Lack of gratitude is not divided into arts and sciences, disrespectful parents should not only focus on science students

Dare to speak, dare to do, this is the National People's Congress, Guizhou University president Qiang in the public view of the impression. He was interviewed by reporters and the language of astonishing: "I found that many science and engineering students have no emotion, even filial piety parents feelings are not, it is very scary." The return to normal education is to make people return to human beings. "(Qianjiang Evening News, March 7)

There are indeed many college students lack of gratitude, so many universities are carrying out Thanksgiving education. However, there is no data show that only science and engineering students have no emotion, and liberal arts students have feelings. Science and engineering students do not have feelings to say things, it will certainly arouse more attention, but to solve the problem is not beneficial to the science and engineering students to carry out the relevant education, and liberal arts students do not need it?

In the author's opinion, the students in our country, whether they are students of science and technology, or liberal arts students, are lack of life education, life education, survival education, personality education and psychological education. Science and engineering students can not be said to have a scientific spirit, liberal arts students have humanistic feelings-science and engineering students and liberal arts students only study the difference between subjects, and their learning goals in secondary schools and universities are utilitarian. In high school, it is to improve the score of exams to get into a better university;

To treat students in science and engineering and liberal arts, two problems arise:

One is suspected of discrimination against students. This problem has improved in recent years, but it will still be popping up, for example, some say that girls are not suitable for science and engineering, and that the liberal arts are useless, which are irrational and discriminatory ideas. If such views are spoken by a foreign university president, the protests of teachers and students will surely be aroused. Summers, former president of Harvard University, said at a meeting that "women's chances of success in science and mathematics were less than men's because of gender differences" and were eventually forced to resign. In fact, he is more tactful, trying to make this topic under the framework of research: "I may have to mention the different factors between men and women, although people are more willing to believe that the difference between men and women depends on social factors, but I think this needs further study." "But the Harvard faculty is still not buying it. Zheng said that "I found that many science and engineering students have no feelings, even the feelings of filial piety and parents are not", perhaps because college students are not sensitive to such remarks. Therefore, such words can attract attention, but will not encounter trouble.

Second, the wrong way to deal with students ' emotional problems, cognitive problems. In the light of the lack of scientific spirit and humanistic quality of students, the current measures adopted in basic education in our country are not division of science and Technology, this is the typical discipline thought, that is to say, science and engineering students to learn arts subjects, will increase the humanistic feelings, students of liberal arts in science and engineering subjects, will increase scientific literacy, and ignore a common problem-- Due to too much attention to the study of college entrance examination subjects, other important education, such as life education, life education and other serious deficiencies, this is the crux of the problem. We should reform the evaluation system, break the exam-oriented education, give the students the independent space to develop their individuality and interests, and solve the problems, but not to avoid the key problems and start with the study of subject knowledge.

President Zheng's prescription for the lack of emotion for science and engineering students is "art education". "Art education is an emotional education, of course," he said. However, it should be noted that art education is an education that all students need. Moreover, if this kind of education, if still take the educated, the skilled education route, then, raises the student's quality, the accomplishment, the emotion, the cognition, does not have the great benefit. How about the artistic accomplishment of Chinese art students? What are their emotional and cognitive levels? Furthermore, the emotional education of students, in addition to school education, as well as family education, social education, if the parents at home, do not teach children to conduct a life, to guide children to do an autonomous, self-improvement, responsible person, then, by school education alone, it is useless.

What I want to say is that for the problems of our students, we must have objective investigation, at the same time, we must find out the root of the problem in the investigation. As deputies to the NPC, more should have detailed survey data, not only by feeling, such as students ' emotional problems, should have a certain sample, analysis of all students, and then comparative analysis of different subjects students, and then analyze their education, including family education, social studies, school education, this is the scientific and rational attitude. Based on this analysis of advice and suggestions, it is more valuable. (Bingqi, the author of the Chinese Education Press, signed a commentator, deputy dean of Educational Research 21st century)
