Research On The Integration Of The Moral Education Elements In The Curriculum Of Integrative Practical Activities At Primary And High Schools

It is a widespread tendency of the curriculum reform of elementary education in many countries to train the students' integrative practical abilities through the curriculum of the integrative practical activities. Since 2001 some primary and high schools in our country have arranged the curriculum of integrative practical activities in accordance with the Trial Programme of Elementary Education Curriculum Reform. However, up till now, the value of the curriculum and its educational function have not been brought into full play. In my opinion, the reason mainly lies in the failure of integrating the moral education elements when the curriculum of integrative practical activities is designed and carried out.Guided by the basic principle of our country's new curriculum reform and based on modern education theories and some authentic examples, this paper discusses the necessity of integrating the moral education elements in the curriculum of integrative practical activities. Integrating the moral education elements is not only the objective and demand of the curriculum but also the guarantee to improve the effect of moral education in schools. My paper also analyses the exhilarating achievements and the existing problems in carrying out the curriculum of integrative practical activities in primary and high schools in our country. Some effective measures of integrating the moral education elements in the curriculum of integrative practical activities are proposed such as integrating the educational force, the self-teaching abilities, the contents and the methods of moral education into the curriculum. From the holistic view, we can realize the social value of the curriculum and improve the effect of moral education by curriculums of integrative practical activities.
