How to get moral education in primary and secondary schools out of the valley of confusion and actively adapt to the new situation of reform and opening up? With this question, I made a serious investigation in some schools.

First, the main problems of moral education in primary and secondary schools

1 doesn't care about politics. Among more than 400 primary and middle school students surveyed, 85% are unwilling to listen to news broadcast, watch TV news programs and newspaper press releases, and take political lessons. 58% middle school students don't want to be class cadres. 40% middle school students are unwilling to participate in school activities. 90% of students only care about academic performance. 72% middle school students want to be entrepreneurs and earn a lot of money when they grow up.

2, the teacher's morality is unqualified. Among the more than 300 teachers surveyed, 8 1% are satisfied with the present situation and have no initiative. Most rural teachers are unwilling to be class teachers. More than 90% subject teachers only teach but not educate people; 80% teachers want to take a second job; 60% teachers want to "dance badly"; 80% teachers criticize students for being rude, simple and impatient.

3. Students don't have lofty ideals. Some students never consider their own future, have no clear learning purpose and motivation, and have poor self-discipline ability. They are obsessed with romance, martial arts novels and playing poker, games and mahjong.

4. Students are unwilling to take part in public welfare work. Many students don't want to take part in the public welfare work organized by the school. They are afraid of hardship, fatigue and dirt. Some ask for leave, some ask their parents to do it for them, and some pay people to do it for them.

5. Lack of spirit of helping others. Few students help each other and learn from each other, and few people do good deeds. Some schools have not established a register of good deeds. When others encounter difficulties, many students stand by and gloat.

6. The problem of students' consumption is outstanding. According to the survey, 78% of middle school students give pocket money at home, of which 80% are used to buy snacks and have fun, and 98% of senior primary school students have pocket money, of which 99% are used to buy snacks and have fun. Most students pay attention to food and clothing and want to compare with each other.

7. The school spirit is not correct. Some schools only focus on teaching, regardless of educating people. Students' test scores are published in the list, and the evaluation of "three good students" and scholarships is based on academic performance. The school lacks vitality and vitality, and it is lifeless all day. Music, physical education, beauty, labor and other courses are nominal and often replaced by main courses; Entertainment activities are rarely carried out, and even if they are carried out, they are in name only and become a mere formality.

Second, the main reasons for the above problems

1, lack of understanding of moral education. Due to the mistakes of guiding ideology in the past, most educators have insufficient understanding of the importance of moral education, no sense of historical responsibility and lack of enthusiasm for work. They mistakenly believe that: ① Moral education is a kind of retreat and superficial preaching, which plays little role in the overall work of the school and is dispensable. Under the background of market economy, as long as we grasp the economy, we can make our life rich and comfortable. School leaders and teachers believe that only by improving the quality of teaching and testing more students can the school be recognized by the society and parents, the school will run well and the teachers will teach well.

2. Teachers' moral quality is low. According to the survey, some teachers' methods of educating students are old and simple, and they don't demand much from themselves. They lead by example, but they are very passive in their work. Even some teachers ask parents for gifts, use students to enter through the back door, pull relationships or engage in other bad behaviors, and their life style is chaotic, and they have not established a good image among students.

3. The social interest mechanism is not perfect. (1) Grasp the teaching work, you can see the actual effect, get rewards, and get praise from public opinion; Moral education needs a lot of work, which has no obvious effect and no benefit. ② The promotion and appointment of leading cadres are divorced from the achievements of moral education. Therefore, many leading cadres pay lip service to moral education and are unwilling to pay attention to it. (3) Professional title evaluation, salary promotion, model worker evaluation, enrollment, recruitment and other matters involving personal interests have nothing to do with moral performance. In this way, the value of moral education is difficult to reflect.

4. One-sided pursuit of the influence of enrollment rate. The wrong direction of public opinion and policy leads to the deviation between the purpose of running a school and moral education. ① Admission of college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination is based on students' test scores, which leads to the school attaching importance to teaching and neglecting quality education. (2) The general examinations of primary and secondary schools at all levels are announced according to the scores, with clear rewards and punishments, so that teachers pay more attention to grasping students' test scores. The education authorities and some leaders have not established a scientific evaluation system, and regard the number of students entering higher education as the standard to measure the quality of running a school. Some parents are eager for their children to succeed. When their children come home, they are most concerned about the exam results. Praise for good grades, scold or even punish for poor grades.

5, the influence of bad social atmosphere. In recent years, some corrupt phenomena and bad practices have flooded the society, such as eating and drinking with public funds, bribery, etc., which spread to schools like a wave of pollution, and faculty members have to accept treatment and bargain. Moreover, the long-standing upside-down phenomenon in China has resulted in such malformations as making money by setting up stalls and singing and dancing. The faculty wants to abandon teaching and do business, and the students want to drop out of school and work. Family education is even worse: educating children to focus on money and power, coupled with rude and simple doting and criticism ... this greatly weakens the effectiveness of school education.

