When young teachers grow up, a very important way to learn from old teachers is to listen to their normal classes. What is a normal classroom? A normal class refers to a class that teaches students basic knowledge and cultivates their basic skills under normal conditions. It is a classroom for students to experience the learning process, master learning methods and improve their emotional attitude, outlook on life and values in a natural state. Normal classes for old teachers are open to new teachers, who can choose classes according to their own needs. The normal classes of new teachers will also be open to old teachers, and new and old teachers will improve themselves together through lectures.
First, the influence of opening normal classes on young teachers.
When the young teacher listens to the normal class of the old teacher, what he sees is abandoning all formalism, without posturing and affectation, only the true presentation in the natural state. He can observe the old teachers' flexible response to problems and timely guidance to students, as well as the different teaching methods adopted by the old teachers according to teaching practice, local conditions, local and school educational resources, different classes and students' learning conditions, which reflects the old teachers' teaching wisdom. For example, in a class that is not very active in class, how can teachers mobilize students' positive learning emotions and encourage students to speak through humorous language or even exaggerated actions? For classes with active classroom atmosphere, how can teachers guide them in time to avoid blindly encouraging and wasting classroom time? By attending classes, young teachers mainly learn from old teachers' classroom organization, management skills and teacher-student interaction, so as to make teaching smoother and more efficient.
In terms of teaching content, the teaching effect may be much better than that of young teachers after the contents of the corresponding courses are handled by experienced old teachers. Young teachers may integrate better results by attending classes and combining their own characteristics, thus improving the teaching level of young teachers. After listening to the old teacher's homework evaluation, a young teacher said with emotion: "The teaching of the old teacher is just different. He can guide students to get information from the exam questions, and then analyze and reason, interlocking, step by step, and the conclusion is concise and clear, and our evaluation exercise is mainly to give students an answer. " Therefore, young teachers' listening to the old teachers' lessons is conducive to learning the old teachers' methods to deal with the difficulties in teaching materials, the allocation of time in the teaching process and the methods to cultivate students' thinking ability.
Young teachers can also see students' real reactions and exposed problems in the normal class of old teachers, which is also helpful to master the learning situation. For example, in the teaching of cellular energy currency-ATP, an old teacher, after talking about the structure of ATP, threw out a question "What elements is ATP made of?" Some students naturally say "A, T, P", which is unexpected by the teacher, but it also reflects that some students' basic knowledge is not solid. Therefore, young teachers' listening to normal classes is conducive to understanding students' learning mastery and is more targeted in future teaching.
At the same time, in order to benefit their professional growth, young teachers should not only listen to the lessons of the old teachers in this discipline, but also listen to the lessons of different disciplines, seek common ground in differences, capture the intersection between disciplines, and even look at the problem from another angle, and use the differences between disciplines to teach the content of this discipline in another way, constantly injecting "vitality" into their professional development. Young teachers should listen to different subjects, especially science, because biological science is a comprehensive subject based on mathematics, physics and chemistry. By attending classes, young teachers will help them understand students' existing knowledge base, open their minds and save time and energy. For example, teachers can make full use of students' existing mathematical knowledge to solve biological problems in the process of solving problems if they can understand students' mathematical learning before carrying out the related calculation teaching of genetics. Another example is to use students' knowledge of organic chemistry to help students understand the role or function of protein, sugar, fat and other organic substances in life. Young teachers should learn to absorb what they need from different disciplines, and become their own teaching springboard after digestion and absorption, so that interdisciplinary teaching is no longer isolated.
Second, the influence of opening normal classes on old teachers.
Normal classes are open. When the old teacher stands in front of the podium as a "master", the "apprentice" under the stage is also considered an insider. Because of their mission, old teachers will not attend classes without adequate preparation, and the language expression in class will also avoid randomness. For example, in the teaching process of Mendel's hybrid experiment 2, some teachers will randomly refer to the hybrid of yellow round pea and green wrinkled pea as yellow round green wrinkled hybrid. For old teachers, offering normal classes will make their teaching more standardized, accurate and rigorous.
Normal classes are open, and lectures are given to students and "apprentices". Old teachers are not as nervous as many experts in open classes, but can show their normal level and have normal interaction with students. Old teachers can pay more attention to students' emotions in class and observe their emotions. When students feel tired, impatient or uninterested, they can adjust the teaching rhythm, tell some jokes and anecdotes about celebrities, or connect with real life, and quote some examples of social hotspots to supplement the teaching materials, so as to avoid the "programmed" teaching process, create a good teaching atmosphere that can resonate with students, and make the whole classroom teaching more harmonious and effective. Old teachers strive to maximize students' learning benefits and fully develop students' abilities in normal classes.
Old teachers listen to the normal classes of young teachers and experience the vitality, communication methods and popular language of young people. Understanding the current students' state through attending classes can shorten the psychological distance between teachers and students, and also help them learn the basic knowledge of contemporary science and humanities, and constantly update and improve their knowledge. For example, when studying the "carrier of genetic information-nucleic acid", a young teacher introduced the new lesson like this: Now the Ministry of Public Security is leading the special activity of "Baby Going Home" to crack down on child trafficking and let the separated children go home. So younger children don't know where their original home is and who their parents are, so how can they help them identify who their biological parents are? The public security organs adopt paternity testing-DNA testing. Then why can DNA help them find their biological parents? What is DNA? This kind of introduction is not only a social hot spot, but also can arouse students' emotional touch, and it is a good way to introduce. Young teachers can use advanced teaching AIDS to teach. For example, in the process of teaching meiosis and fertilization, a young teacher uses video data about meiosis that students can't understand and imagine, and then completes the analysis of the changes in the number of imported DNA, chromosomes and chromatids with students instead of showing them in pictures to save time. Old teachers should learn from young teachers the ability to use modern information technology in order to better adapt to the teaching characteristics of the new era and better serve students.
The purpose of offering public courses in schools is to accumulate experience for normal classes. We should treat normal classes as open classes and treat each class with the attitude of treating open classes. In this process, teachers can learn from and apply it, realize its shortcomings and avoid similar situations from happening again; In the classroom, teachers humbly and sincerely ask the teachers in the classroom after class to achieve the purpose of learning from each other. Mentors and apprentices work together to make every normal class an efficient and solid class.
Let the normal classroom be "open", let us learn from each other's experience, standardize teaching behavior, and constantly improve our own quality and teaching level, so as to adapt to the high requirements put forward by modern educational concepts for teachers and better serve the new curriculum reform.
