At present, middle school students are generally not interested in political courses, mainly for three reasons: first, there is a prejudice that ideological and political courses are empty theoretical courses, and it is useless to learn them; Second, political lessons are dull and unattractive; Third, middle school students are weak in logical thinking and abstract thinking, and think that the ideological and political course is obscure and difficult to understand, and they are afraid of difficulties. More than two thousand years ago, Confucius once said, "The knower is not as good as the doer, and the doer is not as good as the musician." Therefore, "happy learning" should become the fundamental pursuit of teachers' teaching effect. Similarly, teaching is also an art. Teachers should try their best to make political lessons lively and interesting, seek ways and means to enhance the interest, achieve the perfect combination of teaching content and students' favorite teaching forms, and let students regard political lessons as a pleasant thing. There are two ways to improve the learning interest in ideological and political courses:

First, pay attention to the art of teaching.

Teaching art refers to the way that teachers give wonderful lectures by using ingenious ideas, appropriate metaphors, flexible teaching methods and vivid language according to a certain knowledge system and logical order. If we don't pay attention to the art of teaching in ideological and political course, it is easy to generalize and the teaching effect will be greatly reduced.

First of all, the import should be wonderful. Lead-in is the starting point of a class, a scientific and ingenious means of organizing teaching, and embodies teachers' creative work. It is like a bridge, connecting the old and new courses; As a prelude, it indicates the climax and ending behind; Like a road sign, it guides students' thinking direction. The lead-in process is the "preparation work" of the whole classroom teaching, and it is also the preparation of teachers and students for the upcoming new class teaching. Therefore, well-designed lead-in is of great significance to achieve the expected teaching objectives and achieve good teaching results. For example, when I was talking about the relationship between ideological and moral cultivation and scientific and cultural cultivation, I introduced the case of Ma Jiajue's murder in Yunnan University, which made students deeply realize that it is not enough to have scientific and cultural knowledge, but also to cultivate higher ideological and moral cultivation and improve their psychological quality. So as to lay a good psychological foundation for introducing this course.

Secondly, the language should be vivid. The appeal and persuasiveness of ideological and political course are directly related to teachers' language skills and language style. The Book of Learning says: "A good singer makes people remember his voice, and a good teacher makes people obey his will." If teachers want to make abstract theories attractive and arouse students' strong interest, they must learn the depth of philosophical language, the rigor of logical language, the standardization of linguistics and the popularization of popular language. Dimitriev, an educator, said: "Teachers are not megaphones, they pass things other than books; It is not a camera, copying reality, but an artist and creator. "For example, when I was talking about" Life Values ",I introduced the story of three college students of Yangtze University who died unfortunately because they bravely saved children from drowning. I said, "The clouds are low and the river is weeping. 19 years old-in the mood for love, the best time in life has just begun, but three lives were frozen in the rolling river and sank at the moment of saving people ... It seems inaccurate to say that their deeds touched me and shocked me. Because, in the world before us, there are too many things that are moved and shocked by people. Putting these stale words on these college students can not only fully express their human brilliance when they rushed into the river without hesitation, but also desecrate their clean spiritual souls. The feat blooms the brilliance of human nature, and it is respectable to be a hero! "Let students feel the brilliance of correct life values.

Third, body language should be strengthened. Body language mainly includes eyes, facial expressions, nodding, shaking head, gestures and other actions. Facial expressions can be combined with audio language to enhance the expression effect and increase the information emission; Eyebrows express opposition, praise, encouragement and other intentions; Gestures enhance the appeal and persuasiveness of spoken English and distract students' attention in class. Some teachers only pay attention to imparting knowledge; But they didn't notice the positive influence of body language on students. As we all know, teachers' trusting eyes, appreciative smiles and affirmative nods will bring great spiritual strength to students.

Fourth, the personality should be noble. Roland, a French writer, said, "If you want to spread sunshine to other people's psychology, you should have sunshine yourself." Otherwise, it will not only fail to convince students, but even make them doubt the scientific nature and credibility of the political course. If the moral image of teachers is consistent with students' expectations, students will "love their teachers and believe in their ways" and take teachers as examples to shape their own personality; As a political teacher, we should be consistent in words and deeds and take the lead in setting an example. What students are asked to do, they must do it first. As the guide of life, political teachers should have noble moral sentiments, perfect personality, establish a healthy atmosphere and set an example; Seek truth from facts and dare to tell the truth; Have a strong will, never waver in the face of difficulties, never retreat, and have the same goal. To ask students to love the people, we must first love students; If students want to learn and explore, they should read widely. In this way, students will admire the teacher's knowledge and personality, firmly believe in the scientific nature of political lessons, enhance the enthusiasm and initiative of learning, and stimulate positive emotions. It can be seen that the teaching charm of ideological and political course also depends on the teacher's personality charm.

Method 2: Change teaching methods and means in the teaching process to stimulate "vivid" political classes.

1. Situational teaching method can greatly cultivate students' interest in political lessons.

Teaching situation refers to a learning environment with learning background, situation and learning activity conditions, which is set according to the teaching content in classroom teaching, is suitable for and acts on the learning subject, produces certain emotional response, and enables them to learn actively and constructively. The teaching situation can run through the whole class, or it can be the beginning, middle or end of the class. Confucius, a great educator in ancient China, had already carried out this kind of teaching practice. Confucius runs a private school, leads students to travel around the world, and gives students proper education anytime and anywhere because of things and people. Situational learning theory appeared in the west after 1980s. This theory holds that knowledge is situational and knowledge is activity, background and text.
