The Teachers In The School Moral Education In The Rational Consciousness

The future of the human and society lies mainly in education. And the education is a necessary Utopia to people. Teaching has the educational traits. Education in substance means morals and ethics cultivation. And the education means a cause with moral and ethical traits. But our school moral education is devoid of substantial and real results. This paper ascribes the reason why the school moral education is devoid of validity to the absence of teachers' rationality and consciousness. We can induce that the absence of teachers' rationality and consciousness will naturally lead to the absence of teachers' subjectivity in moral education. When teachers are neglected or overlook themselves, they'll have neither initiative, nor activity, nor enthusiasm in school moral education. Without initiative, positivity or enthusiasm, the school moral education will have no pertinences either in moral education methods or in moral education contents. Therefore the teachers' rationality and consciousness in school moral education plays a key role in boosting up the validity of moral education. The aim of this paper is to post the function of teachers' rationality and consciousness in school moral education in coalescence with my own observation, pondering and research in my own moral education practice and the moral education practice in macro sphere.This paper is divided into four major parts altogether:The first part analyses the reason why this paper devotes its attention to the teachers' rationality and consciousness in school moral education. Although there are affluent and enough moral education theories to guide the practice and experiment, theories has little positive influence on it. Although there are affluent and enough moral education experience to use for reference, the experience has little effect to improve the moral education practice. Whatever on earth weakens the function of theories to guide the practice and the experience for use of reference is the teachers' rationality and consciousness.The second part demonstrates the significance of teachers' rational consciousness in improving school moral education. On one hand, teachers' rational consciousness in school moral education will help to excavate the cultural and ethical value buried deep in the moral education curriculum. Quintessential morals, values and ethics such as national spirit, cultural values and the various cultures penetrated in curriculum, teachers won't comprehend, grasp and make full use of them without higher rationality and consciousness. On the other hand, only when teachers are provided with higher rationality and consciousness, can it help improve the moral education fulfillment.In the third part, the paper analyses what the teachers' rationality and consciousness is. Through the simple revision about the essence and the function ofrationality by different philosophical schools, the paper brings forward three meanings of teachers' rationality: In its first sense, rationality means thinking form or in other words thinking activity of forming concept, judgment and ratiocination owned only by human beings. On occasion rationality means wisdom activity. In its second sense rationality means teachers' forming of sight and ideology about the education. Thirdly rationality means ability to control one's own behavior and action in moral education practice. Based on this, the paper comes to three conclusions about teachers' rationality and consciousness: The first one is to self-reflect and to criticize moral educational practice and the theories with rational consciousness. The second one is to form one's own education ideology with rational consciousness. The third one is to implement moral educational practice with rational consciousness and of one's own accord.The traits of teachers' rationality and consciousness are centered on four aspects: (1) Subjectivity. Both teachers and students should live a moral and ethical life in both school and class. (2) Initiative. Teachers' initiative can inspire students' initiative. Te...
