Currently, Chinese education is facing many problems. In colleges and universities, the huge class of poor students has become a real problem. Moreover, at this special critical point as the 100th anniversary of China’s modern education, understanding the importance of students’ The historical responsibility is appropriate at the right time. Today's college students are faced with various complex problems, such as high tuition fees, employment difficulties, etc. The cases of Liu Haiyang, Ma Jiajue and others that have appeared in the past two years have made people aware of the psychological problems of Chinese college students. Until now, experts and scholars have been unable to provide a convincing explanation for this phenomenon. With the current vigorous development of higher education, questions such as "What is a good campus and what kind of education is good education?" arise endlessly.
What is real education? Einstein once said: “When you forget everything that school teaches you, all that’s left is education.” He also said, “More than three-quarters of a person’s knowledge is learned outside the classroom. "Arrived." On the gate of Harvard University is engraved: "Come in to increase wisdom, go out to serve the motherland and compatriots." This may reveal the connotation of education in some aspects. At present, China's humanities education and science education are divided into two aspects, and the conflict between the two cultures has become increasingly fierce. Humanistic activists believe that technological elements are vulgar, indifferent to human history and culture, lack aesthetic knowledge, and only care about practical utility. However, scientific and technological intellectuals believe that humanistic activists lack love and care for their compatriots. They care more about classical knowledge that has nothing to do with people's livelihood. They have a sense of cultural superiority, are poor and pedantic, and are full of dissatisfaction with the real society. Humanities scholars and science and technology scholars stand at opposite ends and attack each other, so that the talents cultivated by education can only be specialists, which is extremely detrimental to the development of society.
Nowadays, universities are too strict in classifying students into a narrow major. Although it enables students to learn certain professional knowledge, it also makes students lose their grasp of the entire culture, thus creating a group of nearly useless super experts and idiot doctors. Compared with the West, our current education system has many problems. This is largely due to historical reasons. Western higher education originated from the free education of ancient Greece. Their purpose is to cultivate "general, broad, omnipotent, and kind-hearted people", that is, to cultivate people who are good in body and mind, like Goethe. A world-wide genius, but unfortunately there has been almost no such genius since the Goethespring. This educational concept has also been spread to a certain extent in China after the "May 4th" New Culture Movement.
Currently, the purpose of China’s higher education is to cultivate people who “have independent production capabilities, certain professional skills and vocational abilities.” In layman’s terms, it is to cultivate intellectuals who can support their families. The social responsibility that our college students have to bear is social education and changing social trends. In essence, experts and intellectuals are different. Intellectuals who can develop nuclear weapons are experts, while experts who can sign the anti-nuclear manifesto are real intellectuals.
After the founding of New China, China’s education has always had a very strong utilitarianism, that is, it attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and has popularized basic engineering education. At present, China's educational circles are also aware of this problem, focusing too much on the development of science and technology and neglecting humanistic education. , has caused a lot of trouble to China’s education. In order to solve this problem, the relevant education departments have begun to formulate some plans. For example, the college entrance examination system used to be completely divided into arts and sciences, but now it is a small comprehensive. In some places, a large comprehensive has been implemented. This also reflects the needs of society from a certain aspect. Talent is a generalist rather than a specialist.
For China’s industrialization, we need not only technical talents, but more importantly organizational talents and management talents. The knowledge they need is not limited to technology, but also psychology, ethics, philosophy, and morality. Social and other aspects must also be studied. What society needs is generalists first and experts second. Experts without generalists cannot be considered real experts. Technically, it is relatively easy to reach a certain specific level, but how social managers should manage cannot be answered by technology itself. Therefore, it is very important for our college students to cultivate knowledge beyond professional knowledge.
Current college students should pay attention to major issues and social issues, especially issues outside their majors, and strive to attract knowledge from all aspects, so that they can become as general a person as possible, rather than a specialist, as in recent times Are there repeated mining accidents that have occurred over time? Why are there no effective ways to maintain the personal safety of miners? Why do so many operators pursue so-called economic value regardless of the lives of miners? "This is an issue that our college students should consider.
Although the current educational situation in China is very unsatisfactory, and educational corruption has also put a layer of soot on the sacred education, as an accepted Contemporary college students, the main body of higher education, should still establish a correct outlook on life, values, and worldview. They should look at problems from a comprehensive perspective, and should not focus on the current situation without looking at history and the future. The same should be said for learning knowledge, and should not be limited. Regarding a certain major or a certain aspect, you must know that generalists have a larger market than specialists. Only by becoming a generalist can you better understand professional knowledge.
