Tom said, "Listening is the highest form of politeness." Listening carefully is an important sign of good quality in interpersonal communication. Mathematics course "listening" is mainly a process of listening carefully with ears, discriminating other people's languages, making their own judgments and forming their own ideas and opinions. It means: I will listen to other people's complaints, try my best to understand and be considerate, and make a positive response, that is, give a correct evaluation. Curriculum standards also clearly point out that students should "learn to cooperate with others and communicate their own thinking process and results with others" in mathematics learning activities. However, only when students develop good listening habits and have good listening ability can they cooperate and communicate with others better. Below, the author will talk about several methods to cultivate students' listening ability in mathematics teaching in lower grades of primary schools.
1 Create vivid and interesting teaching situations to stimulate students' interest in listening.
Mr. Lu Xun said: "learning without interest is tantamount to a kind of hard labor;" Where there is no interest, there is no wisdom and inspiration. "Interest is always the best teacher for students, but for active children, listening is undoubtedly boring. However, the new curriculum standard emphasizes that the compilation of the first mathematics textbook "starts from the life situation and fairy tale world that students are familiar with, selects things that students are interested in and puts forward relevant mathematics questions". Therefore, in teaching, we can make full use of the mathematics resources provided by textbooks, narrow the distance between students and mathematics knowledge, make students feel cordial, and thus attract students' interest in attending classes.
For example, in the teaching of the second book "Understanding Yuan, Jiao and Fen" in senior one, let students know the relationship between Yuan and Jiao. In order to keep the continuity of students' listening, in class, the author first created a scene of children shopping to attract students' attention, make them willing to listen, and then let them point out when they find mistakes, thus mobilizing students' enthusiasm and interest in class because there are scenes of life in class. Only when they are interested can they arouse the initiative and continuity of students' listening, so that students' attention will always stay on the content related to teaching, and the teaching difficulties will be overcome at once.
2. Teachers should first learn to listen and play an exemplary role.
Listening is not only for students, but also for teachers. Students should learn to listen, and teachers should first listen by themselves. Teachers should change the "overlord" role of "I told you to listen, I told you to remember and I told you to answer", change their habit of being good at speaking but not good at listening, and warn themselves: wait a little longer and give students more time to speak; When a student's speech seems to be "singing the devil's advocate", remind yourself: Wait a minute, this student's "singing the devil's advocate" is often a new discovery and creation; When students struggle to express their feelings, tell themselves: wait a little longer and let the students finish their sentences. This may be a rare course resource. Teachers put down their airs, listen attentively, bend over and listen carefully, and participate in and listen to students' opinions on an equal footing, which can not only make students fully express their opinions, but also make the teaching appear a wonderful situation of "a hundred birds contend", and also make students be influenced by teachers, learn to listen and develop the habit of listening.
For example, saying "I heard clearly", "Your speech is unique", "Can you say it in another way" and "Can you think about it from another angle" in teaching will not only make students feel that teachers care about their speeches, but also encourage them to speak freely, so that communication will always extend along the center of the topic, thus completing the teaching task with high quality.
3 detailed requirements, teaching methods
Due to the limitation of age characteristics, primary school students generally prefer others to listen to what they say, so I first enlighten students and tell them that smart, thoughtful and cooperative students all have one thing in common, that is, they all have good listening and listening habits. Then teach students some clear, concrete and operable listening methods. (1) Listen carefully. When listening, stop everything in your hand, keep your eyes on the teacher or the speaker, and listen to every sentence attentively. If the students' answers are consistent with their own thinking, smile and nod slightly to show approval or approval; (2) Listen carefully. Listen carefully to every word of the teacher or classmate, and sum up what the teacher and classmate say; (3) Listen with an open mind. Be sure to wait for the speaker to finish, think about whether what he said makes sense, and then express his views. You can't interrupt before others have finished. Through the guidance of this listening method, students learn to listen first and then express their opinions, and gradually develop a good habit of listening.
4. Pay attention to evaluation and give positive feedback.
The new curriculum reform has brought new teaching ideas and evaluation ideas to mathematics teaching. Teaching evaluation is no longer a "sieve" to distinguish good from bad, but a "pump" to guide water from low to high. In the cultivation of students' listening habits, the most acceptable evaluation methods for students are praise and encouragement. After listening to students' speeches every time, we should pay attention to evaluating the speeches in time, which can not only make students feel the happiness of success, but also correct their mistakes in time. After the students perform the exercises on the blackboard, let the students play the role of teachers and comment on the exercises completed by their classmates. Other students pay attention and make judgments. The teacher can make such a request: "If you think this classmate's speech is very good, please give him applause. If you don't understand or think his speech is incomplete, please raise your hand to supplement your speech. " I remember once in class, a student accidentally recited the multiplication formula "6954" as "6945", and a student shouted, "Teacher, he recited it wrong." The author praised him: "You are really an obedient child! You really helped him by listening to his shortcomings! " Reward him with an obedient star. The students are envious. The author tells students that listening is one of the best learning methods, and we should make friends with it. It can concentrate our attention and improve our judgment. In the usual class, pay attention to praise, praise students who listen carefully in time, and let the power of example drive students to concentrate on listening.
In short, in teaching, we should teach students the methods of listening, so that students can understand that listening to others' speeches is not only a respect for others, but also an inspiration from others' speeches, which will make them smarter. As long as teachers attach importance to the cultivation of students' listening ability, seize the opportunity of education and guide them in time, students can form good listening habits.
