The autumn of 2008 is destined to be different from previous years. There are not only the baptism of Wenchuan disaster and grief, but also the sports and cultural feast of Beijing Olympic Games. After the Olympic Games, we were still immersed in the joy that China athletes won 5 1 gold. However, on August 30th 16: 30, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6. 1 occurred in Panzhihua, which still keeps us alert to the Wenchuan earthquake.
"Freshmen, including some new teachers, have safety education in the first class. Before that, the Ministry of Education arranged similar activities every year. This year is particularly special. " Yu said that according to the special situation this year, the Ministry of Education and CCTV jointly produced a special program on safety education in primary and secondary schools, "The First Class at School", as the first compulsory course for strengthening students' safety education in the new semester in primary and secondary schools across the country.
According to Xu Wenguang, Assistant Director of CCTV Economic Channel, the purpose of TV classes is to help kindergartens, primary and secondary school students across the country enhance life awareness education, know, respect and protect life, and at the same time participate in emergency avoidance learning, so as to popularize emergency avoidance measures among the whole people.
"Life awareness education and emergency avoidance education are compulsory courses for citizens of many countries. China, which has experienced the Wenchuan earthquake, should pay special attention to the safety education of primary and secondary school students, and should let the majority of primary and secondary school students learn the common sense and skills of emergency avoidance. " Dr. Wei Yingying, representative of UNICEF representative office in China, said that she called on all people to actively participate in the popularization of "life knowledge" and enhance our awareness of life.
On May 12, at the moment of the earthquake, more than 2,300 teachers and students of Sangzao Middle School in Anxian County, Sichuan Province were evacuated to safety in only 1 minute 36 seconds. Ye Zhiping, the headmaster of Sangzao Middle School, who was called "the best headmaster in history" by netizens, said in "The First Class": "This miracle is because we have organized students to conduct an evacuation exercise every semester since 2005. I propose to give students an emergency lesson at the beginning of each semester. Because the value of life is above everything else. The first lesson in school, knowledge protects life. "
"In the event of an earthquake, avoid first, find a gap under the table, bend down against the corner, seize the opportunity to escape, stay away from all buildings, and the aftershocks squat in the open space. ..... "In the first class, the" students "recited the catchy ten golden rules for protecting lives in ten disasters such as earthquake, fire, flood and typhoon.
The first lesson at the beginning of school takes "knowledge to protect life" as the theme, and helps children understand the value of life and master the practical skills of avoiding danger and escaping through four aspects: potential, persistence, team and life. "When people are in danger, their first reaction is that their potential dominates their physical behavior", "persistence can create miracles of life", "team spirit is particularly important in the face of disasters" and "happiness is the golden key to a healthy life" ...
In class, pianist Lang Lang tells the story of two children who used knowledge to escape successfully in a fire. The literature professor started with Lei's "narrator" theory and told the children what to pay attention to when lightning weather happened. Yang Liwei, a space hero, tells us how to escape correctly when the flood comes by telling the astronauts' persistence in training. ...
Ma Wenguang, director of the Wrestling Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, led eight Olympic champions, including Chen Xiexia, Zhang Xiangxiang and Liu Chunhong. The deputy director of the Basketball Management Center led the China basketball team, including Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang, and the women's windsurfing champion Yin Jian. Together with the children from the disaster areas, we will closely combine the Olympic spirit with the spirit of disaster prevention through interactive and entertaining forms, so that emergency avoidance education will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Teaching methods such as song interpretation, knowledge transfer, interactive games and self-presentation are not only lively, but also let children know how to know, respect and protect life in this lively interaction.
"I like this teaching method! Through this study, my safety awareness has been improved, and I will strengthen the study of safety knowledge in the future. " Biobo, a fifth-grade (3) class student at Hujialou Central Primary School, said.
expert opinion/advice
Expect safety education to become the norm.
According to statistics, in 2006 and 2007, the death toll of primary and secondary school students caused by various safety accidents inside and outside the school decreased by 9.24% and 13.67% respectively compared with the previous year. In the Wenchuan earthquake, many schools paid attention to safety education and drills, avoiding more casualties.
"Safety education is indeed a major event in every school at present, but now students' safety education is mainly instilled by school teachers, and students' ability to deal with safety incidents is insufficient." Some experts expressed their concerns.
"The Ministry of Education gave the first lesson of safety education to primary and secondary schools across the country. What we have to do is how to teach the second and third lessons well ... "Ma Jun, principal of Hujialou Central Primary School, said that the problem of students' safety education is not just a school education problem, but a social problem. The "safety education" of students needs the joint efforts of schools, families and the whole society. Without any link, the safety of students will be hidden.
"This time, the Ministry of Education asked primary and secondary schools to organize students and parents to learn the first lesson of school, and to enlarge the safety education of students to the whole society, which better made up for the shortcomings of school safety education. Xiong Bingqi, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that "the first class" can be regarded as a positive attempt to promote life education. However, life education for students can't be covered in one class. Life education should be included in the whole education process, including the following aspects: first, establish life consciousness. Let students establish the concept of "life is above everything else" and respect life. The second is to cultivate viability. Let primary school students carry heavy objects, walk in the wild, test their viability ... and strengthen the cultivation of their viability. The third is to train emergency hedging skills. The school always keeps the disaster in mind and never takes training as a form and goes through the motions.
