Although this phenomenon is rarely talked about in the media, the concept of "5+2=0" is still deeply rooted in the minds of many moral educators in primary and secondary schools. "We should be educated, but the weekend offset our educational effect. 5+2 = 0', there is nothing we can do! " This is the original words of a primary school moral education teacher at a recent symposium. From this point of view, the view of "5+2=0" is quite popular among teachers, but this view just covers up the deficiency of school moral education and denies the role of family education and social education in moral education.
Are all the "5" s in school education positive?
School education, family education and social education have their own responsibilities, and the educational effect is the result of the joint efforts of the three. The low efficiency of moral education today is attributed to "5+2=0". On the one hand, it reflects the unkindness of school education in raising itself and shirking its responsibilities; on the other hand, it exposes the low immunity of "5" boasted by school education, so that it is easily offset by "2" inadvertently. Here, it is particularly important to point out that the "5" of school education is not all positive.
1. Moral education first has not been implemented.
The slogan "Educating people is the foundation and moral education is the first" is well known. But in many schools, "moral education first" has not really been implemented. Under the pressure of examination, moral education has become a "soft persimmon" that is very important to say but too late to do. Many schools pay more attention to wisdom than morality, ignoring the all-round and harmonious development of students, thus losing many opportunities for moral education.
Moreover, there are some non-educational and even anti-educational factors in school education. For example, some schools require students to speak according to "needs" when dealing with inspections and assessments at all levels. This practice of cultivating students to lie makes students doubt the "positive education" of schools and teachers in the future.
2. The education method is simple and rude.
20 10 On June 26th, 65438+5438+0 10, the article "A Question with Qian Xuesen" was published in the "Education Review" column of Education Information News. A junior two student was fined 500 times for missing the word "Xie" when solving problems until 1 1 in the afternoon. How can there be a shadow of positive education by punishing teachers so unreasonably? Coincidentally, in March of 20 10, a junior two student jumped off the fourth floor of the teaching building. The reason is that the student didn't finish his homework at the weekend, was criticized by the class teacher and was punished for standing in the corridor. Of course, students have their own reasons for jumping off a building, but is this simple and rude way of class teacher far from positive education?
In fact, it is not uncommon for teachers' simple and rude education methods to lead to "low efficiency of moral education" or even "negative effect of moral education". Therefore, how to avoid simple and rude education methods deserves every educator's reflection.
3. Moral education ability needs to be improved.
"Everyone is a moral education worker" is a common slogan in school education, but in fact, some new teachers who have just taken up their jobs lack the necessary moral education consciousness and ability, and even play a bad demonstration role for students because of their improper behavior; Although some middle-aged and elderly teachers have rich educational experience, there is a deep "concept gap" between them and their students. It is difficult for them to understand the ideas of students now, so it is difficult for them to communicate well with teachers and students.
From this point of view, the low effectiveness of school moral education is closely related to teachers' own moral education ideas and methods. Therefore, how to improve teachers' moral education ability, let moral education really enter students' hearts and arouse students' voices is a topic that can not be ignored.
Are "2" in family and social education all negative?
When we focus on the "2" of family education and social education, it is undeniable that there are indeed many negative things in current family education and some ugly phenomena in society. However, this does not mean that family education and social education are really useless in the process of students' growth. Just like the school education mentioned above, we can't completely deny the positive factors in family education and social education.
1. Actively cooperate with school requirements.
On the issue of educating students, parents and teachers have the same goal. School education can not only see the negative side of family education, but also ignore the other side that most parents actively cooperate with school requirements. It's just that some parents have some deviations in their educational concepts for the purpose of "wishing their children success". In fact, every progress of students is not only the result of teachers' education, but also the "unknown" contribution of parents. In a sense, it is because of the strong cooperation of parents that teachers can successfully complete their tasks.
Teachers often say that behind the problem students must be the problem parents and families. Admittedly, there is some truth in this statement. But it is also true that the good students in the eyes of those teachers cannot do without the credit of family education. Professor Ceng Shiqiang of Taiwan Province Normal University once said: "Family education determines a person's basic literacy". Therefore, we should not generalize about school education. When students have problems, we should blame the improper family education, and when students get grades, we should take the credit to ourselves.
2. Actively guide students to grow up.
There are many positive things in society. Every year, every month, every day, there are always good people and good things for us to feel. National moral model selection, touching China character selection, touching Zhejiang character selection, etc. It is tantamount to a rich feast of moral education. For example, Ningbo, a caring city, donated 600,000 yuan to Luo Nanying, a teacher in Qinghai Province who had never met before. Lin Ping, an ordinary employee of an insurance company in Ningbo, donated her liver for free to save an 8-year-old girl, which not only touched Zhejiang, but also aroused strong repercussions throughout the country. This kind of "ordinary righteous act, silent love" is undoubtedly a positive guide to students' growth and a moral education resource worth exploring.
