Self-confidence simply means that you believe in yourself, specifically, that you have the ability to achieve your goal. It is a stable personality quality or personality characteristic, it is a positive expression of self-awareness, and it is to gradually establish a correct understanding of the possibility of realistic goals in the process of practice. Self-confidence in mathematics learning refers to students' belief in their own mathematical cognitive ability and practical ability in the process of mathematics learning, which affects students' choice, acceptance and preparation for mathematics learning tasks; Affect students' emotional adjustment and persistence in mathematics learning. It can be said that self-confidence in learning mathematics is one of the driving forces to promote students' learning and the key to success in mathematics learning. Therefore, in mathematics teaching, we should take students as the foundation and pay attention to cultivating students' self-confidence. Specific measures are as follows:
How to Improve Students' Self-confidence in Learning Mathematics
First, create a good atmosphere.
According to educational psychology research and educational practice, under the situation that students have no mental pressure, no psychological burden, happy mood and full of emotions, the cerebral cortex is easy to form an exciting center, and at the same time, they have the most active thinking and the strongest practical ability. Teachers should be good at discovering students' advantages and strengths and give them affirmation and encouragement in time.
Second, design flexible teaching content.
In teaching, students should be asked to design some simple questions to complete, so that the teaching objectives can be achieved step by step, different requirements can be put forward for students at different levels, and different levels of math problems can be designed for each student, so that each student can succeed and cultivate students' self-confidence. This kind of design can let all students participate, let different students get different experiences and development, and further show their creativity. At the same time, self-confidence is well cultivated here.
Third, provide space for exploration and communication.
Modern teaching requires that effective teaching activities should not only rely on imitation and memory, but also learn mathematics through hands-on practice, independent exploration and cooperative communication. In these activities, students at different levels can develop and their self-confidence can be cultivated and established to varying degrees. The new curriculum standard also points out that mathematics teaching should provide students with sufficient opportunities to engage in mathematical activities and exchanges, and help them truly understand and master basic mathematical knowledge and skills, mathematical thinking methods and gain rich experience in mathematical activities in the process of independent exploration and cooperative exchanges. Under the guidance of this concept, providing a space for students to explore and communicate can effectively promote the strengthening of students' autonomous awareness and the cultivation of their autonomous learning ability. In the teaching process, students should be guided to carry out autonomous learning activities, and open questions and opportunities for cooperation and exchange can be appropriately provided to expand the space for students to explore.
Fourth, adopt a variety of evaluation methods.
The evaluation of students in traditional teaching is often more about whether students are obedient, whether they can do problems and whether they can get high marks. I think we should not only impart systematic knowledge to students, but also cultivate capable and confident people according to the needs of society. Therefore, the evaluation methods in mathematics should also pay attention to diversity. In teaching, the use of encouraging language for evaluation can make each student have greater enthusiasm for learning.
