One of the biggest mistakes that teachers and parents make in cultivating learners' students and children is to limit their study to the classroom. Although the classroom may be the main source of teaching, if you really want to improve your child's desire and ability to learn, the development of intelligence, socialization and academics should go beyond the classroom. The following are proven skills and strategies that can motivate children to learn. Use them correctly, and you will see your children or students find learning fun.
1. Create a reading atmosphere
Some people will think that reading it is the key to success in life. We will definitely say that at least reading is the key to success in learning. Children cultivate a love of reading and learning. Children are struggling in reading and studying.
Reading can not only help children develop richer vocabulary, but also help their brains learn how to deal with concepts and formal communication. The skills gained from reading far exceed the performance improved in language art courses. Students with strong reading ability have enhanced learning ability in all subjects, including technical subjects such as mathematics and science.
Let his world be full of reading and help your child develop reading skills and love of reading. Often read to children. Let your children really say it. Create a family reading time, and everyone will concentrate on reading for 20 minutes every day. Fill your classroom or family with your own reading examples and reading materials (novels, posters, newspapers, magazines, etc.). ), you will create a reading atmosphere and let your children (or students) see the importance of reading.
The key to cultivating excellent readers is to make reading interesting rather than frustrating. If children think reading is boring or frustrating, they will not want to read and their learning ability will be reduced. Let children choose their own books to read, help them read, create activities for them and make reading interesting.
2. Let your child sit in the driver's seat as much as possible.
In education, all children's experiences are control, control and control. When children feel controlled or uncontrolled in education, they usually drop out of school. It is important to guide children to complete the learning process, but it is equally important for children to master their own learning experience. Whether at home or in class, children can directly participate in learning choices. A good way is to provide children with choices. For example, when arranging writing projects, children are allowed to choose a theme for writing.
We also suggest allowing children to choose their own extracurricular activities. In terms of children's learning environment, activities and styles, the more control and input you can provide to children, the higher their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for learning.
3. Encourage open communication.
Encourage your child or student to express his views on education. Create an open atmosphere, make him feel comfortable and express his likes, dislikes or worries. When he shares his views, please be sure to verify his feelings, even if you disagree. When children feel that their opinions are irrelevant, or they are in trouble, they are likely to be separated from the learning process. Excellent learners will feel at ease when they know that their opinions are important. They can be open to their educational experience without being judged, suppressed, discouraged or ignored.
4. Pay attention to children's interests
When learning allows children to participate in fields and subjects of interest, learning becomes interesting and children will participate in learning. If you really want to help your child become a good learner, encourage him to explore topics and themes that fascinate him. If he likes dinosaurs, please help him find some interesting books and stories about dinosaurs. Then let him name his five favorite dinosaurs and explain why he chose each one.
5. Introduce and encourage different learning methods.
Every child has a learning preference and style that best suits his learning style. Some children have a dominant learning style, while others prefer to use various learning methods. There is no right or wrong learning style, or mixed learning style. However, by helping your child discover his favorite learning style, you can use skills that can improve his learning speed and quality.
There are seven basic ways of learning: sight, hearing, language, physics, logic (mathematics), socialization and loneliness. For example, children of visual learners learn by observing how things work. On the contrary, children of auditory learners learn best by listening to what is explained. It is beneficial for young children to explore and use different types of learning methods.
6. Share your enthusiasm for learning.
Enthusiasm has disappeared, especially in learning new things. If your children or students see that you are really keen on learning, they may be enthusiastic about learning. Whether it is history, science, reading, writing or mathematics, it can help him see that learning is an exciting journey of new discovery. Seize every opportunity and discover new information with him. Don't be overwhelming and overbearing. When your child sees the happiness and excitement brought by learning, he will begin to share your enthusiasm for learning new things.
