Paying attention to students' psychological feelings and inner experiences is the core of psychological activity class.
Teachers should guide students to tell their own personal experiences and inner emotional experiences and share them with other students. This requires mental health teachers to have corresponding abilities. Such as affinity with students' psychological compatibility; Have a language similar to that of students; Have keen insight and profound problem analysis ability; Have the ability to control the whole classroom; Have the professional theory and operational skills of school psychological counseling, such as communication skills such as attention and listening. Make use of appropriate opportunities to enhance students' psychological feelings and inner experiences.
2. The design of psychological activity class conforms to the characteristics of students' physical and mental development and psychological principles.
First, to understand the reality of students, the psychological problems of students of different ages are different. Second, most students face the same problem. We should internalize the relevant theories of psychology into teaching behavior.
3. Auxiliary tools for psychological activity classes
Many psychological teachers struggling in the front line of mental health education will encounter such problems, because the Ministry of Education stipulates that except for teachers' reference books, they cannot be printed and published, and students cannot be required to purchase textbooks in a unified way. At the same time, due to the relatively backward development of psychology and mental health education in China, related mental health teaching plans, courseware and materials are very scarce. It is not only the lack of teaching plans, but also the lack of all the materials related to mental health classes. Some teachers will spend a lot of energy and time even if they can collect the materials they need. Moreover, the mental health lesson plans collected in this way have fatal shortcomings, that is, they are not systematic, targeted, do not conform to the actual situation, and cannot evaluate their real effects.
Many people need to face up to mental health education and the work of mental health teachers. Mental health class is not a simple moral education class, activity class or subject class, but a very important comprehensive education project. At present, the relevant psychological equipment supply institutions have developed a systematic and phased teaching plan toolbox for mental health courses, which is equipped with teaching plans, teaching AIDS, teaching courseware and evaluation software for different grades and different themes. Teaching can be carried out systematically and pertinently, and the effect after class can be evaluated without buying relevant teaching AIDS piecemeal, searching for materials and piecing together teaching plans.
4. Three principles
(1) Activity principle: The psychological activity class focuses on students' activities, and students mainly get direct experience. The traditional subject teaching is mainly taught by teachers, and students mainly gain indirect experience. The main purpose of psychological activity class is not to impart psychological knowledge, but to pay attention to process and method, emotional attitude and values. It is necessary to create a relaxing buffer for students, so that students can re-examine themselves, know themselves and accept themselves, and lay a foundation for their healthy development. To achieve this goal, teachers must design appropriate activities according to the characteristics of students' psychological development and the theme of activities, so that students can gain experience and feelings in participating in activities, thus changing their cognition and behavior and establishing good psychological quality.
(2) Principle of equality: Students in psychological activity classes are the main body of learning, and teachers are the organizers, leaders, participants and promoters of students' learning. In subject teaching, teachers are the authority of knowledge, while students are in a relatively passive position. Psychological activity class requires teachers to put down the shelf of "dignity as a teacher" and establish a new type of teacher-student relationship of "equality, respect and friendship".
(3) Participation principle: The degree of students' participation is an important measure to measure the effect of a psychological activity class. Students' psychological feelings and inner experiences are the core of psychological activity classes, and students' feelings and experiences must be obtained by participating in activities. It goes without saying that the higher the participation, the richer the students' feelings and experiences, and the better the effect of the activities.
