Fall in love with school, no longer tire of learning

Chapter 7: Reasons for Weariness of Studying (1)
The Mystery of Weariness
Every parent hopes that their children will become a success, and they do their best to create conditions for students, and hope that students will have a bright life; every teacher hopes that they will be full of peaches and plums, and hope that their students will have the sparkle of life at this moment, the fragrance of peaches and plums, and outstanding; Every student hopes that their life will be wonderful and bright.

Even so, there are endless problems around students: Internet addiction, weariness, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, conduct disorder, uncomfortable environment, running away from home... These problems not only trouble students, but also trouble teachers and parents.

Students suffer, parents feel distressed, and teachers suffer.Parents can't control it, teachers can't teach it well, and good students can't do it well, what the hell is going on!What is the reason for this situation?

A Brief Talk on the Causes of Weariness of Study
In order to deal with the emotional problems of students' weariness, we should first understand the reasons behind the students' weariness.The reasons for students' weariness of studying are varied and diverse, and the reasons for students' weariness of learning are also different for students with different personalities and different family environments.

From the perspective of students, there are two main psychological reasons: motivation and interest.Some students have poor learning foundation, and their grades still cannot be improved after hard work, which causes a lack of confidence in learning and thus weariness of learning.Some students are influenced by their families.Some students are from a relatively well-to-do family, with superior living conditions and no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, they lack a sense of crisis and responsibility. Some students lack stable parental relationship or single-parent families, lack of care and supervision in life and study, so rebellious psychology is serious, and absenteeism and truancy frequently occur.

There is another important factor caused by schools and teachers: students are not interested in the subjects taught by a certain teacher, or do not like a certain teacher, and the teacher does not do a good job of psychological counseling in time, which will cause students to feel bored, Fear, unable to achieve normal learning, unable to complete basic learning tasks, and was soon classified as a poor student by the teacher, so he has been poor.

In the current situation, most teachers adopt the synchronous teaching method, and the requirements for students are "one size fits all" and "simultaneous walking" mode, which greatly ignores the individuality, initiative and differences of students, causing "you students can't eat enough, Poor students can’t eat” situation.

To make matters worse, in order to one-sidedly pursue the enrollment rate, the school only emphasizes the total score, and each subject is swarming, ignoring the students' interest in a single subject, which is often the engine of all-round development.In addition, all kinds of school activities are carried out around the quality of teaching as much as possible, which is monotonous and boring, and does not arouse students' interest. Therefore, students would rather hang out outside the school than enter the school.

In addition, some media reports and publicity are mostly examples of some students who did not get good grades in school but still achieved success, making students feel that they can become talents without studying, which has a huge negative impact.

health and fatigue

The body is the capital of revolution, and the body is also the capital of learning.Health has a great influence on learning, and there is a dialectical relationship between health and fatigue.Combining work and rest, maintaining a healthy body and mind is the basis for smooth learning activities.

The meaning of health includes physical health and mental health. The former mainly refers to the presence or absence of sensory impairment or special defects, such as reading difficulties or special difficulties in pronunciation; it also refers to health changes.The latter refers to emotional well-being and personal and social adjustment.Since a person's needs cannot be completely and permanently satisfied at any time, no one can have completely perfect mental health.It is impossible to be completely free from personal and social emotional problems.Dealing with, or living with, these issues is a prerequisite for optimizing academic performance.Unhealthy psychological activities may lead to feelings of inferiority complex, insecurity, personal worthlessness, hostility, and guilt.This kind of emotion will cause symptomatic behaviors, such as a sudden drop in grades, being particularly sensitive to criticism, extremely jealous, telling stories, changing moods, often complaining about illnesses but no illnesses on examination, and being unable to control oneself, etc.Sources of symptomatic behavior are too much pressure to do well, too much criticism, environment, doting, etc.Teachers should observe and analyze at any time, and take corresponding measures to prevent and overcome symptomatic behaviors, so as to ensure that students have a healthy psychology.

In learning, fixed thinking, left-sided mental work, sensory bias, and excessive learning are all frequent causes of fatigue.The mindset is that people's thinking moves along the same tendency, that is, they consider problems according to a fixed line of thinking, which will cause inertia and rigidity in thinking.The substitution practice of listening and speaking can easily lead to students' fixed thinking.The left side of mental work refers to not using the right hemisphere of the brain for imagery thinking for a long period of time. Mantangguan is an example.Sensory bias refers to listening alone, seeing alone, writing alone, and reading alone for too long.Excessive learning refers to continuing to learn after excessive learning, and also refers to "hard learning" regardless of fatigue.All four are avoidable sources of fatigue.

Different subjects, times, and ages produce different degrees of fatigue.Arranging learning content and time according to fatigue is also a way to avoid or reduce fatigue.

(1) Subject fatigue level experiment: the subject with the highest level of fatigue is mathematics, the second highest level is physical education, the middle level is Chinese and physics and chemistry, and the lowest level is music, painting and drawing.

