At present, the political teaching in middle schools still stays on the rigid teaching track with the aim of entering higher schools. The teacher talks empty talk and explains the main points of knowledge in class; When reviewing, students recite the main points; Try to answer the main points word for word during the exam. Students study only for grades, for the college entrance examination. Teachers often report that students are becoming more and more difficult to teach, students are tired of learning and have no enthusiasm in class, and teachers' emotions are affected. In the long run, it is not only not conducive to the improvement of teaching quality, but also to the physical and mental health of teachers and students. Therefore, it is urgent to improve students' interest in learning politics. Confucius said, "A knower is not as good as a knower, and a good person is not as good as a musician." "Good" and "happy" mean willing to learn, which means loving to learn. It can be seen that cultivating interest is the first step to success. And psychology believes that interest is the best teacher, and interest is a psychological tendency to try to understand and explore things. Interest can be directly transformed into learning motivation and become an internal factor to motivate students to learn. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate students' interest in learning to improve the teaching effect of ideological and political courses. So, how to stimulate students' interest in learning? According to several years of teaching experience, I will talk about several points: 1. Stimulate students' interest with interesting classroom lead-in. "Everything is difficult at the beginning" and "A good beginning is half the battle". It says "If you want to achieve something, you must have a good start". Good classroom lead-in can stimulate students' interest in learning and strong desire to explore, which is the fuse to make the classroom active. In the teaching of ideological and moral courses, a good introduction of new courses will often directly affect the teaching content and effect of the whole class. Therefore, the choice of lead is very important, and the content of lead must be aimed at students' reality and teaching content. Forms can be varied, such as songs, legends, allusions, famous sayings and aphorisms, news information, current affairs news, life examples, appropriate metaphors and so on. Only lively and interesting, closely related to the classroom content, can focus students' attention, arouse students' interest, stimulate their curiosity, make students' thinking active, and thus enter the new curriculum with expectations. For example, when talking about the box topic of "Subjectivity must conform to objectivity", according to "Subjectivity must conform to objectivity", tell an allusion of "the painter paints a cow" to arouse students' interest. The story describes ". He showed it to some officials in the imperial court, and they all praised him. However, when he showed the picture to a farmer, the farmer smiled. He said,' When two cows fight, in order to knock each other down severely, their tails will always be caught in the middle and will never be held high'. Hearing this, the painter blushed and dared not make any noise. So why did the painter make such a joke? What does this mean? This is what we are going to learn today-subjectivity must conform to objectivity. Therefore, this method is interesting, easy to inspire students, at the same time, it can broaden students' horizons and broaden their knowledge, thus making teachers' lectures more vivid; Students' study is easier, more interesting and easier to accept and remember. Second, establish an equal and harmonious relationship between teachers and students to stimulate students' interest. In teaching activities, harmonious teacher-student relationship directly affects students' learning mood, and psychological harmony between teachers and students can improve teaching effect. Therefore, teachers should love students with a fiery heart and treat them sincerely. Only by treating students equally can we win their trust. Care about them in life; Help them study; Praise more and criticize less in class, often walk among them, talk to them, participate in their activities, serve them and become their bosom friends. No matter what course, if students like the teacher, they will believe what the teacher teaches, be willing to learn what the teacher teaches, and naturally show strong interest in the lessons taught by the teacher; If students don't like or even fear the teacher, it is difficult to make them interested in the lessons taught by the teacher. Obviously, in order to improve teaching efficiency, we must consider the relationship between teachers and students. In other words, to stimulate students' interest in learning, we must cultivate the close relationship between students and teachers in teaching and create a good environment for teachers and students to be psychologically compatible. Therefore, our ideological and political teachers should make use of their professional advantages, be intimate friends of students, and establish a good relationship of mutual trust, respect, help, unity, friendship and common progress. Only when students are close to their teachers can they believe in the Tao and enjoy it. Third, improve teachers' own quality and stimulate students' interest. The core of implementing quality education is to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability. Therefore, students' subjective consciousness should be emphasized in teaching. Teachers' role in the teaching process should also be changed from an actor who sings a "one-man show" on the stage to a "director", and the whole "play" should be arranged and arranged well. A teacher is like an instructor in a war. He should make wise and decisive decisions at any time. Because when organizing students to discuss, unexpected innovative ideas may appear in their studies. If teachers stick to standard answers, it is easy to stifle students' interest in learning. Therefore, teachers should constantly improve their own quality. In addition to excellent professional knowledge, we should also have rich extracurricular knowledge and cultural literacy. I believe everyone feels the same way, if a political teacher has a wide range of knowledge and strong organizational ability. Then, political lessons will become more attractive, cultivate students' interest in learning knowledge and expand their thinking; It can also change the closed teaching mode of passive and one-way indoctrination in the past to an active and open teaching mode. The so-called Rome was not built in a day, and teachers should have high quality, which is certainly not achieved overnight. However, in order to meet the needs of the development of the situation, political teachers should constantly improve their theoretical accomplishment, so as to make the political lesson thorough and set an example in students' minds, thus stimulating students' interest in learning and improving the learning effect. Fourth, use ideological and moral lessons to cultivate students' good behavior habits. First, start with small things and pay attention to details. A person's habits are good, and his quality is high. Often reflected in small things. Therefore, when cultivating students' good habits, we should start from small things and pay attention to details. For example, students' sitting posture and standing posture in class, students' gestures and eyes when answering questions, etiquette and dietary equality in life are all issues that we should pay attention to when carrying out education. It may be a little "tired" at first, but it won't take long to get used to it and become a natural thing in life. Second, do the same thing at a fixed time, because it takes a long time to form a habit. Therefore, it is difficult for junior students to form good habits by themselves, which requires the outside world to provide them with a good environment. We can make them do the same thing at a fixed time to strengthen it and promote the formation of a habit. When cultivating students to develop good language accumulation habits, I use the fixed time of "3: 1 am" to let students accumulate an ancient poem, an aphorism and an allegorical saying. At the beginning, either the contributors forgot to copy, or some people avoided writing, and even the teachers had to make spot checks to complete it. After a period of persistence, the language accumulation habit of "three ones in the morning" for self-study in the morning has been formed, and even before self-study in the morning, "three ones in the morning" has been completed, which shows the importance of habits. Third, the habit of home-school cooperation is gradually formed over time. It is sometimes difficult to achieve the habit of getting twice the result with half the effort by one's own efforts. We should make full use of the cooperation between home and school to accomplish it together. For example, when cultivating students' reading habits, I make full use of the role of parents. In addition to reading excellent articles to students at school every day to stimulate their interest, I will also leave reading assignments for students to sign. Over time, many students have regarded reading as a habit and benefited a lot from it. Several students with high writing level in the class all benefit from having good reading habits. Fourth, set goals and strengthen habits. Different goals, different processes and different results. At the beginning of the semester, I ask every student to get into the habit of what kind of excellent behavior you will do this semester, and stick it on the wall, and use appropriate time to continuously strengthen it. After a while, let the students evaluate themselves. This semester, quite a few students have completed their own plans. At the end of the semester, I asked students to set holiday habit goals and asked parents to cooperate with them. In short, there are many effective ways to stimulate students' interest and initiative in ideological and political teaching. As long as teachers carefully study the textbooks, pay attention to the subjects and methods of preparing lessons, and choose flexible and practical methods, they will certainly achieve the goal of stimulating students' interest in learning and improving the teaching effect of ideological and political courses.
