The Research On Death Education Of College Students

Death education originated from the western death studies in the early 20th century,and was first started in the United States.In the 1960s and 1970s,American universities,middle schools and primary schools set up death education courses one after another.Britain,France,Germany,the Netherlands,Japan,South Korea,Australia and other developed countries have carried out different forms of death education.China's death education originated in Chinese Taiwan and Chinese Hong Kong taking the lead in introduction,and at the very beginning,it started slowly under the practice of life education.Influenced by the traditional death culture of rebirth and death,the value and significance of death are naturally dissolved,and the power and function of death on individual development and life growth are not paid attention to,resulting in the vigorous development of life education,while death education is basically in a state of blank and absence.Contemporary college students growing up under the influence of modern social background and traditional death culture,having the knowledge structure and total imbalance of life and death,death does not give full play to the power and function of theirs individual development and life growth.Due to the lack of death education for college students,as a result,the sense of urgency and motivation for college students to create a rich life and fully develop their life disappeared,and they presented a sense of rootlessness and floating of life in general,thus led to college students' life confusion,spiritual emptiness,meaning nihility,lack of value,disregard for life,suicide,homicide and other phenomena and problems occurred.This research takes death education of college students as the research object,and strives to distinguish the three concepts of death education,life education and life and death education,analyzes the connotation and extension of death education.This research thought of death education is different from the life education.Death education,which based on Science of life and death,is the process of learning,experience and thinking about death knowledge,exploring the fundamental problem in life,trying to wake up the individual death consciousness,changing attitude towards death,accelerating the development of individual life,seeking the way of living,realizing the meaning of life and the life value,in order to transcend death and achieve the first purpose of life and death together,second peacefully,and third comfortable.Death education is a kind of education for all,lifelong education and state education,which has the characteristics of transcendence,process and negative.Therefore,we must adhere to the implementation principles of positivity,constructivism and criticalness,take positive psychology as the guiding ideology,give full play to and dig out the positive role and dynamic function of death on individual development and life growth.This research,which use questionnaire survey,interview survey,action research and other research methods,based on Taylor's curriculum development theory and Bloom's educational goal classification theory,is studying the death education of college students.According to the research,compared with children's death education,college students' death education is more practical,targeted and urgent.Moreover,college students have a strong demand for death education.On the one hand,college students have a solid internal demand for self-consciousness,behavioral motivation and individual development.On the other hand,college students have strong external demand in death knowledge,death attitude and death education.Compared with the death education in middle age,the purpose of death education in college students emphasizes the construction of the meaning of individual life.Under the premise of changing college students' attitude towards death,college students' death education tries to arouse college students' awareness of death,construct the meaning of individual life,and promote college students' life growth,so as to realize their life value and improve their life quality.Compared with the death education for the elderly,the death education for college students is more comprehensive,systematic and hierarchical.The content of death education for college students
