Research on Education of Students’ Morality and Emotion in Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

In the Several Opinions on Improving the Quality of Higher Vocational Education Comprehensively, Ministry of Education has clearly pointed out that education in higher vocational colleges should give priority to moral education by putting students in the first place, that is to say, education on students as well as students' morality should be served as a fundamental task, which requires vocational colleges to give even more attention to moral education and put it in a prior position. The basic task of moral education is to affect students' personality to form morality, that is, the moral character, which includes moral cognition, moral emotion, moral will, moral belief and moral behaviors. As far as the basic psychology during the formation of individual moral character is concerned, it is a process from knowledge to behaviors. As for current moral education in higher vocational colleges, it extends more emphasis on cognition while less attention to emotions, leading to a less ideal effect of moral education. In order to promote the efficiency of moral education, more emphasis should be laid on moral emotional education. That is, while conducting education on moral cognition, we should also pay more attention to the cultivation of moral emotion.
