In practice, some teachers' classroom teaching is rigorous, clear and interlocking, which is conducive to improving students' logical thinking; Some teachers are full of emotions, passionate and exciting, which often easily arouse students' emotional resonance; Some teachers give vivid and witty lectures, which can enable students to acquire new knowledge in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Teachers' diverse and flexible teaching styles are also helpful to accommodate students' different learning styles, so that students in each class have the opportunity to study according to their own learning styles, give full play to their strengths, and let students with different learning styles find their own positions and develop their strengths.
Therefore, teachers must have personalized teaching style, or passion, or humor, or affinity, or rationality. In this issue, let's talk about the topic of teachers' teaching style, hoping that teachers can learn to observe their teaching behavior with their own educational ideals, constantly improve their teaching, and gradually form their own teaching characteristics and teaching styles.
I. Main types of teaching styles
Whether a teacher has teaching style is a sign to measure whether a teacher is mature or not, and it is an important parameter to reflect a teacher's teaching ability, teaching level and teaching art. Teaching style has different levels. The teaching style we are talking about here refers to the distinctive and unique teaching personality and aesthetic characteristics that are gradually formed by educational artists in the long-term exploration of teaching art practice and are stably and comprehensively reflected in teaching ideas, teaching methods, teaching skills and teaching styles through highly perfect teaching activities. Style is not mysterious, mainly the following:
1. Rational type
This style is mainly manifested in the following aspects: teachers' lectures are simple and clear, well-organized, well-founded, well-structured, attracting students' attention with the logical power of thinking, and controlling the classroom teaching process with reason. By listening to the teacher's incisive lectures, students will not only learn knowledge and get thinking training, but also be influenced and infected by the teacher's rigorous academic attitude and learn to think calmly and independently. Although some teachers are unsmiling in class, they are full of thorough understanding of knowledge and persistent pursuit of the development of people's rational ability.
2. Natural types
This style is characterized by the teacher's kind and natural lectures, unpretentious, unpretentious and not deliberately exaggerated. Instead, teachers and students talk in detail. In an atmosphere of equality, cooperation and harmony, teachers and students have silent two-way communication, melting curiosity and exploration into simple and real situations, and students gain knowledge through quiet thinking and silent recognition. Although the teacher's lecture voice is not high, it has a calm and elegant sincerity, just like the spring rain seeping into the students' hearts, moistening things silently, giving people a feeling of being relaxed and happy, quiet and peaceful.
3. Emotional types
This teaching style is manifested in teachers' full-time teaching, their love and pursuit of science and culture are integrated into their care and expectation for students, and they are full of high respect and dependence on people. When it comes to emotion, it is often emotional, impassioned, gripping and shocking, which makes students have a strong emotional resonance. On the premise of understanding and communication, teachers and students jointly create a warm atmosphere of longing for knowledge and exploring truth. Under the guidance of such teachers, students get not only the value of knowledge training, but also the value of personality and emotional training.
4. humorous
The most prominent feature of this style is that the teacher's lectures are vivid, witty, humorous and touching. A vivid metaphor, like the finishing touch, opens the door to wisdom for students; An appropriate humor can arouse students' knowing smile, such as drinking a cup of fresh and sweet spring water, which gives people endless aftertaste; Philosopher's aphorisms and cultural proverbs are interspersed from time to time in the narrative to enlighten and alert students. In this classroom atmosphere, students feel comfortable and willing to learn, get life enlightenment and mental training in relaxed and happy laughter, and change mechanical imitation into empathy and active thinking. Students' learning enthusiasm and subjective positive consciousness will be fully brought into play.
