心理健康教育是德育的组成部分吗?——兼论心理健康教育与德育的关系

Is Mental Health Education a Component of Moral Education?

心理健康教育并不是德育的组成部分,二者之间既有区别,又有联系。其区别可以从起源、理论基础、特征、教育者队伍、学生观、目标、原则、内容、方法、评价等方面来论述;其联系则可以从内容、形式、方法、效果等方面来论述。在学校教育系统中,两者应保持各自相对的独立性,既不能混为一谈,也不能相互替代。强调在"以德育德"、"以心育心"的同时,注重"以心育德"和"以德育心",可以提高新时期我国学校德育和心理健康教育的效果。

Mental health education is not a constituent of moral education. There are some differences and relations between them. The differences are discussed from the perspectives of the origin, theoretical foundation, features, educators, outlook of students, objectives, principles, contents, methods, evaluation, etc. The relations are expounded from the perspectives of their content, form, method and impact. In the school educational system, we should not confuse the two different kinds of education or substitute one for the other. While we are focusing our attention upon fostering morality through moral education and cultivating psychological quality through mental health education, we should also put high premium on fostering morality through mental health education and cultivating psychological quality through moral education. Thus, our mental health education and moral education will be promoted in the new times.