Finally, I hope that all college students can work hard in this direction, and it will be you who will change Chinese education in 20 years.
Responsibility awareness is an individual’s self-awareness and awareness of their role responsibilities. It includes two aspects: on the one hand, people’s actions must be responsible for others and society; on the other hand, people must be responsible for what happens to themselves. Actions must bear corresponding responsibilities. Objectively speaking, today's college students have a certain understanding of the sense of responsibility, and their sense of responsibility is stronger than that of their peers: volunteering, contributing to society, warming up to society, devoting themselves to reform, inspiring life, and combating evil diseases, showing the strong will of young intellectuals sense of social responsibility and historical mission. Young college students are the builders and successors of the motherland. A strong sense of responsibility will generate strong spiritual motivation, allowing young college students to organically combine their own talents, personal destiny with social development and the needs of the country, and train themselves to be popular in society. Qualified talents. However, due to the influence of young students' own consciousness development level, social changes, society, family, school education and other comprehensive factors, in recent years, college students' sense of responsibility has shown a tendency to weaken below the requirements of their role responsibilities. Therefore, exploring the topic of college students' sense of responsibility has strong practical significance in the current efforts to build citizen morals and ideological and political work in colleges and universities.
1. Specific manifestations of college students’ weakened sense of responsibility:
(1) Strong self-awareness and diluted personal responsibility
Some students are usually self-centered and only Consider yourself, not willing to help others, only seeking rights, not fulfilling obligations, hoping others will respect you, but unable to treat others with courtesy, having too high demands on society and low demands on yourself; taking the individual as the main body, focusing on personal struggle, personal development, and collective and insufficient collaboration, service, and dedication. In social activities, I am willing to be the protagonist rather than a supporting role. I am unwilling to do repetitive and output-oriented work. I am always worried that I will be buried, overqualified, and take personal gains and losses too seriously. Our school once conducted a sample survey, and 18.5% of the students agreed that "I would rather let the world down than the world let me down." Another 11.4% of students believed: "If people do not serve themselves, it is natural for them to be punished by heaven and earth."
(2) Low awareness of public morality and discipline, and weakened role responsibilities
As college students in the new century, learning knowledge, learning to do things, and learning to be a human being are their main tasks and responsibilities. However, some college students do not have a strong learning atmosphere and are seriously tired of studying. There are many people who are dawdling and getting a diploma. Therefore, there is a market for cheating in exams, asking teachers for scores, and there is a huge market for "shooters"; some students regard destroying public property as child's play. , do not turn off the faucet when using water, and leave the lights on when people leave; some people are overly affectionate with the opposite sex in public places and commit some indecent behaviors; cultural garbage such as "toilet literature" and "desk literature" are banned repeatedly.
(3) Misalignment between personal responsibility and social responsibility
Responsibility is people’s feeling of moral responsibility towards society or others. Young students have been immersed in family care for a long time. During their studies, they formed a relatively clear and strong sense of responsibility for themselves and their families, which was strengthened as they entered university and developed their self-awareness. However, due to their limitations in understanding and lack of social interaction, they were not used in university. The connotation and extension of this sense of responsibility have been expanded and deepened, and social responsibility and personal responsibility cannot be unified. This sense of responsibility that lacks social responsibility overemphasizes one's own personality defects, leading to a narrow and myopic sense of responsibility among young students. Improper relationship between individuals and society. They believe that good intentions are not rewarded, so they do their own thing and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles. They do not actively participate in group activities and are relatively indifferent to people and things. Some students regard the amount of material enjoyment as their own value orientation and are selfish. profit. When there is a conflict of interest between the two, more emphasis is placed on self-needs and social responsibilities are ignored or even abandoned, showing a serious misalignment between personal and social responsibilities. At present, when graduates choose an employer, they first look at the price (salary), secondly the location (geography), and thirdly the brand (the popularity of the unit). The career expectations remain high, and the employment rate in colleges and universities is generally low. This is the most specific reason for the mismatch between the two. Performance. Moreover, once we encounter some setbacks, instead of looking for and analyzing the reasons within ourselves, we excessively blame society and attribute the problem to social unfairness, unfairness, and unequal opportunities.
