The purpose of education is to cultivate people with harmonious development of knowledge and attitude, and complete unification of reason and emotion. However, the phenomenon of valuing knowledge over morality and separating knowledge from morality still exists in practice. Morality is necessary for human's complete development and harmonious happiness. However, the materialization, cultural secularization and value diversification at the social level lead to the moral crisis of contemporary college students. The effect of moral education in vocational colleges is not significant, the moral awareness of art and design teachers is weak, the ability to explore moral resources is insufficient, and the integration degree of art and design courses with moral education is not high. Strengthening the moral education construction of art design courses in higher vocational colleges is a strategic measure to carry out the fundamental task of cultivating talents in the field of art in colleges and universities, and also an important task to comprehensively improve the quality of talent training, which gives art education a new research horizon and era connotation.
This paper focuses on the exploration and transformation of moral education resources in the implementation of art design courses in higher vocational colleges, and focuses on the difficulties and causes of insufficient allocation, inadequate mining and insufficient transformation of moral education resources, as well as the paths and strategies for further improvement and promotion, so as to give full play to the education function of these courses in cultivating morality and enriching heart, promote higher vocational students to become talented and skilled in the new era.
Under the aesthetic theory and virtue ethics theory, this thesis deeply explores the moral education resources in the art and design courses of higher vocational colleges. Through interviews and questionnaires, it focuses on the status quo, problems and causes of the exploration and transformation of moral education resources of art design majors in five higher vocational colleges in Changzhou, Jiangsu province.On this basis, the author tries to put forward the basic path and main strategy of the exploration and transformation of moral education resources of art and design majors in higher vocational colleges.Finally,the course "Fashion Fiber Art" of Art design major of F University in Changzhou was selected for action research, which was carried out through spiral improvement methods such as Plan, Act, Observe, Reflect and Re-plan, and went deeply into the art classroom teaching scene of higher vocational colleges. And also it explores the real state of moral education resources mining and transformation of art design professional courses, and collects diversified materials, such as classroom observation, interview, audio recording and video recording, analyzes the difficulties and challenges encountered by teachers and students in the action research, coping strategies and implementation effects.
This study draws the following conclusions: (1) Through the investigation of the current situation of moral education of art and design major courses in higher vocational colleges, it is found that, first of all, the exploration and transformation of moral education resources of art and design major courses in higher vocational colleges are not sufficient, and moral education plays a relatively low role in teaching under the traditional education mode; Secondly, many art teachers can not effectively integrate moral education concepts into professional courses because of lacking professional knowledge and methods of moral education teaching. Moreover, the cultivation of moral consciousness and quality of art students needs effective guidance and training, but there are some problems in reality, such as insufficient exploration and transformation of moral education resources. (2) In the process of moral education teaching of art and design professional courses, teachers are faced with some challenges such as limited access to moral education resources, lack of relevant training and lack of effective evaluation mechanism. At the same time, students' diversified moral needs, low acceptance of moral education courses and the lack of norms of behavior also constitute difficulties. (3) Through the consideration of teachers, students, management and external environment and other aspects, it is found that teachers' professional quality, moral education cognition level and moral education curriculum design ability play a key role in resource exploration and transformation. Students' moral literacy, learning motivation and attitude are also one of the influencing factors. Management's policy support for moral education and the construction of organizational environment will also directly affect the development and utilization of resources. (4) How to dig deeply into moral education resources and effectively transform them has become an urgent problem to be solved in the professional courses of art design. Fundamentally speaking, it is necessary to clarify teachers' understanding, change teachers' attitude, form the wisdom of educating people, explore and transform the moral education resources of the curriculum, apply the law of "educational teaching", constantly explore the new model of moral education of the curriculum, and finally realize the purpose of moral education of the curriculum.
Through the mode of action research, the teachers act as practitioners, also as participants and researchers, jointly explore feasible paths for the exploration and transformation of curriculum moral education resources for art and design majors in higher vocational colleges, which helps to clarify the cognition of art teachers on curriculum moral education and improve their ability to explore and transform curriculum moral education resources. Give full play to the moral education function of art and design professional courses, inspire goodness with beauty, enrich morality with beauty, realize the simultaneous drive of moral and value guidance and scientific and cultural knowledge, and promote the deep integration of aesthetic education and moral education.
