Study on the phenomenon of junior middle school students' weariness of learning and its countermeasures
Correctly understanding and solving the problem of middle school students' weariness of learning is the key to implementing quality education and improving the quality of education and teaching. Through years of observation, understanding and investigation, the author believes that most middle school students have good concepts of right and wrong, love and hate, and ideological and moral values, which is a mature expression of self-awareness. However, the phenomenon of weariness of learning is also prominent. Facing the increasingly severe situation of middle school students' weariness of learning, how to recognize and evaluate this psychological problem and how to get middle school students out of this psychological dilemma and seek mental health has become an urgent problem for parents and educators.
1. Reasons why middle school students are tired of learning
1. Subjective reasons
The main reasons are: (1) They don't have a correct learning purpose, their basic knowledge is poor, and their grades can't keep up. (2) Improper learning methods make them feel that learning is a very painful, tiring and boring thing.
2. External factors
(1) Social factors mainly include: ① the impact of social "yellow culture" and the wave of market economy; ② The influence of off-campus amusement places such as business dance halls, electronic game rooms and billiards rooms has distracted the study attention of playful students; ③ The influence of graduation distribution, employment difficulty and enrollment expansion; (4) teachers and other knowledge groups, their lives are still relatively poor, and their wages are relatively low.
(2) Family factors. Parents are not good at teaching or disciplining, which leads to students' weariness of learning. Forced parents put pressure on their daughters, forcing their children to study according to their own subjective wishes, resulting in children's rebellious psychology and boredom with learning; Spoiled parents let their children go with the flow, which leads to their being lazy to study and play hard; Petty parents dote on their children in various ways and indulge them too much, making them dependent and lazy. In addition, disharmony or family breakdown will cause trauma to children's minds, make them depressed and affect their studies.
(3) School factors. It mainly includes: ① there is deviation in the direction of running a school or improper educational methods. On the one hand, under the effect of the examination-oriented mechanism, many schools unilaterally pursue the enrollment rate, which makes students physically and mentally overburdened and mentally stressed, making it difficult to cope with various pressures. On the other hand, it is inevitable that the school has been educating students on learning objectives, learning attitudes and personality for a long time, which makes students lack learning motivation. Discrimination against underachievers leads to students' rebellious attitude towards teachers and depressed learning mood. (2) Teachers have outdated teaching concepts and improper classroom teaching methods, such as attaching importance to knowledge transmission, rote memorization and sea tactics, but neglecting ideological and political education, learning method guidance and ability training; Pay more attention to top students and ignore the cultivation of most students; Divorced from reality, boring lectures, etc.
2. Countermeasures to solve the phenomenon of weariness of learning
In view of the above analysis of the reasons for weariness, I think the following corresponding countermeasures should be taken to solve the psychological problem of weariness.
1. Highlight the education of strengthening learning purpose and motivation.
Good learning purpose and motivation can stimulate patriotic enthusiasm, show positive learning attitude, strong sense of responsibility, and the desire to forge ahead. Social psychology tells us that self-awareness is self-evident, which can help individuals correctly understand their position, identity and role in social life, help individuals establish correct life goals and scientific life values, and enable individuals to establish correct self-esteem.
To strengthen the education of middle school students' learning goals and motivations, we should penetrate into the classroom teaching of various subjects, focusing on the following specific aspects of education: (1) Learning is the need of self-development and perfection. With the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid increase of human knowledge, it is impossible for a person to master modern scientific knowledge, not only to contribute to economic development and social progress, but also to gain a foothold in society. Generally speaking, on the contrary, people often can't get rich or get rich slowly. At present, only by learning scientific and cultural knowledge well can we get good employment opportunities. To create more wealth for society, they can enrich and improve themselves and enjoy modern civilization. (2) Learning is an objective requirement of social development. The present society is an information society, a rapidly changing and developing society. The development of the new era objectively requires people to have higher adaptability to social life. This puts forward many new requirements for people to adapt to social changes in a broader field. Therefore, only by studying hard can we adapt to the requirements of social development. (3) Learning is the obligation of citizens and the need of building a strong country. Every citizen has the responsibility to master advanced scientific and cultural knowledge through education, improve his ideological and moral level and technical and professional level, and strive to make more contributions to the country's economic development and social progress. As long as he studies hard and masters science and technology, China will be prosperous and invincible forever. (4) model education, patriotism and hard work education. The power of example is infinite, which plays a multiplier role in attracting students' attention and stimulating their thirst for knowledge. If students are patriotic, patriotic and hardworking, they will learn to revitalize China. Among many moral education contents in schools, these education should be in a prominent and important position.
2. organically combine school education with family education.
