A truly excellent class should be a class with frequent cultural activities and leading culture, a class where spiritual civilization and material civilization develop simultaneously, and a warm home with cohesion and love. To establish and strengthen the class with culture, we can start from the following aspects: first of all, we must grasp the "three firsts" (the first appearance, the first theme class meeting, the first group activity); we can also Through the class teacher's "classic quotations", class cultural symbols and other channels to create the core and soul of the class culture: class spiritual culture; and then through the establishment of a humanized class system culture, carry out class characteristic cultural activities and integrate home and school cultural resources, and determine Let culture make the class a success, and the class make the students a success.

This case gave me the following inspiration and thinking:

1. Reverse thinking

Reverse thinking is also called different thinking. It is a response to commonplace things that seem to have become commonplace. A way of thinking in which conclusive things or opinions are considered in reverse. The class teacher in this example dared to "think the opposite" and chose "class stars" not to judge the best but to choose the worst. This not only made the students feel very novel, but also achieved the effect of managing the class and forming a competitive class atmosphere. . Although conventional thinking and solving problems in traditional ways are simple, they tend to make ideas rigid and rigid, making it impossible to get rid of the shackles of habits, and what you get often are commonplace answers. A class with a poor "class style and study style" was brought back to life because of an idea of ??"class cultural activities". The class's appearance was greatly improved, which was highly praised by the subject teachers and school leaders. It can be seen that when everyone is thinking in a fixed direction of thinking, but you are thinking in the opposite direction and thinking in reverse, this is the "wisdom" of the class teacher.

2. Do what they like

“If you don’t understand students, you can’t educate them well, and laying the foundation for students’ lifelong development becomes an empty talk.” This is China’s top ten outstanding students. A sentence that teacher Ran Mengkai emphasized many times. The reason why the head teacher in the case was able to "throw rocks and stir up waves" was because he caught the "star-chasing" mentality of primary and secondary school students, followed their preferences, and was in line with the students' lives and psychological needs. Celebrities are "glamorous" in the hearts of children, so naturally no one wants to be a "bad star". This special selection method stimulates children's self-esteem and ambition, thus correcting public opinion and forming a Centripetal force promotes the formation of good class style.

3. The principle of wooden barrels

This example of "choosing the difference" makes people think of the principle of wooden barrels: the height of a bucket that can hold water is determined by the shortest piece of wood. decided. The overall level of a class is also measured by the level of students with poor foundations. To change the situation, you can only find ways to activate and change the worse part. So "a few weeks later, the discipline in the class had already changed." The transformation of the class in the case also proved once again that in order to change the backward appearance of a class in a short period of time, it is more effective to start by changing the "weak students" in the class. One of the methods.

Special Expansion

Class Culture

Concept: It mainly refers to the sum of ideological concepts and behavioral norms with certain characteristics formed within the class, and is the inherent quality of a class and the concentrated expression of external image.

Content: including class environment, class spirit, class emotions, class goals, class system, team awareness, class cultural activities, etc. The core of class culture is class spirit.

Function: Excellent class culture has powerful educational functions, motivating functions, and restrictive functions. It can edify students' minds and play a subtle and silent role.

Practical Exploration

Actually, I have not been a class teacher for a long time, only five years. However, some colleagues are wondering why the grades and routines of the class you teach, whether high school or junior high school, are so poor. , activities always take first place, and are rated as the advanced classes in Changsha every year. What is your secret? In fact, a truly outstanding class should be a class with a leading class culture. To make a class highly recognizable and cohesive, a unique class culture is needed.

So, how to build class culture? Now let me talk about Class 0907 of Bocai Experimental Middle School Affiliated to Hunan Normal University as an example.

1. Carefully design the "Three Firsts"

As the saying goes, "A good start is half the battle done." When new students enter the school and when the class is established, it is a good time to build class culture.

