How to cultivate good writing habits in primary school students
Students developing good writing habits is what every teacher and parent pursues and expects! The great educator Bacon said: "Habit is a tenacious and huge force that can dominate life." Expert research shows that 3 to 12 years old is the critical period for forming good behavior. After the age of 12, children's habits have gradually formed. , it will be difficult to develop new habits. Therefore, the critical period for good study habits is the primary school stage!
Since the new curriculum reform, traditional teaching concepts have gradually been replaced. Many teachers have neglected the cultivation of students' writing habits when pursuing novel teaching methods. As primary school teachers, I believe we all have this feeling: when a book is written particularly cleanly and neatly, and the well-arranged homework is placed in front of your eyes, you naturally feel comfortable and it is a beautiful enjoyment; however, when a book is written with sloppy writing, When the messy and ink-stained homework comes into view, disgust will arise spontaneously. The primary school stage is the best time to cultivate students' writing habits. Good writing habits will benefit students throughout their lives. Next, I will talk about cultivating students' good writing habits based on my teaching practice.
First of all, strengthen teachers and students to develop good writing awareness. Lower grade students have many bad habits in mathematics learning:
Many primary school students write words that are crooked, scrawled, uneven in size, and some do not even look like words; their writing posture is incorrect and their habits Sexually tilted in a certain direction, etc. Others include incorrect writing posture and writing method, irregular and irregular writing, over-reliance on eraser, illegible handwriting, untidy workbooks, scribbling and correction, etc. If these problems are not corrected in time in the lower grades, they will continue and become difficult to correct in the future. Not only is it poor handwriting, it is also detrimental to children's physical health and mental health. Therefore, it is urgent to correct students' bad writing habits. As a lower grade mathematics teacher, it is our duty to pay attention to these issues.
Good writing habits include correct sitting and writing postures, standardized writing, neat handwriting, and neat homework books. We should start from the following:
(1) Let students master writing and writing methods. Adhere to the teacher's demonstration, repeated training, guidance one by one, and correct postures. At the same time, make up some rhymes to help students remember the essentials of writing, such as: "The head should be straight, the body should be straight, the shoulders should be flat, the arms should be open, the chest should be wide, and the feet should be steady. The tip of the pen should be tilted to the left and forward, and hold the pen with three fingers leaving an inch."
(2) Take the writing of the 10 basic numbers as the first level of writing. Let each student know the order of strokes, find the correct position for starting, extending and closing the pen, and practice writing according to the textbook. In the first semester of the first grade, I insisted on practicing every day and strictly trained the correct writing of numbers in the "Tian Zi Ge". After training for a period of time, "liberate" the numbers from the grid and write the numbers in a math homework book or white paper. During each homework correction, if an incorrect number is found, a wavy line will be drawn under the number, which is equivalent to a wrong question and students are required to correct it. If the writing is generally illegible ask for it to be redone. At the same time, students with correct handwriting will be reflected in their grades. In this way, over time, students will develop a good habit of writing correctly, which will also make students have a more correct attitude towards learning, be more careful, and reduce the error rate of questions.
For example: If students are required to have beautiful handwriting during teaching, they can only write one calculation in each line. After each question, there should be a blank line. When doing vertical expressions, horizontal lines should be drawn with a ruler. The neatness of the book requires students to think carefully before writing and use less eraser. If they have made a mistake, they should wipe it clean before writing. Otherwise, it will not look clean and the numbers will not be clear, which will affect the performance of the book. The accuracy of the work will also affect requirements such as aesthetics. There are also requirements for writing postures, such as the back should be straight and the eyes should be one foot away from the book.
Although such requirements are mentioned in students' ears from time to time, every time they correct their homework, they still find that the writing does not follow the format or there are errors or the handwriting is not neat. Sometimes the work is better within a few days, but the problem occurs again after a few days. I pointed out the phenomena in a timely and patient manner, educating students to correct their mistakes and make corrections in a timely manner. Mathematics is a serious science. Only strict requirements can help cultivate students' meticulous learning attitude and help students take every operation step seriously. Only in this way can the quality of mathematics homework be improved.
Secondly, teach by words and deeds, set an example, and cultivate students' good homework writing habits in a subtle way.
If students want to have good writing habits, the impact of teachers’ behavior on students cannot be ignored. As a teacher, you should also pay more attention to writing in daily life. I think the most influential thing for children should be every Classroom blackboard writing by the class teacher. Therefore, during class, the writing on the blackboard should be reasonably designed, standardized and neat, and the writing should be done one stroke at a time. Even a small "=" or a horizontal line in a vertical style must be drawn with a ruler. In addition, during homework The comments given to students during correction must also be carefully written, firstly so that the children can understand them, and secondly, to set an example for the children. In students' homework and exercise papers, I often find that students' writing arrangements are unreasonable and their handwriting is not serious. Therefore, I feel that through such teaching methods, I can correct this bad habit of students, so that students can Good writing habits can be developed subconsciously.
In teaching work, in addition to the usual evaluation of students, students must also be encouraged and evaluated in a timely manner. Organizing students to carry out calligraphy competitions is an important means to encourage students to improve their writing skills. Last semester we held a homework exhibition. This event greatly touched the children and parents. For a long time, the children's writing was standardized and their handwriting was fair, which created a good atmosphere for handwriting in the class. I often use rewards to encourage children to write well: "Whoever writes the best, I will give a little red flower next to his handwriting. Whoever gets the most little red flowers will be the winner." "In the usual classroom inspection process, I adopted the "fooling" policy. "You have made progress", "Your handwriting is so beautiful, as beautiful as you", "Today's writing is much better than last time... These words undoubtedly give students a lot of motivation, watching them never fall in love Writing, don’t like writing