Good family education is very important to cultivate students' positive learning attitude. Therefore, as a school or class teacher, parents' meetings should be held regularly, and the class teacher should also make targeted home visits and contact with parents more, so that the information of both parties can be fed back in time, and teachers should also conduct psychological counseling in time if they find that students are tired of learning. As parents, we should first create a harmonious family environment and try to avoid or reduce children's psychological trauma. Because family relations have the most direct and strongest influence on children. Secondly, if children are found to have bad thoughts and behaviors, they should choose the correct education method and actively contact the school. Schools and parents should cooperate with each other, establish an education method based on persuasion, and use various forms of heuristic guidance according to the age characteristics, physical and mental development, hobbies and requirements of students or children. Mandatory discipline should never be adopted. However, it is necessary for the school to give appropriate punishment to students whose individual behavior is too dissolute and whose ideological work has been out of control for a long time. Students or children should also be given some frustration education, self-reliance exercise and psychological adjustment training, so as to enhance their ability to resist mental burden and enhance their learning confidence.
3. Schools should pay attention to stimulation and cultivate students' self-esteem and self-confidence.
Social psychology tells us that whether the organizers and educators of social groups attach importance to stimulating, cultivating and exerting the self-esteem and self-confidence of their members has different roles in work or study. Only by making those students who are tired of learning full of self-esteem and self-confidence can they be strict with themselves, study hard and push them to complete their study and work tasks. Schools are specialized organizations that carry out the mission of socialization, and teachers can promote students' socialization. The socialization of self-awareness will affect students, do more ideological education, inspire and induce, and eliminate psychological obstacles such as inferiority and weariness of learning. Secondly, schools should use appropriate reward and punishment methods to promote the generation and development of students' individual socialization and self-awareness. Due to the implementation of rewards and punishments, the individual experience is affected. Over time, the individual experience gradually changes from the psychological behavior norms of social groups to the psychological behavior norms of individuals, thus achieving the purpose of changing the mood of being tired of learning.
4. Organize colorful second class activities.
The second classroom activity is an effective way to stimulate and cultivate students' interest in learning. As positive middle school students, they are not satisfied with classroom acceptance, but hope to get demand through extracurricular activities or opportunities to participate in practice, which greatly stimulates their learning motivation. Students can be organized to participate in activities such as telling stories, giving speeches and reading newspapers with the theme of "diligent study", so that students can realize the social value of reading. Therefore, a positive learning attitude can be developed. You can also organize, arrange or guide students to conduct social surveys in other places or hometowns, hold some survey reports and essay competitions, and cultivate their interest in learning in practice. We can organize interest groups or special classes according to students' hobbies and specialties, so that students can give full play to their talents and promote diligence.
5. Use lively classroom teaching methods.
Appropriate teaching methods are helpful to solve students' ideological problems, enliven classroom atmosphere and mobilize students' learning enthusiasm. How to put it into practice (1) Implement democratic teaching, change simple indoctrination teaching into modern teaching methods such as performance, speech, debate, discussion, competition and multimedia to activate the classroom, and make students, especially scholars, tired of actively participating in classroom teaching and doing classroom work. In this way, students will have the interest and motivation to further study. So does the class teacher. (2) Check more and guide the homework of tired scholars. Only in this way can they realize the concept of equality, feel the kindness of teachers and have a thirst for knowledge. (3) Homework should be moderately innovative, reflect the ability training, and put an end to "sea tactics". (4) Give students more guidance on learning methods and give them the key to learning. Improve self-study ability and stimulate interest in learning. (5) Contact with social hotspots. Social hotspots are full of the flavor of the times. Teachers should combine the knowledge points related to teaching materials to teach, so as to enliven the classroom atmosphere, stimulate learning interest and improve teaching efficiency. (6) The language should be vivid, humorous and emotional, and the teaching mode should be appropriate. (7) Use thought-provoking cartoons and illustrations, which are neat, beautiful and elegant.
6. Establish a harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
Emotional harmony between teachers and students can not only ensure the smooth progress of teaching, but also attract students' attention and arouse their enthusiasm and initiative in learning. Educational psychology shows that emotion has the function of migration and is the key to open the window of students' mind. If teachers can get along with students on an equal footing, they can turn the traditional teacher-student relationship into a new one of equality, mutual respect and love, shorten the psychological distance, and turn the contact with students in class into more active contact with students. Change teaching to teaching in the middle of students' seats, shorten the distance between teachers and students in time and space, sincerely care for and respect students, fully tap their bright spots to give encouragement and praise, and let them feel the teacher's maternal love. Such a teacher will certainly be respected by students, so that students can concentrate on class with a positive attitude and study harder. "Who can be heartless if people are not vegetation?" As long as we attach importance to emotional teaching in teaching,
7. Intensify the rectification of commercial dance halls, electronic game rooms, billiards rooms, networks, books and periodicals, audio-visual products, etc.
In order to create a social environment conducive to the healthy growth of teenagers, minors are not allowed to enter commercial dance halls at any time; Business video game rooms and billiards rooms shall not be open to primary and secondary school students except for statutory holidays; Conduct a major investigation of the Internet, books, periodicals, and audio-visual products, eliminate unhealthy things such as pornography, murder, and terror, and severely punish manufacturers and disseminators according to law.
