Interest in learning is the most practical motivation to promote children's learning, which can urge children to study consciously. Generally speaking, children's interest in learning, academic performance and learning confidence complement each other. If children are interested in a certain subject, their academic performance will be good and their learning confidence will be sufficient. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate children's interest in learning. How to cultivate children's interest in learning? Let me talk about my humble opinion:
1. Respect children's interests. Now many parents try their best to let their children study hard and know more from the moment they enter school, so parents arrange their children's weekends and holidays to be full. In fact, it is good for children to learn more, and parents have good starting points. But does your child like studying? Parents, regardless of their children's feelings, make their children study very hard and don't want to learn. For example, some children don't like learning the piano, but parents insist on letting their children learn it, which makes them feel bored at the sight of the piano. How can children learn well? In fact, children are like all kinds of saplings, some like pine and cypress seedlings, some like willow seedlings, some like banyan seedlings and so on. No matter what sapling, it can grow into various materials. Therefore, our responsibility as parents is not to force our children to learn this and that, but to give them more free and relaxed space to choose what they are interested in. For example, some children like to do some hands-on operations and make some small productions. And parents think it has nothing to do with learning, so they stop, restrict and prohibit it. In fact, children also need to use their brains in the production process. When they don't understand, they will consult relevant materials and books. This is the process of learning. This kind of study will make children learn consciously and happily. Moreover, in such activities, not only children's thinking ability will be developed, but also their hands-on operation ability will be improved. Parents should not only stop them from doing this, but also provide them with relevant books according to their children's interests and create opportunities for their children to participate in some beneficial activities and competitions. As we all know, Nie Er became the founder of China's new music and made great achievements in music creation, which is inseparable from his interest in music since childhood. Therefore, many facts have proved that the interest cultivated as a child often lays the foundation for a lifelong career. Some parents place great hopes on their children, but often "prescribe" their interests according to their own subjective wishes, instead of respecting the development law of their own learning interests, which often delays their development.
2. Pay attention to linking children's original interests with knowledge learning, and cultivate and stimulate new interests. Some children have a headache when they hear writing a composition, so they are assigned to write this. He said that he had never done it. When he wrote that, he said that he had never been there or seen it, and he didn't know how to describe it. In fact, there are many things that children really haven't experienced and haven't experienced personally, but they have to write, so they have to copy this composition book and that composition book. When they really can't find a copy, they just scribble a few words to deal with it, and it becomes a real composition. But like the child mentioned just now, he likes to operate by hand. If his parents support him to do it and provide him with relevant books, he has read a lot and done a lot. If you really want him to write, he will be handy when he writes, and the articles he writes will be more concrete, true and flesh-and-blood. He will write about his own production process, the joy of his success, how to overcome difficulties and so on. Therefore, parents should let their children participate in beneficial and favorite activities and link their children with learning. For example, some children like to play games, and parents can improve their children's interest in learning Chinese, mathematics and English through various games. Playing poker, for example, can train children's language skills. For example, if you play a "3", children will try to play a poker with a "3" to make "10". In this way, children improve their oral expression ability in the process of playing and stimulate their interest in learning mathematics. You can also teach children to know and understand words by guessing riddles. You can learn English words with your children by playing cards. For another example, children like to listen to stories, and parents can guide their children to transfer this interest to their studies. I once taught a student. He loved listening to stories when he was a child. He pestered his grandmother all day to tell him stories. Grandma told him a story while telling him: "There are many stories in the book. If you learn to read, you can read them yourself. " When the child has a strong desire to learn to read, his grandmother seizes every opportunity to teach him to read in various ways. Later, the student fell in love with reading and went to the study to read books every day after school. After the teacher knew it, he used his interest to tell stories to his classmates in class. Sometimes let him tell the story he has seen, and sometimes let him repeat the story of the text. After the story was finished, I asked him to write down his feelings after reading the story in his diary. I remember that once the Propaganda Department of the Education Commission organized an essay contest on "Love Our Home", and I encouraged him to participate. The school was the only one at that time. He wrote an article in the form of a fairy tale to take part in the competition and won the prize. Every semester, our school organizes students to visit the suburbs. When they come back, the teacher asks the students to tell their parents or write down what they have seen and heard. On holidays, parents will take their children to travel. After coming back, parents can also let their children speak and write what they have seen and heard, so that children have more opportunities to practice writing and improve their writing ability. As can be seen from the above examples, parents should pay attention to linking their children's original interests with knowledge learning in order to cultivate and stimulate new interests.
