Motivation is learned.
Incentives should be targeted, students' bright spots should be identified, that is, what is his specialty, and his bright spots should be activated.
There is a student named Li Ming, who often fails math exams and feels that he can't lift his head. But he likes painting. Once, when he was depressed because he didn't do well in the math exam, I said, "Li Liming, painting is the best!" " "From then on, he enjoyed it. Later, through hard self-study, I got a college diploma in fine arts and became an excellent painter. Zu Tao Qing is a repeat student. With the help and encouragement of all our teachers, he became a cheerful, disciplined, polite and diligent student. But he dropped out of school in the second grade. I said to his mother, "He has a good personality, good health and basic cultural knowledge. At least he knows RMB. Can such a qualified citizen have no place in society? "Later, he became an excellent security guard that everyone could trust. He is the initiator of every class reunion. Peng Xiaoming's memory and understanding are amazing. An essay, Fu on the Red Wall, can be memorized after reading it several times. I said to him, "I like you very much. You have a great talent, and you are eager to learn. You will be a great scholar in the future. "Later, he was admitted to Tsinghua University and stayed in school after graduation.
The incentives given to students' specialties can sometimes really "set a lifetime" for students.
This forward-looking motivation can often make students become a pursuit, an ambition and finally achieve results. Like Joe Tao Qing, becoming a qualified citizen is also an achievement, and he can only do so. Why do you have to make your little finger as thick as your thumb? That's not only impossible, but also a great torture for little finger. It has been pointed out that the tragedy of education is precisely that we try our best to turn thousands of students with different talents and personalities that God has given us into one person. We should respect differences. How great is the idea of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" put forward by Confucius more than two thousand years ago! However, how many people have implemented it today?
The language of praise and encouragement should be substantive, and the words used should be appropriate, realistic and unambiguous.
Empty praise, even vague evaluation, has little effect. You can use something like "you are great", but you'd better say where the "great" is. "You are great! Your handwriting smells like Liu Ti. " "How clear-headed you are! You can use semicolons correctly!" "Not only did you answer correctly, but your language was clean. There are almost no extra words, and there is no need to add another word. " Students can understand this language, know its benefits and inspire other students.
Motivation should focus on educating people.
"Although Zhu Lei's speech is a rebuttal to Li Ting, Li Ting has been listening calmly and is very gentlemanly." "Although Liu lost the election this time, someone told her that it was the teacher's prejudice that made her not judge the' three good', but she-everyone looked at her expression-kept smiling. It is more appropriate to change her name to' Liu Zhuo Smile'! " "I am very grateful to our representative from China. Every time I receive the exercise book, he turns it over for me-it takes time for him to turn to the page that should be corrected, but it saves me time. " "Let's have a look at Korea's revised composition. No typo can escape her eyes. Any advantage-even if a word is used well-has been circled, and she has added eyebrows. The general manager also writes better than me. This is called being responsible for others. " I asked my classmates to correct each other's compositions (with pencils) like teachers, and then handed them over to me for correction. How much the students have changed! Praise a few people every time. On the other hand, the students are more serious every time. Students change each other, what they gain is ability, and what they experience is responsibility. What good will it do to the students if I change it in detail? Most students don't look at it, just look at it and put it in a hole.
Encourage, be sincere and be emotional.
An understated and expressionless encouragement and affirmation will make students disapprove or even ungrateful. What is sincere praise and what is casual expression, students will know as soon as they listen. I never dare to treat primary school students as children.
Incentives should be timely
It takes a long time to praise things, and then it loses its meaning. Instant praise is the first stage. Outstanding performance, praise should be repeated, and I always praise in front of the whole class. -Be sure to say it in public! This will increase the sense of honor of the praised students and play a role of demonstration and guidance.
I have many motives. In addition to language, it also includes learning prizes (even if it's just a book and pencil I gave) and certificates. There should be more prizes, so that the prizes and certificates will not be swept away by a few students. There is also a strong motivation for students' compositions and calligraphy works to "hit a wall". There is also an incentive called applause. Don't underestimate the role of applause. Applause is the universal language. It also has a great incentive effect on people, and it is convenient and easy to do. It's really "easy" to give applause to the students who deserve praise.
Sometimes, create opportunities for students to be praised. Talent show, textbook drama, writing and performing "two-part allegorical saying", writing, dictation, reading and composition competition, various sports competitions (such as long jump, pole climbing, skipping rope, arm wrestling, mountain climbing, etc. ), reading contest ... As long as students want to be praised, there will always be a way.
I grew up with the encouragement of my teachers, and my students also grew up with my constant encouragement. At that time, the impression of the teacher's lecture content had long been indifferent, but all the words of encouragement and praise to the teacher would always be kept in mind.
I firmly believe in the role of "motivation". "Awakening, inspiring and encouraging" is a magic weapon of education.
However, there must be understanding, understanding, sincerity and enthusiasm behind it. In short, it must be supported by "love".
Education is arduous, but as long as we start from the "heart" and reach out, we can succeed. Education is very complicated, but as long as you learn high and keep fit, everyone will succeed.
Of course, "motivation" is not the whole of education, and education has other names.
