In the book "Exercise Transforms the Brain", Dr. John Reddy tells us with a lot of powerful research results that exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also strengthen the brain. This conclusion is undoubtedly exciting and eager to know. As a physical education worker, understanding the influence of exercise on the body and brain is like opening another window. Only by knowing the principle can children get more scientific and comprehensive development.
I still remember the first physical education class. I asked the first-grade pupils what the benefits of sports were. At that time, they can also list loudly that exercise can lose weight, become stronger, grow taller and so on. The children were right, but now that I think about it, my knowledge with them at that time was obviously not comprehensive enough. This book fully proves that sports can strengthen the body, regulate the mood and strengthen the brain. Therefore, how to do a good job in school physical education scientifically has triggered my in-depth thinking and improvement of current physical education.
1. Clarify the nature of teaching and cultivate hobbies.
We often talk about "cultivating the habit of lifelong physical exercise", so we often urge and encourage students to take part in exercise. But when our students leave campus, can they still keep exercising? As the book says, "the sedentary lifestyle destroys our nature", there are too many "temptations" for us to stand in front of sports. Therefore, the essence of physical education teaching should be to teach students a healthy lifestyle, so as to really develop the habit of lifelong physical exercise.
In primary school, students' cognition is constantly developing, and they are fresh to everything, so it is easy to develop hobbies. Therefore, when organizing students to engage in various sports, it is particularly critical to actively explore the interest in sports and let students actively participate in it.
2. Pay attention to the learning process and give process evaluation.
In daily teaching, we often find that students are backward in running and lazy in training, and most of these students show the characteristics of weak physical fitness. Students' poor physique is because they don't like sports and reflect on themselves. If I train with the standards of national first-class athletes, I am sure I can't bear it. While teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, we should also understand that "how fast you can run is more important."
"Students' grades are evaluated according to their efforts, not their skills", which is not a fixed evaluation standard hanging on the window. Only by properly adjusting the difficulty and skills of sports so that students can achieve it can they persevere. In physical education class, students like to get attention and praise from teachers, while negative comments will keep them away from sports. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a correct evaluation concept: seeing efforts is progress.
3. Exercise step by step to keep brain activity.
This book has introduced the positive effects of exercise on the brain in detail, and also discussed the training plan of the brain, stating that "the better the physical fitness, the stronger the adaptability of the brain." At present, the framework system of physical education in China is mainly based on skill teaching. More and more studies have proved that good physical fitness is the basis of technical and tactical training and improving sports performance. Therefore, whether it is to cultivate students' basic sports ability or to master a skill, physical training needs to be designed more scientifically and comprehensively.
Therefore, physical training should first pay attention to comprehensiveness and make corresponding training plans every week. In a certain period of time, it involves strength, flexibility, speed and many other aspects. Secondly, we should pay attention to the gradual progress of each individual training, and conscientiously implement the number, frequency and interval of groups; Finally, according to the individual's physical differences, give appropriate flexibility, steadily promote their physical development, in order to maintain psychological flexibility.
Different people have different opinions. For a physical education teacher, "training and transforming the brain" will definitely lead to a series of thinking about "let children win in physical education class" and benefit from it. Come and study and exercise together!
