China's first national defense education law clearly stated that in order to ensure the long-term stability of the country, it is necessary to strengthen national defense education for all. Because national defense is the guarantee of a country's survival and development, no country can survive and stand on its own feet without national defense that is sufficient for self-defense. As long as the country has not perished and the danger of war has not been eradicated, there can be no national defense, and of course there can be no national defense education.
Looking back on the 20th century, mankind has created unprecedented material and spiritual wealth. At the same time, it has experienced two world wars, hundreds of local wars and the cold war for nearly half a century, suffering from the disasters and threats of war. In the first 50 years of the 20th century, China was unprepared, backward and beaten, mountains and rivers were broken, and people were in dire straits. The people of China have gone through many hardships and fought bravely for national independence, national liberation, democracy and freedom, and finally put the country on the road of prosperity, democracy and civilization. In the new century, China faces both rare development opportunities and severe challenges. When we seize the historical opportunity and concentrate on modernization, we must be soberly aware that although the current world situation tends to ease on the whole, the world is still far from peaceful, the international power balance is seriously unbalanced, hegemonism and power politics still exist and have new developments in the international political, economic and security fields, military interventionism is on the rise, and the negative and uncertain factors affecting the security of the Asia-Pacific region cannot be ignored. In this regard, we must not relax our vigilance, but should pay attention to strengthening national defense education, so that the whole people can improve their national defense concept and enhance their will, skills and physique to defend national security. To do a good job in national defense education, we must start with dolls. The National Defense Education Law stipulates that national defense education in schools is the foundation of national education. This requires us to take the national defense education of teenagers as the top priority. Effectively incorporate national defense education into school classroom education, infiltrate into the teaching combination of culture, physical education, morality and other disciplines, increase the national defense knowledge of young students, strengthen national defense concepts, and improve the comprehensive quality of national defense.
First, national defense education should start from the vast number of young people.
1 long-term; National defense education for young people and children is the basic project of national defense construction, which contributes to the present and benefits the future. It's a big deal.
From the historical position of teenagers; Today's teenagers are the future of the motherland and shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying forward the glorious historical revolution. The future of the national democratic movement will depend on the comprehensive quality, consciousness, morality and spirit of struggle of young people in the 2 1 century.
3 from the background of the times faced by teenagers; Today's world is relatively peaceful and the country is relatively safe and stable, so young people's concept of national defense is easy to talk about, and market economy can easily change people's values and life pursuits, so children can't be counted. With the growth of "Three Principles" and the transition of family structure to one-child family, teenagers forget the national interests, and the parasitic heart of pursuing pleasure and fearing hardship grows day by day. These problems are incompatible with the future development needs of the country.
4. Starting from the relationship between economic construction and national defense education; As an integral part of national education, national defense education has diversified and comprehensive functions. The sense of national security and sense of responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation inspired by national defense education is a group's enterprising spirit, which can directly show combat effectiveness in the military and be transformed into productive forces in the economy.
5. Proceed from the need of training reserve talents in 2 1 century; In a few years, today's teenagers will become personnel of national defense construction, national defense security and national defense forces, and become soldiers or subjects.
Carrying out national defense education in primary schools is conducive to cultivating students' thoughts and feelings and good moral quality of loving the motherland, the people, the party, science and the People's Liberation Army, to cultivating students' behavior habits of unity, forge ahead, civilization and discipline, to enhancing students' sense of collective honor, to cultivating students' self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence, courage and tenacity, and to training students' strong physique.
Two, strengthen the "three consciousnesses" education in the national defense education of young people.
We should strengthen the education of "three consciousnesses" in patriotism education and national defense education for young people: (1) national territory consciousness. (2) Historical and cultural awareness. (3) National defense consciousness.
How big is our country? Our country has 9.6 million square kilometers of land and more than 3 million square kilometers of marine land. Today, let's talk about patriotic national defense education. Specifically, China's area should be more than12.6 million square kilometers. Teenagers will be trained as builders and successors of socialism in the future. If they don't have a sense of national territory, they don't know how big our country is, how much land, how many oceans and how many islands there are. How can they build and succeed in the future? Strengthening the consciousness of national territory is the premise of patriotism education, and it is also the common sense that everyone in China should know.