（2）不同年龄每次学习的时间长度：3～5岁为25～30分钟，6～8岁为30～40分钟，9～12岁为40～50分钟，13～15岁为50～60分钟，15以上为60～90分钟。

A convenient way to reduce fatigue and maintain health during classroom learning is to engage in short singing, games, free conversations, and personal reading and writing within 45 minutes according to the actual conditions of the course before and after, the age and spirit of the students, the class time, and the weather.Secondly, the learning methods and exercises should not be single, but use multiple senses to receive multiple information.In particular, don't make the mistake of thinking that "grab 45 minutes" is just labor-intensive.In 20 minutes, you can recall the materials you have learned in class, and then talk freely or study by yourself for 5 minutes before continuing to study.

Disadvantages of exam-oriented education

Exam-oriented education has played an important role in the history of education, but now it has become a derogatory term, which is relative to quality education.Exam-oriented education is also called "advanced education", which emphasizes "dual bases" and the factors of ability and intelligence. This is understandable. The problem lies in one-sided education.

The practice of human education and teaching for nearly a hundred years has proved that the teaching content pursued by synchronous teaching (class teaching system) is double-based education, that is, education of basic knowledge and basic skills.Double-based education simply pays attention to instilling knowledge and imparting skills to students, but neglects the cultivation of students' learning practice and ability, moral education, and the improvement of the overall quality of people. It is a one-sided education with serious defects.

(1) Examination-oriented education places too much emphasis on intelligence, while ignoring morality, physical education, art and labor; emphasis is placed on test-taking subjects, while elective and exempt subjects are neglected.The senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination are approaching. Except for the high school entrance examination subjects such as English, mathematics and English materialization, all other subjects are cancelled.

(2) Exam-oriented education attaches great importance to the amount of book knowledge, and neglects the development of students' comprehensive quality and self-exploration ability.The knowledge level of Chinese students is relatively rich, but they often lack the spirit of innovation and daring to be the first in the world.The long way to go is that the current education reform is led by the talents trained by force-feeding in the past. Are they really ready for today's students?
(3) Exam-oriented education puts too much emphasis on theory, ignoring activity courses and social practice courses; emphasizing simple and "efficient" teaching methods, ignoring students' active discovery methods.Exam-oriented education does not respect the existence of people, cannot mobilize the initiative of students, and simply reduces it to mechanical processing.

(4) Exam-oriented education focuses on "good students" and ignores most students, especially poor students.School education has become harsh, a knockout competition under triple pressure from society, family, and school.Three or two elites sacrificed a large area.It should be known that basic education (including high school, vocational school, vocational high school and adult high school) is an ordinary universal education that serves the majority.Cultivating a small number of talents and delaying more people reflects the extreme utilitarian nature of exam-oriented education.

Too much pressure to study
Parents often reflect: My child usually studies very hard, takes the initiative to complete homework every night, actively previews and reviews homework, and usually has the best test scores in the class, but when it comes to the big test, the score immediately drops, and the college entrance examination is even higher than the simulated test. Fifty or sixty points lower.Why is this?

In fact, these are all caused by physical and psychological factors, and the exam pressure is high, and the points that should not be lost are lost.

In addition to exam tension, excessive stress can also cause the following physiological diseases:
(1) Insomnia and poor sleep quality: Most candidates who are stressed have insomnia experience for a period of time before the exam. Lack of sleep at night directly affects the state of the next day and causes low learning efficiency.

(2) Irritable and irritable: Candidates' mood becomes extremely bad, and they get angry at every turn. They are careless and irritable when doing homework, and cannot complete the learning tasks well.

(3) Girls have irregular menstruation. The survey shows that 25% of the college entrance examination students have menstrual disorders or even temporary amenorrhea due to excessive stress, which makes them more worried and unable to face the exam wholeheartedly.

Too much pressure to study
Why do students suffer from school weariness and the pressure of exams?
(1) Those students who are tired of studying because of being playful, need to be educated to guide them into the normal learning track.

(2) Tired of studying due to anxiety, tension, and inability to concentrate. Such symptoms are often caused by vestibular dysfunction in the left and right ears, and physical therapy is required.

It is worth noting that the above two phenomena do not exist in isolation, and most students who are tired of studying have these two incentives at the same time.Social survey data show that: more than 80% of students who are playful and difficult to improve their grades are accompanied by left and right ear vestibular disorders and learning anxiety.

People's senses such as eyes and ears are directly connected with the brain - if a person wears inappropriate glasses, the feedback information from the brain is dizziness; if a person's vestibular function is disordered, he will have Anxiety.Human ears are closely connected with the nervous system.The ear vestibule is an integral part of the inner ear. It can transmit neurons inside, promote the secretion of endorphins by the pituitary gland, and control the nervous system's response and balance of the nervous system; outside, it is controlled by changes in the head position to maintain body balance, coordination, and muscle tension.It is precisely because of the coordination of the ear vestibule and the nervous system that we can express our bodies in space, make various actions, speak the language we want to express, and maintain positive emotions.The ear vestibule is also an important relay station for all sensory information transmitted from the body to the limbs. An imbalance in the ear vestibule will affect the function of the human nervous system and other organs.

