Labor education curriculum is an important carrier of labor education content and the main channel to realize the goal of labor education. Labor education is an important weight to cultivate builders and successors of the new era with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. Systematic and scientific design of labor curriculum system is the basis to ensure the effective implementation of labor education content, and it is also an important ability necessary for labor educators.
The design of labor education curriculum should follow the principles of the times, practicality, scientificity and the law of students' physical and mental development.
1, the labor education curriculum in the new era should be adapted to local conditions and have the characteristics of the times.
Labor education from the perspective of the new era cannot be a simple and one-sided understanding of labor concept, labor knowledge and labor ability. The design of labor education curriculum needs to adjust the content and mode of labor according to local conditions, keep pace with the times and meet the needs of the times. For example, in the current economic globalization and artificial intelligence, the development of artificial intelligence and the Internet has spawned new forms of labor, such as cloud labor.
Due to the different labor resources in different regions and the actual situation of schools, labor education needs to fully develop and design related courses in combination with its own situation, so as to obtain more effective labor education effects, reap the real value of labor creation and promote the correct establishment of students' labor values. For example, schools in urban areas can rely on the resources of schools and surrounding communities to design corresponding courses such as labor creation, technology upgrading, community environment transformation, public service and professional experience.
2, the new period of labor education curriculum should adhere to practical experience.
The course of labor education is different from the cultural course in school, which needs more practice and operation. Only by experiencing it personally can students have real labor feelings and have a practical understanding of labor. Practical experience is the basic method for students in the process of labor education, which requires students to personally participate in the labor process and conduct experiential learning.
Only by practice can we acquire practical labor skills; Only by actual experience can we coexist physically and mentally, understand the labor process, reap the fruits of labor, and form correct labor values; Only through the real practice process can students acquire the foundation of labor skills, develop labor habits and understand the value of labor.
For example, in agricultural activities, students have the opportunity to learn how to directly cut rice. Children learn how to cut rice with a sickle, from trying to cut a large piece, from grinning to sweating, from eyes blurred by sweat to squinting, never knowing that rice is peeled off from rice to cherishing every grain that falls in the ground. These labor processes are recorded by children in agricultural manuals, which not only record but also reflect these labor processes.
It can be seen that the design of labor curriculum should pay attention to the unity of knowing and doing, and practical experience is the foundation and key.
3. The curriculum of labor education in the new period should follow the law of students' physical and mental development and pay attention to the embodiment of students' labor value.
The curriculum design of labor education in the new period should follow the law of students' physical and mental development, and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development are different and have their own emphasis. The curriculum design of labor education should consider the characteristics of students' age and physical and mental development, adopt different curriculum forms, set different curriculum objectives, choose different curriculum contents in different classes, upgrade the labor education in different classes vertically step by step, and focus on the curriculum design of labor education for students of different ages.
While following this principle, we should also pay full attention to the happiness of labor and the embodiment of labor value. For example, in the course of "Building a Beautiful Home" in the camping activities organized for junior students, let the children choose their favorite tent colors, choose a reasonable camping environment, try to build tents in partnership, try to pull out some wild flowers and weeds in the wild or draw some watercolors to decorate their tents, so as to make their huts more beautiful.
The creation and presentation of beauty in the process of labor plays a very wonderful role in shaping positive labor values.
4. The curriculum of labor education in the new period should reflect life and socialization.
Labor is of fundamental significance to the formation and development of human beings and human society. "Labor creates people themselves", and labor education is an education that serves real life. Its course content should communicate with students' life and ultimately guide students' life. In this principle, real professional labor experience is particularly important. Therefore, in the course design, we should fully ensure the authenticity of this experience, let students truly experience the real work requirements and working conditions of each profession, and try our best to create opportunities for students to experience systematically.
While helping students to truly experience and obtain relevant vocational and technical training, we can better understand and understand the social relevance between industries, thus helping students to have a more objective understanding and understanding of the social system, forming a more realistic social outlook and sense of responsibility, enhancing students' social participation, and inspiring students to think about the preliminary planning of their personal career.
To implement labor education, more efforts should be made in curriculum design to ensure the educational value of labor education. Through curriculum design, we can define the objectives of labor education curriculum, enrich the content, innovate the implementation form, improve the evaluation, and build a more scientific and systematic labor education curriculum system, so that labor education can truly become a compulsory course to promote students' all-round development.
