A review of middle school students' current politics
At the Third National Conference on Education, President Jiang stressed: "Schools at all levels and of all types should put ideological and political education in an important position, and at no time can it be relaxed or weakened. Ideological and political quality is the most important quality. Constantly enhancing the patriotism, collectivism and socialist spirit of students and the masses is the soul of quality education. " The core of implementing quality education is to improve the quality and benefit of education in an all-round way, so that all students can develop in an all-round and positive way, so that they can become a new generation of people with both ability and political integrity, knowledge acquisition ability and sustainable development ability, and become talents to meet the needs of modernization in the new century.

Judging from our ideological and political course teaching, its teaching content mainly comes from social practice. With the development of society, the content of teaching materials is constantly updated and full of the flavor of the times, which is the concrete embodiment of the combination of Marxist theory and social practice. Students, the main body of education, come from families with different backgrounds. While receiving ideological and political education, they are constantly influenced by the environment and receive information and energy from the environment. Among them, some are healthy, correct and beneficial, and some are unhealthy, wrong or distorted and harmful. Especially in the new period of socialism, there are all kinds of corrupt, backward and ugly phenomena in society, which always affect students through family and society. If we can't see these objective facts and confine ourselves to closed teaching, it is obviously contrary to the goal of quality education today-cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability. Classroom teaching of ideological and political courses is the main position for schools to implement ideological and political quality education, so it should be combined with strengthening current political education.

At the turn of the century, it has become a worldwide topic to strengthen basic education and cultivate trans-century talents who meet the requirements of modern social development. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in the basic education of each class, so that the quality education in the classroom teaching of ideological and political courses for more than 40 minutes can be truly implemented. I think the ideological and political class can start with the hot comments on current politics three minutes before class. An educational celebrity said: "Basic knowledge and basic training are very important in primary and secondary school teaching, and I think we should pay special attention to training." Therefore, the teaching method of commenting on political hotspots before ideological and political courses is an effective way to strengthen students' basic knowledge and basic training, and it is also an effective way to implement open teaching method in basic courses.

According to the teaching method of commenting on current political hotspots, the teacher's requirements for students are: each student takes turns to go to the podium before class and give a three-minute speech to the whole class. When making a speech, you should do the following: (1) It must publish the news at home and abroad in the past three days. (2) Analyze these news with the theory of ideological and political textbooks. After the speech, other students can add, ask questions and especially make comments.

I think this teaching method of commenting on current affairs before class has four points, which can improve the quality of female middle school students in an all-round way:

First, it is conducive to stimulating female students' interest in current affairs and politics, and cultivating students' ability of independent learning and self-development.

Because we are girls' middle school and middle school girls are clustered together, students' interests and hobbies are more likely to be consistent, and the common interests and hobbies have a certain "market" in the school. For example, girls love beauty, talk about food, talk about clothes, and even how to lose weight have become their main topics; Girls love singing and entertainment, and chasing singers and movie stars has become their main excitement, and so on. Their interest and excitement sometimes reach ecstasy. This situation, if improperly guided, will affect the school spirit to a certain extent. How to "divert" part of girls' interests and excitement to ideological and political study is the guarantee to improve the teaching quality of ideological and political courses.

Psychologist Piaget once pointed out: "All mental work depends on interest." Interest is the key to developing intelligence, which can promote students to study hard more than intelligence and is the best teacher to mobilize students' enthusiasm. Psychologists believe that interest is the emotional basis for students to receive education, the most active aspect of non-intellectual factors, and the driving force for students to explore knowledge and promote the development of thinking. Successful experiences at home and abroad also tell us that in the teaching process, teachers can only apply the teaching content to students through various teaching methods and mobilize their initiative, so that the teaching content can truly be internalized into students' knowledge and externalized into students' abilities and emotional behaviors. Everyone knows that the teaching process without students' autonomous learning spirit is pale, lifeless and inefficient.

Students look for current political hotspots according to the teacher's speech requirements. They look for answers from newspapers, television, the Internet and even other magazines and publications. In the process of searching, students have at least browsed the recent major events at home and abroad, so that they pay attention to major events at home and abroad inadvertently, and discover national and world events from unintentional to intentional, so many things should be concerned about everything. Because students in each class give speeches and release news, an atmosphere of caring about major events at home and abroad is formed among female students, which attracts students' attention and stimulates students' interest in learning ideology and politics. In order to make a successful speech, students collect and select materials; Editors write speeches and give speeches themselves. This kind of activity, which integrates editing, guiding and acting, can fully cultivate students' autonomous learning ability and effectively improve their self-development ability.

Second, it helps to form a democratic style of study, cultivate students' sense of success and improve their self-confidence and self-esteem.

Interest depends on success. Students lack confidence in learning, feel inferior and doubt their learning ability, so it is impossible to have interest in learning. When students gain some knowledge through their own efforts, they will have a kind of psychological joy of success. Once students experience the happiness of success in their studies, they will have a strong thirst for knowledge about what they have learned, even if it is very difficult, and form confidence and enterprising spirit to strive for their goals.

