Carrying out mental health education in primary and secondary schools is not only the need of social and times development, but also an important supplement to traditional school education, and it is also the need of students' all-round development and quality education. The following is my understanding of the significance of mental health education, hoping to help you!
1. Mental health education is an important part of modern school education.
(1) Mental health education is the premise of improving students' psychological quality.
Psychological quality is a relatively stable characteristic of people in psychology. It is the sum of psychological development levels. Students' cognition and success is essentially a continuous psychological activity and psychological development process. Only through the choice and internalization of individual psychological mechanism can the cultural essence provided by education penetrate into personality traits and students can move from naivety to maturity. This process is also a process of continuous improvement of psychological quality. The improvement of students' comprehensive quality is mainly influenced by psychological quality: the formation of students' various qualities should be mediated by psychological quality, and their innovative consciousness, open personality, competitiveness and adaptability should be guided by psychological quality. In the complicated and changeable social environment, maintaining good psychological adaptation is the key to resist temptation, bear setbacks and adjust yourself. Therefore, school education should not only cultivate students' intelligence, but also cultivate students' healthy psychological quality.
Mental health education mainly plays the following roles: First, imparting mental health knowledge. It is not a simple teaching, but to let students understand the scientific nature of mental health and actively avoid unhealthy mental state. The second is to follow the law of students' psychological development, help them understand themselves, guide them to change their bad behavior, eliminate their troubles and adapt to the environment. The third is to conduct good behavior training. On the one hand, it is necessary to help students increase their psychological nutrition and meet their psychological needs, on the other hand, it is necessary to give targeted counseling. In psychological counseling activities, the following principles should be followed: psychological counseling is not preaching, but listening; Not exhortation, but acceptance; Not teaching, but guiding; Not control, but participation; Not interrogation, but understanding; Not containment, but guidance; Not affectation, but sincerity; It is not superficial obedience, but inner transformation.
(2) Mental health education is the driving force of students' personality development.
Modern education pays more attention to the cultivation of students' sound personality, and mental health education has a unique function in this respect. In modern society, the development of human personality is an important measure to measure the progress of social civilization. A country or nation with colorful personality means colorful creativity and the increase of social material wealth and spiritual wealth. Therefore, contemporary world education pays more and more attention to promoting people's spiritual liberation, cultivating independent personality and developing sound personality. Judging from the current reform practice in China, whether it is hope education, success education, creativity education, happiness education and love education, they all focus on strengthening students' self-awareness and developing students' initiative and enthusiasm. The special role of psychological counseling in promoting students' personality development deserves special attention. Because the purpose of counseling itself is to promote students' positive development and form a healthy personality, assisting students in self-cognition, self-regulation, coping with setbacks, setting goals, properly expressing themselves and being good at coordinating interpersonal relationships are all important contents of a healthy personality. Therefore, developing the field of psychological counseling is more conducive to promoting the improvement of students' individual personality. Mental health education in primary and secondary schools is an education in which educators use the theories and techniques of psychology, pedagogy, sociology and even psychiatry to cultivate students' good psychological quality, improve their psychological function and give full play to their psychological potential through various ways and methods, so as to improve their comprehensive quality and harmonious development of personality.
Mental health education is the need of students' psychological development, the need of talent training in the 2 1 century, and the important content of implementing quality education. Mental health education is closely related to personality development, which directly affects the development level of individual personality. On the one hand, in the process of mental health education, students gradually improve their personality structure by accepting moral norms, behavior patterns, environmental information and social expectations. On the other hand, objective values, as a measure, evaluation and adjustment of oneself in psychological life, also affect the development of personality, and under certain conditions, objective values can also be transformed into personality traits, thus making personality development rise to a new height. At the same time, psychological counseling is not passively attached to this transformation, but actively adjusts its direction in the process of transformation, allowing individuals to grasp themselves and evaluate their behavior, so as to achieve the purpose of psychological optimization and sound personality. Psychological counseling adopts the method of psychological transposition to communicate with the mind of the counseled, thus the influence on the development of students' personality becomes more conscious and in-depth.
2. The promotion of mental health education to personality development determines that it will have a wide impact on individual personality development, mainly in three aspects.
① Mental health education affects the level of personality development. This is because, on the one hand, development makes students have a demand for knowledge, and knowledge becomes the power source for individuals to actively absorb cultural information, which will inevitably promote personality development and accept the correct information provided by psychological counseling; On the other hand, the development of personality makes the subject accept psychological counseling more consciously and actively. Therefore, personality development has always met the requirements of psychological counseling, and it is constantly becoming mature and open.
② Mental health education can maintain the continuity and stability of personality development. Mental health education communicates the relationship between students and the environment according to individual needs, thus affecting the behavior of students' peers and getting the best adaptation. Self-awareness disorder is an important cause of personality abnormality. When a person's knowledge is too stubborn, psychological problems will appear, which are manifested as lack of self-knowledge of his own personality, aimlessness, poor self-control, and frequent conflict anxiety. Mental health education has afforested this personality desert and eliminated this psychological barrier.
③ Mental health education affects the direction of personality development. Mental health education constantly recognizes, evaluates and regulates students' personality development, constantly changes their attitudes and requirements for personality development, and makes them realize what direction personality should develop and how to realize this development. Mental health education enables students to constantly understand and test the rationality of their personality development. If it is unrealistic or individual deviation exists, mental health education will help students adjust in time, so as to make their personality develop healthily.
In a word, mental health education, as a means to adjust students' personality development, plays a positive role. However, we should also see that the influence of mental health education is growing with the cognitive development of students. Students with low cognitive level have weak self-awareness, and the influence of mental health education on their personality development will gradually increase.
(3) Mental health education is the condition to develop students' potential.
One of the purposes of education is to develop people's potential resources. Good psychological quality and potential development are the premise of mutual promotion, and mental health education provides the necessary conditions for their development. Psychological research shows that human potential includes wisdom, emotion, creativity and transcendence. School education pays attention to the development of students' intelligence, emotion and creativity. In other words, develop individual's potential learning ability and motivation. The development of potential depends on individual participation in learning activities, but academic failure will reduce students' self-confidence. Therefore, mental health education will help visitors understand themselves by establishing good interpersonal relationships with them, so that their potential can be fully developed. Mental health education mainly creates the following help scenes. First, create an attempt scene, give students the opportunity to perform and let them realize themselves; The second is to create choice scenarios, give students the right to choose independently, and let them devote themselves to life once, thus establishing their own status. A small production, a role change, can activate students' creativity, which is the most dynamic factor in the potential, because it is not a person's ability, but a person's desire to create. Therefore, independent choice and successful experience can give full play to the inner vitality and potential.
In school education, there can be a separate role of psychological counseling and counseling teachers, but there should be no separate psychological education teachers. Therefore, the requirements of the state and the Ministry of Education for psychological education should be aimed at grass-roots teachers, not at students' studies. It is the minimum requirement for educational administrators.
