Topic-based Teaching Strategy in Cultivating Labor Values

Abstract

The ideological and political curriculum in high schools as a fundamental course for the implementation of moral education plays an important role in cultivating students’ labor values. However, the traditional and indoctrination teaching methods used by some teachers are not suitable to cultivate these values. This article proposes a new teaching method in high schools’ ideological and political lessons to cultivate students’ labor values in four aspects which are students’ knowledge, feeling, meaning, and action. By setting topics to emphasize on labor values, circulating and discussing these topics to cultivate labor emotions, promote thinking for firm labor faith, and promote action in the practice of labor behaviors to cultivate students’ labor values, improve their rational cognition and emotional identification of Marxist labor values, as well as internalize labor values in their minds and externalizing them in practice.
