Research On The Construction Of Mental Health Education Curriculum In Postmodern Perspective

This study deconstructs and reflects on the modern university practice of mental health education curriculum from Postmodern Perspective by reviewing those research highlights on postmodern curriculum,and drawing reasonable resources from within, and threreby clears up a variety of illusion which has masked the university practice of mental health education curriculum, straightens out several level of relationship required to be reconstructed, that is the relationship among curriculum objectives,curriculum content, student-teacher interaction, the ways and means to implement the curriculum, curriculum assessment; the relationship among the teacher, students and curriculum, as well the relations between man, society, nature and self,which is required to be rebuilt. Based on above work, this study is carried on to reconstruct university mental education model, and expound and propagate organic whole curriculum.This study suggests that the current practice of university mental health education and its curriculumhave been caught by the the impasse of logic disorder caused by the conflict between modernity and post-modernity, and its sustainable and healthy development gets stuck. It is required to straighten out the logic discourse implied in modern curriculum model, and make it more reasonable and coherent to reconstruct university mental health education model. The idel path to reconstruct such model is to transform the tree-like hierarchical structure with curriculum objective as its root, into a decentralized, open rhizome model. The objective of mental health education curriculum should be reconstructed as:" under the premise with full respect and love for the uiqueness and wholeness of the life of every students, make negotiation and construction with students centering on the meaning of curriculum, and provide the necessary support to the release of his potential with an open mind, moderate curiosity,affected reality, and strong sense of being in presence, to make him acquire more ontological knowledge, take the initiative to cultivate their abilityto reflect critically, heighten the sense of awe for life and nature, and develop positive and optimistic life attitudes and flexible, harmonious holistic view, coming up to the sound and balanced development of body, heart and spirit gradually". The content of the curriculum should embrace and highlight three levels of relations, that is the relationship between man and nature, man and self, man and the others. The ways and means to implement the curriculum include metaphor, narrative, art appreciation and artistic expression, group counseling and individual counseling, interdisciplinary, exploring and utilizing local cultural resources, and so forth. In the assessment of curriculum, it is required to smash the model of "cut it even at one stroke", implement ing and embodying three kinds of pluralism, namely, the pluralism of assessment subject, standard, and content. In the perspective of postmodernism, the construction of university mental health education curriculum model is a systematic project, which requires the university to provide guarantees in terms of talent, financial and material means stably and sufficiently.
