This set of teaching materials has taken into account the physical and mental characteristics and reading psychology of students of different ages and some characteristics of the only child at present. It can be used as a teaching material for students' mental health education courses, and can also be used as extracurricular reading materials in the second classroom. Each class is also divided into several columns, all of which focus on activities and exercises. Through case analysis, specific activities, practice, personal experience and self-adjustment, primary and secondary school students form healthy psychological quality and maintain and promote mental health.
Yu Guoliang, the editor-in-chief of this textbook, is the director, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Educational Psychology Research Office of the National Institute of Educational Sciences, and a member of the Advisory Committee on Mental Health Education in Primary and Secondary Schools of the Ministry of Education. Engaged in mental health education research for many years.
Professor Yu believes that mental health education in primary and secondary schools is subject-oriented, medical-oriented, one-sided, formalized and isolated. Mental health education is different from Chinese and mathematics, and is not a subject. Nor is it the same as ideological and moral education, which is more targeted and effective; At the same time, most children are mentally healthy, which is subjectively required.
In an interview with reporters, he repeatedly stressed that the purpose of mental health education is to cultivate high-quality talents with physical and mental health, innovative spirit and practical ability. This set of teaching materials is written in line with the above guiding ideology.
He also said that the factors that affect children's mental health are not only school education, but also society and family. This set of teaching materials is also for parents. Parents should realize that educating their children should be based on "intellectual factors plus non-intellectual factors", and should not only focus on academic performance and enrollment rate, but ignore children's mental health education. Otherwise, it is very dangerous for teenagers with high pressure, heavy schoolwork and high expectations.
