Facing students all day, sometimes I feel very distressed when educating them. Although I taught them seriously and educated them repeatedly, the students' behavior did not improve. Many times, I am frustrated with their education of "treating the symptoms rather than the root cause".
When I was reading Mental Health Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, I learned a lot from an article "Might as well put more beautiful labels on children".
This leads to a story: It is said that during World War II, the US military sent a group of people with bad behavior to the front to fight. These people are lax in discipline and don't listen to orders. Later, the authorities invited some psychologists to manage them. Psychologists ask them to write a letter to their families every month, telling them that they are brave in fighting on the battlefield, can obey orders and have made many achievements, and the content is basically the same every time. After half a year, they became what the letter said. What makes them all better? It is the suggestive function of labels such as "courage" and "meritorious military service".
In the education of students, we can often see the "label effect", which has a great influence on students. However, students who are labeled as "poor" in student communication sometimes give up on themselves and break the jar, which is easy to be negative and pessimistic. When such students are together, they will influence each other, thus making them lack confidence, their desire and interest in learning vanish, and their requirements for themselves are also reduced. This has formed a vicious circle, which has brought bad influence to students.
1, stick more front labels, and do not stick back labels.
Suhomlinski once said that from the first day of school, we should be good at discovering, consolidating and developing all the good things in children. In the process of education and teaching, we should be good at discovering the advantages of students and looking for the bright spots of children. Giving children more positive hints, positive reasoning, positive guidance and inspiration is conducive to the development of students.
As an educator, don't always satirize, attack and dig at children, which will cause children's inner passivity and depression and have a negative impact on their development. Some children live and study in long-term criticism and neglect, resulting in psychological maladjustment and even mental illness.
2. Stick more development signs instead of conclusion signs.
Things are always changing, so students should be evaluated from the perspective of development and change. If mentally retarded children's physical and mental development is worse than that of ordinary children, we can help them understand their vertical development to achieve their progress. Attach more development signs to students, stimulate their confidence, cultivate and stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, and enhance their motivation for learning. In this way, students' learning enthusiasm, learning attitude and behavior habits will be improved, which is conducive to the healthy development of students' body and mind.
3. Stick more encouragement cards and less reprimand cards.
When educating students, we should say more words of encouragement. As long as they make little progress, they should encourage praise and create a democratic and harmonious atmosphere between teachers and students. Smiles, praises and symbolic rewards from parents and teachers will stimulate and promote the development of behavior habits of underachievers. We should always remind ourselves that we are completely equal to the students, and we should not scold them loudly at any time, and we should not make them feel scared by scolding, sarcasm and sarcasm.
