Some people say that if you don't be a class teacher, you will lose half the meaning of being a teacher. This has become the profound experience of most class teachers, because it tells the true meaning of education. In my days as a class teacher, what I remember most is probably that I designed and "directed" many successful and failed collective activities. ...
First, the role and significance of collective activities in class collective construction
For human beings, life lies in exercise; For class groups, activities are the support of their lives. Without activities, there would be no collective education, and there would be no birth of educational collectives. Class groups are produced with activities and formed in the process of activities. Activities are the bridge of class collective construction.
A collective that is not linked by activities is just a pale, silent, cold and scattered collection. The reason why a group can have strong cohesion is that collective activities bring great psychological satisfaction and opportunities for everyone to display their talents, so that students can lay a foundation for future social life in rich classroom life, free them from the ocean of simple words and formulas, and have a world he wants to go to and a paradise he cultivates.
Any sound student class collective is the result of careful training and education by the head teacher and teachers. In the process of the formation and development of class collective, it is always closely related to colorful class collective activities. It can be said that there is no collective without activities, and the collective is formed and developed in activities.
Specifically, group activities can:
1, cultivate sentiment and morality. Emotion, will and good moral behavior are formed, consolidated and developed in students' active participation in activities. Students gain personal experience in lively independent activities, which is helpful to form healthy thoughts and feelings, correct moral concepts, the ability to distinguish right from wrong and the consciousness of democracy, cooperation and competition; Help to cultivate sentiment and temper will; It helps to form good qualities and behavior habits such as seriousness, responsibility, honesty, diligence and firm self-management.
2. Enrich knowledge and broaden your horizons. Class activities are rich in content and involve a wide range of fields. On the premise of students' interest, contacting new things, transmitting new information and gaining direct experience through various acceptable ways will inevitably enrich students' knowledge fields, and then perceive the progress of modern science and technology and social development and expand students' horizons. Broad vision, rich knowledge and vivid direct experience have laid a rich foundation for in-class learning.
3. Develop special skills and increase talents. In the practical activities that students love, they can best embody and develop their talents, discover and cultivate their unique interests and hobbies, and gradually form their specialties. Through the comprehensive application of various scientific knowledge and skills, we can develop intelligence and stimulate creativity. In group activities, you can exercise your communication ability, organizational ability, adaptability and self-regulation ability.
4, enhance physical fitness, strong physique. Carrying out various cultural and sports activities, especially vocal music, dance, drum band, track and field, ball games and martial arts activities, is conducive to students' physical development, physical exercise and self-care ability.
In addition, there is a deeper meaning:
1. Strengthen collectivism education through collective activities.
Suhomlinski believes that "collective" is a kind of "spiritual * * * identity". It is not a simple combination of members, but a fusion of members. On this basis, it forms an inseparable whole, just like a river formed by thousands of streams. In other words, the collective is not an ordinary collective. Once it is formed, it has greater power than the sum of its members.
Then, as a class group, what can we rely on to unite dozens of students who don't know each other and have different personalities into an organic whole and produce a strong synergy? Its important carrier is group activities. Cultivate the spirit of class collectivism in collective activities. Collectivism, with its strong cohesion, integrates individual thoughts, emotions and goals into collective thoughts, emotions and goals, thus effectively supporting the class collective construction.
Of course, collectivism is neither inherent nor nihilistic. Need to be cultivated, can also be cultivated. The key is to effectively carry out collective ideological education in collective activities and cultivate students' collective consciousness and sense of collective honor. Let every student know what a collective is, understand the relationship between individuals and the collective, correctly understand their position and role in the collective, and clarify their responsibilities and obligations to individuals, so as to consciously care for and care for the collective, link their words and deeds with collective honor, integrate themselves into the collective, and finally internalize the collective goal into a personal goal. And all this is inseparable from class collective activities.
2. Make the class form a correct collective public opinion orientation through collective activities.
Public opinion is a kind of public opinion and evaluation. Collective public opinion refers to the views and opinions that are dominant in the collective and recognized by most people. It affirms or denies the words and deeds of collective movements or collective members in a broad sense or in the form of praise or criticism, and becomes the power to control individuals or collectives.
