Keywords: high school biology teaching psychological health education infiltration
Infiltrating disciplines in mental health education means that teachers consciously use the basic principles, methods and psychological counseling techniques of disciplines in teaching to help students deal with various psychological problems in the learning process and effectively play the role of discipline teaching in mental health education. [1] Senior high school students are in a critical period of physical and mental development. The physical development of students in adolescence generally exceeds the speed of psychological development. At this time, students will encounter all kinds of psychological confusion, and parents and teachers are urgently needed to communicate with them in time, correctly understand the normal physiological changes, and adjust their psychological state in time, so that the critical period of life can be developed healthily and comprehensively. This is also the basic requirement of quality education for students' all-round development. However, many schools don't have special mental health education courses, and students often don't talk to teachers directly because of psychological reasons, which requires various disciplines to infiltrate mental health education. As a basic natural science, senior high school biology is closely related to people's mental health education. It is particularly important to make full use of psychological factors in biology classroom teaching, optimize students' psychological environment, adhere to scientific, step by step, inspiring and so on, and ensure the effectiveness of knowledge transfer. So how do we infiltrate mental health education in senior high school biology teaching?
1. Adolescent sex education for students
Because of the fragility, impulsiveness and instability of teenagers' psychology, they are prone to have bad emotional reactions to external stimuli [2]. When negative emotions accumulate too much, it will eventually lead to physical illness. Students have had physical health in junior and middle schools, and they also know something about themselves. However, due to exam-oriented education, some schools don't take the exam at all, or non-professional teachers follow the book. Not to mention the knowledge about adolescence, which makes students lack a correct understanding of sexual knowledge and some normal physiological changes, and will not guide and adjust themselves in time, thus inducing some psychological problems. Faced with their own physiological changes, such as menstruation and nocturnal emission, high school students feel "unlucky" and are eager to know, but it is often difficult to talk to their parents, teachers and classmates, thus becoming their own psychological shadow. Many students can't get positive knowledge education and often go to the online world to learn about it, which inevitably causes a few students to come into contact with some obscene and unhealthy knowledge, and students' recognition ability is weak and they can't extricate themselves. In view of this phenomenon, when I explain the reproductive development of human body, I explain to students that menstruation and nocturnal emission are normal physiological phenomena of everyone entering adolescence by introducing the production process of eggs and sperm, combining the formation process of fertilized eggs and the production process of fetus, so as to eliminate the mystery and inferiority complex in students' hearts and face them with a positive attitude.
2. Relieve students' psychological pressure
In addition to the psychological changes caused by physiological changes, under the background of exam-oriented education, students are also facing more and more tangible and intangible pressures from society, family and school, so they have more and more psychological confusion in study, life, interpersonal communication and self-cognition, and they can't find anyone to talk to and vent, which gradually turns into psychological pressure, and then they have obvious weariness of learning, and even embark on the road of suicide. When we study the theory of natural selection in the theory of biological evolution, we let students know that only creatures that adapt to the environment in struggle for existence can survive. At the same time, we should educate students that in today's period of rapid social development, every student should tap his greatest potential, study hard, strive to improve his own quality and become a useful talent to society. At the same time, students should be reminded to compete fairly, maintain a healthy mentality, and not be selfish and narrow-minded. When encountering some unpleasant problems that they can't solve, they should pay attention to guiding students to talk to their parents, classmates, friends and teachers and jointly find ways to solve the problems. At the same time, teachers should actively guide and communicate with students with high psychological pressure, eliminate their psychological barriers and promote the healthy growth of students. In addition, we should vigorously promote quality education, so that students are full of interest and enjoy happiness in biology class. So how to create a relaxed, happy and harmonious classroom to relieve students' psychological pressure?
2. 1 Smile at the students
Biology class in senior high school should be a harbor for students' psychological stretching. Teachers who don't smile may build a wall between teachers and students and hinder the communication between them. Teachers are too serious and deal with problems too rudely, which often hurts students' minds. Smiling can close the distance between teachers and students and is a good medicine to establish a harmonious relationship. Only when teachers are accepted by students can they become good teachers and friends of students, and students will sincerely face teachers. At the same time, students will not create any psychological obstacles to teachers, which is also the premise for teachers to implement effective mental health education.
2.2 Warm students with love
We should really care about students, love all students, and love everything about students. In class, teachers' kindness to students, students' love to teachers and friendship between students can make students fully feel the warmth from school, teachers and classmates, and their psychological burden will be greatly reduced, so they will face challenges with a more positive attitude.
2.3 motivate students with success
The formation of students' psychological pressure is often due to the experience of failure and the gradual formation of inferiority complex. To eliminate inferiority complex, students should experience the joy of success in daily life and study and enhance their self-confidence. I have adopted the following methods in biology teaching to enhance students' self-confidence. In biology class, a step-by-step question chain is designed to make students from different backgrounds feel the joy of success in the process of participation, thus further stimulating students' desire to explore new knowledge. In addition, teachers can also stimulate students' interest by exploring experimental activities. Students have a strong interest in experiments, and in the process of experimental exploration, they will continue to experience the joy of experimental success, further enhancing their courage and confidence in overcoming difficulties.
3. Create a cooperative and harmonious psychological atmosphere
Many students' psychological problems are due to lack of communication, which often leads to misunderstanding of teachers, parents and classmates, and gradually forms a withdrawn character. In order to prevent this from happening, I pay attention to cultivating students' cooperative spirit and establishing harmonious thinking in the process of biology teaching. For example, talking about biology and environment emphasizes that people should live in harmony with nature, which requires students to love nature, care for life and protect the environment. Similarly, in classroom teaching, we should fully create a cooperative atmosphere and design a variety of problem situations. Through discussion, students can ask each other questions and eliminate doubts. Through thinking collision, they not only build knowledge, but also promote the improvement of students' multiple intelligences and gradually establish a sense of cooperation. Students who grow up in such a harmonious atmosphere will respect, understand, care, trust and cooperate with each other, thus establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships.
4. Guide students to learn self-regulation.
Students often have psychological problems because they can't treat their own gains and losses correctly and their ability to resolve pressure is not strong. Therefore, students should be guided to adjust themselves in teaching. For example, when we talk about the regulation of animal life activities, we emphasize that life is a unity and needs to be constantly regulated by nerve-body fluid-immunity. Similarly, when we feel unhappy, we should also learn to adjust our psychological balance in various ways.
5. Respect students' self-esteem psychology
Appreciation is like a warm spring breeze, and abuse is like a cold winter. Every student has a strong self-esteem, and teachers should take good care of it and don't hurt any student's self-esteem. If inappropriate educational methods are adopted at inappropriate times, it may hurt students' self-esteem and lead to students' rebellious psychology. Teachers should go into students' minds and adopt appropriate educational methods according to their personality characteristics to guide their psychology. For example, say words of comfort to students who answered incorrectly, words of encouragement to students who are not good at discussing, words of confidence to students who feel inferior, words of confidence to students who are confused, and words of fairness to students who are left out. This is bound to win the respect of students for teachers. Teachers should make every student feel the sunshine-like warmth in biology class, get full respect, and make biology class their warm home.
In a word, mental health education is an important part of quality education and an inevitable requirement for the healthy growth of high school students. Teachers should make full use of senior high school biology teaching resources and carry out organic, moderate, effective and flexible mental health education in teaching.