Ask students to comment on current affairs and political hotspots on the platform before class. This teaching method has completely changed the traditional teaching method in the past, that is, classroom teaching is an indoctrination teaching method in which teachers talk and students listen. Let each student have the opportunity to speak to all students on the platform, and let other students express their opinions afterwards. Teachers let go of their hands and feet and let students fully participate in teaching, which is their understanding and trust. The equality between teachers and students is fully reflected in the teaching process, which is conducive to the formation of a democratic style of study. There are news to tell, opinions to talk about and opinions to express. Students can learn in a relaxed, happy and harmonious classroom teaching atmosphere, which can better develop their learning potential and cultivate their creative thinking ability. Female students love acting, but at the same time they are eager for their own success. They haven't been on stage for a long time, and the content has been fully prepared. Therefore, students will feel successful after speaking. Even if some students don't speak well for some reason, teachers should find their bright spots in time, praise and encourage them in time and fully affirm them. For example, because they are all female students, they have eliminated the shyness, timidity and worry of having male students present. Some students are ashamed to speak boldly to the whole class because of their different personalities. Even if they dare to speak carelessly, they will be in a hurry to speak on formal occasions. Faced with such students, teachers should still give affirmation, praise and encouragement. It is because of their speeches that the whole class has a better understanding of what is happening in a country and the world. It is their speeches that will trigger a democratic discussion atmosphere in the classroom. In short, no matter what kind of students are, they will be trained, encouraged and motivated by a teaching method such as speech under the guidance of teachers, so that students will be affirmed and happy, have a sense of success, let students know their self-worth, eliminate their fear of difficulties, carry forward the spirit of initiative and enhance their self-confidence and self-esteem. At the same time, we should also see that every successful experience will add joy and confidence to students, stimulate their enthusiasm and creativity, and make them glow with high enthusiasm.

Third, it is conducive to promoting students' awareness of participation, giving full play to students' main role and improving their practical ability.

German educator Dostoevsky once said, "The art of teaching is not to impart skills, but to inspire, awaken and inspire". Middle school students, especially high school students, have their own views and comments on people and things. They are generally unwilling to accept general preaching and have a strong desire for self-expression. At the same time, their abilities of understanding, generalization and dialectical thinking have also been preliminarily developed. In view of students' physiological and psychological characteristics, in classroom teaching, we can maximize students' participation in teaching activities, give full play to their potential and give them opportunities to fully display their talents. In the process of preparation, students should do it themselves, learn to search for relevant information in extracurricular books, newspapers and magazines, especially on the Internet, learn to screen, sort out and summarize, and use the theoretical viewpoints learned in this paper to study, think, write and edit. In this way, students can not only pay attention to social, national and world events in the process of preparing for the exam, but also experience and feel it personally in practice, cultivate students' awareness of active research and develop the habit of active research, so that students can change from a passive state of accepting knowledge to an active state of learning and exploring, and from an educated person to an active developer.

Fourth, it is conducive to cultivating students' ability to distinguish from society, improving students' understanding and mastery of the party's principles and policies, and stimulating students' sense of mission and responsibility.

The task of our ideological and political course is to guide students to learn and master the basic knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and related social sciences through education, to cultivate students' ability to observe and analyze social problems with correct viewpoints and methods, as well as their attitude and ability to actively participate in social practice, to guide students to establish a correct political direction, and to form a correct world outlook, outlook on life, values and good moral quality. The teaching method of commenting on current political hotspots before class allows students to analyze a current political hotspot with their knowledge of philosophy, economics and political science. This can not only help students discover the essence hidden in things and the laws of their changes and development through some seemingly unrelated phenomena, so as to improve their dialectical, logical and scientific thinking ability, but also help students better and correctly understand and grasp me through economic and political phenomena.

The so-called sense of responsibility refers to the individual's understanding, emotion, will, corresponding behavior and conscious attitude towards himself and others, family and collective, country and society. A sense of mission is a higher sense of responsibility. Let every student speak on the podium, which is conducive to promoting the formation of a style of study in which everyone stresses responsibility. A good style of study will benefit students for life. Because the style of study has a subtle penetrating power. It is infectious and easy to be perceived, accepted and imitated by students. Once a good style of study is formed, it will become a kind of collective public opinion. Everyone cares about national affairs and world affairs, which has an infectious effect on students' behavior. So the style of study is suggestive and enlightening. Caring about national and world affairs and understanding the party's principles and policies will eventually become students' conscious actions, which will certainly have a significant and far-reaching impact on cultivating students' sense of responsibility and mission. Secondly, in the process of preparing speeches, acquiring, collecting and processing social hot news, students of different grades will identify and selectively absorb information and news materials according to their knowledge because of the emphasis on the content of ideological and political courses they have learned. In the process of preparation, students use their own book knowledge. That is, using the basic knowledge of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and relevant social sciences to observe and analyze social hot issues, so as to better understand and master the party's principles and policies, which has played a positive role in promoting students to establish a correct political direction, a correct world outlook, outlook on life, values and form a good moral quality.

In a word, the teaching method of hot current affairs speech before class is an effective way to improve the quality of female middle school students in an all-round way, but it is not the only way. What I am talking about today is its functions, not to say that these functions completely replace other teaching methods of ideological and political course. Today, with the development of ideological and political course to quality education, our teachers are both researchers and practitioners, and their own situation and investment attitude are directly related to the success or failure of this reform. Therefore, we political teachers must clearly understand the situation, enhance their professionalism and sense of responsibility, enthusiastically join in the reform and embark on a new road of ideological and political teaching reform.
