I. Name and definition of the project
Topic: Research on the Training Strategies of Middle School Students' English Autonomous Learning Ability
Definition:
"Autonomous learning" is a new way of learning and a way for students to manage their own learning. It can effectively improve learning quality and efficiency, improve innovative thinking ability, and then promote classroom teaching.
"English autonomous learning" is the ability of students to carry out English learning activities independently, which can be realized by establishing learning objectives, self-monitoring and self-evaluation and other cognitive strategies. It is characterized by a strong thirst for knowledge, a clear learning goal, the ability to choose appropriate learning methods, and the conscious use of cognitive strategies such as monitoring, evaluation and correction in the English learning process; Their behaviors are as follows: fully preview before class, listen carefully in class, actively reflect on their own autonomous learning methods, consciously or even overfulfill their homework after class, objectively evaluate their learning results, correct them in time, use various learning resources, absorb knowledge, and strive to improve their English autonomous learning ability. The characteristics of English autonomous learning determine that it can improve the efficiency, effectiveness and level of students' English learning, cultivate students' practical skills and abilities, lay a good foundation for students' future survival and development and the needs of lifelong learning, and then promote classroom teaching.
Second, the purpose and significance of the study
The English Curriculum Standard puts forward the requirement of "task-based" teaching in English teaching. It aims at improving students' quality, enhancing the pertinence and effectiveness of moral education, and enhancing students' sense of responsibility for nature and society. At the same time, it highlights the cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability, practical ability and innovative spirit, as well as the ability of students to acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems, collect and process information, and exchange and cooperate, which has reformed the learning and memory ability of students in the previous curriculum implementation process. With the implementation of the new curriculum, how to make students adapt to the new curriculum learning, realize the new curriculum teaching objectives and meet the new curriculum teaching requirements is the first task for teachers to study. Therefore, as a teacher who works in the front line of teaching, he can no longer follow the traditional teaching mode without thinking about innovation, and can no longer use "indoctrination" and teaching methods. Instead, we should actively guide students to master learning strategies and develop a proactive and conscious learning attitude.
Lifelong learning will become a way of life for people in the future society, and education will enter the era of "self-education", that is, autonomous learning. People's learning will be endless, anytime and anywhere, without spatial boundaries. It is the core task of implementing the new curriculum education to let every student study independently and let students have innovative spirit and practical ability.
Third, the research status and possible innovations of this topic:
In English teaching, students' autonomous learning ability can not be ignored. Teachers try to explore and construct the teaching and learning modes of English autonomous learning, inquiry learning and cooperative learning from different angles and in different ways, and form a complete system of "Research on the Cultivation of English Autonomous Learning Ability" to guide our regular teaching activities and promote the all-round development of school education and teaching.
Fourth, the theoretical basis and practical value of the research:
Theoretical basis of this study:
1. autonomous learning theory: autonomous learning theory emphasizes the individualization of teaching and should take care of students' differences; Learning should be independent; Learning requires learning and mastering learning methods; The close combination of classroom learning and real life.
2. Innovative education theory: Innovative education aims to enhance people's subjective spirit, promote the harmonious development of people's personality and tap people's innovative potential. It emphasizes the cultivation of people's innovative consciousness, spirit and ability.
3. Constructivism learning theory: Constructivism believes that learning is not the transfer of knowledge from teachers to students, but the process of students' self-construction of knowledge. Learners are not passive information absorbers, on the contrary, they should actively construct the meaning of information.
Practical value of this research:
1. Judging from the demand for talents in modern society. The change of social life style and the rapid development of science and technology pose new challenges to every member of society. The concept and strategy of sustainable development require every member of society to have the desire and ability of lifelong development and the ability to acquire new knowledge independently.
2. From the development trend of the new round of curriculum reform in China. The Outline of Basic Education Curriculum Reform (Trial) puts forward the task of changing students' learning methods and advocates independent, cooperative and inquiry learning methods. Real cooperative learning and inquiry learning must be autonomous learning. Therefore, advocating autonomous learning has become the primary task of changing students' learning style. At the same time, the English Curriculum Standard puts forward the requirement of "task-based" teaching in English teaching. It aims to improve students' quality, strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of moral education, enhance students' sense of responsibility for nature and society, and at the same time highlight the cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability, practical ability and innovative spirit, as well as their ability to acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems, collect and process information, communicate and cooperate, and reform the students' ability to accept learning in the previous curriculum implementation process. Teachers should not only help students master basic knowledge and skills, but also teach students learning methods and cultivate their learning ability. Therefore, strengthening the guidance of students' learning strategies and cultivating students' autonomous learning ability in middle school English teaching is not only the requirement of current social development for talent cultivation and all citizens, but also the goal of quality education, and an important way to help students master knowledge, learn to learn, promote their all-round development and improve teaching quality. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the guiding strategies to promote students' autonomous learning.
3. From the current problems in classroom teaching. The traditional learning method bases learning on human objectivity, passivity and dependence, which leads to the continuous erosion of human subjectivity, initiative and independence. Moreover, for a long time, the majority of middle school English teachers have given priority to "full-hall irrigation" teaching, and "nanny teaching" has been helping students "pick fruits", and students are in a passive and passive position. This kind of passive learning, which lacks initiative and consciousness, completely loses the long-term value and significance of promoting the growth and development of the discipline. From the relationship between guidance and autonomy, traditional education attaches too much importance to the leading role of teachers, and teachers lead more, and students are always in a passive position; Since the implementation of quality education, students' main role has been strongly advocated, and teachers dare not give more guidance. Therefore, how to correctly understand the relationship between guidance and autonomy is very important to promote quality education.
V. Main objectives of the study.
1. Construct specific goals of middle school students' autonomous learning, form guiding strategies to promote middle school students' autonomous learning, and improve teachers' professional development level.
2. Make middle school students' awareness of autonomous learning enhanced, their autonomous learning ability improved, and their autonomous learning habits and qualities cultivated.
3. Through research, explore effective teaching and activity methods to improve the quality of education and teaching.
Sixth, the content of the study.
1. Study students' learning attitude and interest, make students realize the importance and interest of English, stimulate students to take the initiative to learn, be willing to learn and develop good study habits, and lay the foundation for students' lifelong learning.
2. Study scientific teaching strategies and teaching models. At present, middle school students' English autonomous learning is still in the primary exploration stage, lacking certain systematicness and completeness. Teachers should formulate teaching contents and plans according to the actual situation of the school and the characteristics of students.
3. Study students' learning process, so that students can actively explore and participate in every link of acquiring knowledge.
4. Investigate some specific problems existing in English teaching in our school. Renew teachers' teaching concept, encourage teachers to innovate boldly, change the traditional teaching mode, change "indoctrination" into "heuristic" and "nanny" into "autonomy", thus greatly improving the quality of English classroom teaching on the original basis, comprehensively improving all teachers' teaching art and teaching ability, and cultivating middle school students' ability to learn English independently.