1. First appearance

The classroom is the carrier of a class, and the classroom environment is one of the symbols of the class image. Educator Suhomlinsky said, “Whether it is planting flowers and trees, hanging pictures and slogans, or using wall posters, we will make in-depth planning from an aesthetic perspective in order to tap into its subtle educational function, and ultimately connect it with the school’s The walls are also talking." The first appearance in the classroom will give all students a very positive psychological hint. Therefore, I arranged the classroom carefully. Place some green plants in the front and back of the classroom to make the classroom full of green and youthful. A seating chart according to the height of the students was written on the front blackboard, and the words "Welcome to 0907 Warm Home!" were written on the back blackboard, and pink balloons were used to form a heart-shaped pattern. Post four famous sayings with blue background and white characters on the left and right walls of the classroom to create a bookish atmosphere in the class, such as: "Habits determine character, character determines destiny", "Learning without thinking is wasteful, thinking without learning is lazy." Decorate the front and rear doors with some balloons and ribbons. When students enter the classroom and see that their class is particularly beautiful, they will feel the warmth of home; when students see their names neatly written on the blackboard by the teacher and take their seats, they will immediately feel accepted by the class. A sense of belonging; when students carefully read the quotes around the walls, their confidence in becoming outstanding will also be greatly enhanced.

The class teacher is the founder of a class, the creator of class culture, and the centripetal force of a class. Therefore, children often like the class teacher first and then accept and integrate into this class. Therefore, the first appearance of the head teacher is particularly important. The class teacher should make a deep impression on the students for the first time. When introducing himself, he should be innovative and culturally meaningful, and use his personality charm to win the love of students. I am a Chinese teacher, so when I introduced myself, I used an acrostic poem I wrote, "Yellow clouds are swaying in all directions, and beautiful sun shines over the clear river. I have just stood up to the top of the mountain, and my love is already all over the hills." My name is hidden in the poem. , as well as the name of the "Bocai" school, which also contains my blessings for them. The students find it very novel and admire it.

2. The first theme class meeting

“Let the class become a warm home for students to stay in for life” is my guiding ideology in building the class. Only a class with love and warmth will have popularity, vitality and potential.

In the three days of entrance education at the beginning of the school year, I carefully organized a class meeting with the theme of "Show Yourself Wonderfully". Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, let everyone show off themselves, and ask each student to leave his or her signature on the blackboard after performing. The class meeting was very exciting. When they showed themselves and appreciated others, the students fell in love with Class 0907. Especially when everyone in the class wrote their names on the black class, I used red chalk to frame all the names in two heart shapes, and wrote my name in the middle of the heart-to-heart. The students all clapped excitedly, feeling warm and happy.

3. The first collective activity

Using collective activities as a carrier can accumulate the core of class culture: class spirit. Activities can stimulate students' unprecedented enthusiasm. This enthusiasm can promote the class to form a united and progressive atmosphere, tightly uniting people's hearts. Once there is this class spirit, a group will have hope and motivation to move forward. As a class teacher, you must seize every opportunity for a class to appear collectively, so that the success of collective activities becomes a catalyst for class excellence. The first activity carried out by the first graders in our school was the "queue competition". This was an activity planned at the beginning of the school year. I arranged and participated in every physical education class practice for them in advance, and provided timely guidance to some students who did not move well. , strive for first place. Because a new group needs honor to encourage it.

Sure enough, after the efforts of the whole class, Class 0907 won the first prize. The students tasted the sweetness of success and fell in love with the class more and more. The class also received a good reputation from the grade teachers and students. "Success is the mother of success", and the class will move toward excellence driven by every success.

2. Create a spiritual and cultural atmosphere in the class

1. "Classic Quotes" from the class teacher

As the guide of class culture, the class teacher should always say some concise, Purposeful, motivational words. For example: "Only be the first and not the second", "Everyone is a business card of Class 7", "One step ahead, step by step ahead!", "If you pay attention to the process, the results will not be bad.", "You "You are not fighting alone" and so on. These frequently repeated words are called "Teacher Huang's quotations" by students, and many students even use them as "mottos". Finally, I designated the class teacher’s message as: “Those who are better than me in knowledge will advance in virtue, and those who are worse than me in circumstances will be in peace.” and posted it on the door of the classroom.

