Let's look at our children. Most of them are only children, and the little emperor at home has a strong sense of self. Who doesn't think he is the best when he is coquetry? And our teachers sometimes ask simple questions, provide easy tasks, and then praise them and say they are the best. There are two possible results: one is complacency, thinking that I am the best at such a simple question, and I may not listen to the lecture and ignore anyone. A man who thinks I'm too stupid to give me such a simple question. Third, students are unwilling to accept more challenging topics, fearing that they will be unwise and shrink back if they can't finish the task. Students can't feel the joy of solving problems, because the process of solving problems is not affirmed. If the teacher only praises the learning results for a long time, it may lead students to focus only on the results, thus copying homework and opportunistic. In addition, parents are also influenced by exam-oriented education. They only look at the scores regardless of students' learning behavior, and even encourage bad style.
Therefore, the author believes that teachers should play the role of praise and let students experience the happiness brought by evaluation, so as to be willing to evaluate, like to evaluate and evaluate positively. Attract students' attention to the learning process.
First, use specific behaviors and things to praise.
A child's ability to distinguish right from wrong is not strong. When you praise him in general, he sometimes feels that he has done well in all aspects and is easy to satisfy himself. Some teachers often say: XXX has done well these days, I hope you will continue to work hard; You are doing very well. Wait a minute. It can really make children feel that they have done well in all aspects and are easy to feel satisfied. This requires us to avoid generalizations when praising, and constantly look for new breakthroughs, analyze specific problems and go straight to the point. If a student does all his homework correctly and you praise him for "doing well", the child will take it for granted and will not be surprised at all. In this way, even if you often get an A in the future, your child's self-motivation will gradually disappear. We can praise children in another way, grasp the main points or praise them as they like, and say, "It's really good, I've been observing you, and you are very focused on your study today." In this way, the teacher introduced the praise to the children into the emotional attitude of doing homework, and hit the real reason why the homework is no problem. After listening, students will feel that they have been concerned by the teacher and feel happy and excited from the heart. When students cooperate with others to complete a task, teachers should affirm their cooperative methods and spirit in time. These affirmations of specific behaviors and things not only cultivate students' self-confidence, but also enable students to find operational methods, thus cultivating students' interest in learning and good study habits.
Second, teachers appreciate students' efforts.
In math class, the monitor raised his hand and asked for a demonstration on stage. He totally understood. The teacher said, "It's amazing. You are the monitor. " The monitor never dared to raise his hand in class again. He was afraid that he had done something wrong and was ashamed of the title of monitor. Liu Yifan is new here. His gentle appearance is really cute when he is too early. The teacher couldn't help saying, "It's beautiful, like a little gentleman." Soon, some students reported that Liu Yifan began to hit people. Looking back on this matter, I find that I appreciate their reputation as "worthy monitor" and "little gentleman" in Chinese, which makes them very stressed. It brings fear and anxiety to students, not happiness and joy. Students are unconsciously resisting this kind of praise. What they need is the teacher's affirmation of their efforts.
If the teacher says to the monitor, "You are careful." He said to Liu Yifan, "You ate really well today." The student union thinks that my efforts have been praised. Students will find ways to solve problems in the future. This will keep them enthusiastic and enhance their self-confidence.
It is found that praising students' efforts can improve their ability to face setbacks more effectively than praising their intelligence or performance.
Third, praise should be targeted.
There are differences between people, and there are individual differences in people's needs. When praising students, whether it is spiritual praise or material praise, we should aim at the needs of students, so as to receive better praise effect.
In the class of "Teaching You How to Appreciate Children", Teacher Isabella Chow asked a parent, "My daughter is very slow in doing her homework. What should I do if she needs to drink water and go to the toilet? " He replied: if you want children to be fast, don't say that children are slow. The more you talk about him, the slower he will be. Praise the child when he is quick. There are not many advantages and fewer disadvantages.
Indeed, in teaching, teachers complain that students are careless in their work and dawdle on their homework. The teacher reminded him countless times, but it didn't work. There is a saying in psychology: once an idea is strengthened many times, it will take root in children's hearts. Therefore, when teachers repeatedly point out the shortcomings of children's carelessness and dullness, students will form an inertia and really think they are careless or dull. On the contrary, if teachers pay attention to children's carefulness and agility, after repeated reinforcement, students will have psychological hints of "agility", faster and faster.
Therefore, when educating students with learning difficulties, teachers may wish to change their focus on students, use teachers' care, love and patience to discover the bright spots of students, appreciate them and enhance their self-confidence. When praising top students, we might as well put forward higher requirements and motivate them to meet higher challenges.
I use praise and encouragement to encourage students to make progress. If there is anything wrong, please criticize it.