5. Skilled
This style lies in the skillful and interesting teaching skills of teachers, and all kinds of teaching methods and skills can be handy and properly used. There is no trace of carving. If multimedia is introduced into the classroom, the whole classroom structure is like a thinking program, with natural transition, tight organization, reasonable collocation and orderly. Clear explanation, analysis and demonstration ideas; Asking questions, discussing and practicing, aiming at students' reality, fully embodies teachers' thorough understanding of students, rational use of teaching methods and accurate grasp of important and difficult knowledge in textbooks. Let students master knowledge, which is a teaching method that pursues high efficiency.
Of course, teaching styles may be more than the above types, and can also be summarized from other angles. Even the above categories are not completely separated and irrelevant. In fact, different teachers' classroom teaching styles are complementary, but some teachers more or less embody a special type. The formation of teachers' classroom teaching style is a long and arduous practical process, which is the result of teachers' continuous exploration, tempering and pursuit.
Second, the cultivation of teaching style
Good teaching style is an important embodiment of teachers' teaching achievements and an important aspect to measure teachers' teaching level. The growth process of excellent teachers tells us that without down-to-earth efforts and the cycle of practice, reflection, study and practice, we will not form a unique teaching style, create remarkable achievements, and even become an excellent teacher. So, how to form your own unique and good teaching style?
1. Constant reading
Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty in China, once said, "Learn from others and learn from others." . This sentence has just become the key word for teachers' growth. Zhuangzi once said, "The accumulation of water is not thick, so the boat is weak;" If the wind does not accumulate, its negative wing is weak. "It can be seen that teachers' professional growth requires persistent reading. Teachers' "reading" needs comprehensive and systematic design, drawing up specific reading plans and mastering scientific and effective methods. For example, teachers should have extensive knowledge to enrich their cultural background and broaden their knowledge structure. Besides reading books with words, we should also read "books without words", that is, when we want to "read" people, we should "read". People who "study" should especially interpret the thoughts of world celebrities and absorb the essence for their support and utilization. Reading "time" refers to reading ancient, modern, modern and contemporary educational thoughts, grasping their essence and essence, making their teaching more rational and development more directional.
Willing to listen
Listening is bright, listening is dark. Teachers should listen to the different voices of students, parents, peers, experts and society with the mentality of "tolerance is great", be brave, willing and good at listening, understand students' needs and aspirations, grasp commonness and individuality, catch the spark of students' thinking, let students be "awakened" and "activated" and realize their own active construction. Tao Xingzhi said: "If you refuse to ask your students modestly, you won't know his environment, his ability and his needs;" Then, no matter how good your skills are, you can't teach him. "Teachers should respect students' personalities, develop students' specialties, be good at teaching according to students' cognitive style and learning style, fully activate students' interest and enthusiasm in learning, and let students' enjoy learning' and' learn' until they learn. In short, teachers can understand different students and their differences through "listening", grasp the opportunity of education and promote the all-round development of students; By listening, we can examine ourselves and reflect on ourselves, so as to improve our teaching ability and performance and realize our professional development.
See quickly
The ancients once said: "pay attention to everything and you will learn." Careful observation will lead to true knowledge. " This is especially true for teachers. Growing up as a teacher with a personal teaching style can't be achieved by "building a car behind closed doors" or "fighting alone". It needs to integrate the superior resources of education groups, learn from others' strengths and absorb the essence of "our teachers are very talented", so as to broaden teachers' professional development horizons and improve teachers' professional development level. "Look" here means to have a keen and profound insight, "examine its shape", "explore its meaning" and "know its people", "find the wonderful in the ordinary and examine the essence in the phenomenon". For example, we should approach famous teachers in China, observe and discuss their teaching and research skills, and understand their success. In short, through various channels, learn all the people and places that can be learned, absorb reasonable nutrition from them, internalize their own ideas, implement them in teaching, and form a unique style.
Be good at doing it
In the final analysis, education and teaching are practical activities. Teachers should put what they see, hear and think into teaching activities, and need to be brave in practice and exploration in order to truly realize their own development and students' development. In other words, teachers should practice, be willing to do, be good at doing, and be good at doing. "Doing" is the core competitiveness of famous teachers, and the teaching level of famous teachers with teaching style is first manifested as the efficiency and effect of "doing". Therefore, "doing" is a key condition for teachers' growth, and it is also a practical proof of the quality of teaching style.
