| Middle school period is the metamorphosis of life maturity of individuals; it is a critical period of socialization development. The students of this period are sensitive, vulnerable, rebellious, focusing on self-development and looking forward to the social identity. Social environment of rural high school students living left-behind is much worse than that of their counterparts. The carrier bearing individual socialization is constituted of family, school, reference groups and the mass media,"Left-behind’" means the absence of the family, thereby the corresponding family education, care and supervision are unable to meet the growing needs of the students’socialization; school equipment resources, the teachers and the education model are relatively backward in rural schools, as one of the carriers bearing the left-behind students’socialization, the schools is slightly weak, to make it worse, the breaking of the chain between family and school interaction aggravates the weakness; contributed by geographical location and psychological implications, the rural students have relatively narrow life scopes, their reference group is relatively closed, the way of trying to supplement the social development by referring group is forced closure. Unlike the family, the school and the decline of the reference group, media environment is flourishing in rural areas. The effect of social development of rural left-behind students which the media has is growing in depth and breadth; media even bears the duty delivering by the family, the school and the reference group, and has become the main carrier of socialization of left-behind students.This paper field surveys and studies the Zhangdian left-behind students to find the depth of those students contacting and using media, and what the positive and negative effects that the media has on their socialization development are. Researcher restores the true aspects of lives in the media environment through support education and long-term in-depth observation in the Zhangdian secondary school. The study finds that the media contact of Zhangdian left-behind students is long-term and diverse. It can be sorted as"newspaper<broadcast<network<TV" by the length of time, which says that Zhangdian left-behind students’investment of time is positively relative with the vividness of media express, and the ease of media access."Action ahead, consciousness unawakened"."Various means for single-purpose".Pro-gaze Mobile media"."Difference of interaction between boys and girls"."Over-reliance, Deified media"."Fuzzy concept, unknown regulations", these are the basic characteristics that recent Zhangdian left-behind students showing in media use. Lives in these media environment bring these following effects on the socialization of the research objects:First, changes in social atmosphere:from the authority suppress to free atmosphere. Adult authority figures dominate families and schools,"left-behind" situational ported Zhangdian left-behind students from the authority suppressing environment to a relatively free growing atmosphere. On one hand,"freedom" inspires the socialization autonomy of Zhangdian left-behind students; on the other hand it weakens its socialization normative in some extent. Zhangdian left-behind students careened, running wantonly on unattended grasslands of the mass media, this wanton act violates the seriousness and rigor of students’socialization, and it is inevitable chilling how much negative impact the mixed media world will have on these inexperienced left-behind children.Second, changes in the way of socialization:from real interaction to virtual interaction. The Zhangdian left-behind students shrouded in the haze of the media, they acquire everything about growth and outside world from the spread of media, grasping the latest information quickly, understanding new things to promote the reverse socialization development in the left-behind region. Whereas the agenda of the media is not exclusively set for the Zhangdian left-behind students, who should filter those outdated information, excessive entertainment, hypocritical hype for them? Who will defend them after being influenced by this information?Third, shorten of socialization gap:from left-behind to a sense of group belonging. Generally, the products and use of the media will not selectively disseminate according to the level of audience status. Living in the same environment makes up the gap of Zhangdian left-behind students’socialization development. The media grants no difference in the students’socialization, which means the rural and the urban, the left-behind and the non-left-behind receive same media messages. However.there are obvious differences between individuals receiving and digestive process. Urban students contact the media earlier than rural counterparts, so they have stronger ability to adapt media, and they can face the media more reasonable with interference, supervision and education from parents and schools, which is unmatchable to Zhangdian counterparts.In order to further weaken and overcome the negative impact of the mass media has on left-behind students’socialization, the researcher reflects the problems above, meaningful analyzes the urgency and feasibility of current rural students’media literacy education according to own support education experience in Zhangdian secondary school, carries out and practices the recommendations of conducting the public education in the rural areas of the rural left-behind students’normal socialization. |