Makarenko believes that the power of public opinion in students' collective is a material and practical educational factor. Correct public opinion is the unwritten code of conduct of the class collective, the material for students' self-education and the great driving force for the formation and development of the class collective. The influence of class collective public opinion on students is often much greater and more effective than the personal strength of the class teacher. It is often seen that many students who make mistakes are not afraid of the comments of the class teacher, but most afraid of the condemnation of collective public opinion. If the correct collective public opinion prevails, we can defeat unhealthy public opinion and crack down on bad work style, and the wrong words and deeds will be untenable, and once they appear, they will be immediately besieged and condemned. Cultivate correct collective public opinion and adhere to the guidance of collective public opinion, and the class teacher will take the initiative to attack and get twice the result with half the effort. On the contrary, it will cause great difficulties to the class teacher, make it difficult for the class to form a collective, and cause class disorder; Therefore, adhering to the guidance of collective public opinion is one of the important signs of the formation of class collectives, and all this can not be separated from class collective activities.
3. Cultivate a good class spirit in group activities.
While insisting on the guidance of collective public opinion, class teachers should pay special attention to cultivating excellent class spirit. Because the class spirit is the style of a class collective, it is a consistent expression tendency of most people's ideology, moral quality, will, emotion and mental state in a class collective. Class spirit originates from the formation of public opinion. The collective public opinion of a class, which works for a long time, will form the class spirit of this class. Of course, the formation of class spirit also needs the long-term education and training of the class teacher. Excellent class spirit is an invisible educational force, which can subtly influence the thoughts and behaviors of the whole class and play an important role in the consolidation and development of the class collective, and all of this can not be separated from the class collective activities.
Second, the content of class collective activities
The head teacher should be able to determine the activity content according to the school, professional plan, grade and class education objectives, the characteristics of collective education and the laws of students' age and physical and mental development. As far as the nature and function of collective activities are concerned, they are generally divided into the following categories:
1, educational activities. Ideological and moral education and code of conduct training are the main contents. Through theme class meetings, team activities and traditional educational activities? Quot Activities such as "learning advanced and cultivating new styles" enable students to receive moral cultivation and social morality education and develop good behavior habits. The theme class meeting is a meeting with a clear theme held by the class teacher to strengthen the collective construction of the class; Team activity is a collective activity organized by the Youth League Committee of the Class Committee to strengthen team building, or to publicize a certain idea, a certain viewpoint, or to learn a certain spirit. Class teachers should accurately grasp their nature and characteristics and give full play to their respective educational functions.
2. Knowledge activities. The main content is to cultivate interest in basic subjects, expand and apply subject knowledge, and strengthen skills and intelligence training. By organizing extracurricular interest groups, holding knowledge contests, learning to operate microcomputers and other activities, students are attracted to actively participate. Conditional, students should be organized to visit the Science and Technology Museum, to visit and study in colleges and universities in the community, and so on. All activities should reflect the combination of knowledge and interest, so that class activities can become the cradle of broadening students' knowledge horizons, improving students' intelligence level and developing students' abilities and specialties. For example, open? Quot Learning activities of "interesting mathematics" and "mathematics in real life" can stimulate students' interest, expand students' mathematical knowledge, cultivate students' mathematical ability, and learn to observe, analyze and solve practical problems by mathematical methods, which plays an irreplaceable role in classroom teaching.
3. Entertainment activities. The main content is to cultivate students' interests and skills in literature and art and sports. By organizing concerts, appreciation of literature and art, we can cultivate students' healthy aesthetic taste, form elegant sentiments, develop students' interests and specialties in literature and art, and develop sports competitions such as track and field, ball games and chess, so that students can form the habit of conscious exercise and constantly strengthen their physique. For example, basketball is teenagers' favorite sport. Strong antagonism, fierce competition, flexible skills and tactics. Organizing basketball activities can effectively improve students' physical fitness, hone their tenacious will, cultivate their sense of competition, spirit of struggle and spirit of cooperation, and promote their all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique.
4. Practical activities. Community practice activities aim to connect schools, communities and families, closely combine school education with social education, and then improve students' social practice ability initially. Through organizing students to visit, on-the-spot investigation, writing investigation reports, participating in public welfare labor and social services, we can guide students to get in touch with and understand society and enhance their sense of social responsibility and social adaptability.