Habitual thinking
Posner, an American psychologist, once put forward that the growth formula of teachers is: experience+reflection = growth. In the process of continuous reflection, teachers will constantly evaluate their own cognitive process. Through this kind of "critical control", teachers can go beyond the experience world that they take for granted, make the tacit knowledge gained from experience explicit and turn the explicit theoretical knowledge into personal practical experience, and complete the process of transformation, adjustment and reorganization of their own knowledge. The strong tendency of reflection and habit of conscious thinking not only deepened their understanding of knowledge, but also directly promoted the formation of their own good knowledge structure. Therefore, teachers should have the habit of reflection and be good at reflection. Reflection on teaching behavior, reflection on education-related viewpoints, reflection on an educational phenomenon, reflection on one's own professional growth and reflection on students' learning process. Realize the sublimation from practice to theory in the habit of reflection and realize the leap from ordinary teachers to style teachers.
6. Be diligent in writing
To some extent, "writing" is an improvement of "doing". "Writing" can bridge the soul, focus on the crux of the problem, clean up the dust of reality and sketch the blueprint for tomorrow. It is a way of dialogue between teachers and students' minds, educational problems, educational reality and education tomorrow. It can improve teachers' reflective ability, cultivate teachers' keen insight and profound analytical power, and upgrade teachers' perceptual and scattered teaching experience into rational and systematic teaching theory. Teachers' "writing" does not refer exclusively to the writing of academic papers. It can be a teaching essay that is popular on the water and written naturally, an objective and rational teaching reflection, an educational case that the spring breeze melts the rain and moistens things silently, and an educational story that is vivid and flowing. Teachers realize the promotion of experience and the construction of theory through "writing", thus forming a unique and profound teaching thought.
7. Speak with skill
Teachers with distinctive teaching styles are different from ordinary teachers. They can talk, talk and be good at talking. "Speaking" is not only a means of transmitting information and exchanging ideas, but also a re-creation of the way of thinking. "Theory" can make teachers' tacit knowledge explicit, abstract knowledge concrete and decentralized knowledge organized, and can transform teachers' situational, technical and individual knowledge into universal, symbolic and socialized knowledge, thus achieving the purpose of knowledge sharing and innovation. In teaching, teachers construct an infinite world through limited language, and use clever language to guide student-centered dialogue, dialogue between students and me, dialogue between students and teachers, and dialogue between students, thus promoting students' development. The realization of any role of a teacher depends on "speaking". Teachers should be brave and good at "speaking" and strengthen the cultivation of language skills. The cultivation of teachers with distinctive teaching style is a systematic and comprehensive project, which needs to go hand in hand with reading, listening, watching, doing, writing and speaking, to achieve the state of "having a well-thought-out plan, holding a thousand tricks, holding a thousand tricks", and finally grow into a coach-type and referee-type teacher who leads the development of teachers.
8. Be good at handling things
Teacher-student communication is the most basic and important relationship in the field of education, and teachers and students "develop through dialogue"; The communication between teachers is manifested as "partners in cooperation" and teachers "advance together in cooperation"; The communication between teachers and parents is characterized by "friends in communication" and "resonance in consultation" between home and school. The communication between teachers and leaders is characterized by "brothers and sisters work together" and cadres and the masses "support in understanding"; The communication between teachers and society has the characteristics of "harmonious notes in the main melody" and "absorption in the opening". In the process of education and teaching, teachers should mobilize all available forces to promote students' development, realize the exchange, convergence and integration of various horizons through sincere dialogue with each other, promote the occurrence of learning, enhance students' life and personality, and build a "community for promoting students' development".
