"Labor Literacy" is an educational activity to promote students' all-round development by improving their labor literacy. Because "labor values" is the core connotation of labor literacy, "labor education" can also be defined as an educational activity aimed at promoting students to form labor values (that is, establishing correct labor values, positive labor attitudes, loving labor and working people, etc.). ) and develop a good labor quality (forming labor habits, having certain labor knowledge and skills, being able to carry out creative work, etc. ).

In terms of labor values, labor education should strive to help learners: first, establish a correct labor view and a positive labor attitude (that is, have a "labor spirit"), and reject the wrong values such as "having leisure and hating work" and "getting something for nothing"; Second, form a value attitude of respecting and loving the labor process, labor achievements and the labor subject-the working people (the embodiment of "labor spirit").

In cultivating good labor literacy (narrow sense), labor education should pay special attention to: first, to promote students to have certain labor knowledge and skills and become all-round people; Secondly, develop the potential of learners' creative labor and become creative workers needed in the new era; Third, form good work habits and become a dignified and educated modern citizen who is "sweating and self-reliant".
