What are the strategies to cultivate children's attention? 1. Cultivate children's attention and make full use of their curiosity.
Many examples have proved that strong, curious and dynamic objects can attract children's attention most. Singing birthday cakes, jumping frogs, walking dolls and other toys can stimulate children's curiosity and make them concentrate on observation and play. Parents can buy some similar toys for their children to train them to concentrate. Especially for children before the age of 3, this method is the most ideal and effective. In addition, children can be brought to play in a new environment. For example, take the child to the park and show him some charming landscapes such as flowers, grass and buildings of different shapes that he has never seen before. Take the children to the zoo to see some interesting animals. And use their curiosity about new things to cultivate their attention.
Second, to cultivate children's attention, we should pay attention to their interests.
No matter who you are, when you are doing something that interests you, you will always be very devoted and dedicated, and so will your children. Children's attention and interest are closely related. Direct interest is the source of children's unintentional attention, and children's attention is influenced by interest. They are not only easy to concentrate on the activities and games they are interested in, but also can keep it for a long time. For example, children are interested in monkeys. They can concentrate on observing the monkey's every move, walking and eating for a long time, and they can find or gain some real knowledge in the process of paying attention. On the contrary, if children are exposed to a lot of book knowledge before entering school and find that the teacher is teaching what they are familiar with after entering the classroom, then most children will involuntarily lose their concentration and look around. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the cultivation of children's broad interests with the cultivation of attention. In short, cultivating a good mood and eliminating bad emotions plays an important role in the cultivation of attention.
Third, cultivate children's attention and encourage them to actively participate in game activities.
Games are the most suitable activities for children's physical and mental development, and they are also children's favorite activities. In the game, children are not only happy and interested, but also in a state of positive psychological activities, often with clear goals and tasks, so it is easy for children to concentrate during the game.
1. Cultivate children's attention by parents and children reading intellectual training books.
Some pictures and texts to exercise observation, attention and memory, such as walking in a maze, looking for things in a lot of pictures, looking for similarities and differences (looking for differences in the same, looking for similarities in the different), comparing the sizes, remembering the items in a page of pictures within a specified time, and then closing the book for her to report. Wait a minute. Don't take too long, but you can extend the practice time later. You must practice every day. Do the right thing, reward or score five stars.
Step 2 grab the phone number
The phone book can be used as a game tool. Parents show her a second or two to remember someone's number, then take the number book away and let her recite it. Two people can take turns to recite it and see who is better.
3. Tell children stories and read stories
When telling stories, you should always communicate with your children with eyes, posture and language, and you can also let your children participate in telling stories in the form of questions. Or take a story book and the parents read it to her until they find that the child can't concentrate, and immediately announce that "the story is here today and will continue tomorrow." With the extension of listening to stories and the improvement of attention, it can be developed to let children listen to story tapes. Other forms of activities can also be carried out in a similar way.
Fourth, to cultivate children's attention should follow the law of children's attention.
The cultivation of children's attention must follow the development law of children's attention, organize activities reasonably and cooperate with various effective measures in order to achieve good results. For example, according to the characteristics of children's unintentional attention, game activities are the main ones. In the game, teaching AIDS should be vivid, novel and colorful. These are all good ways to attract children's attention.
When organizing children's activities, it should be noted that if an activity is simply for children's listening, then over time, children will inevitably get bored and their attention will inevitably be distracted. So in the process of activities, try to join the children's operation. Children's operating activities, the teacher's instructions to children are often single and clear, so children will be happy to accept. On the other hand, when I see others actively doing it, I will also devote myself to the activity.
Fifth, to cultivate children's attention, it is necessary to establish a regular life and study system.
