How to maintain national unity (respect other people’s national culture)

In the new era, vigorously strengthening the education work on ethnic unity and progress in schools is an inevitable requirement to achieve good and rapid development of my country's economic and social undertakings and promote the unity, unity and prosperity of all ethnic groups. Dongshan Primary School in Yanji City, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province focuses on the Marxist ethnic view and the ethnic policies of the party and the country, and focuses on building a solid consciousness of the Chinese nation as a united nation. It closely focuses on the three-stage goals, nourishing from the curriculum and edifying through activities. Starting from three channels of cultural and cultural construction, we will deepen the education of national unity and progress and promote the harmonious and healthy development of schools.

Determine educational goals and accurately grasp learning content

Only when the goals are clear can the content and steps be clear. In accordance with the spirit of the "Guidance Outline for National Unity Education in Schools" and combined with the school situation, teachers' situation, and students' situation, the school divides grades one to six into three educational stages: low, middle and high, and determines learning goals respectively. The goal for the lower grades is to understand the nationalities of the teachers and students around them and develop the good qualities of loving the school, loving teachers, and loving classmates. The goals of the middle grade are: to understand the basic profiles of the 56 ethnic groups and to form a basic awareness of ethnic unity. The goal of the senior grade is: to master the common cultural knowledge of the 56 ethnic groups and form a unified understanding of "promoting ethnic unity, safeguarding national unity, and opposing ethnic divisions."

The setting of three-stage goals gives our national unity and progress education work a direction, level, connection, and focus, ensuring that school education is effective and promising, so that the whole process of cultivating the Chinese nation's ideals * The awareness of community and national unity and progress education are truly implemented.

Strengthen curriculum construction and effectively play the role of the main channel in the classroom

The "Guidance Outline for Ethnic Unity Education in Schools" points out that ethnic unity education should be integrated into the teaching and education from primary school to high school. In the whole process of teaching students, it is especially necessary to give full play to the role of the main channel of classroom teaching to ensure teaching time and teaching quality. The school has initially formed a national unity and progress education model of "one lecture, one study, one exposition", which focuses on the following three aspects:

Exploring the elements of national unity and progress education in various disciplines. Guide teachers to fully explore the elements of national unity and progress education contained in teaching materials, consciously find integration points and entry points, and integrate national unity and progress education into the teaching goals of guiding students to establish correct values. For example: During the teaching process of the first-grade mathematics class "Understanding the RMB", the teacher guided the students to discover the five characters on the RMB: Chinese, Tibetan, Uyghur, Zhuang and Mongolian, so that the students knew that our country is a multi-ethnic country. Guide students to understand that there are Han, Korean, Mongolian and other ethnic groups in the school. We study and live together in the only ethnically integrated school in Yanji City. We should respect each other's ethnic customs and habits. Teachers consciously teach students the educational content of ethnic unity, so that students can firmly establish the idea that the Han cannot live without the ethnic minorities, the ethnic minorities cannot live without the Han, and the ethnic minorities cannot live without each other.

Compile school-based teaching materials for national unity and progress education. The school takes the "Four Communists" as its guiding ideology to solidify the consciousness of the Chinese nation's unity, and organizes teachers to focus on developing and writing four school-based textbooks around the three-stage goals set by the school: "The Vast Land of Kyushu" Let students understand that our vast territory was jointly developed by all ethnic groups. "The Long History of China" allows students to understand that the long history was jointly written by all ethnic groups. "Splendid Chinese Culture" allows students to understand the splendid Chinese culture. Culture is created jointly by all ethnic groups. "The Great Chinese Spirit" allows students to understand that the great spirit is jointly cultivated by all ethnic groups. In the ethics and rule of law class, teachers use stories that students love to hear and see as carriers to explain in simple and in-depth ways, guiding students to firmly establish a sense of national unity and one family from an early age.

Strengthen education in the national common spoken and written language. Unswervingly promote the use of national unified textbooks for the three subjects and lay the foundation for students of all ethnic groups to have a "Chinese background". Use the national common spoken and written language to popularize and guide students of all ethnic groups to firmly establish a sense of national unity from an early age and consciously become lovers, builders and defenders of the unity of the Chinese nation.

Through the "one lecture, one study, one explanation" education model, students can "hear, learn, and speak" about national unity and progress education, and truly realize the "incorporation of national unity and progress education into teaching materials, "Into the classroom, into the mind", so that the education of national unity and progress can be implemented and put into practice, and it will bear fruit in the hearts of students.

Carry out theme education activities to enhance the awareness of national unity through practical experience

We start from students’ physical and mental development characteristics and interests and hobbies, and study from three levels: class, grade and school. Designed and carried out 6 series of educational activities on national unity and progress.

Banban’s “ethnic style” activities. In order to enhance students' understanding of the 56 ethnic groups, each class selects ethnic minorities of interest. Students use books, online collection and other methods to learn from aspects of clothing, culture, etiquette, food, customs and other aspects based on ethnic characteristics. By letting students learn ethnic etiquette, making handwritten newspapers, holding theme class and team meetings, and conducting knowledge competitions and other activities, students are guided to learn ethnic knowledge, understand ethnic culture, and cultivate students' qualities of ethnic equality, mutual assistance, and unity.

