Fall in love with school, no longer tire of learning

Chapter 8: Reasons for Weariness of Studying (2)
4. Teachers and students cannot learn cooperatively

Our classroom teaching is basically still the original "self-study", the teacher speaks at the top, and the students listen at the bottom; the teacher asks at the top, and the students answer at the bottom.There is no dialogue of thinking, collision of souls, and blending of emotions between teachers and students, students and students.On the one hand, effective cooperative learning can cultivate students' spirit of cooperation and competition awareness, on the other hand, it can make up for a teacher's insufficiency in the face of individual differences among many students, and is conducive to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and teaching learners from each other.

5. Lack of emotion
Emotional absence is also a serious problem in our classroom teaching at present.The classroom atmosphere is dull and boring, and the teaching process is the same every day. Students have to listen and memorize for exams and further studies. This makes some students go to school lazily and go home exhausted every day.Obtaining the unknown was originally a hunger and thirst, but now it is a burden, instead of asking this and that like when I was a child.

If the teaching process is understood as an activity, the activities include not only the flow of cognitive information but also the flow of emotional information between the subjects of the activity and between the subject and the object.However, in teaching practice, many teachers only pay attention to the exchange of knowledge information, but ignore the emotional exchange between teachers and students and between teachers and students and teaching content, and do not pay attention to the important role of emotion in teaching, so that the classroom is dull, The students are exhausted and bite the bullet to listen, the teaching effect can be imagined!

"Drawing the hall" makes people tired

The phenomenon of "delaying the hall" is quite common in many schools.What is even more surprising is that it is not uncommon for teachers to "drag the class" in some public classes and demonstration classes of considerable scale and level. "Drag hall" is extremely harmful.Regrettably, until today, it has not yet attracted enough attention from teachers and relevant educational functional departments.Let's talk about the dangers of procrastination.

(1) Students are generally dissatisfied.The author has conducted different forms of surveys in several schools on the issue of "dragging the hall", and as a result, nine out of ten students are full of complaints about it.Originally, the class break was only 10 minutes. Which teacher "extended" the lecture time so far, and the other "stretched" forward so much, with such a clip at both ends, how much time can be left for the students?Sometimes students don't even have time to go to the toilet, let alone rest, activities, and preparations for the next class, which makes the students very passive and busy.In fact, the students are very annoying and procrastinating, and most of them dare not speak out.Dominated by the law of attention, during the period of procrastination, the speaker is actually intentional and the listener is unintentional, so the teaching effect can be imagined.

Recently, in a middle school, I saw a stack of questionnaires from students evaluating teachers.Behind the question marks of "what kind of teacher do you like most" and "what kind of teacher do you dislike the most", more than half of the students filled in "teachers who don't procrastinate" and "teachers who procrastinate".

To be honest, most of the teachers that children don't like are very responsible teachers, and some of them are excellent teachers.The teachers who drag the class are actually very hard.I have to teach several classes a day, and each class lasts for 10 minutes, with dry mouth, back pain, and numb legs; and after the get out of class bell rings, I still insist on speaking for a few more minutes.But after some hard work, the students complained, so why bother?
Does the teacher in the drag class think that children have so many classes a day, and there are only 10 minutes between classes. Which student does not want to seize this short opportunity, like a song, look at the blue sky, look at the green trees, breathe fresh air, Relax your brain; or go to the playground to have fun, pat the ball, play games, etc.Not only that, but students should use this time to drink water and go to the toilet.The reason why the education department and the school set a strict time limit for a class is precisely because children are in a critical period of physical and mental development.Therefore, the 10-minute break between classes embodies the life-oriented thinking, embodies the law of education, and embodies the law of youth growth.

Does the teacher in the classroom still think that you may be using the few minutes between classes to tell what should be said, thinking that the teaching goal of lesson preparation will be achieved after the lecture, and you will have a clear conscience after the lecture.This is good for students!But do you care about the reaction of the students?Do you think about the teaching effect?Did the students listen to what you said?

(2) Influence other teachers in class.Sometimes after class, a certain teacher is still talking on the podium until the teacher who wants to go to the class or the teacher of the next class waits at the door of the classroom with a sullen face. The embarrassment of the scene is self-evident.There are not a few people who have conflicts and opinions for this reason.

(3) Detrimental to teachers and school spirit.Confucius said, "If one's body is upright, one does not obey orders; if one's body is not upright, even if one is ordered to do so", students are required to have a sense of time, but teachers are lazy at work and procrastinate in class, which can only make students' behavior different from that of teachers. Contrary to their education, they will develop bad habits and form a lazy atmosphere.

