Talking about health

With the increasing attention paid by the state to the national mental health, the majority of primary and secondary schools and universities have also actively responded to the call of the state and promoted the implementation of mental health education. Mental health course has become one of the most important and commonly used forms of mental health education in schools because of its interactivity, directness and efficiency. Because of this, the research of mental health curriculum has also become a compulsory course for psychology teachers. In view of how to give students a vivid, interesting and meaningful psychological lesson, this paper puts forward three practical suggestions, hoping to help teachers carry out mental health education.

First, a good mental health class, curriculum design needs to be considered.

For students, psychology class should be a scene where they can freely explore their minds and relax, which requires psychological teachers to carefully consider the theme selection and process design of mental health class. The theme should be clear and meaningful, and meet the psychological development needs of students of the current age. In the choice of topics, we should avoid two or more topics in an activity class; Avoid choosing topics that students are not easy to disclose publicly or involve students' privacy; Avoid the topic is too big, the goal is too empty, resulting in the lack of depth and penetration of the theme.

Second, the curriculum principles that should be grasped in a good mental health class.

The course of mental health aims at solving problems in students' growth, organizing activities according to students' psychological needs and age characteristics, focusing on students' activities, paying attention to students' psychological feelings and inner experiences, taking students' psychological development and growth as the destination, and taking students' learning as the purpose of helping themselves and others. Psychological teachers should grasp the following three principles when presiding over psychological classes:

1. Activity principle

Different from traditional subject teaching, mental health class pays attention to students' activities. The main purpose of psychological activity class is not to impart psychological knowledge, but the process and method of class, so that the psychological teacher's emotional attitude and values can be conveyed to every student in the class. It is necessary to create a relaxed buffer for students, where students can re-examine themselves, know themselves and accept themselves, so as to lay the foundation for their healthy development.

2. The principle of equality

In mental health class, teachers should not think and solve problems for students, but should follow the principle of helping others and helping themselves, and guide and help students to tap their own potential. Compared with teachers, students are more similar, psychologically connected, easier to communicate, accept and produce * * * sounds, and have greater influence. Therefore, teachers should be good at using self-help to help others, so as to fully mobilize students' consciousness, initiative and enthusiasm, and thus improve the level of mental health.

3. The principle of participation

One of the important indicators to evaluate the teaching effect of mental health class is the participation of students in 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. In psychology class, the higher the students' participation, the richer their feelings and experiences, and the better the activity effect.

Third, give a good mental health class, and the course form should be rich.

As a new form of campus classroom, mental health class can help students get rid of heavy schoolwork and relieve stress temporarily, which is very attractive in itself. In addition, mental health courses have advantages that other subjects do not have. Classroom can carry out mental health education through rich forms, so as to achieve better teaching effect. You can refer to the following five forms of mental health classes:

1. Competition

Game form is often the most popular form of mental health class. Students can learn about it through interesting group games. This form is lively, students actively participate, and it is easy to get results, especially suitable for students in the lower grades of primary schools.

2. Role-playing

The form of role-playing helps students learn to put themselves in their own shoes, enhance their emotional ability and sensitivity, and promote mutual understanding and communication with others.

3. Questionnaire survey

Using professional psychological evaluation scale can collect students' psychological state data, strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of psychological activity classes, and understand students' real state, thoughts or feedback.

discuss a problem

Problem discussion is the most basic form of psychological activity class. Through group discussion, we can achieve the goal of mutual acceptance, mutual tolerance, emotional interaction and self-help.

Step 5 debate

In the debate, students can fully express their views, and their hobbies and tendencies can also be revealed. Debate can transform external cognitive preaching into self-cognition, which is more suitable for senior students.

Mental health class is not only an important carrier of mental health education, but also an important way for psychological teachers to communicate with students. A good mental health class is not only to complete the work of a psychological teacher, but also an important step in the development of mental health education.

Thanks to the hard work of psychological teachers, we will work with you to protect children's health.
