First, the standard of teachers' mental health
Mental health refers to a person's completely normal mental state and high social adaptability, including emotional characteristics and will characteristics, normal understanding, good personality and sound personality. Mental health standard is a yardstick to evaluate people's mental health level. Generally includes the following points:
1. Fully know yourself: truly understand, correctly evaluate, be willing to accept and like yourself.
2. Have a good level of educational cognition: be able to face the reality and actively adapt to the environment and work requirements, and have the ability to creatively carry out educational and teaching activities.
3. Love the teaching profession and actively love students: You can get self-comfort and self-realization from the education of love, and get a sense of accomplishment from the fruitful education and teaching.
4. Have a stable and positive educational mentality: Whether the teacher's educational psychological environment is stable, optimistic and positive will affect his psychological state and behavior, and also affect the effect of educational work.
5. Emotion and emotional self-control: clear and firm purpose in work; Decisiveness and persistence in dealing with problems; Calm and self-control in the face of contradictions.
6. Harmonious educational interpersonal relationship: get along with others in communication and have a more positive attitude.
7. Can adapt to and transform the educational environment: adapt to the current environment of development, reform and innovation, and actively make suggestions and suggestions for improving teaching quality.
Second, the status quo and performance of mental health of primary school teachers
1. First of all, teachers' psychological problems are more serious. Such as: inferiority complex; Jealousy is prominent, especially in the evaluation of professional titles, excellent assessment and other things, and mutual suspicion in promoting leaders; Willing to be anxious; Bad temper; Coupled with the requirements of the social climate, teachers' work is fast-paced and stressful, and their remuneration is out of proportion to their efforts, so they are easily angered by a little thing.
2. Corporal punishment and disguised corporal punishment occur from time to time. Corporal punishment in schools is not caused by teachers' bad morality, but by teachers' psychological pressure and inability to control their emotions. Therefore, such teachers have some psychological obstacles more or less.
3. Teachers' psychological barriers. Teacher Zhang is a primary school teacher. After graduating from college, she served as the head teacher for several years. Because she is conscientious and responsible in her work, many parents send their children to her class to study. This semester, the teacher changed. The reason is that he is always worried that teaching mistakes will affect students' academic performance and be looked down upon by leaders and parents. The reason is that she can't stand the pressure at work.
Third, the causes of mental health problems of teachers
According to experts, the psychological conflict caused by teachers' multiple roles is an important cause of mental health problems. The nature of teachers' work determines that they should play multiple roles: imparting knowledge and managing student activities; Students' friends, psychotherapists and communicators need to deal with other teachers, students' parents and school leaders.
At the same time, be a father, a mother and a son. The multi-directional role transformation has caused teachers' mental health problems. However, the new system of professional title evaluation, teacher appointment and performance pay has brought great pressure to teachers, which has led to problems.
1. The education system has brought some psychological pressure to primary school teachers.
In recent years, with the advancement of the reform process, teachers feel the pressure, and some can adapt to the needs of the situation and turn the pressure into motivation. Some are psychologically fragile, which leads to psychological crisis due to excessive pressure. In the short term, we can't adapt to the requirements of the new curriculum reform, and only take students with good cultural knowledge as talents.
2. Teachers' lack of coping style leads to their psychological problems.
Heavy work and great pressure. Because it is difficult and demanding to be a qualified teacher, this has caused serious mental health problems for teachers. Teachers know how to deal with them, thus causing their psychological contradictions, conflicts and mental health problems.
Due to years of accumulated "psychological fatigue", it is easy to form loneliness and eccentricity, pride in pride and sadness in frustration, which will also lead to psychological problems of teachers.
3. Overweight work pressure also makes teachers worry that they can't teach courses, improve teaching quality and test scores. At work, teachers can't work and live normally because of endless exams, endless work and endless hearts: teachers' obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression and paranoia are higher than the general population.
Fourthly, the countermeasures to solve the mental health problems of primary school teachers.
1. Teachers should pay attention to mental health, learn to vent and transfer pressure, adjust their mentality, rest more, listen to music and sing more; The so-called catharsis is to talk and find intimate friends to tell their experiences and thoughts; Transfer is to want to be happy, and to ease your nervous mood at any time.
We should learn more psychological knowledge to adjust our psychological problems. If we think the problem is serious, we can consult a psychologist. Relevant departments should also establish corresponding psychological intervention mechanisms. Externally, through system adjustment, teachers' pressure will be reduced and the psychological education mechanism of teachers will be improved.
Psychological examination and psychological quality test can be carried out to let teachers know their mental health; Offering lectures on mental health education, mastering psychological knowledge and enabling them to adjust themselves; Set up psychological counseling points to serve teachers.
2. Schools should attach importance to teachers' mental health. Leaders' concern for teachers can stimulate teachers' enthusiasm for work. Mental health care for teachers is embodied in: being good at listening; Praise and support for the work; Communicate with teachers and care about their family life; Attach importance to the training of teachers.
All these can make teachers feel respected and build trust between leaders and teachers; Create a relaxed and harmonious working environment for teachers and establish good interpersonal relationships; Improve teachers' professional ability and make them feel a sense of achievement; Solve life difficulties for teachers; Promote the harmony of teachers' mental health.
3. Be aggressive and work hard. Teachers with high mental health level can give full play to their personality and intelligence in their work, and get satisfaction and encouragement from their work. Only teachers who love their work and regard it as a pleasure can maintain a healthy psychology.
4. Empathy, adjust the perspective of the problem. Empathy, from a positive perspective, see more mainstream and positive things, and avoid generalizing. Deal with problems in a low-key way, and be content. Facing the desire for perfection, we should set practical goals and bid farewell to psychological difficulties with a normal heart.
5. Establish a good interpersonal circle. People's psychological adaptation is the adaptation to interpersonal relationships. The higher the mental health level of people with good interpersonal relationships, the stronger their ability to withstand setbacks and adapt to society, and the more successful they will be in life. Therefore, teachers should learn to communicate with others, integrate into society harmoniously, and ensure a healthy psychology.
Successful teachers are willing to associate with students and others, and they can easily become good teachers and students' friends.
6. Actively participate in continuing education. With the rapid development of modern society, new knowledge emerges one after another. Teachers are the disseminators of knowledge and the leaders of human knowledge. Therefore, it is inevitable for teachers to receive continuing education and learn new knowledge. As a teacher, only by constantly improving their own quality, mastering new knowledge and adapting to new concepts can they seek new development and have a sense of psychological security.
Teachers constantly accept new knowledge, broaden their horizons, and let themselves stand tall and look far, treat unsatisfactory places with a more peaceful attitude, and experience less anxiety and frustration, which is more meaningful for maintaining their mental health.
Teachers are a tree, and mental health is sunshine. May every primary school teacher have a healthy and positive attitude, so that the flowers of education will be more beautiful and the fruits of education will be more fruitful!