Third, how to organize and implement class collective activities.
In carrying out activities, while emphasizing students' independent participation and active development, teachers should give full play to the guiding role of activities and handle the relationship between teachers and students in activities. It should be noted that activities not only create conditions for students' development, but also provide a stage for teachers to work creatively. The guiding role of teachers should be reflected in the following aspects:
1. Start actively. Before each activity, teachers should be able to make full preparations and mobilize their thoughts. In particular, it is necessary to clearly explain the significance and purpose of the activity, and make use of students' strong desire to participate, thus generating a thirst for scientific knowledge and a strong interest in learning various skills and abilities, and inspiring them to be eager to try, diligently pursue and grow their talents in the activity. For example, when carrying out handwritten newspaper activities, teachers should first explain the significance of carrying out this activity to students; Then, by introducing the basic knowledge of newspaper editors and the methods of writing and extracting articles, students' interest in self-edited newspapers is aroused and their confidence in handwritten newspapers is established.
2. Command realization. In class activities, teachers are both planners and instructors. In order to promote the healthy development of students' personality, everyone should have projects and goals, which fully reflect the full participation and popularization of activities. Teachers should be good at grasping the process of activities, reasonably arranging activities procedures, and controlling all activities to make them interlocking, enthusiastic and orderly. Should be able to guide the actual situation: when students' interest is dull, they can be skillfully stimulated to make them fully involved; When students don't know the meaning of activities, they can be tactfully guided to explore step by step; When students' activities are frustrated, they should demonstrate patiently so that they can solve key problems with confidence, and so on. The leading role of teachers should run through the whole process of activities. At the same time, it is necessary to give full play to the leading role of class cadres, and some activities can be organized and managed by them to reflect the students' dominant position; We should also pay attention to discovering and cultivating activists and give play to their leading role in order to carry out our work better.
3. Make a summary. After each activity, the class teacher should make a comprehensive summary and fair evaluation realistically (or let the students make their own summary and evaluation), not only sum up the positive side, but also point out the shortcomings, clarify the improvement side, and gradually improve the level of class activities by constantly summing up experiences and lessons, thus forming a virtuous circle. At the same time, we should be able to show our achievements, for example, after the handwritten newspaper activity, we should hold an exhibition of handwritten newspapers by students or groups; After carrying out art activities, a student art exhibition should be held; After singing and dancing, you should organize a report on the performance and so on. In addition, at the end of the period, we should reward the advanced elements emerging in class activities and encourage students to become talents.
Four. preventive measure
A class collective activity, after careful preparation, can be said to have reached the stage of "everything is ready, except the east wind" However, "a hundred miles is half of ninety". It's like a good play. No matter how successful the rehearsal is, the audience will still boo if something goes wrong at the scene. The class teacher must not think that you can rest assured that you are fully prepared, and the class teacher should also encourage everyone to go all out to implement it. Just like a ball game, if you play well on the spot, you will get a good result, even exceeding the expected result. Practice shows that in order to achieve good results in the implementation of class collective activities, the class teacher, as a "director", should pay special attention to the following points in the effective March stage.
(1) Check the preparation before the activity again.
The class teacher must personally (or mobilize the class cadres to cooperate) to conduct a comprehensive and timely inspection of the progress of the preparation for class collective activities, find the deficiencies, and make up as soon as possible. But you must control your emotions. Before the formal activities begin, don't complain or blame the students, and don't criticize them loudly. This will make everyone be poured with "a pot of cold water" when they are full of expectation and enthusiasm, so that everyone does not know what to do. At this time, even if a little problem is found, the class teacher should try his best to encourage students to overcome difficulties and do a good job in collective activities with the spirit of "venting". At the same time, the class teacher pays attention to guiding students, organically unifies various forms of "programs" carefully prepared, and the theme of the right-to-use activities is vivid and vivid.
(2) The first line of visiting activities.
