“Innovation is the soul of a nation’s progress and the inexhaustible driving force for a country’s prosperity.” The essence of innovative education is to cultivate students’ innovative thinking ability. Innovative thinking refers to a thinking process that forms new connections through independent analysis and synthesis on the basis of existing knowledge and experience to solve problems; innovative ability refers to obtaining new and unique ideas through reasoning and judgment based on innovative thinking. cognitive ability. The combination of the two is innovative thinking ability, which is the core of various abilities. Composition training in Chinese teaching is the main way to cultivate students' innovative thinking ability, that is, to cultivate students' innovative thinking ability through the four links of "material selection-conception-writing-evaluation" in the composition process.
1. In the selection of materials, cultivate students’ divergent thinking ability
Material selection is the first level of students’ composition. In the teaching process, we often find that students' compositions are all the same, with almost the same content, and these are all pieced together by the students biting their pens. Our lives are originally colorful and colorful, and there are many things that make people laugh and cry. Why are the compositions written so bad? The primary reason is that students’ divergent thinking abilities have not been cultivated during the material selection process.
Composition is an intellectual skill that uses language and words to reflect objective reality and express thoughts and feelings. It is inseparable from the participation of thinking activities. The so-called divergent thinking is to focus on a problem and think deeply from different angles or sides to obtain all possibilities for solving the problem. Everything in life is a multi-faceted and diversified complex. Due to the different abilities and moods of the authors, their understanding and feelings of things are also different. Students need to quickly and effectively select materials that fit the topic and express their unique feelings from a large amount of complicated information, which requires divergent thinking skills. Most of the masterpieces have well-chosen materials and unique insights. Cultivating students' divergent thinking ability when selecting materials will help students think more smoothly and quickly when writing.
There are two main ways to train divergent thinking ability: 1. The same topic in multiple genres. After students get the topic, they can write poetry, prose, novels and other genres, and they do not have to be limited to a certain genre. 2. Multiple ideas in the same genre.
2. In the process of conception, cultivate students’ image thinking ability
Conception is to focus on the selected materials and combine the situations heard and felt in life, that is, intuitive images and representations, with the help of association and imagination, the process of processing in the mind.
The painter must have a clear idea of ??the image he is painting before he can enter the creative stage. The process of conception is the activity process of image thinking. To cultivate students' image thinking ability, it is necessary to create situations and stimulate imagination. Teachers should induce students to enter a specific writing realm, mobilize their senses such as vision, hearing, smell, etc., immerse themselves in the situation, and combine and process the selected materials in their minds. For example, after assigning the essay title "First Time__", some students wrote "First Time Riding a Bicycle". At this time, the image thinking in their minds has already unfolded, as if they were on the playground learning how to slide their legs and how to sit on a seat. , how to stumble around; some students wrote "The First Time Cooking", as if they had put on an apron and were already working in the kitchen, selecting, washing, cutting, copying, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, color A plate of delicious food with all the flavors is ready to come out.
It can be seen that in the process of conception, teachers should focus on the development of students' image thinking, based on the rich accumulation of life images, and use the means of creating situations and stimulating imagination to give full play to the role of students' senses and minds , strengthen their image thinking ability, thereby improving the efficiency of composition.
3. Cultivate students’ logical thinking ability in writing
“A pregnancy lasts for ten months, and once it is delivered.” After the preparation stage of material selection and conception, the composition enters the writing stage. , that is, to reproduce the conceptual image in the mind using literary language, which requires students to have good logical thinking ability. Expression is the appearance of human psychological activities. Good logical thinking ability can make students' language expression accurate, concise, organized and hierarchical. How to cultivate students' logical thinking ability? There are two main things I do:
1. Keep a diary. A diary is a shot in daily life and a sincere revelation of the soul. While recording their own growth process, students develop their sense of language and enhance their expression.
2. Do a good job of "composition serialization". Based on the four years of junior high school, we should make an overall plan for composition teaching, clarify the goals and content of composition teaching for each grade and semester, and strive to form a teaching synergy between composition teaching and writing training at each grade to effectively improve students' writing skills.
The sixth grade is mainly about writing about things, and the main training goals are to have clear narratives, storylines, plots, profound themes, and appropriate details; the seventh grade is mainly about writing about people, and the main training goals are to write about people with characteristics and the selection of materials is typical. Sexuality, can use a variety of description methods, can write vivid details, and can flexibly use contrast, foil, frontal and side description and other writing techniques; the eighth grade mainly focuses on scene description, and the main training goal is to describe scenes with characteristics and be able to use a variety of Rhetoric enhances the appeal of language, can create emotion and understanding in the scene, discuss in meetings, and use a variety of argumentation methods to enhance the persuasiveness of the article; compositions in grade 9 focus on comprehensive innovation.
4. In the evaluation process, cultivate students’ judgment and thinking ability
Judgment and thinking ability means that individuals can think about problems calmly based on facts and objectively evaluate the achievements of others or themselves. Analyze and identify the pros and cons. The cultivation of this ability needs to be carried out in the composition review. In traditional composition teaching, after students finish writing their compositions, they are sent to the office by the class representative, and the teacher makes corrections one by one. The famous educator Mr. Ye Shengtao has always advocated that composition teaching should change the traditional practice of teacher correction and allow students to take the initiative. We require students to write based on the implementation of key points of ability, and guide teachers to reform the composition correction form, comment methods and other aspects based on the principle of reducing burden and increasing efficiency.
Ask the teacher to adjust the assessment accordingly
