Beyond Cognition:The Epistemological Foundation of Social Emotional Learning
The development of education must be carried out on the basis of integrating the advantages of previous education and eliminating its existing defects.In order to promote the high-quality development of education and build a powerful education country,the attention should be focused on promoting the long-term reform and development of China's education based on the new historical starting point.The basis of the development is to go beyond the long-standing Chinese education that pays too much attention to teaching and not enough to educate people,and to go beyond the bias of paying too much attention to students'cognitive development and ignoring their social development.In view of the fact that the current social reality foundation has shifted from paying attention to the external nature to the social world,and the understanding of human nature has shifted from the confirmation of rationality to the construction of social relations,which requires that the orientation of education should shift from only focusing on cognition to focusing on the cultivation of emotions,and paying attention to the social emotional ability of students'individual self-development and social adaptation.Therefore,based on the understanding of the more inherent stipulations of human development given by the times,it is necessary to go beyond the utilitarian orientation of one-sided emphasis on knowledge imparting in current education,effectively implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with morality,and promote the high-quality development of students and even society.Based on the all-round development of human beings,it is necessary to pay attention to the cultivation of students'sound personality,stimulate the positive power of people and themselves,others and social relations,build the foundation of social benign operation,and promote personal happiness and social harmony.
