A century-long selection of teachers' mental health learning experience, education is the foundation. "The hope of revitalizing education lies in teachers, so teachers' personality and mental health directly or indirectly affect their own development and students' education.
In today's rapidly developing society, economic competition depends on the quality of workers, while the quality of workers depends on the level of education, and teachers are the basis of education. Therefore, teachers play a fundamental role in the competition of education and even social development.
At present, the tide of goods has flooded into the already contradictory teaching profession, resulting in a "upside down" situation, and some teachers have experienced turmoil and inclination in their hearts, further aggravating their inner contradictions. If the internal contradictions are not handled properly, it will inevitably affect educational activities. From a higher perspective, the mental health of teachers is related to the development of students, the progress of society and even the progress of mankind. The times require teachers to improve their mental health.
MacDonald, president of the American Moral Union, said: "Without knowledge, only morality is fragile; But without behavior, knowledge alone is dangerous and a potential threat to society. " From MacDonald's words, the mental health of teachers, especially the sound personality, is related to students' value orientation, attitude towards society and development direction.
Therefore, the significance of teachers' mental health is very necessary and urgent from the perspective of the whole society, the times and the students themselves.
What are the factors that affect teachers' mental health?
1, social responsibility is great, and people expect too much from teachers.
With the advent of the information age and economic age, parents of students are increasingly aware of the importance of education and knowledge. Therefore, children's education has received unprecedented attention. As children's main school educators, parents rely too much on teachers' educational role. Especially the teachers who teach graduating classes, they feel more pressure from their parents. Our children's poor academic performance due to insufficient subjective efforts or other objective reasons will be greatly questioned by the subject teachers. Even students mix with social bad elements, then do some illegal things, often play truant and so on. Parents only look at teachers.
If carefully analyzed, many schools and families should educate students together, and now they only invest in teachers. In other words, teachers take on some responsibilities shared by many parties. Society entrusts teachers with too many responsibilities and high hopes, which makes them breathless.
2. There are still some unreasonable places in the teacher evaluation and management system. This is also an important factor affecting teachers' mental health. Some systems pay attention to the academic achievements of the subjects taught by teachers, but ignore the efforts made by teachers in changing students' bad value orientation, behavior habits, ideology and morality, and ignore the sweat and hard work of teachers outside the teaching work.
The object of teacher education is people, a developing individual. The results of teachers' labor education for students cannot be judged solely by students' academic achievements. The ultimate goal of education is to make every immature individual develop and integrate into society. But the object of labor is people, and there are differences between people. In addition, students' development performance needs long-term observation, which is also the joint efforts of many educational forces. In short, it is still very difficult to measure the growth of students effectively and accurately as the basis for teachers' evaluation. Therefore, the imperfect evaluation system still has a certain impact on teachers' mental health.
3. Interpersonal relationship is also a factor that affects teachers' mental health. There are both mutual cooperation and competition among peers, such as job title evaluation and promotion. There is great competition among teachers. There are many qualified people, but the number of places is limited. Some teachers take some inappropriate measures to highlight scientific research achievements, which undoubtedly brings a certain psychological shadow to themselves and others. Teachers' competition for posts and frequent examinations are also important factors to increase teachers' burden. With the development of the times, teachers' professional requirements are getting higher and higher, and some teachers' psychological ability to bear great pressure may be a little low, which may lead to anxiety and other problems. Too much pressure will affect teachers' mental health.
4. Physical health is an important factor affecting teachers' mental health. Teachers' work is far from being as simple and easy as the society says. Although the teaching profession is glorious and great, behind this glory, teachers need to pay a lot of labor to deal with a lot of work such as preparing lessons, attending classes, correcting homework and school affairs. Because of this, teachers have to bear a large part of the responsibility of educating people. Therefore, heavy work will inevitably threaten the health of teachers. Many teachers suffer from cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, scapulohumeral periarthritis, pharyngitis and so on. A lot of work has left them in a state of physical and mental exhaustion, and physical illness will further affect teachers' mental health.
