I remember that at every parent-teacher meeting, as a class teacher, I always emphasized such a problem to parents: to correct children's learning attitude. Only by studying hard can you learn something. If you don't have a correct learning attitude, you can't get good learning results. But most students are not moved by it.
By chance, I saw a story and felt very enlightening. In a morning meeting class, I told the students this story:
After the famous library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire, people found a surviving book in the ruins. A poor student bought this book. Although this book has no academic value and its content is boring, poor students often read it. One day, the book was turned over, and a note fell out of the spine, which wrote the secret of the touchstone: the touchstone can turn any metal into pure gold, but it looks no different from other pebbles. However, ordinary pebbles are cold to the touch, and only touchstones are warm to the touch.
The poor students immediately ran to the seaside to look for it, but the pebbles felt cold. The poor student is getting disappointed. He angrily threw the pebbles he picked up into the deep sea. In this way, day after day, he threw pebbles with increasing strength. One day many years later, he found a warm pebble. When he realized that the weather was warm, habit had made him throw the pebbles in his hand into the deep sea.
The poor student returned to his place of residence in disappointment. At that time, the king offered a reward for those who were strong. Standing under the stage, he found that no one was strong. He tried it on stage. As a result, he was rewarded by the king. Rich, he re-bound the book, but found another note at the spine: there is no real touchstone in the world, but your attitude towards life is the touchstone.
What a good interpretation of "attitude is the touchstone"! Attitude determines whether we can succeed, because the key to success lies in whether we are constantly pursuing. If a poor student finds that the pebbles on the beach are cold and gives up looking, he will not become the strongest person in the country through repeated practice, nor will he get the honor and wealth envied by everyone.
The story finally has a happy ending.
Stories can inspire and inspire people, but there must be a certain way to do it.
We often evaluate a student's correct learning attitude, which mainly refers to his enthusiasm, initiative and consciousness in learning. On the contrary, to say that a student has an "incorrect learning attitude" means that he is negative, passive and even disgusted with learning. How to change this passive mood and make it active?
First of all, we should change our attitude towards students. We should treat every student equally and respectfully, and change the past "I am an educator and you are an educated person;" I am the giver of knowledge, and you are the receiver. The arrogant traditional concept has really become a partner of students' learning and exploration, guiding students to explore their unknown fields together, rather than superficial. Teachers don't drag students, but show them the direction, tell them how to go and what to pay attention to, stimulate their interest in learning, and make them willing and eager to learn. Teachers should discuss the ups and downs in the process of learning and exploration with students, constantly encourage them and cheer them on. Let students learn and explore from your expressions, gestures, language and other aspects.
Secondly, we should cultivate students' positive learning motivation.
Learning motivation is the most direct restrictive factor of learning attitude. The development of learning motivation will cause changes in learning attitude. If a person has a positive learning motivation, he will have a strong thirst for knowledge, perseverance and strong internal motivation. As teachers, we should not only impart basic knowledge to students, but more importantly, guide students to understand the purpose and significance of learning. We should edify and infect students with the aspirations and deeds of outstanding great men, famous artists and advanced figures in history and modern times, stimulate their patriotic enthusiasm, establish lofty ideals and lofty aspirations, and cultivate a positive and enterprising spirit. Only with positive learning motivation, students can sincerely correct their learning attitude, improve their learning efficiency and bravely face setbacks and difficulties.
It is also very important to help students establish achievable learning goals in the process of training. With timely goals, students feel full of confidence, and can try their best to achieve the goals, and feel the happiness and satisfaction of success in the process of implementing and realizing the goals. According to psychological analysis, the formulation and implementation of any instructive functional goal must go through intense psychological conflicts. If you are not realistic in the process of setting goals, it will dampen students' enthusiasm and enthusiasm. If you want to set a goal that is conducive to learning and gain a successful experience, you must follow the principle of "jumping and touching", which not only makes students believe that they can achieve it on their own, but also makes some efforts. Setting goals should be considered from many aspects, such as intelligence level, physical condition, existing foundation, will and perseverance. Of course, unpredictable measures to deal with other interference factors that affect the target should also be considered. Only by overall consideration can we make timely goals, so as to further identify with the goals and achieve the expected requirements.
In addition, the learning atmosphere also directly affects students' learning attitude. Strive for progress and catch up with my atmosphere will edify and infect students; Harmonious teacher-student relationship is conducive to mutual encouragement, mutual promotion and mutual communication, and is more conducive to improving students' recognition of teachers and academic purposes, thus further correcting their learning attitude. Of course, family, community and many other factors will also have an impact on the learning atmosphere.
In fact, attitude not only exists in learning, but also permeates all aspects of everyone. It is a life attitude and a life attitude. For students, only by realizing the truth that "no matter what you do, attitude determines everything" can you win life. Don't be discouraged even if you don't see progress after working hard for a long time, because your attitude gives you the best proof.
