How to improve primary school students' awareness of environmental protection
With the rapid development of economy, people's life and environment are also changing rapidly: while we are trying to create a comfortable living world, we are also accelerating the destruction of the environment on which we live. Everyone wants to live in an environment where material civilization and spiritual civilization are highly developed and enjoy the beautiful life brought by high technology. However, we inadvertently paid a heavy price for this. The deteriorating ecological environment makes people feel the importance and urgency of protecting the environment. Fortunately, human beings are a highly intelligent group. In such a unique way, it selectively transmits civilization that is beneficial to human survival and development through education. Therefore, for today's environmental crisis, education has the responsibility to awaken people to love nature from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, it is urgent to educate the whole people, especially the primary school students who bear the burden of human development in the future, and improve their awareness of environmental protection. Below, the author will talk about some practices in educational practice: First, the use of classroom education, infiltration of environmental awareness schools as the main channel to impart environmental knowledge, has unparalleled advantages. However, due to various historical and practical reasons, environmental education in primary schools in China started late, so far there is no special education curriculum, and the content of environmental education is often contained in the knowledge of various disciplines. Professor Wang Hongqi from the Institute of Environmental Science of Beijing Normal University believes that environmental education is a complex involving the infiltration of multi-disciplinary education. Therefore, in actual teaching, teachers should study deeply, be good at discovering, carefully grasp the teaching of explicit and implicit materials, and penetrate flexibly. (1) Explicit materials explain in depth that there is a lot of knowledge about environmental protection in primary school Chinese textbooks, and some articles are directly related to the theme of environmental protection, such as the eleventh volume "Only One Earth". The whole article tells about the size of the earth, the limited natural resources and the importance of protecting the environment to illustrate the necessity of caring for the earth. In the process of explaining, teachers can penetrate the knowledge of environmental protection in time, such as the total amount of water resources, fresh water, available fresh water, available fresh water per capita in China, water pollution, water resources in hometown, pollution degree and so on. A series of figures and living examples make students really feel the importance of protecting water resources. In the third grade of primary school, teachers can carefully record two kinds of sounds: the noisy car horn and peddler's hawking on the road, and the playing sound of guzheng "Running Water in the Mountain", which are played to students in class respectively. Everyone showed a completely different attitude, and agreed that noisy voices distracted our attention, made us feel irritable and harmful to human body. Noise is also a kind of environmental pollution, which broadens students' knowledge of environmental protection. This is like the Australian educator Arthur? Lucas believes that environmental education is about the environment, education in the environment and education for the environment. (2) Excavating the connotation of hidden materials Hidden materials are like gold buried in the sand, which requires careful excavation by teachers and quiet education. For example, Chinese teachers provide a large number of materials related to environmental issues in reading teaching, and improve students' awareness of environmental protection while learning subject knowledge: Chinese teachers in junior high schools guide students to collect words and sentences describing beauty and nature; In exercise teaching, guide students to write an interesting activity and a festival activity with the theme of environmental protection, guide students to write observation diaries and related investigation reports according to the changes of school greening, and guide students to read and say fairy tales and children's songs about environmental protection. In teaching, the math teacher lets students know the function of greening and afforestation, benefiting insects and birds, calculates the flowerpot area and soil volume needed for planting flowers, fruits and vegetables with geometric knowledge, prepares cultivation nutrient solution with proportional knowledge, and calculates the water consumption of water meter with decimal knowledge. The course of labor technology allows students to make various small handicrafts and daily necessities from waste and experience the fun of turning waste into treasure. (2) Explore the environment with local resources. By learning environmental protection knowledge, educate children to deepen their understanding of the environment. But there is still a gap between this knowledge and students' real life. Some knowledge is relatively divorced from students' life situation, and limited environmental knowledge can't cover all kinds of problems in children's specific life. In order to let students gradually form good green civilized behavior, it should be a good way to use local resources to carry out environmental protection experience activities. Penglai Island West Island is an ocean that tourists at home and abroad yearn for. West Island covers an area of about 2.6 square kilometers, with beautiful natural scenery and rich seabed resources. It has changed from a remote and backward island into a tourist attraction. A few years ago, West Islanders were eager for