Poor health and irregular work and rest are two important factors that distract attention and affect the effect of attention. To this end, we must let children study and live regularly, ensure that children get enough sleep, get up, eat and sleep on time. At the same time, children should be encouraged to actively participate in sports activities, enhance their physical fitness, regulate the function of the nervous system, and lay a good physiological foundation for the development of attention. Attention is also manifested in people's daily life and labor process. Using daily activities and various kinds of labor to cultivate children's attention can not only improve the purpose and comprehensiveness of children's attention, but also improve their practical ability and form a good habit of actively participating in labor. Therefore, it is necessary for older children to help with some housework that requires great attention. Such as sweeping the floor, picking vegetables, washing dishes and chopsticks.
When studying, we must pay attention to creating a good environment. Children are often distracted by irrelevant stimuli. Therefore, it is necessary to remove things that may distract attention from the environment and isolate all external "stimuli" as much as possible. For example, in music class, the placement of piano position, the movement of people inside and outside the classroom, and the vivid image and moderate size of teaching AIDS give children strong stimulation.
There are obvious individual differences in the development of children's attention, and there are many ways to cultivate children's concentration, and their specific implementation methods are not the same. Parents can take appropriate measures to train and cultivate their children's concentration according to the characteristics of their children's concentration development in a planned and purposeful way. As long as you adopt a scientific method and attitude and work hard, you will surely succeed.
What are the strategies to cultivate children's attention? The cultivation of children's attention is a very important thing, which is related to the development of children's intelligence and affects the effect of children's learning. In particular, the attention of large-class children directly affects their physical and mental development and academic performance after entering school. I constantly explore strategies to cultivate children's attention in my work, mainly from the following four aspects.
First, design an introduction that can attract children's attention.
Comenius, a famous Czech educator, said: "At the beginning of teaching, teachers either arouse children's interest or explain the materials they want to talk about, or encourage children to systematically talk about the current materials by asking them what they have said in the past, or make children feel ignorant of the new textbooks, so they listen to the teachers explain the contents of various subjects with interest." This sentence illustrates one point: a good lead-in is conducive to strengthening children's attention. For example, before you know something, introduce the topic by guessing, so that children will be very interested. Before showing the picture, cover it with a cloth, then ask some questions to test the child, sell it, and then open the cloth after the child answers, so that the child's interest will be strong, his mood will be high, and his attention will of course be concentrated.
Second, cultivate children's attention in game activities.
Preschool children's activities are mainly games, and children's activities should be cultivated in games and gradually trained in games. If a child can't concentrate on playing games, how can he concentrate on reading and studying in primary school in the future? So, how to cultivate children's attention in the game? First of all, we must ensure enough game time, and don't interrupt the children's game activities at will during the children's game. Secondly, don't supply too many toys to children. If you provide too many toys at a time, your child's interest will keep shifting. We only need to provide a few toys for children to play in each game activity, put most of them away, change them after a while, keep children's interests in the same direction for a while, and then give them new stimulation to develop the habit of concentration. Games play the most important role in music activities. Music education is carried out through games, so that children can experience the same feelings as "playing", voluntarily, tirelessly and unconsciously participate in activities, perceive music in the process of singing, jumping, playing and patting, and satisfy various sentiments and good personality emotions in interesting game-based music activities.
Third, combine the cultivation of children's interest and attention.
Interest is the best teacher. No matter who is doing what he is interested in, he will always be devoted and focused, and so will the children. If children are exposed to too much book knowledge before entering the park, and after entering the park, they find that the teachers are teaching what they are familiar with, then most children will wander around involuntarily, look around and make some small moves. In life, you often see some children who are always coping or absent-minded when doing something according to their parents' requirements, but they can concentrate on what they are interested in. For young children, their attention is directly controlled by interest and emotion to a certain extent. Therefore, we should pay attention to combining the cultivation of children's extensive interests with the cultivation of attention. To cultivate children's interest, we should take the way of induction to stimulate. For example, to cultivate children's interest in literacy, we can take advantage of the characteristics that children like stories and buy some picture story books with text prompts for children. Let children read books while listening to stories. Tell them that these beautiful stories are written in books, which will arouse their interest in literacy, and then know some simple hieroglyphics, so that their attention can be cultivated in interesting literacy activities. Interest is the main condition for generating and maintaining attention. The stronger a child's interest in things, the easier it is to form a stable and focused attention.
