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. They are very popular among college students, and it is often difficult to find a course.
Host’s words
The life skills courses, health and wellness courses, and love psychology courses offered by colleges and universities are very popular among students. This reflects that young students pay more attention to basic life skills, interpersonal skills, health and safety literacy, and emotional and psychological knowledge in addition to their daily studies. In this regard, schools should provide rational guidance. Schools should not only disseminate knowledge, but also improve students' life and labor skills to adapt to the development of society and the needs of future work. Education should shape the soul, shape life, and shape new people. Education should not only develop intelligence, enhance physical fitness, and temper will, but also cultivate perfect personality and help college students realize their self-worth and better enjoy life.
Life knowledge class allows everyone’s “little confusion” to be seen
Xie Siyang (2022 master’s student at Guangming w88 casino of Journalism and Communication, China University of Political Science and Law)
In recent years, many colleges and universities have launched a series of social literacy courses to improve college students' ability to live independently, alleviate their "growing pains" and reduce their "confusion when they first enter society." In the past two years, many short video bloggers have made such attempts, summarizing life experience, popularizing life knowledge, and teaching everyone step by step about trivial things that are usually inconspicuous, and they are also very popular among fans. Everything is difficult at the beginning. For people who live alone in a foreign land, these subtle "invisible" embarrassments and uneasiness accumulate into people's confusion about how to change their current situation.
The rapidly changing social life model has brought more uncertainty to today's college students. This change directly affects their expectations for the future and their own plans, and increases the anxiety of college students. These general knowledge courses create an inclusive context that allows students to express vulnerability and discomfort, share shame and sadness, and reach self-reconciliation in a relaxed and kind environment: "feeling embarrassed" is not just your problem, and "integration" and "independence" are not as difficult as imagined.
Everyone wants to be respected and seen. The life knowledge class allows these insignificant moments and once-neglected needs to be seen, so that students can feel that they are "seen" and "respected", and then they can also actively "see" the situation of others, and instead care about the feelings and experiences of those around them, and adopt a more proactive attitude towards life. Perhaps college students can find the confidence and starting point to face unknown difficulties and challenges from this "life encyclopedia" - starting from small things step by step, life does not seem to be that difficult.
General knowledge classes help students become “little experts in life”
Xin Yingying (2023 master’s student at the w88 casino of Marxism, w88 casino)
In recent years, many colleges and universities have responded to the needs of students and opened some "life guide" courses, including open love classes, life knowledge classes, financial knowledge courses, etc. Behind college students' love and pursuit of general knowledge courses is their desire for life skills. College students are eager to master basic first aid measures, medical procedures, cooking skills, renting precautions and other knowledge, hoping to better adapt to independent living. The popularity of this type of general knowledge class is like a "timely rain" that accurately captures the hearts of students who are about to enter society. It can be said to be the "navigator" for college students to spread their wings for the first time and soar independently in the sky of life. The college period is a transit point and transitional period for leaving the family and entering society. Whether it is the trivial matters of daily life, the confusion of the first experience in the workplace, the delicate balance of health and safety, or the complex and changeable social relationships, college students often feel confused. In the era of information explosion, the network is complex and difficult to distinguish between true and false. The joke "Don't use Baidu if you don't feel well" reflects the frustration of college students who are unable to obtain authoritative and professional answers when faced with common sense questions in life.
Behind the "hard-to-get" general knowledge courses are college students' yearning to become experts in life. Students have a special trust in the classroom. Compared with the noisy voice of the Internet, they are more willing to put their ears close to the teacher's podium, because what is transmitted there is not only knowledge, but also the precipitation that has been polished over the years. Everyone also hopes to be comprehensively cultivated and learn the rules, methods of planning, and the art of life. Professional knowledge is the sword, and comprehensive quality is the shield. Only by combining the two can they be as comfortable as the wind in the future.
We would like to see colleges and universities offering diversified “life guide” courses
Zhang Shengtong (2021 undergraduate student from the w88 casino of Safety Engineering, Beijing Institute of Petrochemical Technology)
With the frequent emergence of Internet hot words such as "crispy college students" and "clear-eyed college students", college students' needs for strengthening physical exercise and supplementing their life knowledge have become increasingly prominent. The emergence of life knowledge courses has filled the vacancies for college students in addition to intellectual learning, and also reflects the w88 casino's emphasis on students' needs. It must be said that the "life guide" course is a useful attempt to adapt to the development of the times.
In high w88 casino, students focus mainly on study and have relatively little contact with society. This results in their lack of basic common sense understanding of how society operates. After entering university, college students not only have to learn knowledge, but also begin to gradually get in touch with society. At this time, they will find that they lack a lot of necessary life knowledge. Although information spreads extremely rapidly in modern society, the quality and accuracy of information vary. For college students, in terms of common sense of life, it is difficult to filter out systematic, professional and accurate content from the massive amount of information. Information on the Internet is often fragmented and difficult to distinguish between true and false, which prevents them from obtaining more systematic guidance when facing life problems.
The establishment of rich and colorful "life guide" courses is very meaningful. These courses can be said to involve all aspects of life. For example, the establishment of health literacy courses can help college students develop good living habits. The precautions for signing a rental contract, the process of registering for medical treatment, and the medical insurance reimbursement process are all practical problems that college students need to face after entering society alone. Some colleges and universities offer courses that can help college students improve their ability to live independently. For most college students who are managing a large amount of money independently for the first time, financial management courses can help students establish correct consumption concepts and avoid falling into consumption traps.
In general, the launch of life knowledge courses in colleges and universities is a brave attempt to develop quality education. It also looks at problems from the perspective of students and solves problems for students with heart and soul. With the development of society, the requirements for talent capabilities are also constantly increasing. People who only master book knowledge and know nothing about other aspects cannot meet the needs of the job market. I believe that with more life knowledge reserves, college students will be more confident when entering society.