Third, the misunderstanding of the formation of style
The formation of teaching style is a big topic. Teachers, especially young teachers, should not be eager for quick success and instant benefit, but should do what is in front of them in a down-to-earth manner, which is an important foundation for forming their own style. If teachers are eager for success, they will misunderstand the formation of teaching style. Style for the sake of style will make teachers lose their true self in classroom teaching, or it will hinder teachers' development. Teachers should explore step by step according to their own characteristics and find the direction to pursue. Avoid falling into the misunderstanding of the formation of teaching style and move forward cautiously. In the process of pursuing teaching style, we should emphasize four "avoidance":
1. Avoid bad styles
In teaching practice, it is often found that some teachers have their own characteristics and styles in teaching, but they are not good or healthy. For example, individual teachers always like "broad sky" in their lectures, forming a flashy style; Others often like to "talk about home" and form a loose style; Some also often interspersed with some "gimmicks" that are not elegant enough to form a vulgar style, and so on. These are against the teaching requirements and should be avoided.
Avoid blind pursuit
Teaching style is not the fundamental standard to measure teaching achievements. The evaluation of a teacher's teaching achievement depends more on whether his teaching has carried out and followed the national education policy and teaching principles, achieved the established teaching objectives, successfully mobilized the enthusiasm and initiative of students and promoted their healthy development. If a teacher leaves all this and pursues his own style blindly, his teaching will certainly not succeed.
Avoid stiff imitation
We have no objection to imitating others' teaching experience from the beginning, including teaching style. However, this imitation must not be blunt and follow the gourd painting gourd ladle. Because of the different learning conditions and teaching characteristics from famous teachers, the classroom teaching of rational famous teachers will inevitably produce different effects when it is moved to the classroom of perceptual famous teachers. Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, has a famous saying: "If you learn from me, you will live like me." Imitation can't just learn superficially, but stick to one's unique personality, draw useful ingredients from it, digest them for our own use, make breakthroughs, and finally form one's own characteristics. It is not advisable to imitate regardless of one's own teaching characteristics.
Step 4 avoid stiff styles
The formation of teaching style is long and difficult, but it cannot be said that once the teaching style is fixed, it can never change. The continuous growth of teachers is accompanied by the continuous improvement and perfection of teaching style, and even a qualitative change has taken place. Therefore, the unchangeable teaching style is lifeless. Therefore, an excellent teacher should not be satisfied with his own teaching style, but should persevere and never be satisfied. He should always pay attention to the new trend of teaching reform, constantly learn and summarize, constantly improve his teaching art level, improve his aesthetic taste and personality quality, so as to optimize and develop his teaching style. This is the key for excellent teachers to form unique teaching styles and educational ideas.
Whether a teacher has a teaching style is a sign to measure whether a teacher is mature or not, and it is an important parameter to reflect a teacher's teaching ability, teaching level and teaching art. Style is personality!
Teaching style is closely related to a person's personality. Hegel once said: Style is man. Reveals the relationship between "people" and "style". Therefore, teachers should constantly improve their personality cultivation. The higher the self-cultivation, the greater the personality charm and the more distinctive the teaching style. When the style is consistent with one's own personality, they will complement each other, and teaching and life will be integrated. Teaching is life, natural, comfortable and relaxed.
Personalized teaching style is the unswerving pursuit of teachers in their career and the soul of subject teaching. The pursuit of teaching style is first of all an attitude and a career pursuit. The process of teachers gradually forming their own teaching style through constant pursuit is actually an effective path for teachers' professional growth.
Teaching style is the pursuit of every ordinary teacher, not the patent of famous teachers and special teachers; Now is the pursuit of every teacher, but the future is not. The teaching style of future teachers exudes personality charm, starting from one immature class after another today; It is from trial and error again and again today, and it is from the innovation and improvement of teaching details again and again today.
So from now on, from now on, from the first class tomorrow, every teacher should consider going in his own direction.