The class teacher must sit at the activity site from beginning to end and cannot be absent for any reason. The class teacher's personal participation in the activity shows that he attaches importance to this activity and is also an encouragement to the students. The absence of the head teacher gives students more reasons to be absent or on the sidelines, which is tantamount to throwing cold water on their study and enthusiasm. Of course, the head teacher can only appear as an ordinary participant, and can't interfere with the rights of the host, change the theme and process of the activity at will, interrupt the discussion or speech of the students at will, and make comments in the middle of the activity. The class teacher must speak as a general participant and obtain the permission of the host. If the activity is off topic, the class teacher can only guide it through the suggestions of the moderator. The head teacher has a special position in students' minds. His words and deeds will have an impact on students' psychology, thus interfering with normal activities.
(3) Pay attention to the improvisation of the host.
Class collective activities are usually hosted by students. Therefore, the class teacher should pay attention to the selection and training of the host, choose students who dare to speak and command, and never find a hesitant person. For the whole process of the activity, the class teacher must let the host know in advance and help him prepare carefully according to the host's situation. More importantly, the class teacher should encourage the host to preside boldly, learn to improvise, and use his wit and courage to mobilize the emotions of the whole class. In addition to the guidance of the class teacher before the activity, encouragement in the activity is also very important. In the course of the activity, the class teacher should always look at the host with appreciation, and the host will naturally be inspired by the class teacher's eyes, and will also give appropriate instructions to the language, or give timely hints through the change of expression, but these are not enough, otherwise the host will be at a loss, his thinking will be blocked, and the effect of the whole activity will be affected.
(4) Handle emergencies carefully.
No matter how carefully you think about anything, there will always be accidents, and so will class activities. For example, the speaker derailed at will because of excitement, which caused students to argue fiercely, performers or presenters made mistakes, venue conflicts, sudden power failure at the party, sound failure, outdoor activities in a storm, a student suddenly fell ill, activities were disturbed by external factors, and accidents occurred. The class teacher should be sober and calm. Don't make a fuss and complain about others, which will have a bad influence on students' mood. This not only shows the head teacher's educational wit, but also shows the students' educational level in dealing with emergencies. The class teacher should promptly induce and properly handle emergencies. Class teachers have more social experience than students, and their position is more suitable for negotiating with schools or social people and seeking help. In a word, the class teacher should deal with foreign-related events in a timely and thorough manner, without leaving any signs, and ensure that the activities continue.
(5) Adhere to the effective guidance of the whole process of activities.
First of all, pay attention to fully mobilize and give play to the enthusiasm and creativity of student cadres and key elements, push them to the position of masters, let them be masters of their own affairs, organize and guide themselves, and help them succeed. The head teacher, as a staff officer and tutor, gives the student some useful guidance to help him succeed. Secondly, pay attention to give full play to each student's personality, so that each student has a position, a task, a role and a contribution in the activities. Only when all the students have entered the role is the best state of the activity. Attention should be paid to helping students flexibly arrange the order of activities and grasp the process of activities. Thirdly, we should give full play to its leading role, pay attention to guiding and requiring each student to closely focus on the theme of the activity and express their inner details in their own language. We should observe carefully and record them in detail one by one, so as to find the favorable opportunity for education and carry out education in time.
(6) Summarize the consolidation stage
Summary and consolidation is the last link of class collective activities. It is not only a successful conclusion for this activity, but also a preparation for the next class collective activity; It is necessary to make an overall evaluation of this activity, but also to consolidate and expand the educational effect of the activity and play a guiding role for the next activity. Therefore, the class teacher should pay attention to the following points at this stage.
A. assess the gains and losses of activities in an appropriate and objective manner
The head teacher's evaluation of class collective activities should be objective and the analysis should be to the point. The evaluation of the activity mainly includes: whether the activity is successful or not, what are the main aspects of success, what are the reasons for success, which students have made the most outstanding contributions, whether there are still shortcomings in the activity, what aspects or aspects, why and how to improve in the future; If it is a failure, it is not easy to analyze and evaluate the above problems convincingly, which links and aspects are the main failures, which subjective and objective reasons lead to the failure, who bears the responsibility, whether there is success or not, and what lessons are there. The head teacher should choose the appropriate way according to the specific situation: he has full confidence and grasp to make a fair and impartial evaluation, and can evaluate it in time at the end of the activity. If the idea is not mature, students can evaluate it themselves or find another time to evaluate it themselves. The following methods should be avoided in activity evaluation: taking evaluation as the patent of the class teacher, taking one's own evaluation as the authority, and forbidding others to get involved and question: rashly engaging in it, regardless of the consequences, and telling the whole story of immature views; All trivial things, such as running accounts, are boring; Fuzzy evaluation, praise is not like praise, and depreciation is not like depreciation; Judging people and things by subjective impressions and personal likes and dislikes.
