Today, education is aimed at the comprehensive development of schoolchildren, so that in the future they will grow up not just a good citizen, but a person with a capital letter. However, this process is quite complex and thorny, since we are all different, and mass education in educational institutions implies a comprehensive “equalization”. Perhaps, once such an approach would have been successful, but with the development of society in the 21st century, it is completely inappropriate. The importance of monitoring the development process should also be emphasized. By itself, a person in the early years of his life is like plasticine. What kind of “shape” the world around him blinds, so he will live. We all understand that at this stage, the development of each can reach a dead end or flow in a completely different direction.
Where are children's feelings nurtured?
Very many psychologists of various qualifications, who are somehow involved in the process of training people of student or school age, say that very little time is devoted to the development of feelings. Naturally, the main task of the school lies in the education of children, but the education of the senses is no less important. After all, directly in the familythe child is for a very short period of time. All his development comes down to his life activity in the circle of his peers, a kind of mini-society. In this environment, he must fully cognize those feelings that will be useful to him in the future and which organize him as a person, as a person. Of course, the upbringing of the child's feelings begins at home, this is a kind of basis, but he receives the lion's share of knowledge at school. You need to understand that in the family the baby receives a certain framework for his development, on the basis of which he will continue to build all his relationships, feelings and emotions.
The concept of morality and moral feelings
It is impossible to raise a child without taking into account the world around. If such a process succeeds, then we will end up with not a person, but a likeness of Mowgli, who will not understand his significance for society. Thus, the whole process of education should be aimed at educating moral feelings.
Many do not understand what exactly this term means. Moreover, not all psychologists can explain its meaning. Moral feelings are a certain number of feelings that are formed on the basis of the interaction of a person and the social environment in which he develops. Such feelings are useful precisely in the context of society. They are formed on the basis of moral habits that emerge from the social norms that exist.
Sense education system
When we talk about moral education, we cannot ignorethe structure of this concept. After all, a similar level of development of feelings is characteristic of the state. In other words, it is the state that should be interested in educating citizens who will treat their country with respect and thereby influence its political stability. Based on this, we can talk about a system of education of feelings, which consists of several elements: humanism, patriotism, responsibility. All these elements are united by one term - morality. It should be noted that these concepts cannot be considered exclusively in the context of morality. They should all be studied separately in order to bring the most positive result possible.
Education of humanism in man
Education of feelings is impossible without a hierarchy of the basic elements of the moral system. It consists of several levels, which are created in order to streamline the process of educating moral feelings as much as possible. Therefore, the education of humane feelings is the lowest level that will take its place in the entire system of morality. Speaking of humanism, it is necessary to emphasize the fact that a large part of his successful upbringing is played by the family. Until the moment a person enters the social environment, he is in his family. It is there that he receives the basics of his moral development. It should be remembered that at an early age a child is comparable to a sponge. He literally absorbs absolutely everything that his parents teach him. If cruelty is programmed at this stage,then he will be cruel in the future. Therefore, the education of feelings in preschoolers is largely based on humanism.
Methods for fostering humane feelings
There are many ways to instill in a child humanity as a basic sense of relation to the world as a whole. At its core, humanism is the upbringing of a person who will be loyal and loving to the people around him. All methods of humane education are based on empathy - the ability to put oneself in the place of another, to feel all the peculiarities of his situation.
There are several basic methods for educating humanism in a child, namely:
1) Showing love for the child himself. When a person develops in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect for their rights and feelings, he will not try to humiliate the similar rights and feelings of other people.
2) A very effective method would be to praise the child for his kind attitude towards the world around him.
3) Intolerance to the negative manifestations of the child towards other people or the world around him (animals, plants).
4) Adults need to be mindful of their own behavior around a child, as young children imitate them in just about everything.
This list is not exhaustive and therefore can be supplemented. But the techniques presented are basic.
Raising a sense of patriotism
Patriotic feelings are the second link in the chainmoral education. This level of education is impossible without the participation of the school and the mini-society, in other words, classmates.
Patriotic feelings are the main link between a person and the state. The presence of patriotism in a person indicates his attitude towards the country with which he has a civil connection. The education of this kind of feelings is beneficial for the state, since it is it that is interested in getting people who will obey the existing regulatory framework. The entire political climate of the country as a whole will depend on the level of patriotism.
Today, very little time is given to patriotic education. The education of patriotic feelings should be taken as a basis, and it exists as an addition to the modern education system. The issue of patriotism is approached only in the graduating classes at the lessons of defending the Fatherland. This method is fundamentally wrong, since the process of training people with patriotic feelings should begin much earlier. To do this, more and more new sports and patriotic sections should be opened, where young girls and boys will study in depth the history of their country, engage in traditional sports and will be able to track the political climate of their state.
Inculcating a sense of responsibility
A responsible person will always treat his country with great respect, as well as have humane feelings for the people around him. Responsibility is the ratio of the factor “I can” and “I must”. When a person is responsible, henot only understands the significance of his actions, but is also ready to answer for their consequences. But responsibility should develop in a person to the entire process of life. It happens that people can be responsible towards others, but not have this feeling towards their he alth.
How to develop responsibility?
Responsibility is a human social skill. It is acquired through comprehensive development and education. Parents play a key role in developing responsibility in a child. They lay the foundation of this feeling from an early age. However, in addition to parents, the school, sports sections and other social groups in which the child develops also play an important role. It is for this reason that many psychologists advise sending children to all kinds of circles, because they instill not only special skills, but also other socially useful feelings.
Result
So, the article presented the facts of how social development is useful for a person and his future. The structure of moral development was also shown, which helps to develop the child from the point of view of his social benefit. Feelings have been proven to be possible at the family and school levels.
