Special education teachers are a special profession. They are faced with a group of special children with communication barriers, psychological fragility and emotional instability. They should not only engage in the teaching of special education, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of imparting life experience and skills, and even know how to do various rehabilitation training for children with professional knowledge. In this fast-paced and fiercely competitive society, special education teachers not only have to face the pressure of work and life, but also face all kinds of negative effects brought by the particularity of special children. In this high-pressure environment, special education teachers often suffer from all kinds of psychological torture.
Professor Zhang Guie, director of Zhengzhou Kangda Ability Training Center, once said in an interview with CCTV. The profession of special education teachers needs to be tested in many ways, and they will often be in a state of depression. Learn to adjust your emotions in many ways. Only when you guide those children with an optimistic attitude will they accept you with a positive attitude. ?
Who is to blame for the psychological problems of special education teachers?
1, the particularity of the working object. Special education teachers are faced with a group of children with physical and mental health problems. For special education teachers engaged in autism education, they have to repeat a word and a pronunciation hundreds of times every day to teach autistic children, sometimes they have to face different emergencies, and sometimes they are even attacked by children. These problems make special education teachers depressed.
2. Parents don't understand and don't support. The root of the contradiction between special education teachers and parents lies in the unsynchronized expectations of children. Children receiving special education are different from ordinary children in language ability, intelligence, thinking ability and behavior characteristics. Because some parents don't understand the characteristics of their children's learning ability, they expect too much from their children. They attribute the problem of children's slow acceptance and development to teachers, and think that teachers are incompetent, which has caused great psychological pressure on special education teachers.
3. Differences among social groups. People's doubts about the profession of special education also affect the psychology of special education teachers to some extent. Because of the particularity of special education teachers' profession, they lack professional pride, sense of identity and happiness in their work. Coupled with social disapproval, special education teachers will gradually lose their direction and find no meaning in their work.
Effective Strategies for Psychological Adjustment of Special Education Teachers
1. Face your parents rationally. Facing the pressure from parents, special education teachers should be calm and rational. First, they should understand their parents' feelings. Secondly, they should think about what their parents' demands are reasonable and unreasonable. They should have the ability to distinguish and judge correctly, and face their parents' many problems with a calm and caring heart. The pressure on special education teachers will naturally be reduced.
2. A wide range of hobbies. Interest refers to people's love and pursuit of learning, research, literature, art and knowledge. Special education teachers may wish to go out to participate in various activities on rest days or holidays. Those who love dancing can dance, those who love singing can sing and want to be lively. Just get together and pay more attention to cultivating their interests in all aspects, because the more activities a person participates in, the higher his mental health level will be.
3. Focus on your work and improve your self-confidence. Putting all our efforts into work and study, and satisfying our desire for real life challenges through repeated success in work and study is another way for us to adjust our psychology. In this regard, Liu Jiaoshou, a famous psychologist in China, once pointed out that people with mental health feel that life is meaningful. He has a certain goal in doing things and a certain enthusiasm for his work. He has clear thinking and strong perseverance. He will stick to the plan and never give up until he reaches his goal. ?
4. Go to psychological counseling regularly. At present, many special education teachers are concerned about children's mental health, but they are often afraid to face their own psychological problems. They always feel that it is a shame to see a psychiatrist, and they can't adjust their hearts when facing problems. Faced with such a situation, special education teachers might as well take the initiative to open their hearts, release their psychological discomfort to the fullest and do it generously? Student? Why not?
Conclusion: A philosopher once said that a teacher's personality is everything to educators, and only a healthy mind can have healthy behavior. ? Only when you devote yourself to special education with a happy mood and consciously face the day's work with a good mood can you hold up a blue sky for special children.
