A Case Study On The Cultivation Of Labor Ability Of High School Students In Rural Boarding Primary Schools

Learning to work is the only way for students to live independently,and the ability to work is one of the important contents of students’ overall development.Compared with urban students,rural students are naturally identified as having a higher level of labor ability.Is this the case?As an important carrier of rural education in our country,rural boarding school has put forward higher requirements for students,which requires students to master scientific and cultural knowledge and to learn to take care of themselves in life,as well as to undertake various cleaning work on campus during the school period.However,with the decrease of the number of rural students and the development of the campaign of "merging schools with schools" in rural primary schools,boarding students show a trend of younger age,which brings further challenges to the cultivation of students’ labor ability in rural boarding schools.This studay takes the high phase of studying students in Q Primary School,a rural boarding school,as the research object,carries out a case study on them,and uses the observation method to observe the students’ work skills and work performance in classrooms,dormitories,cleaning areas,canteens and other places.The interview method is used to conduct in-depth interviews with the teachers and relevant principals of the high phase studying of the school,so as to understand the practice of Q Primary School in cultivating students’ labor ability,the teachers’ views and opinions,as well as the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the current training.On this basis,the researcher also uses the questionnaire survey method to further understand the students’ labor cognition and labor emotion.The results show that Q Primary School cultivates students’ self-care skills in school life by "Clothing","Fooding","Housing" and "Washing",and cultivates students’ collective labor skills in campus by "Three Sweeping and One Washing".In labor cognition,labor knowledge is seldom taught,while labor concept is mainly carried out through curriculum penetration and "Preaching" by the head teacher.In terms of labor emotion,Q Primary School cultivated students’ labor enthusiasm through selection of models,daily praise and criticism,and cultivated students’ sense of labor responsibility through clear division of labor,supervision,inspection and punishment.In terms of effectiveness,the cultivation of students’ labor ability in Q Primary School improves the students’ labor skills,labor cognition and labor emotion.However,there are also problems in the development of students’ labor ability,such as lack of continuity of labor skills,narrow scope of labor knowledge and lack of positive labor emotion relatively.By analyzing the cultivation methods of students’ labor ability in Q Primary School,this study believes that the following characteristics are found:the cultivation objectives can be effectively implemented,the cultivation process is institutionalized and normalized,and the cultivation results are included in the homeroom teacher evaluation standards.The main problems are as follows:the implementation of labor courses is not in place in the training process,the lack of labor cognition and labor emotion in the training content,the neglect of the combination of hand and brain in the training principle,and the single form of training machinery,etc.The main reasons are as follows:the backward labor concept and low labor teaching level of teachers,the backward basic learning level of students,the disconnection with family labor,the insufficient labor facilities,etc.Therefore,Q Primary School should abide by the the basic principles of cultivating students’ labor ability,and improve the labor curriculum in school,attach importance to the labor practice inside and outside school,and strengthen the home-school alliance,so as to better promote the cultivation of high phase studying students’ labor ability of Q Primary School.
