小学高年级英语教学渗透心理健康教育的困境与策略——基于两所小学的调研

Challenges and Strategies in Integrating Mental Health Education into English Language Teaching in Upper Primary Grades—A Case Study of Two Primary Schools

摘要: 心理健康教育在小学高年级英语教学中的渗透是实现学科育人的重要途径。以重庆市忠县两所小学的高年级英语教师为调研对象，采用问卷调查与半结构化访谈相结合的方法，从教材使用、课堂氛围、教师素养、教学方式、教师评价五个维度考察心理健康教育的渗透现状。调查发现，教师对教材中心理健康教育元素的挖掘不够深入、课堂气氛不够活跃、部分教师自身心理健康状况不理想、教学方式单一、评价方式单调。这些问题的成因主要包括应试导向下教师过度关注知识点传授、课堂互动缺乏、教师心理支持渠道缺失、时间与资源限制、评价操作的便利性偏好等。基于此，建议挖掘教材心理元素、营造和谐课堂氛围、提升教师心理素养、改进教学方式方法、完善评价机制，以期为小学高年级英语教学有效融合心理健康教育提供实践参考。

Abstract: Integrating mental health education into English teaching in upper primary grades is a vital pathway to achieving subject-based character cultivation. Taking upper primary English teachers from two schools in Zhong County, Chongqing as the research subjects, this study adopted a combination of questionnaire survey and semi-structured interview to examine the current status of mental health education integration from five dimensions: textbook utilization, classroom atmosphere, teacher competence, teaching methods, and teacher evaluation. The survey found that teachers inadequately excavate the mental health elements from textbooks, the classroom atmosphere is not lively enough, some teachers exhibit suboptimal psychological well-being, teaching methods remain monotonous, and evaluation methods are overly simplistic. The main causes of these problems include teachers’ excessive focus on knowledge instruction under the examination-oriented orientation, lack of classroom interaction, absence of mental health support channels for teachers, time and resource constraints, and preference for convenient evaluation methods. Based on these findings, it is suggested to explore mental health elements in textbooks, create a harmonious classroom atmosphere, improve teachers’ mental health competence, diversify teaching methods, and refine evaluation mechanisms, so as to provide practical references for the effective integration of mental health education into English teaching in the upper grades of primary schools.