(4) Learning: ①After the get out of class bell rang, the noise of chasing, laughing and loud noises from the students in other classes was disturbing. ② After "dragging the class", you encounter problems that you don't understand, and you don't feel at ease when you go to and from the class, or what the teacher said in the previous class is still echoing in your ears. ③During the "dragging class" time, the teacher speaks quickly, the content of the teaching cannot be well understood, and they often do things hastily, which makes the students more and more problems in learning. ④Students have no time to prepare for the next class.

(5) Emotional aspects: ①Students always seem to have a burden on the teacher who often "procrastinates" during his class, and sometimes even hate this subject. ②After "delaying the class", students always think that the break time is not enough, and they feel a little bit of discomfort in their hearts, and even feel disgusted with the "delaying" teacher. ③Be sympathetic to the "dragging" teachers and better understand the painstaking efforts of the "dragging" teachers, but at the same time do not want the teachers to "dragging".

(6) Physiological aspects: ①Continuous lectures and long-term learning, students have long hoped to use the time after class to adjust their brains.As soon as the get out of class bell rings, there is a natural sense of relaxation, and it is difficult to concentrate on listening to the class. ②If you sit for a long time, you will feel muddled, or you can't help but want to go out and exercise to adjust your mentality. ③Sometimes I want to go to the toilet, and I am very embarrassed because of "dragging the hall". ④Continuous class, eye and brain swelling, fatigue.

(7) Other aspects: students on duty can only wipe the blackboard when they are about to start class, and their chalk dust pollutes the air in the classroom, and also affects the mood of other teachers in class.

"full house irrigation" must be cautious
Classroom teaching in primary and middle schools in Beijing began to implement new classroom evaluation standards in 2004. In the new evaluation standards, evaluation items such as lecture atmosphere and subject characteristics were added for the first time.Teachers who use the "full classroom" method of teaching in class will also be given a "bright yellow card" as a warning.

Needless to say, "full house irrigation" has indeed caused a "less and slow difference" in teaching effect (Ye Shengtao's words). In school education, it has become synonymous with many teaching methods and methods that need to be discarded.However, as one of the traditional teaching methods, is the "full house irrigation" teaching method of "I tell you to listen, and I teach you to learn" really useless?Has it really reached the point where "rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats them", do we have to let them "disappear in the classroom"?
The brilliance created by traditional education seen through the history of China, as well as the fact that many places abroad are learning and referring to China's basic education, all prove the rationality of traditional teaching methods.Classroom teaching is a kind of benefit-oriented and purposeful activity. As the transfer of knowledge and the exchange of information, the traditional teaching method represented by the lecture method is still one of the most efficient methods.There are laws but no fixed methods in teaching. Education needs to be reformed and innovated, but it does not mean that the traditional teaching methods should be completely negated. The teaching methods such as cooperative discussion and inquiry commonly used in many new courses are naturally effective, but not all knowledge is perfect. It is necessary and suitable to explore, such as some topical knowledge, character background, and rigorous logical deduction between knowledge, etc., without the teaching method and allowing students to independently construct, sometimes it is difficult to complete the teaching task."Putting students as the main body" in the classroom is the direction of curriculum reform, but it is obviously unrealistic for students to deal with each other for all problems.

A principal said quite complacently at an experience exchange meeting: "I ask each teacher to explain each lesson for no more than 7 minutes." This formulation is obviously extremely unscientific-the teacher is not facing A machine that can be operated mechanically is a living person with different intelligence, age, interests and hobbies; classroom teaching is a process for students to master basic knowledge and develop abilities. There are many new creations, and the rigid regulation of how much time can only be explained in each class is just to put a heavy shackle on the teacher.In fact, whether to teach or not to teach a class, and how much time to talk, should be determined according to the teaching content of the class and the reaction of the students, and there must be no "one size fits all".

From this point of view, "telling" is not the culprit that makes students lose their interest in learning and motivation. The necessary knowledge telling is by no means dispensable. In addition, we must pay attention to grasping the level and art, and we must not overdo it, otherwise it will become "full house irrigation".Only when the teacher creates a democratic, equal, lively and interesting classroom teaching atmosphere in the classroom, can the students appear as the masters of the classroom, and the traditional teaching method can also glow with new vitality.

problems with the education system

Let me talk about a familiar thing first. In international Olympic competitions, laurels and honors often belong to Chinese students, and it can even be said to be a Chinese patent.There is also an eye-catching international award - the Nobel Prize, but so far there is no seat for a local Chinese scientist.

What a pity.This shows the sorrow of the Chinese nation and Chinese education.Americans can make computers as flexible as a fool's human brain, but Chinese education often makes people's brains as rigid as computers.

