Therefore, happiness needs education. A good life comes from a good education, and the formation of people's happiness concept, happiness quality and happiness ability depends on quality education. Nowadays, the great decision of "Happy Jiangbei" has made Jiangbei's economy develop rapidly, the social environment is peaceful, and people's living standards are improving day by day. However, the high-speed economic level is not completely proportional to people's happiness in life, and many people lack happiness more or less. "Happiness education" is to let students learn to experience and feel happiness from an early age. It is more important to cultivate students' ability to create happiness in the process of education, learn to pursue happiness in the process of creation, and improve the quality of happiness, thus laying the foundation for students' lifelong happiness.
Second, education needs happiness.
Tracing back to the history and development footprint of education, we can draw a conclusion: education aims at human life and explores the development track of human physiology, psychology and society; Happiness is the theme of life, and happiness is the goal of people's life. Fundamentally speaking, education is people-oriented, paying attention to people's happiness and cultivating people's happiness ability.
Suhomlinski said: "The ideal education is to cultivate real people so that everyone can live a happy life. This is the eternal and ultimate value that education should pursue. " Thus, happiness is not only the ultimate goal of education, but also runs through the whole educational process. In today's "people-oriented" society, happiness is the pursuit of people and the need of education.
Combined with the actual situation in our region, we can clearly see that the excellent situation of "Happy Jiangbei" calls for "happy education", and the measures taken by the district committee and government to pay attention to people's livelihood need "happy education", as well as the goal of building a famous quality education area, a strong modern education area and an international education special zone.
Third, implement happiness education.
Our "happiness education" is to create the happiest campus, the happiest student groups, parents groups and cadres and teachers groups, and its core target is students.
Here, I want to focus on the happiness of students in happiness education.
As far as the unhappy factors of current students are concerned, the high expectations of teachers and parents, boring learning methods, heavy academic burden, fear and confusion in interpersonal communication, simplification of evaluation methods, and a series of mental health problems caused by it, such as lack of self-confidence, reduced ability to resist setbacks, lack of sense of responsibility, selfishness and jealousy, are all important reasons why children can't feel happy.
I think that the implementation of happiness education should pay attention to two aspects of students' happiness, one is to satisfy students' feelings of "instant happiness", and the other is to teach students the skills of "lifelong happiness".
To satisfy students' feeling of "happiness at the moment", we can mainly start from the following aspects:
1. Create an atmosphere for students to enjoy the fun of being close to nature.
Nature is the best teacher. Being close to nature, caring for nature and learning from nature have long been neglected in education. Learning knowledge from nature, understanding the truth from nature and refining feelings from nature are the great minds and broad horizons of education. We should strive to create a good atmosphere for students to be close to nature. For example, in the construction of campus culture, we should pay attention to natural factors, such as one grass and one tree, one flower and one fruit, one mountain and one stone, one insect and one fish, one pond and one bird, so that students can always smell the fragrance of nature, see the colors of nature, touch the pulse of nature and feel the heart of nature in their school study and life. Of course, we can also combine China Arbor Day, Earth Day, World Forest Day, World Meteorological Day and other festivals, and through many activities close to nature, let children enjoy the fun of practice, enhance their awareness of advocating nature, closely combine their happiness with the harmony and tranquility of nature, and promote their healthy physical and mental growth.
2. Create scenes to let students experience the beauty of emotional communication.
Good emotional communication is the basic element of happiness. It is through communication that teachers convey their understanding of truth, experience of beauty and cognition of goodness to students. Therefore, paying attention to the aesthetic feeling of communication is the key to improve students' happiness. As educators, we should always pay attention to students' emotional experience everywhere. Equality and trust between teachers and students, friendship and mutual assistance between classmates, and warmth and care between parents and children are all things that we should strive to advocate and realize. We should constantly and seize the opportunity to create emotional communication situations. Whether at school or at home, in class or in activities, we advocate heart-to-heart communication and emotional communication, so that students can immerse themselves in emotion and care, and their happiness will be real and positive. Praise, encouragement, inspiration and sincere warning are all good ways of emotional communication.
3. Build a platform for students to feel the joy of success.
Success is the highest experience of happiness. It is undoubtedly the greatest happiness for students to experience success from an early age. A class, a grade, a school, opportunities to bring children a sense of success can be said to be everywhere. The key is whether we consciously build a platform to show children opportunities: special performances and a sense of success in warm applause; Be praised and gain a sense of success in envious eyes; Help students get a sense of success in a thank you; Respect your parents and get a sense of success from their smiles ... As long as we persevere and try our best to bring success to our children, their hearts will be as bright as spring and their happiness will be full of life.
