道德关怀:对农村留守儿童关怀实践的重要维度

Moral Care: An Important Practical Dimension of Caring for Left-behind Children in Rural Areas

农村留守儿童是我国快速城镇化背景下产生的特殊社会群体。道德关怀是对农村留守儿童关怀实践的重要维度,助人成长是其根本目的,精神建构是其主要内容,全民关爱是其重要机制。但是教育实践中却存在对农村留守儿童道德关怀缺失的“三重三轻”现象,即重物质关怀而轻精神关怀、重外在形式而轻内在实质、重显性危害而轻潜在机遇等。实施对农村留守儿童的道德关怀,必须承认农村留守儿童的道德主体地位,确保农村留守儿童关怀实践符合道德的要求,营造全民关怀农村留守儿童的社会氛围。

Left-behind children in rural areas are a special social group in the context of rapid urbanization in China.Moral care is an important practical dimension of caring for left-behind children in rural areas.Helping people to grow is the fundamental purpose,spiritual construction is the main content,and public care is an important mechanism.However,in the practice of education,there exists the phenomenon of“three kinds of emphasis and three kinds of neglect”in the moral care for left-behind children in rural areas,that is,emphasizing material care rather than spiritual care,emphasizing external form rather than internal essence,emphasizing overt harm rather than potential opportunities.To implement moral care for left-behind children in rural areas,the morality-concerned role of left-behind children in rural areas must be recognized,caring for left-behind children in rural areas should meet the moral requirements,and a social atmosphere ought to be created in which the whole people care for left-behind children in rural areas.