3. Cultivate children's interest and let them experience the joy of success more. Because of success
Making children feel satisfied and willing to continue learning is the most sufficient motivation. Once the child succeeds, he will feel satisfied and willing to continue his studies. Therefore, parents should encourage and guide their children to experience the joy of success. As we all know, ten fingers are different in length, and each child's intelligence and acceptance are different. Parents should fully understand their children, set some easy-to-achieve small goals for their children according to their specific conditions, and let them feel that they can do it, so that they will have the confidence and motivation to do it and will succeed. When he shows the joy of success, he will have the interest and confidence to achieve his next goal. With the realization of small goals, children will continue to improve. I once met a parent who saw that their children's academic performance was poor, and the unit exam was only forty or fifty points. He said to the child, "If you can get 90% or above, I will reward 100 yuan to buy you toys." For children, this award is really attractive, and children want it very much, but he knows he doesn't have the ability to get 90 points. How could he be interested in fighting for it? Therefore, the goals set by parents should be appropriate, not too high, so as to arouse children's interest in learning. Each of our teachers has met such students, who often fail exams and often fail to hand in their homework. How did our teacher do it? We will start with establishing his self-confidence and self-esteem, and help him set a small goal according to the actual situation of these students. There is a student who often doesn't hand in his homework, and his writing is very poor. It is difficult for the teacher to see clearly what he wrote. Seeing this situation, I often tell him the importance of learning, and I also set him a small goal. As long as you insist on handing in your homework every day, the teacher will reward you with a red flower. He insisted on not falling behind his homework for a week. I praised him in class in time and gave him a red flower to encourage him to work harder and write better. He is very happy. Once, I found that his homework was a little better than before, so I wrote in my exercise book: progress, keep working hard, and covered two big red flowers. He was very excited after seeing it for himself. He jumped onto the platform with his exercise book and said to the teacher, "Teacher, I can actually write better." I encouraged him in time and said, "When you finish writing, the teacher will reward you with two red flowers and praise you in class." Slowly, his homework writing has made progress, and in the school's homework writing inspection and evaluation, it has improved from the original poor to good. This example shows that setting goals and directions with children needs to be done step by step and cannot be rushed. It seems that the child mentioned just now, usually the composition sentence is not smooth and clear, and the teacher doesn't seem to know what to write. But once, his composition made progress, and he could basically write something. The teacher praised him in time and told him, "This composition has made progress, so it would be better if you could revise it carefully. If you change it, I will let you read it to your classmates in class. " He was so willing, and then the teacher patiently instructed him to revise it, and asked him to read the revised composition to his classmates when marking the composition. Although this article is not good in class, it is a great progress for him. From then on, he became interested in Chinese learning and his grades gradually improved. So, parents
It is necessary to patiently guide and give specific help, so that children can experience the joy of overcoming difficulties and achieving success.
4. Parents' educational methods are closely related to children's interest in learning. Some parents often report to teachers that children are slow to do homework at home, and it takes them 1 hour to finish homework in ten minutes. Some parents say that their children often do their homework until eleven or two. I don't know what to do. The teacher asked the children how to do their homework at home. Some said that the children watched TV while doing their homework, some said that the children were doing their homework while playing, and some said that the children were listening to adults while doing their homework. These reasons are all factors that lead to children's slow homework. It is difficult for children to concentrate because of external interference. As we all know, children are particularly sensitive to external stimuli. For example, just now, children were doing their homework while watching TV. Children like watching TV best and are attracted by wonderful TV programs. How can he do his homework when his eyes are fixed on the TV? When parents call, their hands move, and they don't move unless they call. When it comes to play, children are the most energetic. How does he do his homework while playing? The child's curiosity is particularly strong. There are adults talking around, and he will certainly listen to what adults are saying. Therefore, children will not be able to concentrate on completing their homework, and the speed of homework will be very slow. Whatever the reason, our parents should eliminate the interference that may affect their children's homework and give them a quiet learning environment. In addition to giving children a quiet environment, parents should also pay attention to their behaviors and attitudes. Among many children who have been exposed to slow homework, they are often beaten by their father and scolded by their mother at home, compared with the outstanding students in the class. Parents often show dissatisfaction with their children in front of them. This will only hurt their self-esteem, make them give up on themselves, lose confidence and interest in learning, and cause a vicious circle. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their words and deeds, and must treat their children with a positive attitude, believing that children can be changed. When the child's homework speed is even a little better than before, parents should give appropriate encouragement and praise to make the child realize that he is slowly changing. Parents should learn to compare their children's present with the past, not with other students, because every child is different. In addition to paying attention to attitude, what our parents need to do in behavior is to strengthen their children's excellent behavior in time and punish their bad behavior appropriately. Never give a predetermined reward when a child fails to finish his homework. For example, it is necessary to change the problem of children's slow homework. At the beginning, parents can compare with their children: "Mom does homework, you do homework, and see who does it fast. If you do it quickly, mom can let you do what you want and play your favorite games. " The child has a competitive heart, and he really wants to win, so he will do it seriously. Parents should not give their children a chance to play when they haven't finished their homework. They should leave their children in a quiet room to do their homework until it is finished, which is also a punishment for their behavior. In addition, parents must carefully observe what their children need most and what their favorite activities are. When the child makes progress, parents can use these hobbies and behaviors as reinforcement to stimulate the child and let the child's excellent behaviors appear constantly. When children have changed at home, parents can contact or communicate with teachers, encourage and praise children in schools or classes, and strengthen their good behavior in time. I think: in this way, the speed of children's homework will gradually accelerate.
Of course, there are many ways to cultivate children's interest in learning, and children's interest in learning is also developing and changing under the influence of many factors. Parents should always pay attention to their children's growth process and take timely measures to promote their interests to develop in the right direction.
