美、德基础生命教育管窥

A Glance at Basic Life Education Curriculum in America and Germany

死亡是人类必须经历的普遍现象,但一直以来人们对死亡的态度是极其消极的。这种消极的态度影响儿童和青少年对死亡持有歪曲的认识,甚至影响他们的身心健康。美国和德国是开始生命教育较早的国家,借鉴他们的生命教育课程建构将有助于儿童和青少年正确认识死亡、珍惜有限的生命。

LIU Shengai Abstract： Death is an unavoidable part of human being＇s life; however, people normally have passive attitudes toward it. Such attitudes impact incorrectly children and the youth＇s perceptions about death, and even damage their physical health. America and Germany are two countries who started death education earlier than China did. Constructing Chinese life education system based on American and Germany experiences would contribute to Chinese children and young people＇s better attitude toward death, more cherishing their lives, and better preparation for meaningful lives.
