recently, nanjing university of communication opened a public elective course called "college student life guide" for students in the new semester. the course content includes "specific procedures for medical treatment in the hospital", "basic logic of cooking", "precautions for renting a house" and other common sense of life. generate attention. the instructor responded that the original intention of this course was to teach everyone to live a good life.
life knowledge classes are popular precisely because they hit the pain points of college students. many people live alone away from their parents for the first time until college, breaking away from the state of "not hearing anything outside the window" and focusing on studying. at this time, they have little contact with society, and basic common sense of life and social operations may be very unfamiliar to them. various seemingly simple and trivial but difficult-to-avoid worries and confusions, such as financial management, medical treatment, and renting a house, often make many college students feel deeply anxious.
at the same time, the information in various channels is now very complicated, and it is almost impossible to get systematic and professional answers to the many questions of college students in terms of common sense of life. in particular, it is difficult for students who have just left their families to distinguish right from wrong and maintain their composure. they can easily be deceived, causing financial losses and mental harm. if college classes can provide college students with authoritative and reliable "life guides" in addition to professional knowledge, it will certainly make them more confident and confident when entering society. in order for college students to be able to cope with various life challenges freely and fulfill their family and social responsibilities in the future, they all rely on the professional training and comprehensive quality cultivation provided by colleges and universities. in this regard, social knowledge literacy courses are a very good form.
recently, in response to the various challenges and difficulties that college students may face in life, many colleges and universities have tried to offer courses such as love courses, life knowledge courses, general legal courses, financial management courses, and health literacy courses, which are very popular among college students and are frequently used. there is a situation of "a lesson is hard to find". however, the current social knowledge literacy courses are all explored and designed by colleges and universities on their own, lacking a complete and systematic curriculum system. there are still problems such as the relevant courses are relatively scattered, some content designs are out of touch with needs, the quality of the courses is uneven, and the continuity of the courses is questionable.
therefore, the education authorities may wish to consider directly facing the needs of students and formulating course guidance catalogues, content outlines, teaching standards, etc. for reference by colleges and universities in various places. colleges and universities can combine their own characteristics, listen extensively to students' opinions, speed up the implementation of institutional construction, and improve the social literacy curriculum system. in addition, diversified teaching forms can also be adopted to encourage teachers to lead college students to form various community groups and guide college students to master relevant social life knowledge and skills through communication and practice.
in any case, the "life guide" course is a useful attempt to adapt to students' practical needs. i look forward to more colleges and universities joining the ranks of exploring social knowledge literacy courses. i also hope that such courses can be improved day by day, implemented in practice, and truly become a help for college students to live independently and move into society.