Fourth, the teacher's posture, expression, language, voice and other important factors that affect children's attention.
Body language can express emotions better than spoken language, especially for young children. The main reasons are: First, for young children, actions are easier to understand than words. A teacher's smile, a thumbs-up gesture, nodding and so on can make children feel the teacher's care, encouragement, expectation and affirmation better than words. Second, children need physical contact. Children's skin and muscles are thirsty, and adults' hands can meet the needs. Physical skin contact is conducive to stabilizing children's emotions, making them feel warm and safe, and eliminating tension. Body language is not only a means for teachers to communicate with children by using body language, but also a positive and effective affirmation of children's activities by teachers using non-verbal means such as gestures, postures, expressions and body movements. This affirmation goes far beyond the scope of words and gives children great confidence. From their own point of view, it inhibits their habit of inattention, arbitrariness and lack of persistence. Let children get more satisfaction and encouragement while feeling warm and affectionate. Cultivate their self-control and promote the healthy development of personality. For example, the voice is relatively loud, giving the impression that this person has enough confidence; On the contrary, it is weak. However, in the face of low-level children, what they often need in class is a lively and passionate atmosphere in which they will actively participate in teaching activities. The teacher's loud voice will stimulate children's senses and make them feel that the teacher is full of passion. But this kind of passion is most easily infected, and it is easier to concentrate children's attention. Some teachers are too quiet in class and have some inappropriate behaviors, which easily distract children's attention. Therefore, teachers, externally, should be trained or guided by others until children can accept them.
Through research, I found that to apply the above teaching skills freely, we should not only have certain educational psychology and rich scientific knowledge, but also constantly exercise ourselves in the teaching process to raise the attention of organizing and cultivating children to a new height. In daily life education, there are many ways to cultivate children's attention, and the specific implementation methods are not the same. According to the characteristics of children's age development, training can be carried out in a planned and purposeful way to cultivate children's attention according to local conditions.
What are the strategies to cultivate children's attention? 1. Cultivating students' interest is one of the strategies and methods to cultivate students' attention.
Why are some students not paying attention in class? This shows that students are not interested in your class, so students will be distracted. In order to firmly attract students' attention in the classroom, our first task is to cultivate students' interest in the classroom. We all know that interest is the best teacher for students. For students to learn music, interest is the golden key for students to open the music hall, and it is also their vigorous wings to roam the music world.
In music class, teachers should create a relaxed, happy and lively learning atmosphere for students, guide students to carry out colorful activities, give students as much space as possible to develop their potential, and make every student's thinking in a positive and active state. Teachers should constantly "try" to cultivate students' interest in class, so as to attract students' attention all the time. Practice teaching proves that as long as teachers are good at stimulating students' classroom interest, students' thinking will be very active, their desire for learning will be enhanced, they will take the initiative to participate in classroom teaching activities, and students will easily and happily solve problems encountered in learning music.
1, carefully introduced to cultivate students' interest.
As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle", so is music class. As a link in the teaching process, lead-in directly affects the success or failure of the whole classroom to a great extent, and is also the key to attract students' attention. In teaching, I always consider every link in teaching from multiple angles, at multiple levels and in all directions. According to different songs and different characteristics, I adopt various lead-in methods to firmly attract students from the beginning of a class and achieve the expected goal of "attractive and fascinating".
