological and political education in junior high school under the new situation. Realizing the renewal of ideas is the first condition for doing ideological and political education well [6]. In combination with the construction of campus moral education, many schools actively expand the new territory of ideological and political education, consciously and actively go deep into the network environment to play a role, and actively carry out education and teaching work in a brand-new way of ideological exchange.
Ways: Calling for the Subjectivity of Ideological and Political Education The cognitive ability of junior middle school students is semi-independent, and their understanding and judgment ability have made remarkable progress, prompting them to express themselves and know the world in various ways. In dynamic speech, they tend to be skeptical, keen on arguing and demanding independent opinions. However, due to the limitations of their own experience, they often consider problems unilaterally and superficially, and their emotions often fluctuate greatly [7]. The ideological and political education in junior high school should arouse the enthusiasm of the educational subject, call for the positive emotional experience of the educational subject, and sublimate the students' moral sense and rationality. Facing the information age, teachers should innovate the teaching methods of ideological and political education, adopt the network form that students love, combine ideological and political education with modern multimedia technology perfectly, give full play to the characteristics of multimedia technology, and strive to make ideological and political education lively [5], so that students can give full play to their subjective initiative.
Means: Actively explore new ways of network ideological and political education. Online ideological and political education must give full play to its pertinence, actively carry out online research, and grasp students' ideological trends and emotional changes in time. On the one hand, junior high school ideological and political education can provide a wide range of online psychological counseling services on students' age cognition level, and regard students' mental health as the key issue of school and moral education; On the other hand, the network is also the best virtual "psychological observation room". Junior high school students pay attention to their psychological changes. Through various forms of interesting psychological tests, guide them to debug their psychological state, establish students' psychological health files, and track their psychological changes. Furthermore, ideological and political education in schools should rely on the natural advantages of the network to provide students with positive and beneficial information, so that students can form the ability to resist bad information and enhance their ability to distinguish right from wrong.