The reason why human beings are human beings is called the "spirit of all things", and the reason why they can dominate the earth is because human beings are good at inventing and using tools, which is what our ancestors called "good at things".

But once upon a time, China's education has forgotten this principle.Many students may be able to memorize that article backwards, but do they really understand the profound philosophy in it?

Once upon a time, a student's brain has become a hard disk for storing dead knowledge!
Once upon a time, students were unknowingly turned into learning tools!The hard-working spirit of Chinese students and the things stored in their brains make many foreigners feel ashamed.But how much of this is necessary?How much is rubbish?How much is purely a burden?In this world of knowledge, there is no rubbish at all, it is just that the resources are misplaced, or we have not used them well.

Therefore, should China's education put more energy on how to educate students to use resources?Why do students have to work hard to memorize and memorize the things that machines can store and calculate?

There is an article written by the wife of a physicist.Although her husband has achieved many great academic achievements and is admired by many people, his ability to take care of himself is very poor, and he doesn't know how to relax and enjoy life at all.But think about those great scientists in history, many of them knew how to live.

Einstein, for example, was a genius, a great physicist.Yet his life wasn't all physics.He was fond of art, especially music, and played the violin very well.People live for what?Is it just an honor?no!Everyone has the responsibility to live happily, for themselves, for their family and friends.

However, China's institutional education seems to have forgotten the functions of these people.

specific problems in the system
(1) In the classroom, the teacher can speak freely, but the students have to raise their hands to apply for the permission to speak to the teacher to ask and answer questions. This strengthens discipline, but ignores the individuality and freedom of the students.

(2) There are many subjects to study and a lot of homework. Teachers cannot make students fall in love with learning, but they can only make students bored with learning.

(3) The freedom of students is restricted in many ways, and there are even various feudal "guarantee" phenomena such as having to buy school uniforms at school.Today, with the vigorous development of the socialist market economy, using previous economic concepts to demand students is an act that violates national policies and the laws of social development.

(4) Exams are too many and students are under too much pressure. What the society needs is not just a paper diploma and a refined style of classmates. at a disadvantage.

(5) The school does not consider the interests of the students, and often puts their own interests first. Students must obey the school, which is contrary to the purpose of the socialist market economy of "service first".Every year, March 3th is the consumer rights protection day. Between students and the school, the students themselves should be positioned as consumers, and the school, as the service provider, must put the interests of the students first. In fact, how many schools can To satisfy the students?

(6) Education is too rigid, and the traditional learning methods of cramming make students miserable.Learning is no longer a reasonable way to satisfy students' thirst for knowledge, but a burden that makes students feel stressed.Let me ask all schools, various education authorities, and parents, if you are asked to carry huge burdens to work, develop, and make money, will you be happy?Will you work well, develop well, and make money?If you don't decompress your classmates, it's hard to improve your weariness.

(7) Discipline is a standard and rules system related to the stability of a social environment. It is determined in the interests of the majority of people. It is not determined by a school leader or teacher who ignores the feelings of students for the convenience of self-management.Students are not allowed to speak in the corridor, and keep quiet in the classroom... Such an environment and rules and regulations are a bit dull.

(8) Arbitrary charges.This issue is the most sensitive and the one that most students and parents are most concerned about.Some schools use scores to improve their own grades, and use the score line to collect money from classmates. The so-called "borrowing fees" that cost tens of thousands or tens of thousands are really unsatisfactory.The school needs construction, which is the development of the school itself. How can the construction and growth of the school bring our classmates?Have the students really improved their grades and knowledge because of the expansion of the school and the school's desperate efforts to collect money?
(9) Questions about cram schools.The existence of cram schools has caused a lot of headaches for parents. In order to earn some extra money in addition to their salary, some teachers even do not finish all the knowledge in class, and explain the main points of knowledge in cram schools.Knowledge is provided by the school, but it is resold by teachers for appreciation. This phenomenon really does not conform to the teacher's image of "the spring silkworms will die when the silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry".

(10) Issues of puppy love and sex education.This is a relatively sensitive topic at present, but the more sensitive it is, the less people dare to raise it.Because students are studying at the age of puberty, sexual issues in school have become a major responsibility of school education. Some students do not know what is going on with men and women until they get married. Sex education has gone astray.Blindly concealing and suppressing will not allow students to understand the truth.

The so-called "teachers, preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts", when the students in the blooming season are most confused, they need the teacher's education and guidance most. Mentally healthy and uplifting people.

(11) CALL THE PARENTS.Once a classmate makes a mistake, he must call the parents and push the responsibility to the parents.Indeed, in education, parents are indeed much more convenient than teachers. However, many teachers seem to regard calling parents as a "killer card" to threaten their classmates.
