Study On The Female College Students’ Values Education

Nowadays the values of some female university students are worrying. Lack of life aspiration, they tend to put family above their career, indulge themselves in hedonism and money-worship. They are keen on beauty contests, dreaming to be rich and successful overnight. As the soul of man, values serve as the driven force and direction of man’s life. Wrong values are likely to lead to improper behaviors harmful to the female university students and the society alike. Hence it is imperative that higher education educator should rethink the effectiveness of their value education on the university students. Good value education should make the university students accept and approve from their bottom of heart the tenet that their value is embodied in their labor or the value they create, rather than in the material tags they apply to themselves. Whether the university education has substantial influence on the students depends on whether university students has internalized that tenet and make it their standard of behavior. Whereas, the above-mentioned phenomenon reflects the low efficiency and drawback of the value education on the university students, which fails to guide the students to establish correct values so that the female university students demonstrate distorted values in the face of temptation. Therefore, the study of the value education on female university students is of high urgency.Feminist education views education from the unique perspective of women as a group, which differs from traditional male point of view. Combining feminist education with the values of female university students, it uses feminist education viewpoints to study the values of female university students. By referring to the feminist education viewpoints, it can improve the effectiveness of the value education on female university students, complement the current education concept’s deficiency in breadth and depth, and enhance the research value of current research on values.This paper consists of four parts. Part one sorts out the main content of feminist views on education which includes educational objective, curriculum arrangement and roles of teachers and students. Part two discusses the problems of current values held by female university students, as well as the problems of current value education, which include the belated change of concept, the ignorance of female university students’dominant role, the overemphasis of collectivism indifferent to university students’ individual value, the insubstantial characteristic of educational content with no attention to unique traits of female university students, the educational method’s overemphasis on theory infusion rather than practice, and the value education environment with no gender difference. Part three analyzes the reason for the low efficiency of value education from feminist education perspective and from school, social and individual aspects. Part four puts forward some solutions to the problems, which include introducing feminist education concept, setting clear value education objectives, precisely grasping the value education content, adopting feminist educational method and improving the educational and cultural environment of value education on female university students.
