Humanism Education, Middle School Physical Education

Under the guidance of humanistic psychology and humanistic education theory, the thesis discusses the necessity and the feasibility of cultivating humanistic spirit in physics education in high school, based on the reality of physics education in our country. The questionnaire method and theory analysis method are used to draw an education project, and a preliminary discussion on which is done by educational practice. The thesis is composed of five parts. In the foreword, it introduces the social background and the meaning of the study. The working in this field done by foreigners is also mentioned in this part. Based on the connotation and characteristic of humanistic spirit, the second part of the thesis propounds that there is plenty of content about the humanistic spirit in physics education in high school. The argumentation was demonstrated by two ways, one is the development of physics and the other is the target of physics education in high school. The third part of the thesis puts forward the targets and the principles in physics education in high school. In the thesis humanistic spirit means a concept value and it is divided into four aspects, which are attitudes to oneself, human being society, other people and nature, and their concrete meaning in physics education is also interpreted. Four main principles are put forward. The first one is to conjoin scientific spirit and humanistic spirit, the second one is to take the human being as root, the third principle is to pay attention to process in teaching, the forth one is to have an open eye on the physics education. On the basis of the part two and the part three, the forth part of the thesis puts a project on how to culture the humanistic spirit in physics education in high school. We used questionnaire method in order to find the present situation of middle school students, teachers?teaching habits, views about humanistic spirit and their suggestions, and then designed the education project. The last part of the thesis describes the process of the educational practice and suggests the main style of penetrating humanistic spirit education in physics instruction. Other methods are also used, such as V talking about special topics in class. Students are supervised and urged to go out to do some investigation, and write down what they have learnt. Based on the theory analysis and educational practice of one term, the conclusion was drawn from the testing and feedbacks from teachers and students themselves, telling us that it is feasible to culture the humanistic spirit in the physics education in high school. And the result also demonstrates that it is hard to culture the humanistic spirit. It demands a long time of studying and practicing.
