Psychology is a subject that allows us to better understand ourselves and others. In fact, teachers can use some psychological knowledge in education to better stimulate students' interest in learning and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Today, I will share with you some psychological knowledge that can be used in education.

1, increase or decrease effect:

It means that everyone wants the other person's liking for himself to be "increased" rather than "decreased".

Many teachers will inevitably talk about his advantages and disadvantages when evaluating students, and often adopt the method of "praising first and then belittling". In fact, this is a very unsatisfactory evaluation method, so we might as well use the "increase and decrease effect" when evaluating students, for example, first talk about children's minor faults that do not hurt their dignity, and then give them appropriate praise.

For example, although you finished your homework a little slowly this time, you have made great progress compared with before. Not only the work is neat, but also the accuracy is high. I hope you can keep it up.

2. Rosenthal effect:

Also known as the teacher's expectation effect, it means that the teacher's expectation is transmitted to the students explicitly or implicitly, which will make the students develop in the direction of the teacher's expectation.

Everyone will accept psychological hints in one way or another in life, some of which are positive and some are negative. If it is a long-term negative and bad psychological suggestion, it will affect students' mood and even seriously affect their mental health. On the contrary, if teachers and parents have high expectations and positive affirmations for students, and nourish children's hearts through expectant eyes, approving smiles and encouraging words, and make children more self-respecting, self-loving, self-confident and self-reliant, then how high your expectations are, how much students will achieve in the future. Teachers should encourage and praise students and give them affirmation and confidence. Teachers can give students hints about their goals and let them work towards them.

For example, if you are smart, the teacher believes that you will be the first through hard work.

3. Threshold effect:

When you ask for help from others, if you ask for higher requirements from the beginning, it is easy to be rejected; However, if you make a smaller request first and then increase the weight of the request after others agree, then the goal will be easier to achieve. This phenomenon is called "threshold effect".

Teachers can set lower requirements for students first, and then affirm, praise and even reward students when they do as required, and then gradually raise the requirements.

For example, you did well today. You answered three questions correctly and made progress! I hope to see you do four questions tomorrow. Do you have confidence?

4. Scallop effect:

Excessive incentives will only make people pay attention to the reward itself. Once the reward stops, there will be a lack of motivation to continue working.

So don't give students too many rewards, or once the rewards stop, students will lose their motivation to learn. First, teachers can award prizes irregularly instead of regularly. Second, teachers should cultivate students' interest in learning, so that students can take the initiative to learn, rather than relying on external rewards.

5, barrel effect:

Refers to a barrel with an uneven mouth. The amount of water it holds is not the longest wooden board on the barrel, but the shortest wooden board on the barrel.

A student's comprehensive academic performance is like a vat, and each academic performance is an indispensable plank that constitutes this vat. The stable formation of a student's good academic performance does not depend on the outstanding achievements of a certain subject, but on his overall situation, especially his weak links. Therefore, when students are found to have shortcomings in some subjects, they should be reminded to spend more time on this subject in time to help them learn from each other and develop in many ways.

In the teaching process, teachers should make rational use of psychological knowledge, conduct scientific education, cultivate students' interest in learning and increase their motivation to learn, give them more encouragement and support, and enhance their self-confidence. They should not overuse external rewards to motivate students, nor should they belittle and criticize students for a long time. Students are the pillars of the country's future, and scientific educational methods are essential. Teachers should do their duty to teach and educate people.
