Mr. Ye Shengtao said: "What is education? Simply put, it is to cultivate habits. " From the point of view that education is to develop students' personality, teaching is to improve students' personality through aesthetic comprehension and skills. In this sense, cultivating good study habits is the primary task of teaching.
Teacher Wei Shusheng attaches great importance to cultivating students' good study habits. He believes: "Self-study ability is a different level of discipline category, and it is a complex special ability. It is unimaginable that students can have this ability through the process of one or two self-learning actions. Every self-study process is like a point, and self-study habits are like lines, which can form a surface and eventually form a self-study ability. Cultivating habits is the key to cultivating self-study ability. As soon as this key is turned on, the machine of the student's brain will run for a long time. "As can be seen from the experience he introduced, through his three-year training, students' self-study has become a habit. Teacher Wei seems to have nothing special about cultivating students' study habits, but in teaching practice, everything needs to be worked hard. Among them, the patience of teachers and the persistence of students are the most needed and tested.
In the process of cultivating students' study habits, Mr. Wei fully considered the difficulties and formulated specific implementation plans in combination with students' characteristics. His general method is:
First, slow down for the first time. At first, pay attention to stability and slowness, so that students can have an adaptation process. Second, gradually accelerate. After a month or two of training, when everyone is turning, speed up the action appropriately. Third, system planning. Guide students to see themselves as a complete system and pay attention to the relationship between morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. Fourth, control time and space. To ensure that good habits are formed in enough time and space, it is necessary to control the range of activities of bad habits in time and space. In the class, good students and poor students form a mutual aid group to form correct collective opinions, and at the same time pay attention to giving play to the guiding role of teachers to students. Fifth, enter the orbit. After a slow push, we passed the difficult period and made a systematic plan, which created a space-time environment for the implementation of the plan.
When we study the methods and process of cultivating students' self-study habits by Mr. Wei, we should at least pay attention to the following two points:
(A) the cultivation of habits requires a scientific and orderly process.
Pedagogy has a basic principle that knowledge can be taught and ability must be practiced. Training to the degree of automation can become a habit, and it can be used at any time.
By analyzing the process of cultivating students' self-study habits, we can see that the five steps he adopted are an orderly process from shallow to deep according to students' acceptance and formation law. And this process is recognized by every student (decided by students' full discussion and research), so that students can turn their plans into more conscious actions. Because of students' age, psychological development and the differences of each student's will quality, they will be shaken or repeated in the process of forming conscious habits. For students with different situations and problems at different stages, Mr. Wei tries to create an atmosphere of class collective learning while helping individual students, and adopts the form of group help to promote the cultivation of ear habits. The significance and truth of these practices are worthy of further discussion from the theoretical level of pedagogy and psychology.
(B) students need to be strictly required to develop good habits.
In order to cultivate students' self-study habits, Mr. Wei pays attention to arranging scientific and orderly steps without relaxing the requirements for students. Relax the requirements, students' education and training will not succeed, which is proved by countless teachers' experiences and lessons.
Psychology tells us that innate quality is the premise of personality development, not far from the average person; Acquired cultivation is the decisive condition of personality development, and this condition is far from perfect. So Confucius said, "Sex is similar, but learning is far away." Moreover, a complete personality is formed in the formation of good habits. Wang Fuzhi said: "Success in practice is natural." The important task of teaching is not to teach students how many skills and how much knowledge to master, but to let students form good study habits in their study the day after tomorrow. In a sense, the formation of habit is the formation of ability. Ignoring the teaching of cultivating students' good habits in teaching will not succeed. Teacher Wei pays attention to cultivating students' self-study habits and truly explores the true meaning of teaching.