Generally speaking, teachers have been under strong pressure for a long time. If this kind of excessive pressure is not vented in time and reasonably, it will lead to teachers' mental fatigue and mental state, and bring all kinds of distress, anxiety, palpitations and depression. As a result, psychological maladjustment occurred. In severe cases, it may lead to mental illness.
Teachers' mental health is very important, and teachers should pay attention to maintaining their own mental health in their daily work. As an intellectual with certain psychological knowledge, teachers should fully and seriously think about their own abilities, expecting to make reasonable judgments and form more appropriate values. This can prevent teachers from asking too much of themselves and creating a psychological gap. Teachers should abandon or weaken some viewpoints, such as fame and fortune, perfect standard and so on.
Teachers should also correctly understand the pressure from society. Students, parents, school leaders, and others in the society put forward some requirements for teachers, abide by professional ethics, only seek dedication, not enjoyment, and do better than the average person. Social workers have high expectations for teachers in training students and observing the code of conduct. The spread of some unhealthy trends in society has had a series of influences on students, making it difficult for teachers to gain a sense of accomplishment in their work.
In the face of various social pressures, teachers should first go into battle lightly, with moderate pressure, and don't give too much burden. Secondly, teachers should carefully analyze the sources of social pressure and correctly analyze the direction of their own efforts. Under reasonable standards, teachers can take the initiative to screen. Choose reasonable pressure, turn it into motivation, and solve problems with your own actions.
Teachers should strengthen their study of educational theory, professional rules, students and scientific and cultural knowledge, so as to enrich and improve themselves in an all-round way. Use your glorious behavior to influence students, help students establish a correct value orientation, and reduce the negative influence from students.
Once psychological pressure occurs, psychological anxiety will occur. Teachers should pay attention to their emotional changes. Teachers should take certain measures to relax their emotions and relieve nervous pressure.
1, teachers can make use of certain sports activities to let the pressure leak. Through the relaxation of muscles, skeletal joints, breathing exercises and nerves, the energy consumption of the body can be reduced, thus controlling bad emotions.
2. divert attention. In addition to intense work, teachers take part in colorful extracurricular activities and adjust the tense pace of life to relax their emotions and reduce their psychological pressure.
3. Chat with friends. Teachers who find psychological pressure and negative emotions can communicate with their close friends and family members, vent their inner negative emotions to a certain extent and within a certain range, and vent their pent-up energy. At the same time, through conversation, teachers can get the support and understanding of relatives and friends and get some psychological comfort.
Teachers can also take pressure as a challenge, hone themselves with strong will, resist the past and enhance their ability to resist pressure. Stress is just a subjective response to the stimulation of something. Different people have different reactions to the same stimulus. Some people feel dizzy; Second, some people disagree. People with strong pressure resistance feel less psychological pressure on the same stimulus, while people with weak pressure resistance feel great. Therefore, teachers should seize the appropriate opportunity to fight pressure with indomitable spirit, hone the quality of will, enhance the ability to resist pressure and reduce psychological pressure.
Schools and society should also set up corresponding places and institutions, such as teachers' homes, fraternity, teachers' clubs, teachers' psychological clinics, teachers' psychological health consultation hotlines, online psychological consultation, etc., and establish a psychological consultation system for teachers to help teachers relieve psychological pressure and eliminate psychological troubles in time. In addition, teachers can also be asked to do some psychological tests, set up psychological portfolios, and make observations and records. Discover teachers' psychological problems in time, help teachers to channel and solve them, and promote the healthy development of teachers' psychology.
There are thousands of methods, and choosing the one that suits you is the most important. Secondly, if teachers conscientiously implement and stick to it, their pressure will be much reduced.
Let our teachers go into battle lightly, be the leaders of students' growth and promote their healthy growth.