Third, suggestions and countermeasures to strengthen moral education in primary and secondary schools

1, to further strengthen the understanding of the importance of moral education. Society, families and schools have not paid enough attention to the important position of moral education. Party organizations at all levels and education administrative departments should pay close attention to public opinion propaganda, ideological education and study and discussion, so that everyone can truly realize that only by putting moral education in an important position can we ensure the direction of running a school, correct our school thinking and make the next generation grow up healthily, which is a major event related to the future and destiny of the country. Power departments take effective measures from the aspects of policy orientation, system improvement, inspection and assessment, cash rewards and punishments, etc., to strengthen people's awareness of educating people. In addition, we must do a good job in building a clean government, correct unhealthy practices in the industry, and optimize the social education environment.

2. Establish moral education institutions and strengthen the construction of moral education teams. City, district (county) education administrative departments should set up a political science department (room). Schools should improve the Party, political and educational organizations, Communist Youth League organizations, trade unions, student unions, Young Pioneers and other organizations. It is necessary to establish a "parent school", make full use of the children's palace, cultural palace, library, exhibition hall, school history room, martyrs memorial hall and other positions, and strengthen moral education for young people. All districts (counties) and schools should train and select a group of comrades with high theoretical quality, strong organizational ability, love moral education and good professional ethics to take up political and educational work, and provide them with a good working environment.

3. Moral education needs to establish an interest mechanism. (1) assessment, appointment and promotion of leading cadres, professional title evaluation, salary promotion and exemplary reward evaluation of teaching and administrative staff. Moral education performance and moral education assessment level should be regarded as one of the important evaluation conditions. (2) political work titles should be evaluated separately. The workload of moral education should be equal to that of teaching, and the allowance of political workers should be appropriately increased to create good material conditions for their work. The implementation of individual recognition and reward for outstanding political workers. ③ Students entering higher education, especially college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination, should not only take the test results as the standard, but also take the students' moral assessment results as an important content. (4) Miyoshi students and outstanding student cadres in each study period should enjoy different degrees of preferential treatment when entering higher schools, such as adding 5-20 points.

4. Do a good job in moral education. First, play the role of the main channel of teaching and infiltrate moral education in the teaching of various subjects. Teachers in all subjects should prepare lessons according to the requirements of the syllabus and the moral education syllabus on the basis of full class hours, fully tap the moral education factors in the teaching materials, and achieve organic and effective infiltration according to the actual situation. Second, we should infiltrate moral education into various activities inside and outside the school. By studying English models, giving lectures, listening to reports, participating in social practice and other activities, the school educates students to have good ideological quality, psychological quality and correct outlook on life and world. At the same time, it is necessary to establish various interest activity groups, so that students can cultivate their sentiments in colorful activities purposefully, planned, organized and effectively. Thirdly, moral education should be infiltrated by creating a beautiful campus environment. Schools should purify, green, harden and beautify the campus and give students beautiful enjoyment everywhere. At the same time, through the construction of cultural corridors, reading newspaper columns, running blackboard newspapers and wall newspapers, posting famous paintings and slogans, students are subtly educated.

5, efforts to strengthen the education of teachers' morality. As a teacher, we should not only have good professional quality and cultural quality, but also have good moral quality. First of all, we should have good moral cultivation, noble moral quality and noble moral sentiment. Teachers should play an exemplary role in learning. Do the right thing, do the right thing, and try to regulate your words and deeds. Educational administrative units and schools at all levels should strengthen teachers' professional ethics education, carry out teachers' professional ethics training in a planned way, and implement the training work item by item, with assessment, records, rewards and punishments. Gradually establish an evaluation system of "teaching and educating people" for class teachers and subject teachers, and take the evaluation results as an important basis for their promotion, appointment and evaluation.

6. Establish a trinity education network of school, family and society. Parents are the first teachers of the children. They should not only care about their children's life and study, but also care about their ideological quality and healthy psychology. They should always observe and master their own activities and performances, find problems and correct them in time. Teachers inform parents of each student's ideological problems through home visits, symposiums and other forms, and regularly convene parents to hold symposiums to jointly study how to educate students. Schools can also regularly organize parents to learn some knowledge about primary and secondary education and improve their quality. It is necessary to guide students to contact and understand society, support students to participate in social practice activities, and provide them with necessary learning conditions and labor education places. In particular, it is necessary to guide students to grasp hot issues, discuss and analyze them, and help them learn to observe society in an all-round way and distinguish right from wrong at an early age. In rural areas, streets or service areas, a "social education coordination group" or a regional education committee should be established with the participation of public security, justice, women's federations, trade unions, youth league committees, street cadres and retired celebrities to undertake the coordination of students, parents and schools in the region and the ideological education of teenagers, and create a civilized, healthy and positive educational atmosphere.

7. Improve the quantitative evaluation system of moral education. It is necessary to formulate the "Measures for Percent Assessment of Moral Education in Primary and Secondary Schools", gradually improve the quantitative assessment management system, and incorporate moral education into the overall work of the school. Schools should take the Outline of Moral Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, the Code of Conduct for Primary and Secondary School Students and the Code of Daily Conduct as the contents, specifically decompose moral education indicators, formulate detailed rules or methods for moral education evaluation of primary and secondary school students such as the Manual of Moral Education Evaluation, and implement a hundred-point assessment system. The assessment results will be loaded into students' files as an important basis for moral evaluation of graduation and further education. In addition, it is necessary to do a good job in conduct evaluation, and the comments should be objective and detailed, so as not to cope with congestion. Students' moral performance and moral evaluation should be linked to students' graduation and further education. Those who fail to pass the examination twice in a row will not be issued with graduation certificates.
