Comments on "Positive Psychology in Education" (1) I recently read some books about teacher psychology. I was lucky enough to read the book "Positive Psychology Education" by Mr. Zhou. After reading it, I was deeply touched. To this end, I want to express my understanding of this book.
This book provides useful knowledge and strategies for people to learn positive psychological adjustment and form an optimistic attitude. Mastering these knowledge and strategies is of great significance to teachers engaged in teaching and educating people. "Positive Psychology in Education" is named "Positive Psychology and Teachers' Psychological Adjustment" because it selects some positive psychological contents that are helpful to teachers' psychological adjustment according to the reality of primary and secondary school teachers. I think it makes sense. Some psychological measurement tools and training programs are used in the book, which need us learners to practice. And there is a good platform for counseling its content, so that we learners can better understand the relevant knowledge and learn to use relevant strategies for psychological adjustment.
The book introduces the concepts of "learning ability" and "learned powerlessness". In fact, what impressed me most is that the research results on "learned powerlessness" introduced in the book have been brought into the field of positive psychology. Among them, emotional management ability is very useful for our middle school teachers. Emotional management ability refers to the ability to manage the emotions of oneself and others and control the way of emotional expression. People with strong emotional management skills, on the one hand, can show appropriate emotions in appropriate occasions; On the other hand, he is also good at regulating the emotions of himself and others. For example, in a formal gathering, we should properly express our joy, express our sadness at a sad funeral, control our anger in interpersonal conflicts, and be good at adjusting the atmosphere to stimulate others' positive emotions or comfort others' negative emotions. Emotional management ability consists of the following four abilities: the ability to keep an open mind about happy and unhappy emotions; According to the judgment and utilization of information, the ability to mature into or stay away from a certain emotion; Mature ability to perceive emotions related to oneself and others; Ability to manage oneself and others' emotions.
This book still has a lot to learn from. I will combine the methods in the book with the actual situation to better complete the teaching task. Make students feel that they really need us. We are not only the bright lights on the students' way forward, but also the creators and shapers of their souls. I will communicate with them in an appropriate way to relieve their pressure, and my colleagues will also relieve themselves. I hope our spiritual communication, their study and spirit can go up a storey still higher.
I have read "Positive Psychology in Education" (II) There is a saying in "Positive Psychology in Education": "Many teachers are full of enthusiasm when they first enter the profession, taking the three-foot podium as their career and cultivating talents as their responsibility, hoping to be full of peaches and plums when they retire. However, shortly after entering the business, they found that this profession was not easy, their enthusiasm for joining the education cause was quickly exhausted, and their sense of job burnout was increasing. " I think I'm the one who walked this road. In the face of several simple formulas, there are still children who can't remember them many times. Patience is disintegrating bit by bit, and even they are impatient. But after consulting other experienced teachers, all kinds of methods can only achieve short-term results. After a long time, my parents are tired, my children are disgusted, and I don't feel professional happiness.
After reading Positive Psychology in Education, I realized that the key to success is not to eliminate all weaknesses, but to fully stimulate the enthusiasm of individuals for constructive strength and virtue. Dedication, vitality, dedication and concentration are the common virtues of human beings, and teachers should have such virtues. If these virtues are brought into full play in their work and life, they will certainly train more outstanding students and make their professional life colorful and full of vitality. "Positive psychology", as its name implies, teaches people how to face life positively and how to get happiness and satisfaction. This is the nectar most needed by the increasingly desertified souls of all living things in modern society. Positive psychology advocates the positive orientation of psychological research, studies the positive psychological quality of human beings, pays attention to human health, happiness and development, and tries to interpret and practice psychology with new ideas and an open attitude. As Martin seligman, the initiator of the positive psychology movement and a famous contemporary American psychologist, said, "Contemporary psychology is at a new historical turning point. Psychologists play an extremely important role and shoulder a new mission, that is, how to promote the development of individuals and society, help people move towards happiness, make children grow up healthily, make families happy, make employees comfortable and satisfy the public."
Ogawa once said: "Time is behind you, and life is waiting for our sudden look back. When you treat your work and study with a research attitude, the flowers in spring, the streams in summer, the bright moon in autumn and the sunset in winter will all enter our increasingly perfect life with more beautiful charm. " Comparing their performances in different stages, I really feel how important a teacher's positive working state is to teaching effect and education life. Although the teacher's job is to write stories, discoveries and reading comprehension in class, I hope that more fragrant flowers will bloom in the season of picking fruits, which is full of distant poetry.
After reading "Positive Psychology in Education" (3), Harle read "Positive Psychology in Education". As soon as I opened the book, I was attracted by a paragraph in the preface: everyone has two forces of struggle in his heart: positive forces (curiosity, humor, kindness, etc. ) and negative forces (anger, resentment, inferiority, etc. These two forces are like the yin and yang poles in Tai Chi, which disappear and grow. Therefore, as a teacher, we should learn some positive mental knowledge, strive to inject positive energy into ourselves and be a happy and complete person.
