The importance of moral education for society
The moral situation of many families and society as a whole leaves much to be desired. The characteristic reasons for this situation include the lack of constant cultural and leisure work, the healthy physical training of young people is being replaced by the pseudoscience of safe sex, there is no patriotic education at school, and state policy is likely to destroy the valuable pedagogical experience accumulated over decades.
The processes are intensified by a powerful stream of propaganda of violence, debauchery, and alcohol, with the complete absence of government and law enforcement agencies of effective methods to change the situation.
In the modern education system, extremely little attention is paid to spiritual and moral development. The salvation for the country should be the restoration of scientific, artistic, traditional religious culture. Harmony and beauty, built on Orthodox Christian principles, are the main lever in overcoming the crisis in education, culture, and the inner world of a person.
The main criteria for judging the moral education of children can be:
- pride in one's homeland;
- the ability to be useful and serve oneself;
- desire for good relationships, love of reading, work;
- the ability to choose friends and not let loved ones down;
- a critical attitude towards one's shortcomings;
- the desire to preserve social values and native nature;
- assistance to loved ones, comrades, disabled people;
- creative attitude to study and independent work, participation in social events.
Activities for spiritual and moral education in elementary school
It is better to divide the activities into subgroups:
Cognition
This includes various intellectual games and work on filling out rating tables. Children need conversations aimed at stimulating interest in learning on the following topics: “What is not written in the textbook,” “Outstanding women scientists,” “About people of science.”
The main thing is not to put pressure on children, but to develop in them an interest in learning and a desire to develop.
Value guidelines
Boring classroom hours and dry conversations will not be able to provide proper patriotic education and will not teach the basics of etiquette. Virtual travel and online games are much more interesting and educational.
It is useful for children to hear true stories about patriotic deeds from veterans. The rules of etiquette are reinforced under the control of the class teacher during lunch, extracurricular activities with access to the city or nature.
Necessity of labor
Awareness of the importance of work is instilled in children during short shifts, general cleaning of the classroom, and school grounds. Additional help will include classes on the topic of vocation, choosing a future profession, visiting a local factory, organizing a school fair.
Public benefit
This group of conversations and activities aims to help every student realize that he should be useful to someone in real life. This could be patronage of younger schoolchildren, a rabbit, a kitten. With their class teacher, children visit shelters, orphanages, and hospitals.
Entertaining children, telling them a fairy tale, helping a sick person with lunch - these activities not only cultivate compassion, but become a decisive factor in choosing a future profession.
Creative activities
Trips to their native land, places of battle, themed evenings on the theme of the arrival of autumn, Maslenitsa, fashion shows, meetings with poets and composers develop students’ interest in creative pursuits.
Future creators will gain self-confidence from the genuine interest of others in their creations. It is important for a child to express admiration; excessive criticism or ignorance destroys the desire to draw or perform in a drama club.
Health promotion
Regular sports competitions and classes on the rules of maintaining health are a useful endeavor. To make it interesting for children to take part in games, trips to health camps, and hikes, props and posters are carefully prepared for them, and comparative diagnostics of health indicators “before” and “after” are carried out.
The free time of younger schoolchildren can be devoted to classes in thematic clubs and sports sections. For unobtrusive control, teachers can use a survey or discussion method. Only here it is important that such a “conversation” does not turn into a teacher’s monologue or a conversation exclusively among children.
The role of the school and the teacher’s personality in spiritual and moral education
Today's children are very different from schoolchildren who were even 10 years ago. They are more knowledgeable, self-confident, more often inclined to overestimate their awareness, neglect authorities and other people's opinions, they are characterized by superficial feelings and reluctance to think. Very often, nationality and citizenship mean little for primary school students; the importance of school life and education also lose importance. Literary heroes, famous compatriots, and teachers cease to be moral models.
Thoughts about a future profession have little to do with selfless service to others, life orientations are mercantile, children’s consciousness is directed towards personal interests, singers, football players, bankers, and action movie heroes become their idols.
Properly organized school life actively counters the examples of immoral and destructive behavior that capture children's consciousness through computer games and television shows.
Within the walls of the school, a cultural space is modeled where traditional moral principles are an absolute priority. But the values of high culture are perceived by the child only through his own activities.
?
A lesson is not something individual, but a place of collective experiences and actions, where children accumulate moral experience, they learn to work independently, listen, compare, defend opinions, and help others.
For younger schoolchildren, the teacher is in many ways a role model in manners and attitude towards children. If warmth and responsiveness reign in the class, and the teacher cares about his students, then the relationships between classmates become the same. Elders, as in the family, should pay attention not only to children’s success in reading and mathematics, but also to their spiritual and moral development; upbringing and the learning process in primary school are inextricably linked .