Teenagers should also understand the history of our country and enhance their cultural awareness. More than 590 years ago, Zheng He's voyage to the West opened the door for China to communicate with many countries, which played an important role in promoting political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and other countries. It has made outstanding contributions to the economic development of China and many other countries. In fact, it has far-reaching significance for promoting China's opening to the outside world at that time. The length, history and frequency of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas are unique in the world and are the pride of China people. There are many places, things and people to be proud of in the history of China. For example, the invention of the compass is the content of patriotism education, which is very necessary to enhance the historical and cultural awareness of the motherland.
When children grow up, one is to build the motherland and the other is to defend the motherland. Therefore, teenagers should enhance their national defense awareness, carry out national defense education, enhance their national defense concepts, and learn more military common sense and national defense knowledge from an early age. Strengthening children's awareness of national defense is an indispensable part of patriotism education.
It has been fifteen years since the national youth reading education activities were carried out. In the past fifteen years, we have always adhered to the red line of patriotism, explored ways of patriotism education in practice, promoted the implementation of patriotism education in reform, and deepened the development of patriotism education in teaching, making the reading activities with patriotism as the main line in our school solid and fruitful.
First of all, exploring the connotation of moral education and grasping the core of patriotic education will get twice the result with half the effort.
We believe that in the new era, the primary task for schools to carry out reading activities with patriotism education as the theme is "people-oriented" and constantly deepen the connotation of moral education. We know very well that the so-called moral education is the general term of ideological education, political education and moral education. It means that educators systematically influence education in a purposeful, planned and organized way according to the requirements of a certain society or class, and transform a certain social ideology and morality into individual ideological and moral education. Its core content is "patriotism, collectivism and socialism", and "patriotism" is "a country and a nation's deep feelings for their homeland, motherland and people formed over thousands of years, and it is an eternal and priceless spiritual wealth of a country and a nation". [General Pedagogy, Anhui University Press] Based on the above understanding, in the past fifteen years, our moral education work has adhered to the "five loves" education as the main line and Chinese traditional virtues as the core, and made some useful attempts.
For example, through lectures, knowledge contests and other special reading activities, we can promote Chinese traditional culture, help students understand the differences between eastern and western civilizations and values, make students realize that Chinese traditional virtues are the foundation of our life, and inspire their pride as descendants of the Chinese people.
On the occasion of commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, we specially invited the Minister of Rural Armed Forces to give a report on the national defense situation, which aroused the students' strong desire to study hard and serve the motherland. In particular, seizing the opportunity of the 50th anniversary of Hong Kong and Macao's return to China and the founding of the People's Republic of China, we organized reading meetings and cultural performances for Hong Kong and Macao, and visited the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom CheungYueng Conference Site, the Central Line Crossing the River Headquarters, and the Huang Zhen Memorial Exhibition in our county, which enhanced students' patriotism and received good social effects. It is worth mentioning that 1998 summer flood disaster in the Yangtze River basin is undoubtedly worse for Tietong Town, Jiang Xinzhou. At a critical juncture, the People's Liberation Army Xiangyang Mission was ordered to enter Tietong to fight with local cadres and build an iron wall with flesh and blood. This unit was a heroic unit that crossed the river from Tietong, and more than a dozen commanders and soldiers were buried in this land. Under the arrangement of the township youth league Committee, on the one hand, we lost no time in organizing young students to pay tribute to the great achievements of the martyrs, on the other hand, we organized young members to directly participate in flood fighting and emergency rescue. Faced with the critical situation of bank collapse and large-scale landslide, the youth and officers and men of the majority of league members rushed to transport sandbags, earthwork and riprap revetment, all of which were full of vigor and vitality. Tao Fei, who just graduated from our school and has been admitted to Anqing Normal University, volunteered to participate in the war in order to block the piping and died of heatstroke. All the young people who participated in the war were also received by Comrade Zhou Qiang, then secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, who came to Anhui to inspect the flood, adding luster to the League flag and composing a magnificent song of youth.
