There are many contents about mental health education in the current junior middle school "Ideology and Morality" textbook. In teaching, if teachers can combine the cognitive characteristics of junior high school students and use appropriate teaching methods to educate students on mental health, it will not only promote students' psychological quality, but also promote the development of quality education. but
The school where the author works is a typical and special rural junior middle school. Say "typical" because 98% of the students in our school are rural hukou; Say "special" because our school is located in the suburbs, not far from the urban area, and the school is also a middle school directly under the Municipal Bureau. However, the students in this special area of urban-rural fringe are different from the simple and honest students in rural areas and the smart and well-informed students in cities. According to my observation, the psychological problems of students in our school are also serious. The most common psychological problems are as follows: 1. The most obvious manifestation of inferiority in school life is lack of confidence and interest in learning. There is no perseverance in learning. Give up learning when you encounter some difficulties, and don't believe that you can do it. Such students are common in our school. Not only ordinary students and poor students, but also top students have more or less inferiority complex. The backwardness and isolation of rural areas make them feel a sense of shame when they compete with urban students. 2. Anxiety This kind of students' performance in school life is that they are often troubled, depressed and in an anxious state. Especially during the exam, I was so nervous that most of them couldn't play normally. In China's current middle school education system, the educational structure is unreasonable, and most of them are ordinary middle schools.
What students learn in middle school is basically prepared for the college entrance examination, and only a small part of them really enter the university. Students are faced with the phenomenon of difficulty in entering a higher school, employment and narrow way out, especially those underachievers with poor grades, who feel hopeless in entering a higher school. A sense of sadness and panic that there is no way out after graduation controls them. This situation is reflected in their study, that is, they feel heavy in study, hate studying and are anxious about exams. 3. rebellious psychology we often find that some students on campus wear strange clothes and behave differently from others in all aspects. It can also be said that they are different. When others were studying quietly, he deliberately told a joke loudly with his deskmate for others to hear. Listening to songs and chatting in class, the teacher deliberately interrupted. These students
Don't listen to your parents at home and teachers at school; Disturbing classroom discipline, not completing homework, and sometimes skipping classes; Schools often advocate the opposite, and even engage in some pranks or sabotage from time to time. They often show disobedience to their teachers or parents' education and tell him not to do so, but he insists on doing so and even openly contradicts them. 4. Locking psychology Locking psychology is an independent psychological activity with obvious self-sealing tendency. With the increase of social perception, emotional experience and life experience, the increase of secrets in inner world and the enhancement of self-esteem, the subject will consciously or unconsciously adopt a locked negative psychological way to close his inner world, trying to shut himself in a Xiaotian field, and will not easily reveal his heart to others (including his relatives, friends, teachers and classmates), thus showing a unique psychological closure.
The current textbook "Ideology and Morality" in junior middle schools permeates the requirements of students' personality and intelligence cultivation from different aspects, and is an important resource for mental health education, which is very conducive to cultivating students' healthy psychology. Therefore, teachers should carefully study the teaching materials with new ideas and eyes, and explore and develop valuable contents suitable for mental health education.
For example, the diversity of emotions, the influence of emotions on people's health and the methods to adjust emotions in Unit 1, Section 3, Grade 7; Seventh grade, Unit 1, Section 2, about correctly understanding and evaluating yourself; The second unit of grade seven is about correctly understanding difficulties, adversity and setbacks, tempering will and exercising personality; The first section of Unit 5 of Grade 9 is about how to treat the study pressure correctly and overcome the test anxiety. The first section of Unit 4 of Grade 7 correctly treats the competition and cooperation in social life and cultivates the qualities of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance. The second unit of Grade 8 is about cherishing life, creating the value of life and keeping a positive mental state.
This undoubtedly provides the feasibility of infiltrating mental health education into thinking class teaching. The content of mental health education in ideological and moral course should make full use of these combinations, and give psychological guidance to students through group discussion, debate and typical case analysis of role models' stories, so that students can form correct psychological guidance. 2, set an example, cultivate their own psychological quality, with their own healthy mentality to give students a positive psychological infection.
In the classroom, teachers' needs and interests affect students' needs and interests, and teachers' personality affects the development and formation of students' personality. Therefore, teachers must set an example. In front of students, especially in class, teachers should learn to adjust their emotions, keep an optimistic attitude and be the masters of their emotions.
Don't always be troubled by bad emotions, transfer troubles and resentment to students, and get angry and angry with students at inappropriate times. As an ideological and moral teacher, you should have a wide range of interests (determined by the comprehensiveness of ideological and moral disciplines) and profound knowledge, so that students can admire you and be attracted by you, and always pay attention to the areas that students are interested in, so as to give students a greater sense of distance and facilitate communication with students; Smile at students, actively encourage and evaluate students, and always let students feel the attention, trust and respect from teachers; In speech and behavior, students can feel optimistic, generous, self-control, humor, wisdom and other teacher spirit, and can infect students like Chunfeng. 3. Using typical cases skillfully to cast students' mental health.
Typical cases must be short and pithy, which plays a unique role in the casting of students' healthy psychological quality in ideological and moral teaching.
Students can be educated on the importance of mental health and moral emotion. Typical cases can be philosophical stories, anecdotes of celebrities, or jokes and fables. For example, when I was in the third quarter of Unit 5 of Grade 9, I was full of confidence in the future, constantly improving myself and constantly challenging myself. I have listed many stories of role models, such as Zhang Haidi's paraplegia, who is still striving for self-improvement; Sang Lan, a national gymnast, was accidentally injured. After encountering major setbacks in life, Sang Lan always looks at himself with a peaceful mind and faces the future with confidence. After listening to the touching stories of Lili, one of the top ten figures in China, the students were all moved by the perseverance, tenacity and confidence in life embodied in these role models, so as to prepare for internalizing them into their own psychological quality. 4. Create a good classroom psychological atmosphere and form effective classroom management.
In classroom teaching, teachers should adhere to the psychological health principles of classroom teaching, such as pleasure, encouragement, difference and support, carefully organize teaching contents, actively improve teaching methods and carefully set up problem situations, pay attention to stimulating students' interest, entertaining and encouraging success, and promote the formation of a good classroom atmosphere through an equal, democratic and cooperative teacher-student relationship.
For example, in class, we advocate that you can repeat wrong answers, supplement incomplete answers, think again if you are not sure, ask questions if you are not sure, discuss different opinions, correct teachers' mistakes, and even discuss them when necessary. With such a learning atmosphere, students can speak freely, think, ask and speak boldly, which is not only conducive to the development of students' thinking, but also conducive to making students easily get rid of emotional obstacles, overcome negative psychology and form a healthy learning psychology. Anyway,
Facing the increasingly prominent psychological problems of rural middle school students, it is necessary and feasible to carry out students' psychological health education in junior middle school ideological and moral courses.
The ideological and moral course in junior middle school should become an important platform for students' mental health education. We should make good use of the main position of classroom teaching and let students have a healthy psychology.