2. Reasons for the weakening of the sense of responsibility:
(1) The internal reasons for the weakening of the sense of responsibility - the contradictory influence of students’ psychology
College students generally have In the middle and late stages of youth, their psychological development is rapidly maturing but not yet fully mature, their behavioral development is in the heteronomic stage, and they are easily excited and biased emotionally. Because the living environment is superior, and most of them are only children in the family, they have not received the cultivation of independent ability and the necessary education on setbacks, resulting in carefree thoughts, lack of a sense of urgency, responsibility, and lack of motivation to learn; currently due to the market economy Under the conditions of social groups, differences in interest distribution and diversification of values, college students' confusion and contradictions in values ??have increased significantly. On the one hand, I feel that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world; on the other hand, I see money worship and extreme individualism tendencies and have doubts; on the one hand, I receive positive education in school; on the other hand, I see some negative corruption phenomena and feel at a loss what to do. These are mainly reflected in two contrasts: 1. The contrast between inside and outside the campus.
Schools are promoting high-level moral standards, but low-level moral behavior and moral consciousness are also spreading among some people in society. Long-term ideological and political work is often offset by some wrong public opinion guidance and some scandals circulating in society. 2. The contrast between ideal education and social reality. Today's college students are seeking novelty versus conservatism, superiority versus inferiority, seeking difference versus conformity. They form their own concepts and behaviors in the conflict of values ??such as contribution and request, individual and collective, etc. In terms of value judgment and sense of responsibility, there are "concern and indifference are compatible, hope and confusion coexist, enterprising and visiting, recognition and loss are intertwined" " mentality. Therefore, some students are indecisive in the choice of likes and dislikes. Under the interference of material desires and external factors, it is difficult to build a solid moral wall. They have lost the sense of responsibility that college students should have, and even the most basic "do something and not do something". It is also difficult to follow the basic life principles of "", which also makes their pursuit of sense of responsibility lack of intensity, which affects the improvement of their resistance to the outside world and their ability to deal with difficulties.
(2) Misguided mass media and distortion of moral education evaluation
In reality, there is a phenomenon of misguided moral propaganda and teaching in the mass media. This has a negative impact on the group of college students who are willing to accept information. It has had a negative impact on the cultivation of life cultivation and sense of responsibility. For example, the mass media’s promotion of mainstream values ??and concepts of responsibility is unclear, lacks intensity in dealing with non-responsibility phenomena, and even contains unscientific and unhealthy factors in the communication content. This not only easily causes students who lack discernment to have a sense of responsibility. Confusion about the recognition of norms and the choice of responsible behavior, and because some misguided propaganda one-sidedly caters to the mentality of some college students, they often offset the impact of the positive moral education students have received for many years. In addition, in reality There are not only the lack of education on family responsibility, insufficient education on social responsibility, and ineffective education on responsibility in schools, but there is also the problem of inconsistent understanding of the mainstream concept of responsibility among families, schools, and society, which makes responsibility education ineffective. Disjointed in every aspect. At the same time, it is difficult for the existing assessment system to effectively restrain students' irresponsible words and deeds, and it is even more difficult for the assessment function to serve as a warning. Due to the lack of effective supervision and inspection in the current management of moral education in schools, such as the lack of qualitative and quantitative assessment and analysis of students' ideological and moral character, moral standards, etc., it is difficult to compare the development of students' ideological and political morals with students in a true sense. The employment and evaluation of various rewards are linked, making school moral education dispensable for a considerable number of students, or the problem of "impression" can be flexibly grasped, reducing the authority and sense of reality of moral education, and students' acceptance of moral education Consciousness and initiative are greatly reduced.
3. To strengthen college students’ sense of responsibility, we must not only start from the internal and external factors that improve the sense of responsibility, but also focus on ideological education and orientation based on the characteristics of college students who are in the learning and shaping stage. Based on reality, the following measures should be taken:
(1) Strengthen students’ ideological education and strengthen students’ sense of responsibility
The new situation after further deepening of the market economy and joining the WTO Under the current situation, colleges and universities must strengthen the ideological education of college students and apply the field of Marxism. Analyze problems with viewpoints and methods, improve the ability to identify and resist the erosion of various erroneous trends of thought and decadent thoughts, and establish lofty ideas and firm beliefs. First of all, we must strengthen students' sense of responsibility and mission to be determined to become talented and study hard. Through the "Two Trees" main channels and ideological education work, we insist on arming the minds of college students with Deng Xiaoping Theory, constantly improving the ideological and moral quality of college students, and guiding students to combine the realization of their own values ??with the aspirations and requirements of serving the motherland and the people, and consciously The knowledge and skills learned are dedicated to the motherland and the people; at the same time, we must help students clarify their learning goals, continuously stimulate their motivation to learn and become talents, and establish a good study style so that they cherish their time, study hard, strive to master more knowledge, and serve economic construction. Lay a firm foundation; secondly, educate students to learn how to behave and enhance their sense of moral mission. Under the new form, colleges and universities should aim to train students to become "people with a sense of social responsibility and professionalism, people with scientific and cultural knowledge and pioneering ability, people with ambition and both ability and political integrity." According to the personality characteristics of young students, students are influenced and educated silently and subtly to learn to care about others and society, to learn to do things and handle various conflicts correctly, to learn to correctly distinguish between right and wrong, and to clarify their responsibilities; Adhere to the value orientation of unity of justice and benefit. When different interests conflict, we must take into account the overall situation, put public before private, and consciously subordinate personal partial interests to the overall interests; insist on putting the interests of the country and the people first and provide effective services to society. , in exchange for their due benefits.
