Confucianism and class management

How do teachers get out of the "job burnout period"? How to adjust teachers' own psychology? What is the basic model of class management in the new period? What ideas do we provide for students? These are common problems in school management, and how to solve them has always been a difficult problem. Here I try to start with the profoundness of Confucianism. This paper expounds its enlightenment to the current school class management and education direction, with a view to improving management efficiency and improving education quality.

I "Benevolence" Thought and Humanized Management

Benevolence is the core content of Confucius' Confucianism. In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius mentioned the word "benevolence" in 100 places. Confucius wrote in the Book of Rites? The Doctrine of the Mean points out: "To govern for the people, learn from others' strengths, cultivate one's morality, cultivate one's nature, and be benevolent ..." Here, people are obviously regarded as the carrier of management. In the view of Confucianism represented by Confucius, the essence of management is "managing people", the core of management is the idea of human perfection and human obligation, the premise of management is "humanity" and the ultimate goal of management is "caring for people". The essential feature of Confucian management thought is to affirm human value, which is reflected in modern times by affirming the creative ability and decision-making value of management subjects.

The enlightenment of "benevolence" to school management lies in that school administrators should make the head teacher not only have emotion and self-esteem, but also realize self-guidance and self-control and become a person with high sense of responsibility and consciousness. Benevolence can inspire class teachers to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, make them cherish themselves and love the school, closely combine their destiny with the survival and development of the school, form a strong cohesion of the school and build a harmonious people-oriented school education environment. The author thinks that teachers can not only provide counseling for students with slight psychological barriers, but also establish a good work attitude for themselves, improve their emotional control ability and relieve their work pressure. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Schools should truly implement this kind of "benevolence" and make full psychological preparations for building a healthy and energetic team of class teachers.

Second, the spiritual core of "self-improvement, self-reliance and self-confidence" and the construction of class spirit.

There are two famous sayings in the great biography of Zhouyi, an important classic of Confucian culture: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement" and "The terrain is vast, and gentlemen carry things with morality". With the development of market economy and the increasing diversification and complexity of social life, the younger generation is required to have tenacious will and vitality, the consciousness of independent survival and the ability to survive based on this consciousness. The starting point of life is "self-improvement, self-reliance and self-confidence", which has been proved by many great thinkers, scientists, literary saints and famous artists in the past dynasties. It has become the basic connotation of contemporary education, which is not only reflected in formal school education. But also permeates all aspects of social and family education. "Men are not afraid of being born bitter. The spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement of "study hard and have a bright future" is also the basic weather vane for every member of a class to become an adult in the future!

Third, the value orientation of "emphasizing righteousness over profit" and the construction of teachers' morality.

The imperfection of market economy concept is impacting China's concept of justice and benefit that has existed for thousands of years. Young people can't choose between righteousness and benefit, which leads to confusion. Confucian traditional culture advocates valuing righteousness over profit. Confucius said, "A gentleman is righteous, a villain is beneficial" (establishing a person). Because of this, people are used to focusing on righteousness, and gentlemen are ashamed to talk about profit. The market economy is to stimulate people's pursuit of personal reasonable interests. Only by stimulating people's constant pursuit of their own reasonable interests can we improve the enthusiasm and initiative of production, improve efficiency and finally get rid of poverty. However, the imperfection of China's market economy system has also brought about some unscrupulous pursuit of personal interests. Then, when the traditional concept of justice and benefit is impacted, and moral education in the new era cannot guide teenagers to form correct values on the issue of justice and benefit, teenagers will wander between "emphasizing justice and neglecting benefit" and "emphasizing justice and neglecting benefit". I don't know how to grasp the rationality between "profit" and "righteousness", so I have "money makes the mare go? Money is evil? " "Work. Should I bargain? " "Who should I refuse in front of' righteousness' and' benefit'?" Such confusion is inevitable.

First of all, teachers should "value righteousness over profit", that is, value teachers' morality over foreign interests. This is particularly important in the current social environment. Imagine how a class teacher who links everything with money can win the hearts of students and cultivate qualified students. The significance of education lies in improving social atmosphere, which is also the reason why Mr. Tao Xingzhi and other educational pioneers waved flags and shouted for educational reform. Secondly. Teachers should make use of parents' schools, home visits and class meetings. Carry out the ideological education of "valuing righteousness over profit" for parents of students. As long as each of us creates this kind of atmosphere, which affects the growth of children, then "planting trees in ten years and educating people in a hundred years", how beautiful our society will be in a hundred years.
