Outdoor sports and teenagers' moral education

Abstract

The socio-economic development and growth in the living standard in our country not only creates the wonderful condition for the development of teenagers but also multiplies laziness. What's more, the negative impact brought by the examination-oriented education system fails to improve the teenagers' health and psychological quality. So, it is significant for us to try to use "tribulation" or "frustration" to exert an influence on the moral cultivation of the teenagers and the best way to do so is the outdoor sports. This article uses the method of comparative analysis and deductive reasoning to analyze the moral function and effect of the outdoor activity. The conclusions we arrive at are as follows: the outdoor activities can promote the healthy development of the teenagers both physically and mentally. It is suggested that the teachers adopt the flexible and various educational method in order to give the teenagers the moral education in entertaining activities. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