According to the characteristics of teaching materials and students, I often use story import, riddle import, conversation import, appreciation import, multimedia import, emotion import and interest import. Students will want to know what to learn next because of my wonderful introduction. Do what? Let students have the desire to learn knowledge, and students will want to know what to learn next because of my wonderful introduction. Do what? In this way, students' desire for learning and thirst for knowledge will be enhanced. I use students' existing interests and desires in time to skillfully guide students into the next learning session. It can be seen that the wonderful design can strongly attract students' attention, stimulate students' interest and desire in learning music, make students enter the learning state quickly and actively at the beginning of the new class, create a good start for the new class and improve the efficiency of classroom teaching.
2. Create effective situations to cultivate students' interest.
Music Curriculum Standard clearly points out that an important goal of music teaching is to stimulate students' interest in learning. Situational teaching is one of the important means to achieve this goal. Good classroom teaching environment can help students better listen to the psychological state of music, fully mobilize their audio-visual senses, stimulate their imagination, exercise their thinking, and let students learn music with interest.
In the usual teaching work, in addition to preparing each class, we should also be good at understanding students' psychology and their ideas. What do you like to do? Then, according to the characteristics of students, create a teaching situation suitable for students' characteristics and the characteristics of teaching content, so as to activate students' knowledge-seeking thinking, make the best use of the situation, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and let students get aesthetic pleasure in the artistic atmosphere and learn music happily and easily.
For example, when I was teaching Snowflake in the second grade music class, I was instructing students how to sing this song with emotion, so I created a teaching situation to guide them: "Students, we have learned to sing this song, and then the teacher will take you to feel the Snowflake in the song. Please close your eyes." At this time, after the students closed their eyes, I blew a lot of bubbles all over the classroom, and then asked the students to open their eyes. The students saw little bubbles flying around in the classroom. Everyone is very excited and surprised. Cheers resounded through the classroom. The students can't help catching the falling bubbles with their hands. Some students looked up and counted the bubbles in the air!
Under such circumstances, in such a mood, I promptly guide students to sing with their existing mood, and students quickly understand what I said, and then sing consciously and enthusiastically. Students can easily understand the emotional treatment of songs in this pleasant atmosphere. Sometimes teachers don't need too much words and time in teaching to guide students to learn music, understand music and feel music. We only need to combine the characteristics of courses and students to create effective teaching situations, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. In this way, teachers and students will be harmonious in class, and students will be interested in the situation created by the teacher.
3. Strive for effective teaching activities and cultivate students' interest.
Suhomlinski said: "Music education is not to train musicians, but to train people first. Therefore, children should be given opportunities to express themselves, with the aim of developing their personality and creativity. Teachers are only providers and encouragers of knowledge materials. Only in the optimized classroom teaching activities can students be interested in music. With interest, even the most boring and difficult music knowledge and skills can be easily mastered by students in a pleasant atmosphere. For example, my second-year rhythm teaching, rhythm learning is a bit difficult for second-year students.
In learning, repeated boring training makes them feel bored and easily leads to distraction. In view of this phenomenon, I made such an attempt in rhythm teaching. In combination with students' special interest in percussion instruments, I set up a teaching activity of "I am a small expert in musical instruments". In each rhythm learning training class, when they learn rhythm as a whole, I will let them take turns to try to beat the rhythm they just learned with musical instruments, as long as anyone can beat it with percussion instruments. Through this kind of teaching activity, it helps students to master the rhythm.
When they find that they don't master the rhythm accurately enough, I will encourage them to continue their efforts, strengthen repeated practice and repeated attempts, and strive to become the master of musical instruments next time. Students will also work hard for this goal. In order to have this instrument, everyone actively participates in teaching activities, learning and training, which is also beneficial for teachers to check students' mastery of rhythm. Practical knowledge and effective teaching activities can promote students' motivation to learn music, stimulate students' interest and focus their attention on learning music, which is also an effective way to cultivate students' attention.
