As a teacher, I hope my students will become talents in the future. As a parent, I hope my children will get ahead in the future. When educating students or children, many teachers and parents hate iron and steel because they are eager to "expect success". They always talk about criticism and write harsh words on their faces. I have always thought: "You can't correct unless you say you can't run, you can't run, and you can't make mistakes." It seems that students can only grow up through criticism, and criticism has become a conventional weapon for teachers to deal with students. Sometimes there are some extreme practices. Use some irritating language, such as: granite head, do not understand; Dead mice can't feel cold. Like a deadly bomb bombing, he is indifferent to students and perfunctory about their questions. In Ah Q, everyone can find their own shadow; Teachers may be able to see themselves screaming and depressed in the above camera. Damn, can iron be turned into steel? We all know the answer. Of course, this kind of "hate" is not a contradiction between ourselves and the enemy, a class struggle, a prejudice that is eager for success, or an emotional impulse. Hate, iron does not turn into steel. On the contrary, it arouses students' hatred, cuts scars in students' hearts, hurts teachers and students' feelings, hates the subjects you teach, dislikes your famous teachers, affects the teaching effect, and sometimes brings unhappiness to our teachers. Out of kindness and responsibility, for the sake of students' future and future, the result has deeply hurt students. Our teacher is a pain maker. A student once said, "He ruined my self-esteem, and such a shame only aroused hatred in my heart, so that I would never go near that class again in my life." This extreme practice denies individual differences, makes children lose self-confidence, self-esteem and self-love, and leads to failure and polarization. Children are afraid of failure and are willing to fail. After the fall, they could never get up again. They don't like classes, study and go to school.
Most teachers are not irresponsible or lacking in love. But it always backfires because of the lack of an art of education. Appreciation education has injected new artistic strength into education and teaching, and quality education needs appreciation education.
What is appreciation education? Appreciation education is no stranger to us. As parents, we use appreciation education when we teach our children how to speak and walk. Parents always pay attention to their children's progress from scratch with the most appreciative and proud eyes. Even if the child speaks more harshly and later, we will say that "the nobles speak late." Parents never complain, but constantly encourage and appreciate. If a child learns to walk and wrestle more, his parents will never laugh at him, but will only help him persistently. As a result, every normal hungry child learned to talk and walk. This example tells us: "Appreciation leads to success in education". It consciously uses our warm hands to promote the healthy growth of children, and at the same time, at the same time, it maximizes the development of children while retaining their individuality.
First, the theoretical basis of appreciation education.
William james, a famous American psychologist, famously said, "The deepest principle of human nature is to hope others appreciate you." Appreciation education is a new educational concept based on this principle, which is completely consistent with the development direction of the current new curriculum and has been paid more and more attention by the educational circles. Looking at the current development of education, appreciation education is mainly cited as an idea in the field of education, but the attempt and practice in classroom teaching with the dominant position of teaching still stays at the basic level.
Appreciation education is an evaluation. Some surveys show that teachers' evaluation will have a great influence on students, and even determine their lives. Evaluation can awaken students' subjective consciousness and establish their subjective status. New york's first black governor, Roger Rawls, skipped classes, fought and did nothing when he was a child, but a word from the new headmaster, Paul, changed his life. The headmaster said to him, "As soon as I saw it, I knew you would be the governor of New York in the future." The headmaster's words had a great influence and awakened Paul's subjective consciousness. After hard work, he really became governor. Evaluation means developing the potential of the assessed. We should enhance students' subjective consciousness, self-confidence and internal drive through students' subjective participation in evaluation.
Appreciation is interpreted in the dictionary as giving praise or praise to arouse people's enthusiasm. It makes the object get physical and psychological pleasure, and makes people feel happy when doing things. Stimulate nerve cells to be active and improve learning efficiency. In education and teaching, praising and affirming students through positive education can stimulate students' self-motivation, protect students' self-esteem, mobilize students' enthusiasm, and make students be mobilized in the education process, and the effect tends to maximize. German educator Dostoevsky said: "The art of teaching is not to impart skills, but to inspire, awaken and inspire." Teacher Huo Maozheng, a famous national educator called "national treasure" of China by Premier Zhou Enlai, also regards "encouragement, appreciation, participation and expectation" as his eight-character policy for students. As an idea, the positive role of appreciation in education has long been recognized by educators.
Isabella Chow, the current president of China Tao Xingzhi Research Association, who first proposed and tried "appreciation education" in China, expressed his appreciation. In the process of educating his daughter, he actively explored the true meaning of education, from the word "love" to the word "action", and then summarized it as "appreciation education", and came to the conclusion that appreciation is the "golden key" for children to constantly pursue success. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory holds that people's higher-level needs are not only the most basic physiological and safety needs, but also the needs of respect. It is the highest psychological demand of people to gain the affirmation and appreciation of others and the positive evaluation of society. Ausubel, a famous American psychologist, put forward the concept of "affiliated internal drive" in his motivation theory: a kind of motivation for students to gain derivative status through the recognition of their parents and teachers. The motivation of planting is not the pursuit of knowledge itself, but the pursuit of self-esteem satisfaction beyond knowledge (recognized by parents and teachers). In fact, Ausubel's theory regards "appreciation", an emotional factor that stimulates students' internal motivation, as the attribution that has a positive impact on students' learning.
Entering the new century means entering the period of educational reform and development in China. With the gradual popularization and implementation of the new curriculum, its core idea is "for the development of each student, teachers are required to face all students, recognize the advantages of each student, develop their potential and cultivate their specialties;" We must pay attention to the all-round and harmonious development of students and respect their unique feelings and understanding. Therefore, it can be said that the new curriculum concept provides directional guidance for appreciation education. In this context, the concept of appreciation education is becoming more and more mature. We can define appreciation education as follows: "Appreciation education" is a new educational concept that gives the educated trust, respect, understanding, encouragement, tolerance and reminder according to the essential needs of people who are eager to be appreciated. Through the implementation of appreciation education, students' creative consciousness and interest can be stimulated, and their creative ability can be gradually formed; Students can get appreciation, encouragement and emotional edification, so as to develop optimistic and healthy psychology, actively create personality, develop multi-directional thinking ability and form good study and living habits; Educators can also praise the space for creating free association and the opportunity for students to give full play.
