中小学美育的错位与到位

The Dislocation and the Position of Aesthetic Education in Primary and Secondary Schools

学校美育作为立德树人的重要载体,引领学生树立正确的社会价值观,陶冶高尚情操,塑造美好心灵,增强文化自信,实现人的自由而全面发展。然而,受“应试教育”的负面影响,美育育人路径出现错位,使之偏离了教育的初衷。具体表现为:美育偏向外在功利,而无视内在价值;美育走向庸俗,而不再渴求高雅;美育趋向片面化,而忽视人的整体发展。鉴于此,中小学美育改革势在必行,从立德树人根本任务出发,使美育摆脱“应试教育”的窠臼,实现从外在功利向内在精神价值的跃迁,由庸俗走向高雅,从片面迈向全面。循此路径,美育才能回归本真,有效助力立德树人根本任务,从而实现人的自由而全面发展。

As an important carrier of moral education,school aesthetic education leads students to set up correct social values,cultivate noble sentiments,shape a beautiful soul,enhance cultural confidence and realize the free and all-round development of people.However,under the negative influence of exam-oriented education,the path of aesthetic education is misplaced,making it deviate from the original intention of education.Specifically,aesthetic education is biased towards external utility but ignores internal value,tends to vulgarity instead of elegance,and tends to be one-sided but neglects the all-round development of human beings.In view of this,the reform of aesthetic education in primary and secondary schools is imperative.Starting from the fundamental task of cultivating people by virtue,the aesthetic education should get rid of the mold of exam-oriented education and realize the transition from external utility to internal spiritual value,from vulgarity to elegance and from one-side to compressive development.Only by following this path can aesthetic education return to its true nature and effectively help to achieve the fundamental task of moral education,so as to realize the free and all-round development of people.