4. Take incentive measures to cultivate students' interest.
There is a saying: "Children grow up with praise". In teaching, I will seize every opportunity to give students proper encouragement and praise naturally and in time. Because in the teaching process, the teacher's every move to the students will affect the students' psychology and interest. Therefore, in class, no matter whether the students' performances are wonderful or not, as long as the students participate in music activities, I will give them praise and encouragement in time, which is a great encouragement and appreciation for the students, and at the same time stimulate their desire for music performances and enthusiasm for participating in music activities.
My encouragement to students is sometimes a look of approval, a word of encouragement and praise, a small gift and so on. These encouraging ways can make students feel concerned, enough to make them active, and reveal moving, happy and satisfied information from their eyes. In this case, students' attention will be activated in time, and the next learning task will be easily accepted.
5. Use multimedia to stimulate students' interest.
Modern multimedia technology combines the advantages of various thinking teaching methods and is a golden key to improve the quality of music teaching. Therefore, multimedia assistance is one of the indispensable and important teaching methods in teaching. The combination of multimedia images and sounds is helpful to stimulate students' interest in learning music, promote students' strong learning motivation, and attract students' attention, so as to better understand abstract music knowledge, music situation, music image and so on.
In teaching, I will use multimedia to guide students to understand, experience and feel music knowledge according to the characteristics of the course. For example, when learning skip sign (▼) and hyphen sign (⌒), I use multimedia animation settings to vividly show these two musical symbols, so that students can directly experience the characteristics and singing methods of these two symbols from vivid animation;
In the process of entering Beijing Opera, I let students directly feel and distinguish the role of the profession in Beijing Opera through the sound and pictures of the media, broaden their horizons, enhance their interest in learning music, and improve their ability to understand and appreciate music. In teaching, I will also use multimedia to stimulate students' interest and broaden their horizons according to the characteristics of the course. For example, learn about local culture, customs, folk customs, beautiful scenery and some videos and pictures related to teaching materials. Therefore, the rational use of multimedia teaching will also help students broaden their musical horizons and improve their ability to understand music.
Second, flexible use of various teaching methods is the second strategy and method to cultivate students' attention.
There is a saying that "there is a teaching method, there is no teaching method, and the important thing is the proper method", so each teaching method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In teaching, I will flexibly choose teaching methods according to the characteristics of teaching materials, the difficulty of courses, the acceptance of students and the age and characteristics of students in our school, and encourage students to participate in classroom teaching activities, thus cultivating students' attention. My most commonly used teaching methods are:
1, game teaching method
Game teaching method is to let students learn music through games, organize students to participate in games, and gain happiness and music knowledge and skills from games. Game teaching method is the most popular among students. Students can learn music knowledge and songs easily and happily by playing games. Especially junior students, their understanding ability is poor, their attention is not easy to concentrate, they are tired of learning when they encounter problems, and it is difficult to stick to a class until the end. Therefore, in teaching, I must create some game activities to guide students to learn while playing games, to guide junior students to learn and understand music, and to let them learn while playing. For example, in the appreciation class of "The Blacksmith in the Forest" in the second grade, in order to let students know the two basic rhythms of beating iron in music (the rhythm of small hammer: 0 ×××× |× 0 |, and the rhythm of big hammer: 0 ×××××× 0 |), I designed the game "I am a small blacksmith", and I took out toy hammers of all sizes.
Let students be blacksmiths. First of all, I ask students to try to beat the rhythm according to the rhythm and strength of the hammer (two groups of rhythm have been trained before class). Then I guide students to play blacksmith's game with rhythm in music, so that students can experience the cooperation of two groups of rhythms in the game until the two groups of rhythms are harmonious. Students consolidate the rhythm they have learned in the game, and at the same time deepen their impression of music appreciation. The enthusiasm of students to participate in games is also very high, and the classroom atmosphere is once again pushed to a climax. In singing teaching, I will also design some games to guide students to sing, such as single singing, double singing, performance singing and so on.
For the application of game teaching method in the classroom, students are very interested in participating, but it is also prone to classroom confusion. Therefore, when teachers organize students to play games, they must combine the teaching content and proceed in an orderly way so that students can learn in a happy atmosphere. This is the ultimate goal of game teaching method, and effective teaching can be realized.