Usually, most happy people are enthusiastic about giving, and they can have more happiness when giving, which is a virtuous circle. If teachers can become the people who sow happiness, they can not only have happiness, but also make their lives full of vitality, and the students they cultivate will be happier and more innovative.
After reading this book, sowing happiness is the value of teachers' existence, which makes me feel particularly great. The happiness that teachers convey to students is not only knowledge, but also moral character, ideal, passion and optimistic attitude. All the experiences that can make children feel happy can reflect our values, so it is a shame that we are stingy with our smiles in order to establish dignity. So in the next teaching time, I hope to be a person who spreads happiness and make my students feel happy because of the existence of teachers.
Teachers' life has an example effect. In a sense, teachers' life is a mirror of the whole society. When teachers live a happy life and work smoothly, it shows that our society is civilized and harmonious.
Later, I read this book, which said: "For all teachers, if they want to have a happy life, they must use the theory and method of positive psychology to plan their lives."
You can adjust yourself from the following aspects:
1. Exercise actively and regularly (if teachers can exercise regularly, they will make themselves energetic and cheerful, and at the same time improve their ability to resist stress).
2. Keep regular and adequate sleep.
3. Maintain a stable friendship.
4, often get together with friends.
5. Work hard for the valuable goals you set.
Educating and cultivating people is to promote a person to adapt to social requirements and social norms better and faster. The process of human growth is a process of gradually becoming reasonable, and this process is also a process of psychological maturity, with complex price comparison. A mature person makes others feel reasonable, which is what we call "being sensible".
Teachers' confusion: The ancients said, "There are five bushels of rice at home, so you can't be king of the children". It is really troublesome to discipline children since ancient times, especially because children are not sensible or even stubborn, and education and discipline are very troublesome. This also implies that it is not easy for us as educators, because we are bound to encounter these and other troubles.
Case life: In real life, I met such an ignorant child, whose ignorance is reflected in:
1, I don't know how to express my needs correctly. Although my grades are ok, my habits are poor. He often does some unusual actions to attract attention.
2, only care about themselves, regardless of others, self-centered, no self-control ability.
3, no sense of cooperation, can not find their own suitable position and role in the team, special behavior. Often make trouble without reason, make trouble without reason.
Coping strategies:
1. A view of human nature that believes in the origin of life.
2. Set a high but achievable standard for children and provide support for them in this process.
3. Adopt a stable and authoritative parenting style.
4. Provide skills training in areas where children's abilities are low.
Conclusion: Faced with "ignorant" children, we often feel irritable, and such students become the kind of problem students in our hearts. Now that I have read the coping strategies in the book, I feel more secure and less at a loss.
Finally, the same sentence: As a teacher, we should learn some knowledge of psychology, strive to inject positive energy into ourselves and be a complete person!
Reflections on Positive Psychology in Education (4) "When we focus on the positive side, we see progress and hope." This sentence written on the cover of "Positive Psychology in Education" gave me the strength to wait and read it, expecting to gain hope and progress from the book.
I remember a song that said: I cried and laughed when I was a child, and I laughed and cried when I grew up. Even if "positive" represents optimism, my heart yearns for it. However, when I face life and work alone as an adult, many troubles come from all directions, and I understand why I said, "Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory." If you are intimidated and overwhelmed by this 1989, you can only bury yourself in despair. Only by actively seeing hope through the remaining one or two can we broaden our life path. And to do this, we must have a positive and powerful psychology. As the author said: "Everyone has two forces of resistance, positive and negative. These two forces are like the yin and yang poles in Tai Chi, and they transform each other. " Therefore, we really need to learn a little positive psychology, strive to inject positive energy into ourselves, and guide students to face learning positively at the same time.
As a teacher, our work is a bit special, because teachers' lives are closely related to students' lives. We strive to find the fun of education and teaching, not only to make ourselves work happily, but also to bring more pleasant experiences to students and drive them to study happily.
Positive psychology requires teachers to have the ability of discerning people, and believes that everyone can become a talent, and they are keenly aware of each student's personality, so as to correctly guide and train them to become talents, instead of just talking about heroes by "achievements." In this way, you will find that although the students in the class have different grades, they are proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts. As long as you are willing to work hard, everyone has the direction of success. What a wonderful teaching ideal this is. However, every teacher has his own mentality. At the same time, teachers are hard and complicated. In this state, it is difficult for teachers to listen patiently, and it is also difficult to communicate with all kinds of naughty children who fight with teachers every day and try their best to avoid learning. So many times they are used to solving problems in simple ways, so that students with problems are often "subdued" rather than persuaded. Finally, the problem seems to be solved, but it still exists. Therefore, it is not an easy task to truly realize the goal of everyone becoming a talent.