Thirdly, it is necessary to introduce and attach importance to psychological counseling work. Although young college students are a group with higher IQ, they are not necessarily a group with high "increasing quotient". At the same time, psychological counseling must be used as an important method for students' ideological education to guide students to have correct and healthy life values ??and physical conditions for responsibility. The main function of psychological counseling is to provide life guidance, study guidance and psychological counseling to students. Through classes, discussions, and individual counseling psychological training methods, we can improve students' self-awareness and abilities, solve psychological problems or confusions encountered by students, promote students' ideological and psychological maturity, improve their personality, and enhance the effectiveness of ideological education work. . Thus, the sense of responsibility of young students can be improved.
,
(2) Exploring and practicing a reasonable moral education evaluation system to strengthen students’ sense of responsibility as a person
Evaluating the comprehensive moral, intellectual and physical qualities of young students is an important way to promote students’ ideological development The need for healthy growth in political, political and moral aspects is also the need to promote the overall development of students in the specific practice of quality education. At present, the comprehensive evaluation of students generally has the phenomenon of "one hand is soft and the other is hard". The evaluation of moral education is lower than that of intellectual education and physical education, and appears to be relatively weak and lacks operability and standardization. Therefore, in order to actively guide students to form correct thoughts and behaviors in practice and enhance students' sense of responsibility, we must establish a reasonable evaluation system by strengthening the requirements for students' actual conditions and assessment management, and encourage students to take the initiative Participate, improve students' initiative and consciousness in accepting responsible education, and eliminate the common phenomenon of "one hand is soft and the other is hard" in the comprehensive quality assessment process of college students. The new evaluation system makes moral education routine and daily life, and forms the evaluation content of students' ideological and political morals with concrete, standardized and operable value; it organically unifies the requirements of society and the intrinsic needs of individual students. , from the management point of view, we can achieve an effective combination of qualitative and quantitative, goals and processes. The addition and subtraction of points during assessment can objectively play a guiding role for students, that is: on the one hand, students must abide by school disciplines and rules, standardize their daily words and deeds, and take responsibility for themselves and society; on the other hand, the majority of Students' self-motivation, professionalism and competitive awareness are stimulated and influenced, and they develop good habits of being responsible for themselves and society, thereby strengthening their sense of responsibility as a person.
(3) Create a good educational atmosphere and promote the formation of students' sense of responsibility
A good blind environment is conducive to controlling emotions, inhibiting behavior, cultivating sentiments, purifying the soul, Enlighten wisdom. Colleges and universities are the main battlefield for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. They should give full play to the important role of environmental education in students' growth, especially in cultivating their sense of responsibility. First of all, we should create a beautiful campus environment. Just imagine, the campus is full of flowers, the windows are bright and clean, elegant and tranquil. How can students not be influenced by the atmosphere of seeking knowledge, how can they not seriously examine and assume their own words, deeds and responsibilities. Secondly, we should strengthen the construction of campus culture, actively mobilize students, carry out colorful and lively amateur activities and scientific and technological cultural competitions, carry forward the main theme, and integrate scientific, ideological, artistic and interesting aspects. This can play a good role in guiding students to study diligently, be willing to practice, and have the courage to take responsibility, and can greatly promote the formation of a good study style in the school. Third, we should actively carry out public opinion supervision inside and outside the school, and effectively criticize wrong words and deeds and ugly phenomena that deviate from socialist morality; public opinion guidance should promote noble moral sentiments, guide moral choices, and form a unique social force and moral mechanism to enable Ugly immoral behavior is like a rat crossing the street. The moral behavior that makes people happy has a strong contagious effect on all members of society, thereby promoting the improvement of social moral standards and the mellowing of customs and customs, making the moral construction continue to progress and sublimate, thus affecting and promoting the improvement of college students' sense of responsibility.
