First, stimulate interest and be willing to innovate.
Interest is the best teacher. Once students are interested in technical courses, they will study technical courses on their own, and they will adopt different methods, strategies and means in their activities to achieve their predetermined goals and meet certain needs. Therefore, to stimulate students' interest in labor skills, the labor skills class will be full of vitality, and students' innovative behavior will naturally emerge in the energetic labor skills class. For example, in the teaching of chalk sculpture, I specially carved exquisite, eye-catching, unique and beautiful works such as chicken, rabbit, pig and puppy in advance. Before class, I specially put my works on display in the classroom. The students were surprised when they saw these beautiful and realistic chalk sculptures. They are envious and curious, and their interest naturally comes. They are anxious to know how these exquisite carvings are made, so they will ask me, "Teacher Chen, how did you carve the head of a chicken?" And "Mr. Chen, why does the puppy's leg look so realistic?" How did you carve them? " Learning to question, questioning comes from interest, and students can be eager to ask these questions, which shows that they have a desire to explore learning. When you have such an interest, you will want to study, and you will think: Will I engrave better than the teacher? At this time, I will strike while the iron is hot and explain the basic methods and key points of carving to the students one by one. Then, let the students use the chalk in their hands to imagine designing a model for your favorite and familiar animal friend. When students imagine design, I encourage them to dare to show their individuality and innovate. After carving, let the students show their works, and I will comment on them in due course. Students have experienced the joy of learning and success, and their innovative ability has been tapped.
Second, optimize teaching and learn to innovate.
For example, when teaching "fruit platter", I show the examples of platter on the screen through multimedia courseware for students to enjoy one by one. Appreciating the purpose platter gives students a delicious feeling. In the students' surprise and admiration, I asked in time: Students, what do you think after reading these fruit platters? Some students said, "I really want to eat", while others said, "If only I could cook a dish" ... Seeing the students' comments and full of interest, I led them to say, "Students, you can also make such a platter. Do you want to learn? " This question makes all the students eager to try, and the classroom atmosphere is very active. In this way, before teaching new knowledge, the classroom situation is created through vivid and interesting pictures, and questions related to new knowledge are raised, which causes strong suspense and students' interest in learning new knowledge is active.
Third, independent exploration, development and innovation.
Our classroom should be full of vitality. "Let the classroom be full of vitality" is the basic requirement for every teacher, because only in this way can students actively participate in learning, learn independently and become the masters of learning, and only in this way can students' innovative ability be developed. On March 1st, Kite Festival, students all like to fly kites, so I started with my own initiative to "make kites" in the handicraft class and returned the class to my classmates. First, let the students look up the information about kites and learn about them. This will cultivate students' ability to collect and process information. Then let the students return to nature and fly kites in the playground, square and other environments, so that they can master the flying skills and learn to adjust the center of gravity and the angle of flying kites. After students realize the fun of flying kites, let them start "making kites". In this process, students learn basic manual skills such as line drawing, folding, positioning, line binding, paper cutting and pasting. The joy of labor and success can be embodied in production, and the joy of cooperation and active exploration can be realized in production. Finally, can you design a new kite? Next, the students think, innovate and improve kites. In the process of designing new kites, students are more open and have designed all kinds of new kites that are more novel, advanced and scientific. This strengthens the integration and application of science, nature, art design and other knowledge. The imagination and design of these students are innovation.
To sum up, in order to cultivate students' innovative ability, teachers should have innovative ideas, strive to broaden the channels of students' labor practice activities, and strive to improve students' quality, so that students can learn to learn to learn, learn to think and learn to use various tools, and put wings on students' innovation. In short, we should pay attention to the cultivation of students' innovative thinking, arouse their enthusiasm and initiative in learning, and enable them to effectively cultivate their innovative ability through practice to meet the needs of the rapid development of science and technology in the 2 1 century.