In such a network society, students are also interested in some hot topics recently. For example, in Tangshan City, Hebei Province 13 peasant brothers, in order to repay the strong support from all walks of life in the 30 years since the Tangshan earthquake, they went to the south to fight the ice and snow disaster at their own expense on New Year's Eve in 2008; At the scene of Wenchuan earthquake relief, these 13 peasant brothers appeared again. It can be seen that social classes provide the most vivid examples for moral education in our school from time to time.
3. A useful supplement to school education.
Recently, "Social Studies for Primary and Secondary School Students" in Beijing has become a powerful starting point to improve the effectiveness of moral education. The "social classroom for primary and secondary school students" in Beijing is to create conditions for primary and secondary school students to carry out colorful social practice, off-campus activities and research-based learning, and build a bridge and platform linking school education with social education and campus life with social life, relying on social education resources such as patriotic education bases, museums and communities. Beijing's practice is actually a microcosm of similar practices across the country.
From April 20 10, the "National Treasure ―― China National Museum Collection Exhibition" was held in Ningbo Museum, and many precious cultural relics that could only be seen in the history textbooks of primary and secondary schools appeared in succession. In order to let primary and secondary school students see these precious cultural relics, Ningbo Museum and Ningbo Education Bureau jointly issued a document informing primary and secondary school students in the city that they can visit them for free. After the completion of Ningbo Gang Museum, it is open to the public free of charge. It has also become a good place for primary and secondary school students to learn about the development history of Ningbo Gang, feel the hard work of Ningbo Gang overseas and give back to their hometown. Such a huge social class will undoubtedly become a useful supplement to school education.
We pursue "5+2=?"
The low effectiveness of moral education is a common problem at present. School education should not use "5+2=0" to shirk responsibility, but should take the initiative to take responsibility.
Chen Xiaoya, Vice Minister of Education, published an article "Give full play to the role of schools as the main channel in the ideological and moral construction of minors" in the first issue of People's Education 20 10. In this article, the school clearly puts forward that "giving full play to the main position of classroom teaching, strengthening the construction of campus culture and strengthening social practice" should be the three main ways to strengthen the ideological and moral construction of minors.
1. Effectively improve the effectiveness of school moral education.
Schools should first strengthen their own "5" and truly establish the concept of "educating people and putting moral education first". First, by improving the effectiveness of moral education courses and strengthening the penetration of disciplines into moral education, and by strengthening the construction of teachers' professional ethics and campus culture, the role of environmental education is brought into play; The second is to improve teachers' moral education consciousness and ability, explore moral education methods to adapt to the new situation in practice, and make moral education work really enter students' hearts; Third, in view of the negative factors in school moral education, we should make up for the shortcomings in implementing "moral education first" and improving "teaching quality" to achieve a win-win situation.
In improving the effectiveness of school moral education, we should give full play to the guiding role of educational research and guide teachers to look at moral education from a research perspective. In today's teaching, the teacher's professional growth model of "experience+reflection" has been widely recognized. Similarly, in moral education, "experience+reflection" is also needed to improve the effectiveness of moral education.
2. Fully tap social education resources.
600 resource units and 100 resource bases have been selected from the "Social Classroom for Primary and Secondary School Students" in Beijing for primary and secondary schools to carry out practical activities. Although this is something that the administrative department of education considers, from the perspective of the school, we can also choose some social practice bases that meet the needs of students, such as patriotic education bases, high-tech enterprises, new agricultural bases, museums and so on. As our own practice base, let students go to the society, understand the society and learn more.
Every year, some schools organize students to watch the award ceremony of CCTV's selection of people who touched China, which is a useful attempt to develop moral education resources in social education. It can be seen that how to tap the positive factors in social education for school moral education should be a "compulsory course" in school moral education.
3. Vigorously enhance the integration of home and school education.
For the deviation of parents' educational ideas in family education, schools should strengthen guidance, correct some unreasonable ideas of parents through various channels, and keep parents' educational ideas consistent with schools.
On February 26th, 20 10, the All-China Women's Federation and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "National Family Education Guidance Outline", which clarified the requirements of schools for parents' family education guidance. Schools and teachers should regard parents as comrades-in-arms in educating students in the same trench, so that parents can feel the sincerity of schools and teachers, instead of condescending and calling parents to school at will.
To sum up, as an education department, schools must not treat the effectiveness of moral education with the inertia of "5+2=0", but should rely on society to radiate families and strive to achieve the ideal state that "5+2" is equal to or greater than 7 on the premise of continuously improving the effectiveness of their own moral education.
