What adjustment troubles do freshmen usually face after entering the university?
At the beginning of the new semester, a number of new faces have been ushered in the university campus. These freshmen entered the university campus through the college entrance examination, and many of them were excellent in all aspects in middle school. However, four years later, people may find that the same group of students who entered the university have undergone earth-shaking changes. Some went to graduate school, some entered famous enterprises, and some students even became problems after graduation. Why is this happening? It is because freshmen face a series of adaptation problems after entering the university. Whether freshmen can adapt to college life as soon as possible is often the key factor for their smooth development in college. A student in a university got a high score in the college entrance examination. After entering the university, this good boy in the eyes of parents from elementary school to high school suddenly became depressed, often playing games in internet cafes, and failed several courses at the end of the term. At the end of the school year, he finally had to drop out of school. There are only a few college students who drop out of school because of poor study. However, such "acclimatization" occurs frequently among many freshmen. There is a joke that describes four years of college life: freshmen don't know what they don't know, sophomores don't know what they know, juniors know what they don't know, and seniors know what they know. This joke uses two "I don't know" for freshmen, and accurately tells the confusion of freshmen about college life. In fact, freshmen are prone to "acclimatization" not only in their studies. Generally speaking, there are four aspects of inadaptability. First, you can't find feelings in your study. After entering the university, most students show strong interest in learning and high enthusiasm for learning. But at the same time, I feel the pressure of learning. On the one hand, I am a master, and my classmates around me have strong learning ability. I have to work very hard to keep up. On the other hand, teachers no longer pay special attention to students like middle schools, and relax without reminding them. Second, there is confusion in life. Most students live a collective life from middle school to college, which is a great change in life. In the past, the concept of collective life was weak, self-care ability was poor, and social morality was not well understood. They only want others to take care of themselves, but seldom know how to take care of others and know how to be humble to each other. Therefore, after entering the independent life of the university, it is easy to have conflicts with classmates, psychological conflicts, confusion, troubles and insecurity. The third is psychological imbalance. Many freshmen are top students, excellent students and class cadres in middle schools. After entering the school, I have a wide range of contacts. I find that I no longer have this advantage, just like a river flowing into the sea. I no longer stand out from the crowd, and I am no longer the object that teachers and classmates often pay attention to, which leads to psychological imbalance. Some students have found various gaps between ideal and reality after being exposed to the reality of college life. If the admission major does not match the admission wish; The imagined university life does not match the university life seen; There is a gap between the ideal me and the real me; The effort to realize the ideal is not equal to the result, and so on. The purpose of going to college is to develop and perfect oneself. After entering the university, students are exposed to more knowledge, expand their spiritual life, and have more and more new ideas. At the same time, they feel that their knowledge is narrow and their ability to analyze and solve problems is lacking, which affects their self-development and makes them feel anxious psychologically. Fourth, interpersonal distress. After entering the university, most of the interpersonal relationships are unfamiliar and the interpersonal communication methods are different, which makes it difficult for freshmen to communicate with each other. However, freshmen must establish new interpersonal relationships as soon as possible. This kind of contradiction and conflict causes anxiety and loneliness of freshmen, and even some freshmen escape from the group and close themselves because of disharmony in interpersonal relationships. Freshmen are at a turning point in their outlook on life, with unstable emotions and strong sense of independence. Many things are the first experience, which leads to the unique anxiety, worry, loneliness and loneliness of youth. Why are freshmen prone to symptoms when facing changes? Xin, a counselor at Xianda School of Economics and Humanities, Shanghai International Studies University, believes that freshmen mainly face two environmental changes. The first is the change of interpersonal relationship. College students and middle school students come from different sources. Most middle school students study in their hometown, and there is little difference between classmates, so it is easy to communicate. College students come from all over the country, and it takes some time to get to know each other. This requires a change in communication methods. Some students will find it difficult to adapt to the changes in interpersonal communication methods and objects; Some people often find it difficult to establish friendly relations due to lack of communication skills. The second is the reform of teaching management. The university implements the credit system, so students can finish the credits ahead of time, graduate ahead of time, and extend their study time. In terms of management methods, universities emphasize students' self-management, self-education, self-service and self-restraint. At the same time, the living environment and learning tasks of universities have also brought many changes. In college, freshmen have changed from their parents' arrangement to a collective life in which everything has to be handled by themselves. Their diet, climate, language, work and rest system and hygiene habits are different. Compared with middle schools, the learning tasks in universities are more, heavier and wider. The way of learning is changed from teacher arrangement to students' own initiative arrangement. According to the new theory, freshmen entering the university is, in a sense, a real life independent training. High school students spend most of their time studying, and most things in life are taken care of by their parents. Some parents even make the bed and wash their faces every day. Now that I'm in college, I must learn to handle these things alone. College life requires students to be independent, and they need to rely on their own knowledge and ability to think, judge, choose and act. At the same time, when entering the university for the first time, the sudden loss of goals also makes freshmen feel at a loss, confused and lack of motivation and passion for learning. The unbalanced mentality of some students has also become an obstacle for them to restrain and motivate themselves. Many college students were top students in middle school, but suddenly they became ordinary students without any advantages in the university campus where talents gathered, and some even became underachievers in the class, unable to find a "feeling". There are three reasons why freshmen can't find feelings in their studies: First, many students can't adapt to the learning style of universities. Universities require college students to have a more conscious learning attitude, the ability to control their time independently and actively, and stronger self-study ability and research spirit. When freshmen are in school, they often lack the necessary training and preparation, and they are used to the teacher's indoctrination and arrangement. Many students still follow the routine of the old middle school, don't control their own time, can't grasp the key points in class, can't remember notes or can't remember all the notes, and can't make full use