7. Make learning interesting through game-based learning.
Game-based learning is not a new concept. It has existed for a long time. Game-based learning is very beneficial for various reasons. Taking games as an educational tool not only provides opportunities for the in-depth study and development of non-cognitive skills, but also helps to stimulate children's interest in learning. When children actively participate in games, their brains will experience the fun of learning new systems. This is true whether games are regarded as "entertainment" (such as electronic games) or "seriousness" (such as military simulators). Interesting games provide additional benefits and motivate children to participate in the learning process and learn more knowledge.
Game-based learning is also an effective motivation for team-based learning-which is especially beneficial to children in the classroom environment. Students usually work harder in competitions than in courses. Games are more attractive. Playing games is also competition. Students try to compete or win on behalf of themselves or their teams. They may try to perform at a higher level in order to win more points for their team, or because they hope to have the opportunity to participate in the competition. Game-based learning is a good way for parents and teachers to introduce new ideas, grammar, concepts and knowledge, which can encourage children to learn.
8. Pay attention to what he is learning, not his performance.
Once he comes home from school, don't ask your child how he did in the math exam. Let him teach you the math you learned today. Pay attention to the child's learning content, not his performance. Although grades are very important, paying attention to his learning experience will (1) communicate with children. Practical study is more important than exam results. (2) The result is not the most important. (3) You care about him more than he does. (4) By paying attention to his learning experience, you will give him a chance to tell his lessons in your own words and consolidate what he learned that day.
9. Help your children keep order.
Helping your child organize his papers, books and homework will greatly help him feel motivated to learn. Chaos is a typical feature of young school-age children, but it may also lead to a feeling of being at a loss. Children who are at a loss spend more time and energy than when studying, and feel depressed and worried. Patiently but consistently help children organize school supplies and homework. This will help him to control, reduce the burden and have more motivation to learn.
Acknowledge and celebrate achievements.
No matter how young they are, it is important to recognize and celebrate their children's achievements. This is especially important for children of primary school age, who need to constantly strengthen actively to keep them learning actively and challenge themselves to do better. We don't mean that you praise mediocrity, but that you provide recognition and celebrate your children's achievements. Completing a difficult project deserves special treatment; Doing well in the math exam may require an ice cream trip. Always use positive reinforcement as a tool to motivate children to learn.
1 1. Focus on advantages
When your child is struggling so hard academically, it may be difficult to focus on the advantages. Nevertheless, paying attention to children's advantages is very important for healthy emotional and academic development and progress. Paying attention to children's advantages is another form of positive reinforcement, which will motivate him to continue learning. On the contrary, focusing on children's weaknesses will only make them depressed, miserable and lack the desire to learn. Didn't Johny pass the math exam? Then, besides giving him some extra math help, be sure to congratulate him on his performance in science class.
12. Make every day a study day.
Turning every day into a study day may sound a bit much, but if you do it in the right way, it's really not. Whenever possible, encourage your children to explore the world around them, ask questions and make connections. Help him to classify, classify and think critically about what he has seen and heard. Turning every day into a study day will help your children develop inner learning motivation in the classroom, at home or anywhere.
The following content is news broadcast to stimulate learning.
CCTV reporters visit rebellious children admitted to Tsinghua.
Tsinghua University, located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, is a comprehensive university in China. Tsinghua University is one of the most famous universities in China and even in Asia. It is not only the place where crouching tiger, hidden dragon and masters come forth in large numbers, but also the place where China has trained the most billionaires and cultural scholars.
In 20 19, Xin Li got the admission notice of Tsinghua University with a score of 659 points, and became the object of pursuit and envy of everyone around him. However, just two years ago, Xin Li was still giving his parents a headache and driving his teacher crazy. Fighting was recorded twice, watching porn in the dormitory was caught 1 time, falling in love, skipping classes, cheating in exams, gambling, fooling around. Anyway, he has done almost all the bad things he should have done.
Everyone said: the child is actually very clever. It is because he is too lazy to play mobile phone all day and is unwilling to study, so his grades can't go up. In order to make this "devil of the world" have some promise, my mother invited the best tutor and the best remedial class for her children, but this worthless thing seems to be interested in all bad things except reading. No matter how his parents beat and scold him and make sense, he just hasn't made any progress.