quick success and instant benefit for their personal economic interests. They fry fish in the sea, pick up iron trees in the sea, and destroy the ecological environment on the seabed. In fact, this is a kind of chronic suicide. Li Jiafeng, a teacher of Xidao Primary School, not only carried out environmental education in class, but also went deep into the Municipal Oceanic Bureau and other units to find relevant information and pictures, and educated students with concrete figures and vivid examples. He leads students to carry out social practice activities in tourist attractions and participate in public welfare activities, so that students can feel the social and economic benefits brought by the beautiful environment to Xidao, Sanya and Hainan. He let the students go out of the classroom, feel the magical beauty of nature, lead them to dive into the sea and observe the magical underwater world. When students saw groups of tropical ornamental fish swimming freely in the sea, colorful rotten shells, various shapes of sea flowers, Cycas, dark green algae, coral reefs and other underwater scenes, they could not help but express their heartfelt admiration and feel the feelings of loving their hometown and protecting the environment. Through a series of educational activities, students' awareness of environmental protection has been enhanced, people's concepts have been changed, and the phenomenon of indiscriminate mining and fishing in the past has been eliminated, which has received good educational results. (3) It is a practical philosophy to cultivate students' green civilization behavior morality, which is embodied as a kind of practical knowledge. Constantly improving self-worth is the spiritual demand of human beings, and its realization can only be realized by people practicing their own values in practical activities, which is the fundamental driving force to promote moral development. In order to stimulate children's awareness of green environmental protection and cultivate green civilized behavior, it is more important to carry out lively and creative environmental experience activities in the self-organization of schools or primary school students from their interests, needs and age characteristics, to promote children's understanding of green civilization in the education of integration of knowledge and practice, to consolidate their moral feelings and beliefs about green civilization in which man and nature live in harmony, and to exercise their will, and finally to form good green civilized behavior. However, good behavior habits can not be cultivated at once. In order to make my education on the cultivation of students' green civilization behavior more targeted and effective, the school starts with guiding students to learn environmental protection knowledge, constantly arouses students' feelings of advocating green civilization, cultivates students' self-control, actively carries out green environmental protection experience activities, and finally enables students to form good behavior habits. Specific measures: (1) guide students to learn environmental protection knowledge, stimulate students' feelings of advocating green civilization, and cultivate students' awareness of green civilization in protecting the environment; (2) Carrying out environmental protection experience activities; (3) Cultivate self-control ability and enhance self-consciousness of forming green civilized behavior. However, when I feel a little gratified that the children's habit of green civilization has gradually formed, I find a phenomenon: some children can protect the school environment voluntarily at school, but they often litter after school, wasting hydropower students. Why do these behaviors recur? After understanding, I found that although we have carried out green civilized behavior education among students for a long time, there are still some parents who don't have a deep understanding of environmental issues, don't understand and support the school's green civilized behavior habit education, and parents and school education are out of sync. However, some students have repeated behaviors because of the influence of their community environment. Therefore: (4) Strengthen environmental education for students with environmental awareness in combination with family and community. School is the main channel, and environmental education is a systematic project. Schools alone cannot fulfill this responsibility. It is necessary for schools, families, communities and the media to jointly undertake, establish a working mechanism for the joint efforts of schools, families and communities, and create a good atmosphere for family and community environmental education for young pioneers. Every family, every community and every department is also an inseparable part. Only with the joint efforts of all parties can the achievements of school environmental education be consolidated, that is, the awareness of environmental protection can truly and permanently penetrate the students' psychology. Students' first education is at home. Any little environmental protection activities and education of parents can leave their children with the initial awareness of environmental protection, such as not spitting in public places, not throwing scraps of paper, not using phosphorus-containing washing powder, saving water, not eating wild animals such as frogs and snakes, and educating children not to climb small trees, not picking flowers casually and not trampling on the lawn. If the school actively guides, students are likely to become environmentalists. In a word, environmental protection is a systematic project, and environmental education is the unshirkable responsibility of every educator. To improve the environmental awareness of the whole nation, we need to work together, starting with dolls and injecting environmental awareness into the hearts of every child. There is only one earth for mankind. Let's care and share together!