2. Collecting cultural symbols for the class

After the class was established, I collected cultural symbols belonging to Class 0907 from the whole class. After several rounds of screening, we determined the class goal as: "Let civilization become a habit; let civilization become a habit; "Learning becomes a belief; let dedication become a normal state!"; the class motto is "Don't give up, don't give up"; the class number is "0907, unite as one; 0907, invincible" (the monitor will lead the class every day after school. The students shout out the class number loudly to boost morale); the class flag is a hand-painted dragon "Qi" wrapped around it, which symbolizes striving to be the king and never giving up. The class song is composed by the students themselves, using the music "A Thousand Years Later"; many students participated in the production of the class emblem, because students all know that we will print the class emblem on all materials printed by Class 0907, which is of great significance. Finally, the whole class voted for the class logo. When students participate in these collection activities, they have a sense of accomplishment in participating in class construction as class masters.

3. Create a cultural atmosphere through multiple channels

Set up bulletin boards, honor rolls, heartfelt wishes, reading stations, calligraphy and painting world and other columns in the classroom, regularly update themed blackboard newspapers, and strive to build A bookish classroom culture atmosphere. We also use class web pages, class QQ groups and other means to provide a stage to showcase students' multi-faceted talents and enhance students' cultural heritage.

3. Establishing a class system culture

All culture is produced and formed in people’s practice. To be widely and deeply accepted by people, it must not only be instilled through external education , and it also requires certain rigid systems to regulate and restrict it. Makarenko believes: "Discipline is the best way to achieve collective goals, and discipline can beautify the collective." Class system culture is an important part of class culture. It is not only a symbol of class culture, but also an effective guarantee of class culture. Accordingly, the key members of the class headed by the class teacher must formulate a plan based on the "people-oriented" principle of the new curriculum reform and under the guidance of the specific school management system. Class disciplines and rules that are more in line with the characteristics of this class and more humane.

The class rules of Class 0907 were formulated after discussion by the class team cadres and submitted to the whole class for voting before they were implemented, and they were continuously improved during the implementation. Our class rules include various aspects such as study, activities, hygiene, security inspection, grooming, lunch break, etc., and the scores are quantified. "The class style is upright and the learning style is strong." Class rules are to restrain and correct students' bad behaviors. We have set up many reward mechanisms in regular quantification to minimize punishment methods, because using common coercive means to force students to comply is often counterproductive. In the quantitative assessment of the class, we adopt the form of more points and less deductions, and use weekly evaluations. A regular star will select ten "regular pacesetters" every half period. At the end of the period, every student can use regular points to redeem prizes to fully mobilize students' enthusiasm. I remember when I was redeeming prizes in the middle of the first semester, the most naughty male student in our class only had two points to redeem the prize, and he needed at least three points to redeem the prize. He came to me and said, "Teacher Huang, can you lend me one point?" ?" I said, "Okay, but it's a loan shark." He said, "I'll be very good next semester." He really made great progress in discipline.

4. Create class-specific cultural activities

Through organizing and carrying out various activities with a wide range of contents and diverse forms, we can improve students' ideological cultivation, cultivate students' emotional intelligence, and promote mutual respect among students. Understand and cooperate with each other to enhance mutual friendship and then sublimate into collective feelings.

1. Create a class cultural publication

The 0907 class magazine "Maple Dew" was born in the autumn. "Maple, Gathering Thoughts and Spirits Like Dew" has established columns such as "Walking with Seven", "Green Maple White Dew", "Spiritual Station", and "Enlightenment in the Book", which include the masterpieces of every student in the class.

2. Implement the "Class Diary" system

From the time they enter the school, each person writes a "Class Diary", and together they compose the "Story of Seven" to record the class growth process.

