First, create an atmosphere and build self-confidence.
Emerson, a great philosopher, writer and thinker, said, "Self-confidence is the first secret of success." Bowie once said, "Lack of self-confidence is the biggest reason for failure." Then, as a primary school teacher, it is particularly important to establish children's self-confidence. Based on this, I often carry out colorful activities to create an atmosphere of self-expression of "I can do it" and build up students' self-confidence. For example, I often organize reading competitions, calligraphy competitions, knowledge competitions, speech competitions, handwritten newspaper competitions, debate competitions and so on. In the past, students in our class organized a speech contest of "I am confident, I am successful" by myself. Before the competition, the students carefully prepared the manuscript and actively asked the teacher for guidance. At the scene of the competition, the contestants were full of confidence, or cadence, or passion, or affectionate confession, or solicitation, and won thunderous applause from the students. Through this speech contest, we found that many students re-established the correct outlook on life and values, re-invigorated their spirits, re-shaped themselves, raised their confident sails, and established the self-confidence of "I can do it".
Second, learn to compete and enhance self-confidence.
Self-confidence is very important for the improvement of good competitive psychological quality. If a person has confidence in himself, he will devote himself to all kinds of activities with a hundred times enthusiasm, and it is easier to exert his ability and level. The best way to meet students' psychological needs is to motivate them. In class management, I adopt the system of class cadres competing for posts, so that every student who is willing to serve the class can make his own campaign speech and compete for posts. Students who work in this form have a correct competitive attitude, fully believe in themselves, work actively, and are serious and confident.
Third, teach methods and cultivate self-confidence.
Primary school students, it is particularly important to cultivate self-confidence. Nothing can be successful without confidence. Zhang Haidi obtained a master's degree by herself and took part in the college entrance examination. She is not born smart, so what does she rely on, self-confidence? If she has no confidence, will she take the college entrance examination? If she is not confident, how can she get a master's degree? Psychological research shows that the acquisition and consolidation of a psychological experience needs the constant stimulation of external information. The establishment of primary school students' self-confidence is still in a passive stage. In order to make them change from passive to active and become conscious behaviors, in addition to the correct guidance of teachers, the author thinks that mastering the method of self-confidence is the key.
1, learn to appreciate yourself
Helping children gain self-awareness and self-identity is the basis for children to have self-confidence. Only when children fully understand themselves, find their own advantages, and know that they also have something worth learning from others, will self-confidence come into being. Therefore, I often find the bright spots in students with appreciation. Through principled and artistic praise, arouse their internal subjective initiative, help students build self-confidence, and let them always feel "I can do it".
2. Learn to evaluate yourself.
I remember someone saying that a good beginning is half the battle. I said that if students have self-confidence, there is the secret of success. Whether the teacher's evaluation of students is appropriate is a barometer of students' emotions. If students' behavior can be evaluated by teachers in a timely and pertinent manner, students will feel appreciated, happy and positive, thus enhancing their self-confidence. On the contrary, you will be depressed, passive and lack of self-confidence. In order to enhance students' self-confidence, we should affirm students more, criticize students less, praise students more and satirize students less. Try to find the bright spots in students and find the advantages in children. Let them feel the care of their teachers. I remember one time, a good student in my class failed in the exam and was in a bad mood. He thought, "I can't do it." I talked to him. I said, the teacher knows that you must have made full preparations. It is accidental that you didn't do well in the exam. The teacher believes you. Remember "I can do it". After listening to my words, the students smiled confidently. Next time, he did really well in the exam. Although there is only one word difference between "I can do it" and "I can't", there are essential differences. "I can do it" is a necessary psychological quality for successful people, and "I can't" is the main reason for failure. Therefore, teachers should correctly guide students to overcome the wrong evaluation of "I can't do it", correctly understand themselves and fully tap their potential. First of all, teachers should let students clearly understand the content of self-denial; Secondly, let students seriously think about why they should deny themselves; Finally, let students take active actions to change self-denial into self-affirmation, thus forming a correct self-evaluation.
3. Learn to praise yourself
Jess Ryle, a famous American psychologist, said, "Praise warms the human soul like sunshine." For students, we should affirm and praise anything worth encouraging, arouse their self-esteem and self-confidence, and make it last forever through continuous efforts. Bater once said, "Love and trust are great and magical forces. Teachers carry the vision of love and trust. Even if they only look at their students, young minds will be sensitized and developed, reflecting beautiful images ... ". Therefore, in the interaction with students, praising students properly will enhance a harmonious, warm and beautiful feeling, replace criticism with encouragement, inspire students' potential motivation with praise, and consciously overcome shortcomings and make up for deficiencies, which is much more effective than blaming and complaining. The modern concept of children's education advocates encouraging children. In order to cultivate primary school students' self-confidence, teachers should encourage children to think, do and express their ideas in a timely, appropriate and appropriate manner, and give timely affirmation and praise to students even if they work hard and overcome a little difficulty in their study and life practice. Teachers should try their best to make them successful, because the sense of success is the driving force to build self-confidence. The teacher's encouragement to students is nothing more than "you are very good" and "you can do well". But such a simple word "35" will "bury" the seeds of self-confidence in students' hearts. On the contrary, when students encounter setbacks and failures in learning activities, the expressions of "stupid" and "you really hate" will not only make students lose their desire and courage to continue their efforts, but also lose their confidence, and may even make them unable to find the cornerstone of success-self-confidence. Therefore, when teachers help students, don't complain, don't scold, and don't compare with other good students. Otherwise, the harm to the students to be helped should not be underestimated. In my opinion, encouraging winners is to re-inflate the "colored ball" of self-confidence, not denying that losers are "colored balls" to protect their self-confidence, urging themselves to establish a correct attitude and improve their confidence in trying again. Only on the basis of accumulated experience of success and failure can confidence be established. Will benefit him for life.
Fourth, cultivate special skills and be firm and confident.
James said, "Everyone has the ability to succeed in life. Everyone is born with unique vision, hearing, touch and way of thinking. Everyone can be a person full of ideas and creativity, an accomplished person and a successful person. " Because of this, every student may have a skill. Careful teachers will pay attention to students' "unique ways". Once they discover their special potential, they will enthusiastically follow the trend and strengthen and develop with affirmation, encouragement and creation of conditions. When students realize that they are better than others in some respect, that they are not worse than others in all aspects, and there is no need to doubt that others discriminate against them, self-confidence and courage arise and gradually lead to success. Enthusiasm helps students learn to be independent, self-reliant, confident and self-reliant, and can also show the original ecology of life. Why not?
Some people say that faith can create miracles and is the first chemist of the mind. Others compare self-confidence to an engineer of a person's psychological structure. Because when confidence is integrated into the mind, the subconscious will pick up this shock and turn it into spiritual power. This shows how important it is to cultivate self-confidence. I hope every educator can become a psychological construction engineer for students, so that every student will always be full of confidence in his life journey and not afraid of setbacks. In addition, as teachers, we should constantly improve our cultural quality and moral quality, and work together with schools, families and society to cultivate children's self-confidence.
