With the increasing awareness of educational research, many teachers hope to cultivate themselves into scholar-type teachers and write their own educational and teaching research results into papers. According to my superficial experience, I think we should pay attention to the following points and discuss them with my colleagues in order to make common progress.
First, learn from the results, learn from others-first roughly save, then classify and save, and sort out inspiration.
Absorbing and digesting other people's research results for my use is what every researcher is doing and must do. After all, a person's energy, ability and level are limited. To make up for this "congenital defect", we must learn from others. As far as junior high school mathematics teachers are concerned, the scope of our report should naturally be based on the teaching and research information of junior high school mathematics education, but we should also take into account senior high school and primary school mathematics. And the information of computer, physics, chemistry and other related disciplines, especially the knowledge and information of pedagogy and psychology. Information is collected in various forms and can be roughly divided into three categories:
(1) Written forms, such as books, newspapers and periodicals. ;
(2) Oral forms, such as various meetings, lectures, exchanges and consultations. ;
(3) Electronic forms, such as the Internet.
This information is stored in different ways after collection, so it should be stored roughly first. There are four main ways:
(1) card, briefly indicating the author, title, source, abstract, number, date and other contents; (2) take notes and write them in a notebook; (3) Reproduction or collection; (4) Electronic information storage.
Then classify and save. Using a computer, all these valuable documents can be turned into electronic information and classified. The process of sorting out and classifying, even the process of text input, can inspire you. I remember a poetess in Taiwan Province wrote a poem "Clean a table all my life". In my opinion, a scholar should "clean a table all his life". This provides strong theoretical support and countless precious examples for the writing of the thesis, which leads to further research and excavation of a certain topic and the writing of the thesis. Therefore, the paper was not written on purpose, and it feels a little familiar, and moaning without illness can't be a good article.
Second, the materials are complete and accumulate over time-the paper has been studying since the beginning of teaching and research.
There is some truth in the view that "the thesis still begins with teaching and scientific research" and "the thesis is under study but not written". "Thick accumulation and thin hair" is the foundation. Without the accumulation of practical courses, statistics and other materials, it is almost impossible to write more valuable papers. Where do these materials come from? How to find these materials? The answer is the old saying, "Pay attention to everything and learn". Specifically, the sources of materials mainly include the following aspects:
(1) Classroom teaching is the main position of teaching and research work and the most important source of materials. It is not only a process of teaching practice, but also a process of finding problems, learning from students and improving themselves.
(2) reflection after class;
(3) Homework records, from which students can not only find * * * * problems, but also remind us of the reform direction of teaching and research;
(4) examination summary;
(5) Problem-solving analysis, from which the problem-solving rules and proposition trends are explored;
(6) The survey feedback can be conducted in various forms, such as heart-to-heart talks and questionnaires, and the feedback information is a rare written material;
(7) those who question the results, learn from others but are not superstitious, find shortcomings or even mistakes, and dare to question people with insufficient reasons;
(8) Discussion of arguments. In the process of daily discussion, it is common for people with different views to have heated arguments, which often deepens their understanding of the problem;
(9) Inspiration epiphany. In fact, many materials of self-selected topics are suddenly thought of in work, study, life and even sleep. This inspiration is the result of deep thinking about the problem. Without conscious teaching and research spirit, inspiration is impossible.
Third, based on practice, refine new ideas-"cold spots" and "hot spots"
Junior high school math teachers are engaged in front-line teaching. They know the confusion and happiness in teaching best, the students' ideas and opinions best, and practice and reform most directly, which are difficult for experts and scholars and departments specializing in education and scientific research to do. For this reason, most of the front-line teachers' papers come from practice, which have strong practicability and distinct pertinence. We should fully understand these advantages and keep and develop them.
For another example, some "cold spots" in teaching are not common, but once they appear, students will be unable to intervene. How to create new ideas in papers? I think two points are very important:
First, the subject matter is novel in conception and unique in perspective;
Second, in time, the consciousness is advanced and the creation is timely.
Fourth, from small to large, step by step-first articles, then papers, from small to large, see capitalization.
Writing a thesis needs a process, step by step, and it cannot be done overnight. According to the general situation, the first author tries the following two steps:
Step 1: Practice writing articles about study guidance. Although these articles are not generally called "papers", such writing can be used as writing exercises, teaching or small topic research, usually around 1000 words; Require synchronization with teaching.
The second step is to write a teaching and research paper. First, we should pay attention to the practical research of problem-solving methods, from shallow to deep, and don't rush to write too theoretical papers. We can first explore problem-solving skills, then explore thinking methods, then delve into quality and ability, then analyze proposition principles and predict trends.
If you write some theoretical articles, you can find new topics that adapt to the development trend of education from teaching practice. It should be pointed out that the scope of a paper is not wide, but it needs thorough analysis, concise essence, and see the big from the small; The length of the paper is not long, generally around 3000 words; Compared with the study guide articles, the format of such papers is much more standardized, and the newspaper style should be carefully studied.
Five, skills and experience-copy, delete, add
When you want to write, you should first establish the title of the manuscript and clearly express several aspects you want to write with subtitles. For example, when I wrote the article "Exploration and Practice of Mathematical Constructivism Learning", I listed three subheadings according to the three characteristics of Constructivism learning-autonomous learning, cooperative activities and personal experience, and then launched them separately.
(1) In order to learn from other people's achievements, you need to copy the relevant paragraphs of the article as your theoretical basis or material and side examples. But pay attention to morality and never copy other people's papers. This requires reading articles many times and copying a variety of contents. I'm not afraid of too much content, but I'm afraid that the content is incomplete, and then I'll take the rough and choose the fine and delete it drastically. Plus my own ideas, examples in teaching practice, my accumulated achievements, etc. Leave it for the skeleton, but the article must have more of its own things, so that it is truly your own article.
(2) Be a conscientious person. Read regularly, choose relevant books and periodicals to put on the bedside, beside the sofa or on the desk, and read them often when you have time. Once you have an idea, record it in time, often think and study in this direction, and then refer to other people's achievements, you will certainly be able to achieve your own article. Perseverance, perseverance, "hard work pays off."
(3) Catch hot spots and cold spots. For example, I wrote "Mathematics Inquiry Learning Strategy" (the first prize in the city), which is to seize the opportunity of the new textbook, seriously study "Curriculum Standards", and combine my usual teaching experience and data collection. In addition, lectures and reports often contain many new ideas and concepts, which are also good topics for paper research. For example, I wrote "Exploration and Practice of Mathematical Constructivism Learning" (the second prize of the city), and the selected content is the content of the teacher's lecture when the computer undergraduate correspondence. Of course, I was vague about this issue at first, and only thought it was a good topic. But after reading many articles, I clearly understood the three main characteristics of "constructivist learning", so the clues of the article were clear. Furthermore, when I was writing "The Cultivation of Metacognition of Students with Learning Disabilities" (National Second Prize), I came across the concept of "Metacognition", which is a kind of "cognition", and then I got relevant information from search engines, combined with my own experience.
All the above are my views on junior high school mathematics thesis writing, hoping to bring some help to my friends. The content involved is superficial. If we want to improve on the road of thesis writing, we need to learn from the success of more people, but in any case, personal practical innovation is one of the most important factors, and my colleagues will definitely write better articles than me.