A selection of teachers' mental health learning experience
After school on May 14, all the teachers in our school listened to the training on mental health education given by President Yang. I have benefited a lot and felt a lot. I want to talk about the experience I gained from this training.
First, through learning, I realize that teachers' mental health needs teachers to check and reflect on themselves frequently.
In my opinion, teachers are the promoters and implementers of mental health education in schools. A successful teacher should not only have profound knowledge and superb teaching skills, but also have a sound personality and noble character. Teachers' words and deeds have a great influence on students, especially on junior students. In their minds, teachers are wise-they know everything; Is omnipotent-everything will be; Is a saint-can't make mistakes; It is authority-having higher authority than parents. Teachers' manners, manners and manners, as well as dealing with people, will have a far-reaching impact on students. Teachers with sound personality can create a harmonious and warm atmosphere in the classroom, making students feel relaxed and happy, while teachers with poor personality can only create a tense or scary atmosphere in the classroom, making students feel on pins and needles and uneasy. Therefore, teachers' perfect psychological quality and personality are the basis of good teacher-student relationship and the starting point and first principle of implementing mental health education and emotional education. The new educational practice requires every teacher to improve his personality and enhance his personality charm from the perspective of his own mental health. Through learning, I also know that teachers should be good at their own psychological adjustment and health care, know themselves and treat their own advantages and disadvantages dialectically; Learn mental health knowledge and mental health knowledge, master psychological adjustment methods, learn to relieve psychological pressure, improve bad personality and improve psychological endurance; Adjust emotions and maintain psychological balance; Be good at choosing your own happy angle to think and deal with problems and establish good interpersonal relationships; Willing to contribute to work, and arrange time reasonably to relax; Cultivate a variety of hobbies and cultivate sentiment. Only in this way can we devote ourselves to teaching activities with positive and healthy enthusiasm.
Secondly, through the study of teachers' mental health, I know that teachers must do essential work in a down-to-earth manner and pay attention to students' mental health.
China, an ancient culture, has such a motto: at the age of three, you look down on teenagers, and at the age of seven, you look down on old people. This fully shows that the mental health of primary school students has an important impact on their life. Combined with my practical experience and surrounding conditions, I have made a serious analysis of students' mental health problems. In my opinion, we are currently in a period of social transformation. Various complicated social phenomena, diversified values, pressures of further education, employment and competition, and various unpredictable variables have triggered the rise of students' mental illness, which also poses a severe challenge to the school's mental health education. Although a lot of exploration work has been done in the past and now, in the face of endless new phenomena and problems, we still have to trace back to the source in order to "prescribe the right medicine."
In short, the purpose of teaching is to teach and educate people. In order to make students form a healthy psychology, teachers should constantly improve their personality and enhance their personality charm. Good personality, elegant temperament, excellent talent and noble moral quality will exert a subtle influence on students and truly be a teacher. Only by forming a mental health education network among schools, families and society and attaching great importance to it, students' psychological quality and level will certainly develop in a healthy direction.
Fundamentally speaking, teachers' mental health must be maintained by themselves. An excellent teacher should be able to handle the relationship between two aspects-paying attention to students' mental health and their own mental health. A good teacher can bear a lot of pressure when needed, but don't let yourself be under pressure all the time, which will damage your body and mind and affect your normal work and life. As a teacher, only by constantly improving their comprehensive quality, constantly learning and mastering new knowledge, adapting to new teaching concepts as soon as possible, mastering new teaching methods and meeting new teaching requirements, can they seek new development and truly have a sense of psychological security. Teachers constantly accept new knowledge and broaden their horizons, which can also make them look at problems from a higher angle, treat unsatisfactory things in life and work with a more peaceful attitude, and experience less anxiety and frustration, which is of great significance to maintaining mental health!
This guide is the spirit of thoroughly implementing the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan and the State Council's Opinions on Current Preschool Education. It is a refinement of the outline, which provides a reference for us to understand the general development level of children of all ages more clearly.
