Middle school students in the new century should not only have enough scientific and cultural knowledge, but also have a healthy body and mind. Especially with the increase of the number of only-child groups and the complexity of family problems, mental health education has become an important topic in school education.
First of all, it is a prerequisite for the success of quality education to understand the psychological problems that are common among middle school students at present.
There are many reasons why students have psychological problems. Through the observation and understanding of the author's teaching process for more than ten years, the main performances are summarized as follows:
1, family influence. Parents are children's first teachers, and their moral cultivation, educational level and family environment have a direct and significant impact on children. For example, families with divorced parents have seriously devastated children's hearts. There are also some parents whose moral character is not good and their style is not correct, and the harm to their children can be imagined.
2. Improper school education. For various reasons, there are still some drawbacks in education, such as one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate, emphasis on intellectual education and neglect of moral education; Pay attention to top students and invite underachievers; School life is single, many students are tired of learning, lack of self-confidence, and regard the classroom as a prison, which makes many students feel lonely and inferior.
3. Individual differences of students. Emotion is extremely unstable and moody. Will is generally indecisive, anticlimactic and poor self-control. Students who are easily influenced by hints often show pessimism, disappointment and self-abandonment. In addition, the personality factor is also a typical psychological obstacle of middle school students, which is generally manifested as: pride and conceit; Selfish and narrow-minded; Inferiority and cowardice.
4. Adolescent syndrome. The manifestations are as follows: (1) After middle school students enter adolescence, with the development of physiology, their psychology also changes, and their emotions become lonely, anxious and depressed, which is regarded as youth troubles; (2) At some point, I soon lost interest in learning and became depressed, which became adolescent depression. There are also youth fantasies and the so-called "puppy love" problem.
Second, make overall plans and do a good job in mental health of middle school students in many aspects.
(A) to strengthen learning and improve the psychological quality of teachers.
"Teachers should be psychologists" is a new requirement for teachers in modern education. The development of modern education requires teachers to be "not only the transmitter of human knowledge, but also the shaper of students' minds and the defender of students' mental health." As a people's teacher, we should have a strong ability to adjust our emotions, adjust our mentality with scientific knowledge, keep ourselves in a positive, optimistic, peaceful, stable and healthy state, and devote ourselves to education and teaching with vigorous energy, rich emotions and healthy emotions.
(2) Offering mental health courses to educate students' psychological quality.
Psychology is a science that studies the objective laws of the occurrence and development of human psychological phenomena. Psychological knowledge is of great benefit to learning. It can promote students' understanding of themselves and improve their self-education ability. If middle school students learn psychological knowledge, they can learn according to psychological laws. Psychological knowledge can also answer the difficult problems in middle school students' thoughts and life, so as to know themselves more deeply and play the role of self-knowledge, self-development and self-improvement. Learning psychological knowledge can not only improve yourself, but also have a positive impact on correctly handling interpersonal relationships. Because when you understand your own psychology, you also learn to understand the psychology of your classmates, so that you can take corresponding attitudes towards students with different temperament and personality, thus preventing unnecessary contradictions and strengthening friendship with your classmates.
(3) Schools should guide teachers to carry out mental health education in an all-round, multi-angle and deep-seated way.
1. There are "sticking points" in students' psychology (such as study anxiety, interpersonal anxiety, emotional impulse tendency, self-reproach tendency, allergy tendency, terror tendency, etc.). ). Classroom is the best position to radically cure this "crux". Special education counseling is a link that can not be ignored in quality education. The author believes that the "mental health education as a compulsory course" advocated by the state should be truly implemented at the grassroots level. Not only for students with psychological barriers, but also for all middle school students, so as to achieve preventive consultation and timely treatment. We should firmly grasp the classroom as the main channel of mental health education for middle school students, eliminate students' psychological obstacles, and make them grow up healthily in an environment with peace of mind, stable emotions, flexible thinking and clear love and hate.
2. Carry out colorful activities and integrate mental health education into beneficial activities. Through students' favorite activities, such as social practice, scientific and technological cultural and sports activities, theme class meetings and so on. We can shape students' good psychological quality, make students develop their talents, develop their imagination and creativity, cultivate good quality and improve their psychological quality.
3. Conduct individual psychological counseling. Students' worries, anxieties and nervousness often vary from person to person. Sometimes it is difficult for collective guidance to get the best results. Individual counseling should be adopted to help them reduce their psychological pressure and burden. School mental health education can provide targeted counseling or training according to students' behavior, which is helpful for students to develop good behavior habits and improve their social adaptability.
4. Strengthen the training of teachers' psychological professional knowledge. As the saying goes, "it takes hard work to strike while the iron is hot". If you want to teach students who are physically and mentally healthy, you must have high-quality and high-level teachers. However, the current education system does not flatter teachers' psychological training, and teachers' own knowledge is simply a drop in the bucket in the face of endless psychological problems. As a psychological counselor, I urge the government and leaders at all levels to attach importance to teachers' psychological training.
In a word, strengthening mental health education of middle school students, improving students' ideological cultivation level and establishing a scientific world outlook is a process of simultaneous implementation. In this process, the duty of psychological counseling teachers lies in giving students some help and guidance through psychological counseling, prompting them to change their cognitive structure, mood and attitude patterns, making evaluations and choices on their own behaviors, and solving problems in their study and life, so as to better adapt to the new environment, constantly maintain and improve their physical and mental health, improve their psychological quality and comprehensive quality, and make their life develop qualified and rich, and move towards self-realization.
