What should schools do?
Advocate "teaching by sex"
The state puts forward the requirement of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" in the medium and long term, and develops students' potential according to the different characteristics of students of different ages and sexes. "Gender-specific teaching" has not been paid attention to in current school education, such as ignoring students' physical education. On the basis of understanding students' physical and mental development, organize boys to participate in various competitive game activities, such as running and tug-of-war, so that boys can have the opportunity to show their proud male strength and charm, which is conducive to improving boys' affirmation of their own gender roles and behaviors and cultivating boys' "sense of gender honor".
Advocate gender mental health education
Androgyny is the main trend of gender education in the future, and related research shows that androgyny is an ideal gender role type and mental health model. Androgyny is mainly reflected in several aspects, such as strong social adaptability, positive personality traits and high sense of self-worth. The differences between men and women make the displayed personality characteristics have certain differences. To show the excellent qualities of different genders, we should not only accept the masculine qualities from boys, but also learn the excellent qualities of carefulness, hygiene and caring from girls, which is the androgyny advocated by society.
Carry out gender role identity education
In China's education system, sex education is quite scarce. Many researchers have indicated that it is necessary to promote proper gender role identification education, form a certain educational synergy, and promote the unification of students' social roles and gender roles. For example, the school carries out corresponding gender role classroom activities, and gradually permeates gender role education in the teaching of various subjects.
Design and organize heterosexual cooperation activities
Peer groups are conducive to the establishment of roles, and the communication between the opposite sex can make boys better understand the differences between different sexes and accurately find the gender role orientation that meets social expectations and concepts. At the same time, we should encourage the exchange of role games. Under the effective guidance of teachers, absorb the advantages of girls' personality characteristics, learn communication skills with the opposite sex, and enrich their personality characteristics and emotional experience. At the same time, it also encourages games and activities between the same sex, enhances the awareness of competition and unity and cooperation, and constantly enhances masculinity!
Implement an evaluation model conducive to the diversified development of male identity
According to the different personality characteristics of male and female students, different reward and punishment measures and evaluation criteria are formulated and diversified evaluation criteria are adopted. Especially for boys, we can't use the standard of obedient girls, otherwise it will aggravate the tendency of feminization of boys. According to the personality characteristics of boys, an evaluation model suitable for boys is established to objectively evaluate the growth and development of primary school students.
How to do family education?
Establishment of Father's Role Model
Father plays an indispensable role in the growth of boys. In view of the feminization of boys, fathers play a more important role, requiring fathers to be masculine, responsible and have a wide range of interests. Take time out to get along with children as much as possible. Simple game activities will greatly promote the establishment of children's social roles. Play more challenging games, encourage children to bravely complete the education that is conducive to the development of gender roles. For example, playing badminton, basketball, climbing mountains, building games with building blocks and learning guidance. A healthy and harmonious father-son relationship plays a very important role in the development of primary school students' masculinity.
Create a favorable environment for boys' gender role identification
From the aspect of family environment layout, parents should pay attention to children's differences and create an environmental atmosphere conducive to the development of primary school students' gender roles. When choosing daily necessities, toys and clothes, parents should fully consider the gender characteristics and age development characteristics of primary school students and attach importance to the psychological hints of the environment to children. Boys' rooms don't need a lot of pink to decorate. Consciously penetrate and transmit different information such as "masculinity" and "femininity" to children through people or things around them, and promote the identification and development of primary school students' gender roles.
Create a harmonious gender culture atmosphere
To create a harmonious gender culture atmosphere from the family, it is mainly that mothers should not always do housework, take care of children, buy food and so on. Fathers should always be involved, and housework is not a woman's obligation, but an obligation and responsibility shared by both men and women. Creating a harmonious gender culture atmosphere is conducive to promoting the identification and healthy development of primary school students' gender roles. Especially in the interaction between primary school students and others of the same sex or the opposite sex, we should establish the understanding of gender equality, learn to communicate equally between the two sexes, form a correct and healthy role identity, and lay a solid foundation for primary school students to shape sound personality characteristics.
The proportion of public opinion and resources should be responsible.
Strengthening the social education mission of the media
As an effective way to spread information, the media should shoulder the responsibility and obligation to promote the physical and mental health of teenagers. The media should encourage the broadcast of films and television works full of masculinity and lofty sentiments such as Wolf Warriors and Operation of the Sword of the Red Sea, so as to cultivate students' patriotism and sense of responsibility. Advocate to watch educational variety shows such as Super Brain and Chinese Poetry Conference, so as to stimulate students' learning enthusiasm, carry forward and inherit China traditional culture, set an example of positive education, and pursue real personality charm. Because primary school students' discrimination ability is weak and their behaviors are highly stereotyped, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Weibo, the media and other institutions should strengthen media censorship and prohibit the dissemination of audio pictures that have a negative impact on the development of teenagers' gender role identity.
3.2 Increase the input of male teachers in basic education.
School is an important place for children to live and study, and children are in a critical period of gender role cognition. A certain number of male teachers should provide essential role models for children. In order to increase the proportion of male teachers in schools, the national education policy has given a certain tilt, increased investment in education, and improved the welfare and social status of teachers. At the same time, it provides effective guidance for the choice of majors in high school and encourages boys to apply for the major of normal education. Normal colleges and universities improve the enrollment rate of male students. Teachers are recruited in the basic education stage, and men are given priority under the same ability.
The effective solution to the phenomenon of boys' feminization cannot be achieved overnight, and various educational forces are needed to form a certain educational synergy to promote the identification and healthy development of students' gender roles.