Scientific experiments have shown that if the ear vestibular hearing imbalance occurs, it will stimulate the central system of the brain, affect the normal work of the pituitary gland, and cause the brain to feel anxious; under the influence of this anxiety, it will be difficult for students to concentrate on learning and produce Resisting emotions eventually lead to the occurrence of weariness.

At the same time, the anxiety caused by binaural vestibular imbalance will seriously affect the candidates, which will virtually increase the pressure of the candidates and lead to poor test status.

school education pain
For example, there is no good learning atmosphere in the campus, the setting of classroom teaching is not reasonable, students fail repeatedly in examinations, their grades cannot be improved, it is difficult to reflect their own advantages and values, teachers' monotonous and boring teaching methods, teachers' improper teaching methods and management Means, disharmonious teacher-student relationship, etc.Among them, the unreasonable curriculum setting and the lack of a good learning atmosphere are the most prominent factors that cause students to be tired of learning.

The pain of education is felt by everyone.The fundamental problem is not that our teachers have a heavy burden and students have multiple tasks, but that our educational philosophy and educational behavior have no way to bond together. This state of separation makes the entire education system face "two skins". dilemma.

On the one hand, there is the lively advanced educational concept education, and on the other hand, the outdated educational teaching methods and educational assessment system. The two have become two completely different systems in the actual education and teaching, and they have lost their intersection.

In the educational philosophy of our courses, we emphasize taking students as the main body, paying attention to students' thinking quality, students' world outlook and methodology, emotional goals and sustainable development.

The role of the teacher has undergone a fundamental change, not only the imparter of knowledge, but also the facilitator of student learning, the developer and builder of the curriculum; not only the traditional educator, but also the learner and researcher of the new teaching relationship organizers.Another important goal of the new curriculum is to emphasize reducing the burden on teachers and students.The evaluation takes "promoting development" as the ultimate goal, downplays the screening and selection function of evaluation, pays attention to the needs of teachers and students in their development, highlights the incentive and regulation function of evaluation, stimulates the internal development motivation of teachers and students, and promotes their continuous improvement. Make progress and realize your own value.The goal of teacher evaluation is to establish an evaluation system that promotes the continuous improvement of teachers' professional ethics and educational level, change the long-standing practice of using students' academic performance as the only standard for teacher evaluation, and establish a new type of teacher evaluation standard that is diverse and conducive to teacher growth .The goal of student evaluation is to establish an evaluation system that evaluates students' all-round development. It not only pays attention to students' academic performance, but also discovers and develops students' potential in many aspects, helps students know themselves, build self-confidence, and continuously develop at their original level.

problems in classroom teaching
Reflecting on the classroom teaching of current Chinese education, the main problems are:
1. Teaching cannot be people-oriented
The connotation of education is the understanding of people, and the original meaning of people is a form of life movement, so the establishment of educational missions should be based on the understanding of the complete meaning of people, which is an education that includes the trinity of cognition, emotion, and movement.However, our current classroom teaching ignores the existence of people, and simplifies this complex task. Three-dimensional becomes one-dimensional, and the teaching goal is condensed into a single cognitive goal. Other teaching goals are often ignored or even ignored either, or not at all.

2. Subject-object dislocation between teachers and students
"Returning the classroom to the students" has been called for a long time, but this issue has not been effectively dealt with.Our teacher has a characteristic. He loves to talk too much and is too superstitious about what he says.There may be three reasons for this phenomenon: ① I don’t trust the students, and I always like to tell the students what I understand, and I always feel that the students can’t understand it; ② What should be done by the students is always done by the teacher Speaking, the pursuit is for students to "know" and "remember"; ③In order to better control classroom teaching, let students revolve around themselves, especially some so-called public classes and high-quality classes.Either way, the students are either serious audience members or living puppets at the mercy of the teacher.Students who should be the main body of classroom teaching have completely become supporting roles to help teachers complete "teaching tasks", which is far from the original purpose of classroom teaching.

3. Learning is disconnected from reality

From the perspective of economics, compared with precepts and deeds in life, teaching is intensive, efficient, and economical, that is, it uses the least amount of time to obtain the most knowledge. This view has always been the school we like to talk about. The advantages of education.But from the point of view that education is to shape a perfect personality, it does not necessarily have to be economical, and sometimes it may be counterproductive.Our classroom teaching situation is carefully designed by the teacher, step by step, not sprawling.The reason why I like this model is that I am worried about leading students into "misunderstanding", or I am afraid that I will not be able to control it and an "embarrassing" situation will appear.The artificial nature of this learning environment makes it difficult to cultivate students' abilities, and it will be difficult for students to be qualified for real jobs in the future. It is natural that the results of knowledge learning and ability are not proportional.