Xin Li's biggest shortcoming is "poor self-control, and he likes to play mobile phones and computer games". Xin Li's mother's previous strategy was to ban it once it was discovered, but the final result was often: the more the mother banned it, the more addicted the child became.
Because Xin Li's mother changed her children's learning methods, Xin Li was finally admitted to Tsinghua.
For Xin Li's learning problems, the mother was lost and didn't know how to make her children interested in learning. 20 18, Xin Li's mother found in a colleague's chat that her colleague's children have the same problems as their own children and don't like studying, but now they can be admitted to a key university, so parents don't have to worry. Only after questioning did I know that they made the children change their learning methods. On the recommendation of colleagues, Xin Li's mother bought a set for her children without hesitation. After a week's study, she found that Xin Li was not disgusted with learning. 1 month later, her grades improved by leaps and bounds. Li Xin's mother regretted the previous remedial classes and training courses. If she had known such a big change, she would have bought it long ago, and she wouldn't have spent so much money.
CCTV CCTV special interview reported that problem children can also be admitted to Tsinghua!
Xin Li's mother told us that the reason why there is such a big change behind Xin Li is that she lets her children learn systematically according to this learning method. This learning method is actually very simple. To sum up, there are only three steps. If parents can let their children learn, she believes that most "hopeless" children will reach the peak of their lives.
What kind of learning method has changed a teenager's problem?
The reporter learned that Xin Li's "Learning Methods" was published by China Science and Culture Audio-visual Publishing House Co., Ltd., which is a set of efficient learning methods carefully developed according to the teaching methods of Sun Weigang, the "father of education in China". It is compiled according to the content of primary school, junior high school and senior high school, and is suitable for students everywhere.
A survey of teachers and students in Beijing No.4 Middle School shows that 74.6% students, especially those with average or average grades, lament that the examination time is short, the questions can't be finished, and many questions are stuck and easy to make mistakes. Some students said they could understand what the teacher said, but they got stuck when doing the problem and didn't know how to start. "It" is a scientific, fast and effective learning method. It concentrates the knowledge of all subjects, simplifies the important and difficult points, and makes students clear at a glance. Just like a navigator, it guides the learning essence of each subject, so that learning will be more directional and targeted. At the same time, students are encouraged to give full play to their creativity and improve their efficiency, so that they can easily enter the door of success on the basis of creativity and efficiency.
This set of teaching materials has been experimented and popularized in many cities in China and achieved good results. After entering the market, because of its unique learning mode and obvious improvement effect, it won the affirmation of parents and students, helped countless students and established its own reputation and value. What advantages and motivation does it have?
Highly recommended by the top students in 1293 senior high school entrance examination, "poor students" miraculously surpassed "top students" in 30 days.
From 2065438 to 2009, Tian became the most dazzling star because he won the first prize of "Mathematical Synthesis". Some people say that science is the strength of boys, but Tian subverts this statement. Major media have reported that countless reporters have done more in-depth investigation behind the scenes, and even found that this "talented woman" praised by countless students and parents was still mediocre in the last semester of senior three. After only a few months' study, she turned around and won the champion of both mathematics and science.
Tian said: I know all the formulas and theorems in the book by heart, but I still use the knowledge points flexibly in the exam, and no matter how skilled I am, it is equal to zero. Many big questions don't know where to start and can't find the starting point. I almost didn't answer a big question on the test paper completely. I have always felt stupid and even regretted choosing science. I didn't know until I used it. I didn't learn well because I was stupid, but because I didn't find the methods and tricks. Many problems are actually separated by a layer of enough paper, which is to pierce this layer of enough paper. Its greatest advantage is to simplify the complicated mathematical and physical problems and sum up a set of simplest "coping learning methods", so that I can know where the starting point is when I look at the questions, and then directly apply the problem-solving module mentioned in it, and I can work out the correct answer in a few simple steps.
