摘要
教育的意义在于帮助学生建构应对当下和未来的能力,死亡作为生命历程中不可避免的一环,理应成为教育必须关注的命题.死亡教育应包括对死亡的知识理解、态度塑造和行为规范三个维度.系统的死亡教育课程不仅可以有效改善学生对死亡的态度,而且能够在根本上提升他们对生命意义的感知.此外,在学校以外的教育场域,诸如家庭、社会、朋辈群体的死亡教育实践都有助于个体构建更科学的死亡认知.
Abstract
The meaning of education is to help students build the ability to cope with the present and the future.Death,as an inevitable part of life course,should become a proposition that education must concern itself with.Death education should include three dimensions:an intellectual understanding of death,attitude shaping and behavior norms.Systematic death education courses can not only effectively improve students'attitude towards death,but also fundamentally enhance their perception of the meaning of life.In addition,the practice of death education outside the school,such as practiced by families,society,and peer groups,can help individuals to construct a more scientific understanding of death.
