First, create problem situations to stimulate students' curiosity
Creating problem situations refers to putting forward some problems that students' existing knowledge and habits can't solve immediately in teaching, thus causing disharmony between the content of teaching materials and students' psychology of seeking knowledge, causing students' cognitive contradictions, introducing students into problem-related situations, and stimulating students' desire for knowledge and positive thinking.
Second, cultivate students' interest in learning
Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Einstein said, "Interests and hobbies are the best teachers." When students are interested in learning, they will be eager to acquire knowledge and have a pleasant emotional experience in the process of learning.
There are many specific ways for teachers to cultivate students' interest in learning in teaching:
Educate students to understand the social significance of learning knowledge. Once students understand the social value of knowledge, they will be interested in learning activities.
Cultivating students' positive learning attitude towards each course and forming a formula are helpful to cultivate students' interest in learning.
Constantly improve teaching methods and present the teaching content in an interesting and changeable way. For example, teaching methods such as slide show, TV, movies and multimedia courseware can be used to present teaching materials, and teaching can also be carried out by simulating games and role-playing of teaching materials.
Organize students to participate in practical activities and interest groups in and out of class, use what they have learned to solve practical problems, experience the pleasure of success and learn knowledge well.
Teachers should demonstrate to students with their interest and enthusiasm in the subjects they teach.
Teachers should convey good information to students through words and actions, let students know that teachers like the subject they teach, like learning and research, and get fun and satisfaction in the process, thus affecting students and generating interest in the subject.
Constantly expanding students' knowledge so that students can accumulate knowledge in a certain field is the basic condition for a stable and keen interest in a certain knowledge field. The more knowledge students have in a certain subject, the more solid the foundation, the easier it is to learn and the more stable their interest. On the contrary, if the knowledge base of a subject is weak and there are too many problems, learning will be very boring.
? Third, cultivate students' self-confidence
Self-confidence is an indispensable psychological quality for students' growth and success, and plays an important role in the realization of life goals. Teachers' cultivation of students' self-confidence is not only beneficial to the study of this subject, but also has a certain influence on the subsequent development of students. Psychological research shows that the results of activities, other people's attitudes and self-evaluation play an important role in the establishment of self-confidence.
Respect and trust increase confidence. Rosenthal, an American psychologist, believes that teachers' high expectations of students will make students develop in a good direction, while teachers' low expectations of students will make students worse and worse. Therefore, teachers should use similar methods in teaching, imagine students with insufficient learning confidence and difficulties as students with excellent development in the future, respect students, believe that students are geniuses and have good expectations for students, so that students will have a rare sense of satisfaction and self-confidence. In teaching, we should encourage more and blame less, and we should not belittle students' learning ability. We should devote our enthusiasm and all our love to help every student. The self-esteem of students with learning difficulties is often covered by inferiority complex, and they feel inferior. Therefore, our teachers must not despise them, but be close to them and respect their personality. We should not only see their shortcomings, but also see their bright spots of being unwilling to lag behind and demanding progress, and affirm and praise them in time, so that students can feel that they have been recognized, their spirits have been satisfied, their mood has been happy, their interest in learning will naturally be there, and their consciousness and diligence can also be improved, thus forming a virtuous circle. ?
Experience success and enhance self-confidence. Everyone is eager for success, and the joy of success can bring infinite power to people. This kind of joy can make students realize the value of hard work and consolidate and improve their confidence in success. Teachers can influence students' success to a great extent. In teaching, teachers should create successful conditions for each student through their own efforts. In the teaching content, it is necessary to go from shallow to deep, step by step, and the difficult knowledge can be dispersed, so that students can experience success more. At the same time, students should be praised for their success in time, so that they can truly appreciate the joy of success and their self-confidence can be consolidated and improved in every success.
In a word, the application of educational psychology theory in teaching practice can fully mobilize students' subjective initiative and improve classroom teaching effect. As a teacher, if we want to study educational theories, especially educational psychology, study our own educational objects, try our best to apply the educational theories we have learned to teaching practice, and guide teaching practice with scientific theories, we will often get twice the result with half the effort and avoid many detours.