of library science learning, because the inadaptability of learning methods leads to a decline in learning interest. Second, university study itself is under great pressure and fierce competition. Learning in middle school is mainly an exam-oriented education. In order to win in the fierce competition of college entrance examination, students almost devote themselves to their studies, and scores become the focus of life, which leads to the poor development of students in many aspects, such as lack of learning skills, narrow knowledge, excessive protection by adults, and lack of due frustration tolerance. Therefore, they are worried about the high-intensity and difficult study in the university and the learning progress of other students. Third, the learning objectives are unclear. Influenced by the one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate, some students regard college as the only goal and motivation for their study. Stepping into the university gate with the sense of superiority of "the winner of the competition", the original goal has passed and the new goal has not yet been established. This broken state of the old and new driving forces leads to the vagueness of freshmen's learning goals, the loss of their struggle goals, and the emergence of relaxed thoughts and behaviors. How to adapt to the college life of freshmen, so as to grow and develop as soon as possible? The seniors, counselors and human resources personnel of the employer where freshmen work believe that freshmen should start from three aspects: life, study and career development to adapt to college life as soon as possible. Counselors from Xianda School of Economics and Humanities of Shanghai International Studies University have emphasized the importance of improving self-care ability. She said that good habits are an inexhaustible wealth in a person's life. She advised freshmen to stick to their own things and do what they can today. They should start with small things, be strict with themselves and control the pace of life. No matter what you do, you must be measured, handle the relationship between study and entertainment, develop good living habits, and dare to say "no" to your bad habits. At the same time, we should learn to master interpersonal skills. To communicate with students from different places and different habits, we need to seize the opportunity of communication. First of all, we should understand each other, adapt to each other and communicate actively. Secondly, students should respect and care for each other, be sincere and enthusiastic, be lenient with others, be strict with themselves, stress principles on major issues, and stress style on minor issues. When communicating with classmates, we should be kind to others and pay attention to the harmony of interpersonal relationships. Tang Xinwei, a senior majoring in information engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University, gives advice to freshmen. Tang Xinwei reminded freshmen not to think that college is a paradise for fun. In universities, although the results rankings will not be published as in high schools, competition still exists, but it is just loose outside and tight inside, which is invisible on the surface. Because scholarship evaluation, research, study abroad, exchange students and recommendation work are all very important factors, many students get good opportunities because of their good grades. Tang Xinwei believes that college study and preview are very important. Hundreds of people in the university attend classes together, especially in science and engineering. If you don't preview, you won't know what to say in class In addition, we should study consciously. Put your notes in order and digest them after class. The books and papers assigned by the teacher must be read carefully. Tang Xinwei also suggested that freshmen should pay attention to using the resources of the school to help them study. For example, lectures are the most attractive and beneficial. Some lectures may even change your ideas, affect your actions and change your life. In Tang Xinwei's view, although lectures usually last only one or two hours, teachers should finish their own topics within the specified time and make them attractive. In this case, the speaker will be carefully prepared, and some will even collect what they have learned all their lives, and talk eloquently and passionately in Kan Kan. In addition to lectures, Tang Xinwei also suggested that freshmen should make full use of all resources such as school laboratories, libraries and study rooms. Do more experiments and borrow more books you like. This invisibly expands the scope of learning, enriches the learning methods, and greatly improves the learning effect. Xin said that freshmen should explore ways to adapt to university study after entering the university. Attention should be paid to learning from excellent senior three students and listening to them introduce their own growth experiences. We should correctly understand the characteristics of university learning, gradually explore learning methods suitable for our own level and foundation, pay attention to the cultivation of self-study ability, learn to manage time, learn to use reference books, and use libraries and other conditions for self-study. Tang Xinwei, a senior at Shanghai Jiaotong University, has a profound understanding of learning from outstanding senior three students. He said that when he first entered school, the senior who was in charge of receiving him became his first "teacher". Through this senior, he learned a lot about the school. In addition to this senior, Tang Xinwei often finds a good senior, learns his learning methods and borrows many good books from him. Many things about his own development, he often asks his seniors for advice, such as which courses to focus on, which courses to take, how to select scholarships, and what characteristics teachers of various professional courses have, which has benefited Tang Xinwei a lot. Zhu Shijie, a human resources trainer, bluntly said that freshmen were "unaccustomed to the environment" because they lost their goals, which was caused by a lack of career planning awareness. He thinks that university is a new starting point for a person to grow up. Freshmen should have a correct attitude, formulate their long-term goals, short-term practical action plans and strategies in academic, ideological and moral, psychological quality and practical ability with a pragmatic attitude, do a good job in career design and motivate themselves. Zhu Shijie further reminded that career planning is not only a design, but also requires college students to make a series of career preparations. Freshmen should take the initiative to contact the society as soon as they enter school, understand the differences between campus culture and workplace culture, and prepare for their career. From the external presentation, professional literacy fully meets the needs of the workplace in terms of professional qualifications, professional attitudes, professional awareness, professional ethics, professional behavior and professional skills, among which knowledge, skills and attitudes are particularly important; Internally, all tangible manifestations are determined by intangible values, so specialty is the external manifestation of internal force. If the two are combined, the professional gives the impression that the first level is to wear clothes and hats; The second level treats people with things; The third level is to look at values. These are all things that freshmen should pay attention to and prepare from the beginning. Relevant people pointed out that freshmen should adapt to college life as soon as possible. In addition to the adjustment of students' study, life and career planning, schools should also take corresponding measures to clear the obstacles for freshmen to adapt to college life. Fortunately, the entrance education of freshmen has been highly valued by colleges and universities. In the entrance education of freshmen, through the guidance of seniors and counselors, and through the development of vocational awareness education, good conditions have been created for freshmen to adapt to college life.
