Keywords: moral education generalization and the lack of mainstream social values? Social Responsibility of Moral Education Practice Activities
In recent years, the killing of classmates by Ma Jiajue and Ceng Shijie has caused us to think deeply about education. From kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school to university, we constantly strengthen the political and ideological education with patriotism education as the core, but the moral education problems for children and adults emerge one after another. Most children lack the minimum social morality, spitting, littering, making a loud noise in public places, not queuing up when taking public transport or shopping, and not flushing the toilet after urinating. Do not respect the fruits of others' labor; Spend money at will; Selfish, narrow-minded, indifferent, lack of affection and friendship, can not accept their criticism and accusation. What's more, Marek Gajue and Ceng Shijie killed their brothers and sisters because of a small conflict. The author believes that the main reasons for these unhealthy phenomena are the generalization and lack of school moral education, the lack of school social responsibility education, the lack of self-cultivation and moral cultivation, the false, big and empty content of moral education, and more preaching than example.
? First, the reason analysis
? 1. Moral education covers everything. At present, moral education in our school includes political education, ideal education, moral education, code of conduct education, ethics education, legal education, mental health education, national defense education, safety education, anti-drug education and even anti-corruption education. The scope of moral education is as big as you want. Take moral education as a big basket and pack whatever you want.
? 2. Political education is full of moral education. Under the influence of the idea of maintaining political power, most of the contents of moral education courses and activities in schools are occupied by ideological education and political direction education, while some are reserved for ideal education, legal education, mental health education, national defense education, safety education and drug control education, and only a few are reserved for moral education and behavior standard education. Moral education and code of conduct education, which should be the main content of moral education, have become a whitewash of moral education.
? 3. Political theory education is empty. Political theory and political preaching are more real life experiences and personal feelings, which are divorced from the age and life reality of young students. Many political theories are outdated, unable to explain the current social problems and social contradictions, self-deceiving, lacking strong persuasion, failing to achieve the due educational effect, and some are counterproductive.
? 4. The period of moral education is unrealistic. The moral and behavioral education that kindergartens and primary schools should receive is replaced by political education and ideal education, while the political orientation education, patriotism education and ideal education that high schools and universities should implement are excluded by moral and behavioral education. Many high school students and college students are blind in political direction and lack lofty ideals in life. Because we can't explain or solve social problems and social phenomena with what we have learned, there are many puzzles in our thoughts.
? 5. Lack of effective moral education carrier. Moral education in primary and secondary schools has become an educational pie under the pressure of various entrance examinations, and students can't fully appreciate the whole picture of moral education from the aspects of color, smell and so on, and get real experience and sentiment from it. Moral education is actually a process to help students form values, outlook on life and world outlook. Without an effective moral education carrier, students cannot judge and form their correct values, outlook on life and world outlook, nor can they form a correct sense of social responsibility, let alone form the consciousness and courage to undertake social responsibility.
? 6. Society lacks positive mainstream values to guide school moral education. At present, society advocates money worship, hedonism, power and money trading, selfless dedication becomes synonymous with fools, and labor becomes a shame. The whole society is immersed in the song and dance of the prosperous times, like the Northern Song Dynasty, which is materialistic and lacks positive, healthy and progressive mainstream values. And those low-level social value systems are constantly impacting school moral education, and the pure land of the school is constantly being eroded.
? 7. Society, school and family education are seriously out of touch. The lack and confusion of social mainstream values, the lack of social responsibility of school education and the deviation of family parenting concepts have caused the deviation of social, school and family education goals, which has seriously affected the effective implementation of school education.
? Second, coping strategies.
? 1. The relevant state departments should clarify and refine the relevant courses of moral education. Moral education courses should be divided into political education courses (politics, ideological education, national unity education and so on). ), moral education courses, code of conduct education courses (legal education, drug education). Mental health education, national defense education and safety education do not belong to the moral education curriculum, and should not be included in the moral education curriculum system, so as not to impact the normal moral education with other educational contents.
2. Further clarify the main responsibilities and functions of moral education courses. Political education is the education of consolidating political power and political rights, and it is the embodiment of national political consciousness in education. Yes, yes, but not all. Moral education is an education that helps a person form his own value system. The education of changing from a natural person to a social person is an education that gives him a sense of social responsibility and should be the main aspect of moral education throughout. Code of conduct education is to help a natural person learn to abide by the rules of social games, and it is also indispensable to guide students to learn to be human in code of conduct education. Therefore, we should clearly understand the educational function of various moral education courses, and never use political education to fill and replace other moral education courses.
? 3. Strengthen the phased implementation of moral education courses. Moral education is an important content and form of education, which must follow the general laws of education. There is an optimal development period for students' cognitive development, and corresponding education must be implemented at each stage to help students achieve optimal development. According to the law of human cognitive development, the author thinks that moral education of self-cognition and correct understanding of the relationship between self and nature and society should be implemented in primary school, legal education of correctly handling the relationship between self and society should be implemented in junior high school, and political education of correctly handling the relationship between self and society, country and the world should be implemented in senior high school. Don't go beyond the stage of human cognitive development and implement inappropriate education.
? 4. Strengthen and implement experiential moral education. Moral education course, especially moral education course and code of conduct education course, is a course with strong social practice. Schools should create moral education situations that are in line with students' actual cognitive level and close to real life, guide students to experience and implement moral education value judgments in actual situations, and learn what behaviors are correct and incorrect, and what corresponding consequences they will bear, so as to form effective moral education cognition and social responsibility. Therefore, moral education should avoid preaching and pay attention to experience and perception.
? 5. Return to the original ecology of education. The author believes that the purpose of education is not to impart the achievements of human civilization, but to cultivate a person with a strong sense of social responsibility. Only people with a strong sense of social responsibility can truly grasp and make use of the achievements of human civilization and serve the development, happiness and progress of mankind. It is not difficult to see that the core of moral education is actually to cultivate a strong sense of social responsibility. Only people with a strong sense of social responsibility can love the motherland, nature, life and the world, be responsible for themselves, others, society, the motherland and the world. We should abandon the narrow educational concept in the past and return to the original ecology of education, so that teenagers can realize self-education and touch themselves in moral education practice and become responsible people for life and the world. To this end, the author believes that education is not a kind of preaching, but a kind of responsibility, which is a kind of responsibility to "cultivate people to form a strong sense of social responsibility".
