So, how to cultivate pupils' interest in learning?
First of all, teachers and parents should know which classes children like to learn and which classes they don't like to learn through observation, conversation, homework and analysis. What is the reason why you don't like studying some courses? You never liked them? Only in this way can we deeply understand the development trend of their interests, be aware of them, and then carry out targeted education.
Secondly, carry out a series of educational activities to help students establish correct learning motivation and stimulate their desire for knowledge. The stronger the demand, the stronger the interest. On the contrary, the stronger the interest, the stronger the demand. Motivation is the driving force to meet demand. Therefore, to cultivate primary school students' interest in learning, it is necessary to stimulate the demand for knowledge, thus generating the motivation to satisfy knowledge. Therefore, teachers and parents should always educate primary school students about their learning objectives, guide them to define their learning objectives, make learning a conscious and strong need, and establish correct learning motivation. At the same time, we should protect their curiosity, encourage them to ask questions boldly, carry out creative thinking activities, and constantly stimulate their knowledge needs. For some boring subjects, it is necessary to clarify the significance of studying undergraduate courses, educate them to closely link learning with the needs of socialist construction in the motherland, and make their personal interest in learning subordinate to the needs of the motherland.
Third, according to the characteristics of primary school students' interests, try to control their learning emotions and make their interests gradually stable. Pupils' interest in learning has four characteristics:
First, it is easy to stimulate, but it is difficult to maintain stability, and their interest is easily influenced by teachers. For example, a teacher gives vivid lectures and students are full of interest. If another teacher gives poor lectures, students' interest will suddenly drop.
Second, interests are easy to be broad, but it is difficult to concentrate. Pupils often want to learn everything and are interested in everything. They like this today and that tomorrow, lacking core interest.
Third, it is easy to produce biased thoughts. It is not easy for primary school students to understand the importance of all-round development of learning, and they are also easily biased by temporary love.
Fourth, it is related to the difficulty of teaching materials. In the process of learning, if they think the content of the textbook is very simple, they will not find it difficult to master knowledge and the workload is not heavy, then they will feel that there is nothing to learn, so they lack interest in learning. On the other hand, if they find the content of the textbook difficult to understand and have too much homework, they will feel heavy burden, which will lead to irritability, anxiety and fear of difficulties, and even lead to resistance to learning.
These interest characteristics of primary school students are related to their unstable emotional development. In fact, interest in learning is the emotional expression of students in learning. Therefore, teachers and parents should always pay attention to students' emotions and keep students' learning emotions full, positive and stable. Only in this way can their interest be high, strong and lasting.
Fourth, adopt various teaching methods to attract primary school students' interest in learning. Specific practices:
(1) To enhance the attraction of learning subjects, we can hold small exhibitions of some subject knowledge, exhibitions of students' excellent homework, works and achievements, etc. ;
(2) Continuously improve teaching methods. Teachers should use children's language as much as possible to make their lectures lively, interesting, infectious and easy to accept.
(3) Help students with learning difficulties to eliminate psychological barriers and give specific guidance on learning methods;
(4) Clearly tell children the significance of participating in this activity, let them do it by themselves, see the results of their own activities through their own active activities, and cultivate the effective interest of primary school students through practical activities;
⑤ Organize primary school students to visit, so that they can understand the role of what they have learned in practical application;
6. Tell students stories about scientists' interest in learning, and constantly encourage and praise students' studious spirit.
"Interest is the best teacher." But interest is not innate. Interest is the most important thing to do everything well. Let's talk about our views on this issue.