4. Reduce the burden, improve the quality and promote the all-round development of students.
The content of students' learning is too much, the difficulty is too great, the learning method is backward, and the assessment is single, which leads to students spending a lot of time on mechanical repetitive learning. Many pupils' schoolbags can hardly be lifted by adults, and many pupils' test questions are difficult for college students to answer at the moment. How can such education give students happiness? To reduce the burden and improve the quality is to liberate students from the heavy learning burden, return the classroom to students, return their beautiful childhood to students, and let students enjoy the happiness of growth in their all-round physical and mental development.
5. Balanced development so that students can enjoy a fair education.
Education improves people's livelihood, and education makes life. The essence of balanced development of education is to represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people; The core of this development view is the democratization and fairness of education, that is, respecting every student's right to receive quality education; The main connotation of this concept of development is to rationally allocate educational resources, comprehensively improve the quality of teachers, run every school well, teach every student well, and make every grass and tree flourish.
Jiangbei District has taken many measures to realize the balanced development of regional education. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, "Sunshine Education", "Five Major Projects" and "Six Ones" have made many gratifying achievements, but there is still a long way to go to promote this livelihood project. Under the new situation, "happiness education" is put forward as a new strategic goal. We believe that the future education in Jiangbei will gradually eliminate the differences and let every child enjoy fairness.
To enable students to have the ability of "happy life", I think we can mainly start from the following aspects:
1. Cultivate good habits and lay a good foundation for a happy life.
Habits affect life, and good habits benefit life. Mr. Ye Shengtao once said, what is education? Education is to form good habits. Cultivating good habits is the most basic subject to give children a happy life. Develop good study habits, make learning a part of life and accumulate good academic support; Develop good thinking habits, so that students have ways to deal with any problems; Developing good living habits can enable students to live with energy and high quality; Cultivating a good habit of treating people can make students become civilized and elegant people ... We should turn the "student code" and "student daily behavior code" into operational habit training series, and carry out continuous training, so that year after year and day after day training can become a ladder for students to grow up happily.
2. Hone a strong will and realize the sacredness of social responsibility.
It is impossible for students to grow up with flowers all the way. Tempering their strong will is a compulsory course for their happy life. The qualities such as thrift, self-denial, tenacity and sense of responsibility are not shallow happiness feelings such as blue sky and white clouds, singing and dancing, but persistence in dripping water and wearing stones, the tempering of proud snow and frost, and the experience of wind and rain, which are the foundation of happiness accumulated in life experience.
At present, there is a popular saying in the west that "happy people live a balanced life". Many western educators emphasize that it is necessary to cultivate children's ability to be happy in many ways in "frustration education". The function of education is not only to impart knowledge and cultivate ability, but more importantly, to let the educated constantly improve and standardize themselves and find the right direction and method in the long life. Education should not only restrict people, but also give them full initiative to explore the mysteries of the world with their own perception and self-experience, and integrate a person's physical strength, intelligence, emotion, morality and other factors to make him a perfect and happy person.
3. Cultivate excellent character and experience the happiness of giving.
Happiness is not only the pursuit and enjoyment of a single person, but also an experience of "sharing" between people and a kind of "giving" to reality and the future. Only by expanding one's life activities in order to improve the overall happiness of society can one become perfect in body and mind.
Personal happiness and social happiness are symbiotic and interactive. People can't just care about their own happiness. The requirement of human sociality must obey the development of society, but the development of society is aimed at personal happiness. Happiness is an individual's subjective experience, but it is desirable only if it is based on a long-term and universal view of happiness and conforms to the laws of historical and social development.
Helen? Ducas had a sentence in Einstein's Talking about Life: "Please learn to get your own happiness by making others happy." Indeed, happiness is not given by others, nor is it a person's happiness. True happiness is to make others happy through giving, which is the true meaning of happiness.
In a word, happiness education is an educational idea, an educational ideal and a guide to educational reform. People's happiness is the fundamental purpose of our education. In the era of emphasizing that "only first-class education can cultivate first-class talents and build a first-class country", taking "happiness" as the ideal and pursuit of school education is a rational and ideal choice made by people to examine the real society, educational status quo, educational essence and educational development.
