| To cultivate one’s moral character,to cultivate one’s family,to rule one’s country,and to pacify the world is the supreme standard of Chinese responsibility.With the rise of China,the image as a responsible great nation standing in the forest of the world,citizens should also internalize this great nation’s role as the cultivation of responsibility.In recent years China has increasingly emphasized the importance of moral education.The cultivation of any achievement or quality cannot be achieved overnight,especially the cultivation of the sense of responsibility.Therefore,the purpose of this study is to investigate the research related to learning responsibility,to develop a suitable theoretical foundation among junior high school students’ learning responsibility,then to apply it to practice.Aiming to design a group counseling program that can be applied to junior high school students,and make sure the quality of junior high school students’ learning responsibility can be cultivated and enhanced effectivelyAfter analyzing the current situation of junior high school students’ learning responsibility,we developed a group counselling program with the theme of improving junior high school students’ learning responsibility.In this project,260 junior high school students from Y school in Nanchang,Jiangxi province were contained as the subjects.Meanwhile a questionnaire named the Learning Responsibility Questionnaire for Secondary School Students was selected as the instrument,which compiled by Zhang Ning,was administered to collect data.The SPSS software was used to analyse the data and its results showed that:(1)Middle school students have a good level of learning responsibility.(2)There is no significant gender difference in the overall level of learning responsibility among junior high school students(3)The level of learning responsibility among junior high school students differed significantly according to their family upbringing,with students with authoritative upbringing having a higher level and those with coddling upbringing having a lower level.This project included 45 junior high school students,who were participated in the group counseling program through voluntary recruitment.They were split into three groups,each group contains 15 members,named respectively as experimental group 1,experimental group 2 and control group.The experimental design of pre and post test was adopted for each group.For Experiment group 1,eight sessions of group therapy intervention were done and recorded for 60 minutes each time.Experiment group 2 received eight mental health education sessions,while the control group was not given any intervention.The Learning Responsibility Questionnaire for Middle School Students was used to examine the effect of the group counseling intervention on middle school students’ degree of learning responsibility.The results of the study showed that:(1)Before the group counselling intervention,there was no significant difference in the scores of the learning responsibility questionnaire among the members of the three groups(P > 0.05),therefore,there was no significant difference in the level of learning responsibility.(2)After the group counselling intervention in Experiment group 1,the level of learning responsibility has significantly increased;since the general mental health course intervention in Experiment group 2,there was an increase in the level of learning responsibility but it did not reach a significant level(p>0.05);before and after the trial,there shows no substantial difference in the control group’s level of learning responsibility.(3)After the group counselling intervention,the level of academic responsibility in the Experiment 1 group was significantly different from the post test level of the Experiment 2 group as well as the post test level of the control groupIt can be concluded that the learning responsibility interventions of this study worked well for the students in junior high school,which indicating that the targeted group counselling programme was effective. |