To sum up, the reasons for middle school students' weariness of learning are complicated, and the ways to solve their weariness of learning are diverse and interpenetrating. We need to actively explore, reasonably choose or comprehensively use them in practice, and the best results can be achieved through the efforts of students themselves, the cooperation of schools, families and society.
This may also be a kind of boredom:
Learning weariness is a psychological and behavioral response mode of students with a negative attitude towards learning, which is manifested in biased understanding of learning, negative emotional expression and behavior away from learning activities. Every class and all schools have students who are tired of learning. They are the urgent problems to be solved in implementing quality education and improving teaching quality in an all-round way in schools, and they are also the most difficult problems in teachers' work. In order to improve the cultural quality of the whole nation and develop human resources, educators should attach importance to the educational research on the phenomenon of learning weariness in the educational process.
First, seriously study and master the reasons for being tired of learning.
As the saying goes, "only knowing people can teach well, and teaching well requires knowing people in advance." Mastering the learning psychology of students who are tired of learning and its causes is the premise of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. According to the survey, there are eight major differences in learning among students who are tired of learning: poor reading ability; Poor writing ability; Poor computing ability; Poor thinking ability; Poor expression ability; Poor knowledge transfer and application ability; Poor self-control ability; Poor study habits. They have different degrees of gap with their classmates in their study career, can't keep up with the teaching progress stipulated in the syllabus, can't fully and effectively master the knowledge and skills taught by teachers, and have a sense of failure, incompetence, inferiority and boredom in their study. There are many reasons for being tired of learning, which are influenced by some intellectual factors. There are also non-intellectual factors.
Second, patient guidance to help students correct their weariness of learning.
Schools and teachers have the responsibility to help students who are tired of learning correct their weariness. Students who are tired of learning can be transformed. In the process of education, we should create an atmosphere, patiently guide them, create an environment for them to participate in learning, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and help them correct their weariness of learning.
1. Correct learning psychology.
To help students who are tired of learning correct their weariness, we must first correct their weariness. In the process of education, teachers should use the key of love to open a rigid mind and truly, profoundly and persistently love.
2. Create a learning environment.
In the process of teaching, teachers should always pretend that they are tired of learning and create opportunities for them to participate in learning extensively. When preparing lessons, we should understand the knowledge structure of students who are tired of learning, and give priority to five things in the learning process, that is, questions, answers, calculus, correction and counseling. 4. Regular inspection, guidance, encouragement and strengthening. Consultation, that is, teacher consultation, parents consultation and eugenics consultation. Special means designing special operations and specifying special evaluation conditions. This creates an environment for students who are tired of learning to participate in learning.
3. Correct learning behavior.
Students who are tired of learning lose confidence and dislike learning because of poor foundation, improper learning methods and low learning efficiency. Teachers must attach importance to the guidance of learning methods and run through the whole process of preview, explanation and practice to correct their weariness of learning.
(]) Learning stage.
In the preview stage, students who are tired of learning often preview by browsing, and rarely or never ask questions, so there is no requirement to dispel doubts. In this regard, they always think that their personal learning ability is low, they can't understand and learn, just waiting for the teacher to explain. In the preview stage, teachers must try to stimulate their curiosity and tell them that the whole class is on the same starting line when learning new lessons. As long as they are willing to work hard and participate, they will certainly learn well, encourage their confidence and courage in learning new knowledge, and guide them to follow the road signs of after-class questions when previewing the text. Make an outline, write down what you don't understand, ask questions as questions, and solve them after listening.
(2) the explanation stage.
In the explanation stage, students who are tired of learning don't take notes and pay attention to the problem, but deliberately focus on the fixed steps of doing the problem and don't explore the thinking process of the problem. In the classroom, their thinking is closed, their expression is blank, and their thinking is out of step with the teacher's teaching content and teaching methods. In this regard, teachers should use enlightening language, step by step, from easy to difficult, spiral upward, the slope should be small, and the requirements should not be too high, so that every lesson, every question, every step and every symbol can be understood by them. In the process of explaining, teachers should integrate knowledge and interest, ask questions at any time, and promote their participation, so as to hold their thinking rope and prevent them from being distracted. Teachers should teach students who are tired of learning to take notes, think and answer questions during the explanation stage, so as to improve the listening effect.
(3) homework practice stage.
In the consolidation exercise stage, students who are tired of learning don't actively think, stop when they encounter difficulties, wait for the teacher to explain or copy their classmates' homework to complete the task, or simply don't do homework, and knowledge loopholes accumulate, forming a vicious circle that can't keep up with the learning progress. In this regard, teachers should cultivate the habit of reading textbooks first, then sorting out class notes and finally doing exercises when guiding the consolidation of homework. Teachers should arrange homework at different levels.
