The author believes that life education is to let people know, appreciate and care for life, and then explore the meaning of life and realize its value. Simply put, life education can be understood from both positive and negative aspects. In a positive sense, cherish your own life, respect the lives of others, care for the lives of animals, and establish a harmonious relationship with others and nature. In a negative sense, self-harm one's body, doing things that endanger others' lives, killing animals, etc.
Second, the main goal of college students' life education
1. Cognitive level. Mainly to strengthen students' understanding of life knowledge and the meaning and value of life. First of all, let college students understand the structure of human body and the characteristics of life, face up to psychological obstacles and adjust their psychological state. Secondly, we should understand the knowledge about life in philosophy and enhance their understanding and deep cognition of life. Thirdly, we should understand the value of life and pursue the lofty realm of life.
2. Attitude level. Mainly to cultivate students' attitude of respecting and cherishing life. The first thing is to cherish your life. Cherishing life is not only a performance of being responsible for yourself, but also a performance of being responsible for family and society. The second is to respect and care about the lives of others. Respect other people's lives and lend a helping hand when their lives are in danger.
3. Skill level. Mainly to let college students learn and master the necessary survival and development skills. The first is to cultivate college students' life self-help and safety prevention skills, which is the premise of life development. The second is to cultivate college students' ability to plan their lives reasonably. This requires students to know themselves objectively and comprehensively, recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and plan their lives in combination with various objective factors such as family background and social environment. Third, cultivate college students' frustration ability and let them learn to face up to themselves and overcome setbacks. Finally, cultivating college students' innovative ability is the need of personal and social development.
Third, the practical path of college students' life education
1. Change college students' concept of life education and strengthen their awareness of life. Colleges and universities should pay more attention to college students' life education, and life education should be implemented to avoid becoming a mere formality. Life education should also keep pace with the times, establish a "people-oriented" educational concept, attach importance to the role of non-intellectual factors of college students, and pay attention to cultivating students' humanistic spirit.
2. Construct life courses with ideological and political theory courses as the main channel. The teaching of ideological and political theory course is the main carrier to educate students to establish a correct outlook on life and values. In fact, the goal of ideological and political theory teaching is to guide students to improve the quality of personal life and enhance the value of life, that is, to guide individuals to gain the meaning of life. The course of ideological and political theory contains rich teaching materials for life education, and teachers should be good at excavating them. In teaching, teachers should convey to students the outlook on life and values that meet the requirements of the times and society. Only under the guidance of correct outlook on life and values can college students produce correct life behaviors.
3. Carry out colorful campus cultural activities and cultivate life emotion in practice. Life education cannot be confined to the classroom. The colorful extracurricular humanistic practice contains huge life education resources. Schools can cultivate students' survival consciousness and life emotion in various practical ways. For example, by organizing outdoor activities, students' personal experience of suffering can be enhanced, so as to cherish their lives more. Campus cultural practice activities give students spiritual shock and personality edification, which is conducive to students to experience and feel the beauty of life and cultivate their understanding of life.
4. With the support of schools, families and society, build a three-dimensional network that cares for life. First of all, school leaders at all levels should set an example, become the main leaders and leaders of life education, and actively take measures to establish a complete life education system and a campus culture full of life feelings. For example, strengthen the construction of teaching staff, improve the teaching management system, establish a scientific life education evaluation mechanism, actively build a crisis intervention management system, encourage relevant teachers to declare life education-related topics, compile life education textbooks, and reasonably set life education class hours. Secondly, parents should pay attention to their children's life feelings, strive to create a harmonious and warm family environment, let children learn to be grateful in love, turn grateful thoughts into grateful behaviors, and repay their parents' upbringing and teachers' teaching through hard work, so as to make their children's life feelings more profound. Thirdly, social education is the continuation of school education and family education, and society can guide college students to establish a scientific outlook on life through correct public opinion. The open education mode of universities makes college students more easily and directly influenced by the social environment. A good social atmosphere of loving life and living actively plays a subtle role in college students' thoughts. Promoting healthy life values through film and television news, newspaper publishing and other media is one of the effective ways to arouse college students' concern about life.
Of course, to improve the effectiveness of life education, it is far from enough to rely solely on the above measures. As college students, they need to improve themselves, actively learn the knowledge about outlook on life, actively participate in practical activities, rationally treat the confusion in life and rationally plan their career. At the same time, schools should give full play to the role of mental health education with the help of class collectives and associations.
Life education: the cornerstone of human education building
Significance of education: Marxism holds that education originates from labor, and the needs of social production and human development are unified in the process of labor. Engels said: "Labor begins with making tools." Education is the dialectical unity of social needs and people's self-development needs.
The essence of education: the essence of education is to maximize human potential, fully display human personality, constantly improve people's status and ultimately improve the quality of life.
The meaning and characteristics of life
(A) the scientific explanation of life:
Life, especially human life, should be composed of three factors, namely physiology (natural attribute), psychology (social attribute) and spirituality (spiritual attribute).
Human life is understood from three levels.
First, the premise and foundation of human life is natural life. Human life is first and foremost a natural existence, such as mountains, rivers and stars.
Second, human life has not only natural attributes, but also social attributes (according to Marx, man is a social person and his essence is "the sum of all social relations"). )
Third, human life is also the unity of natural life and value life. Man's natural existence is the foundation of all human existence, but man's life is not only satisfied with survival, but also needs to pursue a spiritual life higher than natural life.
Life can be divided into natural life, spiritual life, value life and intelligent life. Natural life is the foundation of human life, the material carrier of life and the instinctive way of existence. Spiritual life is the sublimation of human life; Value life is the direction of human life. Natural life, spiritual life, value life and intelligent life are isomorphic, forming a perfect human life.
(B) the characteristics of human life
● Materiality and spirituality of life
* * * Homosexuality and the uniqueness of life
The finiteness and infinity of life
Responsibility for self-protection and life
● Practicality and reflection of life
● Conservatism and creativity of life.
Second, life education and its development
(A) concepts related to life education
Death education, life and death education, safety education, life education.
(B) the scientific connotation of life education
1, foreign "life education"
Enlightenment of foreign life education to China's life education
Independent life education course.
Foreign life education pays attention to offering special life education courses. As far as the current situation of education in China is concerned, "compared with the infiltration life education curriculum, a single life education curriculum can attract people's attention to life education and is more likely to implement the basic connotation of life education." Therefore, although there are many shortcomings in a single life education course, it is still the ideal choice for China to carry out life education at present [3], so it is necessary to set up life education courses independently.
The goal of setting up a life education course independently requires not only knowledge, but also emotion, so that students can truly understand the value of life by learning this course. Therefore, educators should help students establish a correct view of life and death within the framework of the curriculum, combining social hotspots and the laws of physical and mental development of educational objects; Choose content that is consistent with the goal and promote the realization of the goal. At the same time, the content should be constantly developed according to the development of the goal.
