Research On National Spirit Education For Adolescents

The power of national spirit epitomizes the strength of Chinese culture. Deeply rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, which stretches for thousands of years, the Chinese national spirit has always been the spiritual tie that links life of Chinese people of all nationalities; the spiritual support that maintains the survival and development of the Chinese people; the spiritual motive that promotes the common prosperity of the Chinese nation, and the backbone of the Chinese nation. However, in a world of globalization and diversification to become a general awareness, heritage and development of the national spirit is facing unprecedented challenges. Therefore, to carry on the research of national spirit education, especially research on the adolescents'national spirit education, has a very important practical significance.At present, with regard to the national spirit education for adolescents, many educators do research based on their own undertakings, such as instilling the national spirit education in Chinese classes, history classes, and so on. Since carrying forward and cultivating the national spirit was included in the report on the 16th national congress, the studies on the national spirit developed fast, from rough to subtle, from shallow to deep, and the system was further improved. However, the development of the theory of national spirit education is relatively backward. Therefore, starting with this to make a theoretical research on the national spirit education for adolescents will have a broader space.This thesis consists of four parts.
