On Life Education in Colleges and Universities
The understanding of the importance of life education in higher education has been greatly improved, but there are still many problems in the concept, content, methods and approaches of life education. For example, life education is a mere formality, the content of education is lacking, the education method is single and outdated, and the effect of life education is not good. Through this reflection, it is pointed out that life education needs to renew ideas, keep pace with the times, offer courses, create an atmosphere and establish an effective intervention mechanism.
[Keywords:] life education in colleges and universities
The history of life education originated from 1968 in America. Donna. Walter established Anan Village School and began to advocate the concept of life education. Since then, life education activities have developed rapidly around the world. The concept of "life education" * * * Life education * * originated from the life education center established by 1979 in Australia, and its connotation includes three levels: first, to guide students to know life, and then to value and cherish life; The second is to educate students to correctly understand death and cultivate healthy and rational attitude towards death and effective behavior; The third is to explore the meaning of life, enhance respect and care for life, and cultivate a sound personality. Since the origin of mankind, education and life have been closely linked, existing and confirming each other. It can be said that education is a very important form of human life and a need, which makes life more perfect and harmonious. Similarly, life is an important carrier to realize education, and education cannot be separated from life. Life-oriented education is simply the education of "melting into" life and "perfecting" life.
First, the problems in life education
1. Life education is a mere formality.
Looking at the development of life education in China, it is not difficult to find that although the voice of life education is increasing day by day, there are very few schools at all levels that really put life education into action. Research on college students' life education can be seen everywhere in journals and websites. From 2000 to 2006 alone, a total of 326 papers on life education were retrieved. After selecting papers from non-theoretical journals and some academic journals, there are still 146 related articles, of which 59, 29 and 58 were published in national core journals, journals of ordinary universities and general academic journals respectively. However, the development of life education in colleges and universities is almost blank in management and teaching, so that the phenomenon that college students despise or even abuse life is on the rise. Life education in colleges and universities has come and gone in the sound, and it can't find its own home.
2. Lack of educational content.
There are obvious differences in the contents of life education in different countries and regions. Life education in western countries is mainly reflected in the prevention of violence, AIDS and drug abuse. Life education in Taiwan Province Province is mainly devoted to preventing school violence. Chinese mainland's life education mainly focuses on guiding the meaning of life. Undeniably, the education of outlook on life and values is an indispensable part of life education, but if we just stay at this point, life education will fall into the deadlock of preaching and lose its meaning of existence. The object of life education is man, who is a special and complicated life, and the things he faces are complicated. Simple life meaning education can't meet the needs of school life education. The content of life education should be diversified, not only reflected in the outlook on life, but also given preventive guidance in dealing with life events, so that students can learn to safeguard their lives in the face of emergencies.
3. The way of education is single and outdated.
The quality of educational methods directly affects the effect of education. There are many forms of life, the world life faces is colorful, and the threats it faces are also different. Therefore, the form of life education must not stay in a single mode. The form of life education in China is mainly didactic, which is simple and easy for educators. It can be said that teaching can face dozens or even hundreds of students at a time. At the same time, we also clearly realize that the effect of this kind of education is also the worst. In 2002, 27 college students committed suicide; In 2004, there were 68 cases; In 2005 it was116; In 2006, there were 130 cases, and suicide has become the second leading cause of death of college students in China after accidental injury.
Second, the new exploration of effective ways of life education
1. Life education should keep pace with the times.
Life education should keep pace with the times and face everything. Every time life education is mentioned in colleges and universities, people always focus on college students and ignore management and teachers. It is true that college students are the main body of higher education and the main object of life education, but if educators lack the concept of life education, where does the correct concept of life education come from? Therefore, it is the need of the development of the times to establish a new concept of "whole person" education. "All staff" means that managers, teachers, students and logistics personnel should establish the consciousness of life education. Establishing the concept of life education is a necessary condition for developing life education.
2. Life education in colleges and universities is closely linked with social and cultural construction.
Good environmental atmosphere is a hidden course to implement life education. Colleges and universities are an integral part of society, and the atmosphere of life education should be extended to the whole society, not just inside the campus, but in the community and even the whole society. Only by strengthening life education in the social environment and making more and more people realize the importance of life can we provide a good environmental background for life education in colleges and universities. The rapid development of Internet and media in modern society has brought shocks and challenges to life education. Internet and media bring convenience to people, but also do harm to people's body and mind. Violence, pornography and murder corrode students' psychology and affect the formation of outlook on life. Therefore, life education in colleges and universities must be closely linked with social and cultural construction, so that students can grow up healthily in a good atmosphere.
3. The combination of offering life education courses and infiltrating life education in various disciplines.
At present, the present situation of life education in colleges and universities is: there are more general advocacy and preaching, but less implementation in classroom teaching; Too many forms, but less practice; Few people really turn the concept of life education into a guide for college students. To change this situation, the effective way to implement life education is to set up life education courses in colleges and universities and infiltrate life education into the teaching of various subjects. Incorporate life education courses into the teaching plan of colleges and universities, set subjects, stipulate class hours, compile teaching materials and equip teachers to ensure the systematic development of life education. The concept of life education appears in higher education in the form of curriculum, which is helpful to realize the educational effect. Carrying out and infiltrating life education in university courses will stimulate college students' life consciousness, enhance their sense of life responsibility and enhance the value of self-existence.
4. Life education should meet the needs of practice.
Life education without going into life is a metaphysical theory on paper. Life education that is not based on practice is difficult to penetrate into the hearts of college students, let alone the effectiveness of life education that has not been tested by practice. Through practical activities, let the educated integrate into it, understand the true meaning of life, sublimate their understanding of life and enhance their value. Colleges and universities should encourage college students to participate in social ceremonies, organize interest groups and participate in voluntary service. Only in practice can life education truly take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit. While paying attention to the healthy growth of college students, life education in colleges and universities should solve the existing problems in time. At present, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of social pressure, many college students often feel that their future is bleak, and anxiety and pessimism emerge as the times require. According to the survey report on the quality of life of college students released by the Youth Development Research Center of Hebei University, the answer is "What is your belief?" 66. 1% people chose pragmatism, * * * productism * *13.3% * * and hedonism * *. After being frustrated, some college students have developed the psychology of revenge against others and society, and made the wrong behavior of hurting lives and retaliating against society. Colleges and universities should establish psychological intervention centers and early warning mechanisms to deal with problems among students in time.
In short, life education that does not enter life is metaphysical, life education that is not based on practice is difficult to be recognized by people, and life education that has not been tested by practice is imperfect. Only by integrating the ideas and concepts of life education into all aspects of concrete practice can it be more conducive to the realization of educational effects and thus achieve our educational goals.
