First, ecological civilization education.
1. Overview of ecological civilization education
Ecological civilization embodies people's yearning for a free and happy life and the achievements made in this process, and embodies human's cognition of the harmonious development of man, nature and society. It has three forms: objective materialization form, cultural ethics form and social form, including system civilization, ecological civilization and quality civilization. Building ecological civilization is a correct decision to adapt to China's national conditions and social development. As a long-term systematic project, ecological civilization education is an effective means to cultivate ecological civilization literacy on the premise of respecting and protecting nature, improving people's awareness and quality of ecological civilization, and emphasizing the peaceful coexistence and mutual promotion between man and nature. In the process of ecological civilization education, educators should improve people's awareness and quality of ecological civilization through systematic guidance, improve people's consciousness of observing the laws of natural ecosystem and social ecosystem through careful analysis and explanation, improve and coordinate the relationship between man and nature through making plans and careful organization, and promote the all-round development of educated people.
2. The characteristics of ecological civilization education
(1) comprehensiveness. The education of ecological civilization is accomplished through multi-disciplinary cooperation, which can be understood from its main contents. Ecological civilization education includes not only the harmony between man and nature, but also the harmony between man and man and man's psychology. (2) Diversity. Ecological civilization education should be combined with the current ecological situation, carried out according to local conditions, and the profundity and effectiveness of education should be realized through targeted practical activities. (3) Sociality. Ecological civilization education is closely related to the life of the whole people, and it can only be realized through the active participation of the whole people. All fields of society should pay enough attention to the education of ecological civilization. (4) global. The ecological environment is related to all countries and regions in the world, and the environmental problems of a certain country may have an impact on the ecological environment of the whole earth, especially the environmental problems with strong diffusion such as gas emission.
Second, the development status and problems of ecological civilization education in middle schools
Middle school students are in an important stage of student development, so it is very important to cultivate their ecological civilization quality. However, the research on ecological civilization education in China started late and paid little attention to it, which led to many problems in the implementation of ecological civilization education at present.
1. Current situation of ecological civilization education
China's ecological education has been neglected for a long time, which makes China have no clear requirements for the education of ecological civilization, resulting in students' low awareness of ecological civilization. The present situation of ecological civilization education is mainly reflected in: (1) Ecological education is a mere formality. Nowadays, with the increasing emphasis on the construction of ecological civilization, many schools have carried out a series of ecological civilization education activities. However, when some schools carry out ecological civilization education, the educational methods are often formal and impromptu, and there is no long-term educational plan. The teaching methods are also arbitrary, which has many shortcomings, and it has great limitations because it is divorced from reality and students' psychological needs. (2) Lack of effective communication among family, school and society. The school lacks effective communication with the outside world in the process of ecological civilization education, which leads to students' lack of practical experience and difficulty in getting family support, thus there are many obstacles in the education process. (3) Ecological education is not deep enough. At present, ecological education is mostly realized through natural science curriculum education. Students lack of independent research and understanding of ecological civilization education, unable to apply theory to practice, and difficult to improve their awareness of ecological civilization. (4) Ecological civilization education is not targeted. Ecological education should be combined with the local actual situation, and once it is divorced from reality, it is difficult to realize its significance. However, in current education, there is a lack of public awareness of ecological education.
2. The performance of middle school students' awareness of ecological civilization
After reading a large number of related books and papers and communicating with middle school students, the author found that middle school students have a certain awareness of ecological civilization. This is manifested in the emergence of ecological anxiety consciousness, strong ecological curiosity and enhanced ecological perception ability. In a certain sense, the enhancement of ecological awareness is an important aspect of promoting the improvement of ecological quality. Therefore, when educating middle school students on ecological civilization, we should pay attention to cater to students' psychology and improve their ecological civilization quality through appropriate guidance and practical research.
Third, summary.
Middle school students are the pillars of the future construction of the motherland, so it is very necessary to educate them on ecological civilization. Through the correct guidance of teachers, it is of great significance to understand students' psychological needs, carry out certain practical activities and combine local basic conditions to improve students' awareness and quality of ecological civilization, which is also a very important aspect of China's economic construction. Schools should establish a good learning environment and strive to improve the level of ecological civilization construction of middle school students.