This paper expounds the characteristics of children's learning and development from five fields: health, language, society, science and art. Among them, in the health field, well-developed body, happy mood, strong body, coordinated movements, good living habits and basic living ability are important signs of children's physical and mental health, and are also the basis of learning and development in other fields.
The Guide clearly points out that health refers to a person's good state of physical, psychological and social adaptation. A well-developed body, happy mood, strong physique, coordinated movements, good living habits and basic living ability are important signs of children's physical and mental health, and are also the basis for learning and development in other fields.
The first teaching suggestion is that adults should provide their children with a nutritious and healthy diet. This view is a new concept in the guide. I think it is necessary. Modern epidemiological research shows that lifestyle is one of the important factors affecting people's health, and a good lifestyle is beneficial to physical and mental health.
Children are in the stage of gradually forming a lifestyle. Help children gradually form a healthy lifestyle (such as regular living habits, good hygiene habits, good eating habits, exercise habits, etc.). ) is conducive to children's growth and health, and will have a positive impact on their future health. Early childhood education is very important, and kindergartens must put protecting children's lives and promoting children's health at the top of their work.
To establish a correct view of health, we must attach great importance to children's mental health. Respect and meet children's growing independent needs and encourage children to take care of themselves. Our teachers and parents should provide children with reasonable and balanced nutrition, ensure adequate sleep and proper exercise to meet the needs of children's growth and development; Create a warm interpersonal environment, so that children can fully feel affection and care, and form a positive and stable mood; Help children develop good habits of living and hygiene, improve their self-protection ability, and form a life-long beneficial ability and civilized lifestyle.
In the close reading in the field of "health", I was deeply impressed by one sentence: adults should not be overprotective, but take care of it instead, so as not to deprive children of the opportunity to learn independently. Therefore, there is another saying: a teacher who can learn to be lazy is a competent teacher. Sometimes, our teacher is like a mother who loves her children and always wants to help her do everything well.
After a nap, the teacher will help each child dress and wear shoes. When children go to the toilet to wash their hands and take cups, the teacher will hold them in one hand and carefully tie their clothes in the other. The children draw pictures for homework and play areas, and the teacher helps to distribute exercise books with crayons and collect toys ... It seems that the teacher is very competent, doing every job well and taking care of the children in every possible way.
In fact, unconsciously, children are deprived of the opportunity of autonomous learning, which hinders the development of self-care ability. As a teacher, you can learn to be "lazy" appropriately and let the children try and experience it themselves. It is better to teach him how to do everything than to help him do it well. Perhaps, children always can't do well at first, but teachers must firmly believe in their abilities and believe that children can do it.
Health includes not only the physical growth of children, but also their psychology. Children's psychological development is not yet mature, and early childhood is also an important stage for children to form a sense of security and optimism. It is particularly important for teachers to pay attention to children's psychological development.
A cheerful and extroverted child may be more easily concerned by the teacher, and the teacher can also pay attention to his emotional changes at the first time to help ease and open up. But as teachers, we should pay more attention to those introverted and melancholy children. Use your warm language and friendly attitude to help him establish a good mentality and form a sense of security and trust.
Only when the mind is released can a healthy body be devoted to the class group. At ordinary times, our teachers should always pay attention to all directions, pay attention to children's emotional changes at any time, try their best to help children adjust their emotions and encourage them to be positive.
In fact, every child is very important. As a pre-school educator, the responsibility is to make every child better on the original basis, reach the attainable level, and give full play to his due talents. To really do this, teachers need to establish the educational view and children's view of "every child is important". We still have a long way to go to interpret and practice this concept.
The above is my experience in the health field of learning guide. Tour guides play a very important role in our work. It taught me to observe the development of young children from the details. In my future work, I will continue to study, study and study again. Practice, practice, practice again; Only with such spirit and quality can we truly implement the spirit of the guide and be a qualified kindergarten teacher.