Living teaching materials can purify and baptize the hearts of our classmates, stimulate their strong belief of "reading for the rise of China" and effectively promote the vigorous development of reading activities.
I remember Fang as a good student. His parents can't control him at home. He often drops out of school. In order to save him, we made several home visits, sincerely influenced him and purposefully asked him to join the reading activity group. Influenced by reading activities, especially inspired by the spirit of the great man in the book, he studied with a clear purpose and worked hard. After more than a year's hard work, he finally got into the city's key middle school with excellent results.
In this way, through more than ten years of reading activities, a large number of enterprising students have emerged in our school. They are assiduously studying cultural and scientific knowledge, ready to serve the motherland in the future.
Second, expand the content of classroom teaching, infiltrate patriotism, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Classroom is the basic form of school teaching, the main channel to implement quality education and an effective way to infiltrate patriotism. School is the magnetic field for teenagers to receive ideological and moral education, and it is the radiation source of spiritual civilization, so the content of patriotism education should be better implemented. To this end, we combine the themes of previous reading activities, take liberal arts classroom teaching as a breakthrough, give full play to the advantages of liberal arts in teaching and educating people, being informative and close to life, especially the distinctive patriotic ideological content in liberal arts subjects such as politics, Chinese and history, and help students set up lofty ideals, serve the motherland and establish a new outlook on life, so as to make students become strong in future life, career, survival and competition to adapt to 2 1.
Today, peace and development are two major themes facing mankind. In these two topics, "Love for peace is the lofty embodiment of China people's patriotism." (Read in 1995) It is in this spirit that the people of China handle the relations between people and nations, and oppose all kinds of hegemonic acts of bullying the weak by the strong and bullying the small by the big, which is a consistent tradition of the people of China. However, we can't forget the irrefutable truth that the history of old China tells us that "you will be beaten if you fall behind". "Multinational forces" and "NATO peacekeeping", especially the bombing of our embassy in Yugoslavia, the plane collision between China and the United States and the Iraq war, are concrete and vivid teaching materials for ideological and political courses. We should not only educate students to "care about the motherland", but also let them "work hard" when they enter the society in the future, so that our campus can become a cultural campus that advocates science and spreads civilization, and let our young students truly understand what is the severe challenge of the rapid development of science and technology, the rapid development of knowledge economy and the learning revolution. For example, the "Red Tour" from Nanhu Wooden Boat to New China. Today's international competition is a war without smoke and a new long March. Through reading and studying, the students deeply felt that national reunification is imminent and the motherland has a long way to go, which turned the nation's sense of hardship and the sense of strengthening the country through science and technology into a silent spring rain and "moistened things quietly", which further stimulated their enthusiasm for making great efforts to serve the motherland. Since then, in reading activities, students have consciously set strict demands on themselves with the spirit of patriotism, and have a strong sense of ownership, pioneering and competition. For example, with the deepening of the reading activity of "loving the motherland and stressing civilization", we require students to study "reading books" carefully, dig deep into the connotation of "reading books", and consciously prepare lessons for patriotism education, so that they can have a long-term plan and specific implementation ways. We set up a school reading leading group in combination with the national discussion on quality education, and extensively exchanged the experience of infiltrating patriotic education in the classroom. Through discussion and exchange, we realize that the requirements of quality education for classroom teaching are not in contradiction with the development of reading activities, nor with the content of patriotism education. On the contrary, as long as we grasp it well and in time, we can effectively promote the vigorous development of reading activities, which is the focus of truly implementing quality education. Therefore, we earnestly sum up in practice, and make full use of forty-five minutes to educate students to love the motherland and to be civilized is the minimum requirement for citizens in the 21st century, and to educate them to start from me and improve their own quality from now on to meet the challenges of the future society. The teacher's comments made the finishing point, which benefited students a lot. It has become a campus fashion for everyone to learn from Lei Feng and stress civilization. Students also spontaneously use the school radio to organize and study the relevant chapters in the book Love the Motherland and Speak Civilization and the good deeds that emerged in the civilized etiquette month before morning exercises. Through this publicity activity, students realized that patriotism is also concrete, visible and tangible, and their self-awareness and enthusiasm for reading have been generally enhanced. Not only that, we also launched an essay contest centered on this reading activity, and used the class's "Exercise Garden" with the theme of "Beauty is by my side" to guide students to express true stories and exchange reading experiences, which consolidated the results of this activity. Among them, Wang Bei's composition also won the second prize of national essay writing.
