Students have strong perceptual knowledge and rich imagination. The characteristics of scientific and technological activities are consistent with students' cognitive and psychological characteristics, which creates favorable conditions for effectively carrying out scientific and technological activities and improving students' scientific quality. However, due to students' limited knowledge structure and experience, if they lack correct guidance and guidance, students will take detours and even go to extremes, leading to the failure of the inquiry results. This is undoubtedly a blow to students, which will dampen their enthusiasm, lose confidence and even doubt their intelligence and ability. For example, when learning "reptiles with the same characteristics", some students mistakenly think that frogs and toads are reptiles, and at the same time observe and compare them with reptiles such as lizards and geckos. The result is self-evident, you can't find a * * * with the same characteristics. The purpose of scientific and technological activities is to train students to learn and apply knowledge, develop intelligence and improve skills, form good thinking quality and practical ability, and promote the improvement of comprehensive quality in the process of contacting society and nature. Counselors should emphasize that learning cultural knowledge well is the premise of achieving scientific and technological achievements. Only by learning basic knowledge well can we use knowledge to create successful works in scientific and technological activities. In guiding the division of labor, we should consciously reflect the relationship between academic performance and assigned tasks, let the top students serve as team leaders and undertake difficult tasks, while the poor students undertake simple tasks and do their best so that every student can enjoy the happiness of success. Of course, students with poor grades should be given the opportunity to play the main role, stimulate their self-confidence, enthusiasm and initiative, and devote themselves to subject learning and scientific and technological activities with a brand-new mental outlook. We use "honor roll", "evaluation platform" and "exhibition of works" to commend outstanding students and display outstanding works, which has played a great incentive role. Select honorary titles such as "Little Inventors", "Little Computer Master", "Little Doctor" and "Skillful Hand"; Their sense of success not only enhances their desire for scientific exploration, but also enhances their self-confidence and initiative in learning. This kind of desire, self-confidence and initiative is an inexhaustible motive force, which plays an important role in promoting the study of other disciplines. How to make students love science and improve their scientific literacy requires more efforts from science and technology counselors.
First of all, we should stimulate students' interest. Students' strong thirst for knowledge is often stimulated by teachers in various forms. For example, in traditional mathematics teaching, teachers usually instill mathematics knowledge into students according to their own understanding. Students remember a lot of concepts, practice a lot of exercises, and don't know what mathematics is for when they leave school. The application of modern educational technology can start from the life reality that students are familiar with, make the living materials mathematized and the mathematics teaching vivid. When a teacher was teaching the content of "perimeter and area", I suggested that he design a courseware, that is, the teacher bought a house (multimedia display high-rise building) to decorate. There are several problems you can help solve: first, calculate the total area of this house; Question 2: How many pieces does it take to pave the floor with marble with a side length of 5 meters? The price of each marble is 8 yuan. How much will it cost? After listening, the students are eager to try, and their enthusiasm has improved.
Second, we must solve the problem. In the process of learning knowledge and engaging in scientific research activities, students often encounter various problems. As science and technology counselors, they have the responsibility and obligation to guide and help them solve problems. For example, in chemistry experiment teaching, a teacher told students in the experiment of "making oxygen" that when heating solid drugs, the mouth of the test tube should be tilted downward, and after oxygen is collected, the catheter should be unplugged first, and then the alcohol lamp should be extinguished. If it is wrong, cold water will flow backwards, test tubes will explode and dangerous experiments will happen. A student asked a question and forced the teacher to show it to him. Of course, this dangerous experiment teacher can't do it, but how to dispel this student's doubts? The teacher told me the problem, and I helped the teacher make a courseware of simulation experiment with the computer. Several animated pictures show the whole process of things changing, which dispels students' doubts.
Second, integrate resources and cooperate with teaching.
Modern educational technology takes information technology as the main content, and also includes multimedia such as TV, movies, recordings and slides, as well as experimental teaching. The resources construction and development of these modern educational technologies are unbalanced. Some schools have relatively complete information technology equipment and standardized laboratory construction; Some are short of this and that, and some are not at all, especially in rural primary and secondary schools, where most modern educational technology construction is not in place; Some resources are well built, but for various reasons, the equipment has been idle for a long time, resulting in waste of resources. Science and technology counselors should actively cooperate with leaders, formulate overall plans for resource construction, and regularly urge administrative leaders to implement the plans. Secondly, we should do a good job in resource management, identify, select and maintain existing resources, have a systematic "management and use system" for new resources, and build a modern educational technology resource system in towns and schools. Third, do a good job in resource utilization, give full play to the advantages of modern educational technology, and improve the quality of education and teaching. Therefore, science and technology counselors should not only assist administrative leaders in teacher training, but also improve teachers' application ability and level.
Third, encourage innovation and open the way for activities.
Innovative ability is an important part of young students' cultural and scientific literacy. Therefore, as a science and technology counselor, we should attach great importance to the cultivation of students' innovative ability.
1, pay attention to the cultivation of self-study ability
"The illiterate people in the future will no longer be illiterate people, but people who have not learned how to learn." Self-study ability is the most important ability among all kinds of abilities. With the ability of self-study, students are no longer completely dependent on teachers, but rely on their own ability to open up their own world. To some extent, this is also an innovation. Therefore, when I usually carry out various scientific and technological activities or modern educational technology counseling, I don't talk about any problems that students can figure out by themselves, leaving room for students to think. Over time, students' abilities will naturally form.
2. Pay attention to cultivating students' practical ability.
Hands-on is the most effective means to understand, consolidate and apply knowledge. As a science and technology counselor, the most important thing is to let students do it themselves in various activities. Counselors must make plans for scientific and technological activities in this school year or semester at the beginning of the school year or semester, and implement them in a planned, systematic and down-to-earth manner. Such as "three primary schools" production, social investigation, scientific and technological inventions, etc. Through the selection activities of small scientists and small inventors, talents are discovered and cultivated, and outstanding works and talents are recommended and commended.
3. Pay attention to cultivating students' innovative ability.
Innovation is not limited to existing conclusions and opinions, but puts forward its own unique new conclusions and opinions or new methods to solve problems. The ability of students needs the bold encouragement and support of teachers and counselors. It is found that students have such potential and should be carefully protected and induced in time. For example, in a scientific and technological activity, I found that a student wanted to study a granulator suitable for family use, which could cut grass and cut grains and reduce the labor burden of the family. I think his idea is very good, so I boldly guide him and provide him with information, materials and technology. Encouraging students to ask questions is also an important way to cultivate students' innovative ability. The ancients said, "Learning begins with thinking, thinking originates from doubt, small doubts lead to small progress, and big doubts lead to great knowledge". Counselors and subject teachers should advocate the spirit of "ask what's next" among students, and encourage students to explore new ways, break away from convention and adhere to a model.