3. Establish learning mutual aid groups

In order to allow Qi to grow in competition and mutual assistance, I established ten "learning mutual aid groups" in the class. Group leaders were appointed, and each group drafted a unique group name, such as "The Unparalleled World", "Xunkong Wanli", "Qise Evergreen", "Wandering Dragon Suiyue", "Super Team", etc., and promoted them respectively. Posters have formed their own characteristics.

The leader of the sixth group "Sky to the Top" described the characteristics of the group like this:

Everyone in the world is a group.

Among them, there are six people from the south, whose learning and thinking are extremely strange, and those who feel confused and confused for no reason are called Fuyao.

There are only six people in the group, and those who smell the fragrance of poetry and become popular among the stadiums are Kunbi.

Lights and shadows flicker, and there is a person chatting and laughing leisurely in the group, Zhou Lin.

Who is the leader? Xiao Zou is the chief homework officer. Who is named? The team leader encourages himself.

People from all over the world come here to sing songs, wishing to soar into the sky and look down at the clouds and smoke ninety thousand miles away, so they call themselves soaring.

The meaning of Fuyao is not about division, but between success and failure. The feeling of honor and disgrace is something that comes from the heart.

4. Carry out class handwritten newspaper activities

Carry out class handwritten newspaper activities according to different themes. In view of the current characteristics of only children who are selfish and not able to praise others, I decided to write a handwritten newspaper with the theme of "Classmate, you are awesome" and asked every student in the class to praise them. Guide students to see the bright spots of others, enhance classmate friendship and class emotions.

5. Edit "Growth Footprints"

Students are required to edit a "Growth Footprints" every winter vacation or summer vacation to record the growth process of themselves and the class.

6. Conduct theme class meetings

Carry out theme class meetings based on specific problems existing and exposed by students and classes. They are proposed by teachers or students and hosted by teachers or students respectively for analysis. and summary. In order to achieve the purpose of timely adjustment and faster progress, students can distinguish right from wrong, promote good and suppress evil, and form a good class style.

5. Integrating parents’ cultural resources

The construction of a class cannot be separated from the support and vigorous cooperation of parents. The class has established a parent committee. When there are large-scale activities in the class, some parents can be invited to participate so that they can better understand their children's campus life and contribute to the construction of class culture. I will attach great importance to every parent meeting and edit a "Parent Meeting Handbook" with the title of the theme of the parent meeting, such as "*** creates a warm home of 0907", "The child has set sail, you and I*** "Assisting navigation", "Because of you, Class 7 is better", etc.; when the class was doing "research-based topics", parents were invited to give lectures, which achieved good results. When the "Maple Dew" class magazine was founded, some manuscripts were collected from parents. The following article "Exclusive Pride, Qiban" comes from the hands of a talented mother.

Exclusive pride, Qiban

The sound of laughter lights up the surrounding wind. Sunshine

It’s you. Qiban

It is the fragrance of flowers from tree to tree in front of the window

Bright and lively, it is the carnival of the happy couple

Xiling has passed through Qianqiu snow, The distance

The coast stretches for thousands of years. The dream

is you. Class Qi

Stepping on the beach, unscrupulously

Practice walking towards the dark blue sail.

Youth, connected in parallel at dusk

Shine like stars on the street

Hidden in memory

Story-filled That lattice pavilion in the Milky Way

After many years, on a full-moon night

Wandering around, there are you and him

Still, the knowing look

p>

This beautiful time is shining in my eyes.

After many years, the sail sailing to Soochow

rolled up thousands of huge waves, still

with the gleaming spring of Qiban

And that soul-stirring sound——

This invincible pride belongs exclusively to Qi Ban.

To sum up, the construction of class culture is a dynamic and developing system project. It represents the personality of the class, the image of the class, embodies the life of the class, and is the collective responsibility of all teachers and students in the class. The wealth created is the crystallization of the joint efforts of all teachers and students. When every student in the class is full of heart, full of passion, full of vigor and vitality, there will no longer be just a few "dazzling stars following the moon", but a situation of "sparkling stars". Our excellent class culture begins to take shape!