Third, broaden the space for extracurricular activities, and organically unify the love of hometown and motherland, with twice the result with half the effort.
Lenin has a famous saying that if a person does not love his wife and children, his family and his hometown, it is impossible to love the motherland and the people of the world.
To this end, we combine the themes of previous reading activities, optimize the extracurricular reading groups, make them the backbone, and often organize useful extracurricular activities such as spring outing, visiting, planting trees, greening the motherland, showing patriotic movies, etc., so as to enhance students' pride in loving the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and let students write about the great changes and Vientiane renewal of their hometown and motherland with pen, so as to eulogize the new things of reform and opening up and a well-off life in a harmonious society.
Iron and copper are surrounded by water, and the river of no return is majestic and tenacious. If the mountain is my father's mouth, then the water is my mother's feelings. Willow trees are everywhere and buildings are everywhere. Just like in the painting, she nurtured us to grow up. Therefore, every graduate of our school should write an essay "Lovely Hometown" with true feelings. As teachers, we also strive to take the lead in reshaping.
The changes in my hometown are bit by bit, and the students feel the same. In order to highlight the characteristics of previous reading activities, we should focus on guiding students to read "reading books" carefully, explore the beauty of life with true feelings, and appreciate the beauty of life, hometown and motherland. If you put your heart into it for a long time, you will be shaped by words. He Cai's composition won the second prize in the reading activity in long live the motherland. Tao Kai's article "Garden Dream" praised the great changes in his hometown in the 50 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the 20 years since the reform and opening up, and was published in Anhui Zongbao, and won the first prize of "Glorious Fifty Years" essay sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee and the County Education Commission. Wu Qingqing's masterpiece "The Sun in My Heart", which reflects the Party's policy of enriching the people, is sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee and the County Education Commission. Widely praised by the society.
The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way by 2020, especially General Secretary Hu's speech in Xibaipo, which stood at the height of the new century and was earnest. We are more deeply aware that teenagers are the future of the motherland and the successors of the revolutionary cause to inherit the revolutionary tradition and strive for greater glory. Therefore, we should go back to the Long March and relive the experience of moving from Xibaipo to Peiping. As educators, we deeply feel that "responsibility is more important than Mount Tai!" In order to cooperate with the majority of young people to carry out reading activities, the county education bureau held two campus singer competitions for middle school students to praise the great achievements of the revolutionary predecessors and the sunshine and rain of the party and the happy life of the people. Zhu Xiuxiu, a player of our school, won the first prize in the county twice, which is unique in rural middle schools in our county. In addition, Li Rong won the second prize in the "Red Tour" reading speech contest, which is even more remarkable and precious for our rural middle schools.
At present, the The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has been successfully held, and Chang 'e I has successfully flown to the moon. All these show that a brand-new China will cross the time and space of the long river of history and move towards a brighter future.
"2008. Beijing" will usher in the Olympic Games held in China for the first time in more than 2,000 years. "Harmonious society and ecological civilization" will make this eternal land of China full of youth and vitality. "One World, One Dream" is our hope. Therefore, we should let teenagers know through reading activities that a harmonious world needs us to build a harmonious China, a harmonious hometown and a harmonious campus. Only in this way can we truly "welcome the Olympics and promote harmony" with the protagonist's attitude, and can we contribute to the grand blueprint drawn by the Seventeenth National Congress with practical actions in the future.
"The motherland is our mother. She has splendid rivers and mountains, a long history, splendid ancient culture, glorious revolutionary tradition and superior socialist system. After suffering, she is rejuvenating, showing a new look and embarking on the road of rejuvenation. " He Cai wrote a poem "Love My China and Revitalize China" in beautiful and exciting words. Lofty patriotism is our great spiritual strength, which inspires our teenagers to set up lofty ideals, strive to become talents and go to the world with the progress of our great motherland!