2. Inspired discussion method.
Inspired discussion is a teaching method in which students express their opinions on a certain problem in teaching and discuss it until the problem is solved under the guidance of teachers. Enlightened discussion helps students acquire corresponding knowledge in the process of discussion, and they can enjoy the joy of acquiring knowledge in music class. When I understand songs and appreciate teaching, I usually inspire discussion. For example, on the basis of learning songs, in order to let students further understand the expressive meaning of songs, I inspire students to discuss with lyrics and their own understanding of songs (the discussion methods can be groups, teachers and students, free combination, etc.). ). Students gain corresponding knowledge through discussion and understand the expressive meaning of songs. I will encourage students to share the results of students' discussions with classmates, so that students can fully understand the songs from the exchanges.
When guiding students to enjoy music, heuristic discussion is also common, because discussion can make students concentrate. In order to solve the problem, students will listen to every link of music carefully, just like when listening to the folk music ensemble "Happy Harvest" in grade four. In order to complete the teaching task in time, I will inspire students to discuss and listen to it several times according to the artistic conception, style, structure, speed and intensity of music. How many paragraphs does this music form have? Subtitle each paragraph. What kind of scene does each paragraph describe? What instrument is used to play music?
What instrument can you imitate? Please try to hum the melody of the third paragraph. The teaching task is completed in the atmosphere of students' happy discussion. Students can gain pleasant aesthetic music ability through discussion, thus enhancing their understanding of music, enhancing their self-confidence in learning music and promoting their motivation to learn music. At the same time, when composing rhythm, melody and lyrics, heuristic discussion method is also used, and the teaching effect will be self-evident. In teaching, discussion can give full play to students' learning initiative and enthusiasm, help to cultivate students' independent thinking ability, cooperative communication ability, oral expression ability and creativity, promote students' flexible use of knowledge, and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems.
3. Expand teaching methods
Expanding teaching method is to expand students' thinking, cultivate students' thinking quality and achieve innovative success through expanding training. Mr. Ye Tao once said: "Learning well in class benefits from extracurricular activities." In music class, expanding teaching is helpful to broaden students' artistic vision and aesthetic space. In teaching, students should be allowed to participate, experience and expand their feelings in various forms, arouse their interest, guide them to participate in various music activities and attract their attention. For example, I teach the song "Songs in Festivals", which is to expand and extend on the basis that students have learned to sing. Encourage students to provide holiday songs, such as Spring Festival songs, June 1st songs and National Day songs. Students can combine their own understanding with their usual accumulation, and understand that music is an important part of holiday life by setting up songs, and then understand the relationship between music and social life.
4. Interactive teaching method
Interactive teaching method is to fully embody the teaching principle of taking students as the main body in music class, return the class to students, and teach students to learn to be human, learn knowledge, learn life and learn aesthetics. The forms of interaction in class are life interaction and teacher-student interaction, and students learn music and get to know each other; Students discuss, communicate and cooperate with each other; Performing together; Music, such as the teacher's singing score, singing lyrics; Teachers and students create and compose music for a song; Sing in pairs; Teacher-student duet; Teachers and students sing together; Life and singing, etc. Practice has proved that through these interactions, teachers and students are very happy, and teachers and students share the happiness of interaction, so students also concentrate on participating in interactive activities.
5. Exciting teaching methods
Stimulating interest teaching method is to stimulate students' interest in class, make students concentrate, arouse their thinking and improve their learning initiative accordingly. In music classroom learning, students' interest can be stimulated through games, riddles, stories, dialogues, situations, performances, appreciation and media. In teaching, these teaching methods are used to arouse students' interest. The purpose is to make students turn their attention to their learning goals, make them want to enter music classes and music, enhance their aesthetic ability to music, and promote their learning motivation.