B. Be good at collecting students' feedback on activities in time.
Education is a finely crafted knowledge, and the class teacher should always pay attention to observing the subtle changes of students. For example, when Huang Jiacan, a senior class teacher, was talking about "deformity", she found that a female student's head was gradually lowered. Shit, this is a classmate with a disabled right hand. She shouted in her heart and immediately added: "Some people take deformed people as jokes, which is immoral. We should sympathize with and care for people with physical defects. This is a noble sentiment. " The female student raised her head and returned to normal. Teacher Huang also breathed a long sigh of relief. She secretly blamed herself for almost breaking a young heart. It can be seen that each of our class teachers should observe carefully like Mr. Huang. Capture feedback information in time, deal with it quickly and tactfully, and deepen activities and education.
C. Focus on sublimating the theme and deepening understanding
The first essence of summary is to sublimate the theme of class collective activities, deepen students' understanding and enhance the educational effect of the activities. The head teacher should pay attention to guiding students to sublimate and strengthen the new knowledge and enthusiasm they have gained in class collective activities, and transform the requirements of educators into the requirements of students' own education and development, thus inspiring their own actions. The summary of class collective activities should play the role of finishing touch, so that students can gain new enlightenment from the summary of the class teacher, discover new realms and new goals, and realize the truth that they have not realized before. Whether it is necessary to upgrade the theme depends on the specific situation. When the understanding between students has reached a level that the class teacher can't surpass, the class teacher is reluctant, not only can't achieve the finishing touch, but it is suspected of gilding the lily.
D. Focus on consolidating the educational achievements in the summary activities
The head teacher should pay attention to guiding students to sum up the gains and experiences of participating in class collective activities, make use of the position of class collective activities, edit all the gains and experiences into special issues, post exhibitions, and consolidate students' ideological understanding. The summary of class collective activities can be divided into summative summary and comprehensive summary. When carrying out a series of activities, we should summarize the stage. Make a comprehensive summary before the end of the activity. When making a comprehensive summary, we should make a comprehensive review and analysis of the whole activity process, raise the perceptual knowledge to the level of rational knowledge, and find out some regular things so as to better guide our future work. The form of summary includes commendation meeting, report meeting, exhibition, report performance meeting, composition, special issue, etc. If conditions permit, you can also use the evaluation stage to quantitatively analyze the activities, so as to make the achievements and gaps of the activities more accurate. Attention should be paid to consciously guiding students to consciously implement the resolutions or requirements formed in the activities, and consciously connecting students with practical activities such as daily study, life and exercise, so that they can learn new knowledge in class collective activities and become effective knowledge reserves after consolidation, thus expanding their knowledge. At the same time, it is necessary to make students' skills learned in activities become skilled and automated skills, and they can operate independently and increase their talents. Especially in the process of summing up, when students are enthusiastic, let them make some choices or make some agreements, and urge them to put them into practice after the activity. In class activities, students often find some problems and have the desire and enthusiasm to solve them. If the head teacher can grasp this kind of psychology, discuss solutions with them at the conclusion, formulate specific measures, and encourage them to stick to it after the activity, it will get great results and consolidate the educational achievements of this activity.
Some experiences
1. Before the activity, you should predict and determine the goal to be achieved by the activity. After the activity, we must compare, analyze and summarize the results with the objectives.
2. The requirements in the activities should be strict and the standards should be high.
3. The class teacher should rely on it in his activities, just like relying on it. Otherwise, it is better not to rely on it.
There must be a unique way to deal with some problems.
5. Always remind yourself: "Did I praise you today?" .
6. Criticizing students can only be false anger, not true anger.
7. The class teacher should learn more and even directly copy the experience of others.
8. Exercise actively and keep a positive attitude.