This requires our hearts to be full of love and fully accept every student, based on sincerity, not unprincipled accommodation. At the same time, we should treat each other as equals, treat each other with courtesy, trust each other, and solve problems in the collision of hearts. Some students make trouble in class. We should not take it for granted that he is a troublemaker. Maybe he is eager to get the teacher's attention. Some students refuse to admit that they made a mistake. Don't just resent that they don't know how to repent. Maybe it's because they are punished too heavily after each mistake, and they are too scared. Some students are always in conflict with their classmates. Don't rashly think that he is an unsociable child, perhaps because he doesn't know the right way to communicate with others. Therefore, when students have various problems, don't rush to blame, but listen to their voices more, so as to understand the root causes of these problems. Then guide them to understand their own problems bit by bit, and finally be able to change their own problems actively. This will make us have a good teacher-student relationship, make every student feel love, help them get out of the negative experience of learning and have fun in the learning process. This is like Dayu controlling water. Only by "dredging" the root causes of problems in students' minds will their problems not be "flooded" again.
When we face the sunshine, our life will be full of light, and we will face our work and treat our students with the sunshine. I believe that under the catalysis of positive attitude, our education and teaching work will certainly have many unexpected gains.
Positive Psychology in Education (5) The book Positive Psychology in Education has given me a new baptism in the way of education. We should take children's positive experience as the way, aim at cultivating children's positive personality, guide a happy road for children's future, and let us feel the same with children.
First, be a positive role model for children.
Children are good at imitation and have strong plasticity. Example has great influence and appeal on students, which can make students change their understanding and improve their self-evaluation ability. The above example is precisely because primary school students often regard the teacher's understanding of things as the only truth and are used to imitating the teacher's words and deeds. In their minds, the teacher is perfect. Therefore, through the above example, we should reflect, we should be strict with ourselves, give full play to our role as an example, influence students imperceptibly with our words and deeds, and be the guide on the road of students' growth. For a time, I found scraps of paper on the ground in the afternoon, and I repeatedly taught them to keep clean and tidy. When I saw the garbage, I should take the initiative to pick it up, but it was useless. Later, I said nothing. Seeing the garbage, I smiled and took the initiative to pick it up and throw it into the trash can for a week. I watched the children's every move and slowly found that the class's hygiene had improved, and I didn't want to teach any more. The power of example is infinite.
There is a famous saying in life: the power of example is infinite. If the teacher is diligent, the child will understand the effort; If the teacher works hard, the child will learn to cherish it; When the teacher does his duty, the child will understand that being a man should be responsible; When the teacher is calm, the child learns to observe; When the teacher is serious, the child learns the method; If the teacher is tolerant, the child will not care; When the teacher is happy, children will have more happy things in their eyes; Teachers are kind, and children's hearts must be broad, kind and full of sunshine.
Second, leave a "blank" for children's education.
In real life, many teachers are very serious and responsible. They hope that students can get good grades and grow up healthily, but they have made great efforts and the effect is not ideal. Why is this happening? Because many teachers' efforts are contrary to psychological laws. In teaching, I feel the same every day. I prepare lessons carefully, attend classes, correct my homework and arrange everything. I am very busy. Children spin like gyroscopes and dare to speak loudly. I don't know that in this case, children's opportunities for free learning and their abilities of autonomy, cooperation and inquiry have been stifled; As everyone knows, this kind of full-house irrigation has caused great psychological burden to children.
Fish soup is good, but it should not be too much. Although knowledge is good, it needs self-digestion. I don't know that education needs to pay attention to the art of "blank space". Appropriate blank space can produce aesthetic feeling and let children have their own understanding, values, ideals and beliefs. As the educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, "Teachers teach any class in order to' talk' without talking. In other words, "teaching" is to realize that there is no need to teach. Just as the book says, let children's psychology gain immunity in study and life. Keep children away from "time poverty" and "space poverty". Close the spiritual distance between teachers and students and guide children to success step by step.
Third, be one of your own with your children.
The new relationship between teachers and students is the real spiritual communication between people and the result of mutual care between teachers and students. First of all, we should respect students, understand them and be their bosom friends. Looking back on our usual education, when children make mistakes, they may criticize them indiscriminately and use the authority of teachers to suppress them, but they don't know that people are born with a sense of resistance, which will hurt their self-esteem and stay away from your education. After reading this book, we realize that we should be a "self-effect" child, squat down and listen to their voices, actively communicate with students, reason together, and analyze solutions to problems together. Of course, it is also necessary to give children some necessary punishments appropriately and jump out of "their own effects". For example, when children have some principled problems, it will not be conducive to the correction of children's problems if they blindly indulge in their own effects.
In short, our teachers should deal with the "stories" between teachers and students decisively according to the actual situation, and shape children's good behavior habits and qualities in each "story".