"Little Teacher's 10-Minute Class" activity. In order to stimulate students' enthusiasm for language learning, the Teaching Office formulates different learning contents based on the actual conditions of Korean students and Han students in grades one to four. Volunteer "little teachers" from grades five to six of the school come every Tuesday and Thursday at noon. Each class carries out learning activities. Korean "little teachers" teach Han students common words and daily expressions, and Han "little teachers" guide Korean students to recite ancient poems and essays in Chinese textbooks. Students achieve the purpose of consciously safeguarding national unity, harmonious coexistence, and common progress while learning and helping each other.

"Hand in hand" pairing activity. Based on the actual situation of the school, we use the "Six Mutual" activities of national unity and progress education as the carrier to carry out pairing activities. Among them, 32 pairs of teachers were paired with each other, 18 pairs were paired with each other in the class, and 669 pairs of students were paired with each other. Teachers of the same subject and grade form teaching pairs to learn from each other's strengths and optimize the teaching methods of this subject. Classes paired up to carry out activities such as the "National Unity Hand in Hand" sorority and the "We Are a Family" themed class meeting. The students deepened understanding, strengthened communication, and established friendships.

"I am a national culture preacher" activity. At noon on the Wednesday of the first week of each month, a minority student is selected as the national culture speaker. He wears his ethnic costume and tells the students about the architecture, songs, dances, language, and customs of his own nation in the ethnic culture lecture area. etc., deepening students’ understanding and respect for the customs of different ethnic groups.

National Culture Week activities. Our school designates the last week of September every year as the School National Culture Week, and carries out related theme activities. The first is the "national style" display activity in each class. According to the "Class "Ethnic Style" Display Activities Schedule" formulated by the school, students freely choose the classes in which they are interested, watch the display of national costumes, taste national food, participate in national games, and experience the national unity in the atmosphere of national unity. The unique charm of each ethnic group. The second is the "National Unity, One Family" art exhibition. In the school calligraphy and painting gallery, art exhibitions mainly in the form of paintings, colored clay, and handicrafts are held. It is used to display the life and customs of ethnic minorities and express the beautiful picture of brothers and sisters of all ethnic groups being as close as one family. The third is to add ethnic minority sports events. Specially set up minority sports events in the autumn sports meeting, including Zhuang people’s “embroidery ball throwing”, Manchu people’s “hoop rolling”, Korean people’s “can walking” and other ethnic minority sports events, so that students can experience different sports while exercising. The joy of national culture.

Red education activities. The school carries out red education activities from multiple angles, aspects and levels, using red culture to lead students to grow up healthily and cultivate students' patriotism. The first is the activity of saluting the national flag. The school has established a "National Flag Guard" and carries out educational activities such as "Role Models Under the National Flag", "Photos Under the National Flag", "Singing Under the National Flag" and "Speeches Under the National Flag" at the national flag-raising ceremony every Monday. The second is the morning singing activity. Teachers and students sing red songs such as "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" and "My Motherland and Me" every morning. The third is to inherit red gene activities. We organized on-site educational activities at the Wangyugou Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument and the Red Base in Wufeng Village, and carried out activities such as "Red Scarf Heart to the Party" and "The Party is in My Heart". The fourth is to carry out festival and commemorative activities. Use major festivals such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, Martyrs’ Day, and the Remembrance Day to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to carry out education on ideals and beliefs. The fifth is to create a red hero squadron. Twelve heroic squadrons were created, including the "Jin Shunji Squadron", "Tong Changrong Squadron" and "Wei Zhengmin Squadron" named after the heroes of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Through the above activities, students can understand the basic knowledge and living habits of various ethnic groups, so that the education of national unity and progress has a solid foothold and support point, so that students understand that the Chinese nation is a A harmonious multi-ethnic family, where people of all ethnic groups breathe the same breath, share their destiny, and are connected heart to heart.

Create a campus culture of national unity and create a rich and colorful national cultural environment

Based on reality, the school strives to give full play to environmental education, cultural education and institutional education in the education of national unity and progress. play an important role and actively build an integrated education work pattern that can be "visible, tangible, and felt" by teachers and students.

First, in the institutional culture, a national unity and progress education leading group was established with the principal as the leader, and national unity education was included in the work scope of each department of the school. Rules and regulations such as "Several Provisions on National Unity and Progress Education" and "Pairing Measures on National Unity and Progress Education" were promulgated. Starting from the aspects of curriculum, activities, culture, etc., and through the four levels of schools, students, parents and society, we deeply carry out and implement national unity and progress education, and create a multi-faceted and three-dimensional national unity and progress education model. Second, in the construction of the school environment, we built the cultural wall of "The Analects of Confucius" and the cultural wall of "Seven Star Boys" on campus, and set up a national culture lecture area, a national knowledge corridor, a red scarf style corridor and a red ethnic group in the teaching building. The Heroes' Corridor, etc., create a strong national cultural atmosphere. Third, in the construction of class culture, combined with the class's "ethnic style" activities, students will collect their own ethnic culture, food, clothing, famous people's deeds, etc., and post them on the class bulletin board to share with everyone. Set up a mobile book corner and replace extracurricular books regularly so that students can feel the colorful national culture in the ocean of books.
