In another way, lively and interesting.
Everyone likes new and interesting things. If teachers constantly change the way of prizes or rewards, they can achieve the effect of "four or two" in education.
1. Change the mode-always change and always be new.
I always give awards to students in various ways:
A. Books, newspapers and magazines are like reading books, and students are told that "their minds are full of poems and books", and reading is to make their lives more energetic;
B. Book coupons allow students to "charge" their wisdom, which not only conveys knowledge, but also conveys feelings and a quality;
C. Bookmark, write a self-made motto on the back;
D. greeting cards, which are used for holiday rewards and send greetings, are both beautiful and practical;
E. Out-of-print photos of the teacher himself, with autograph or motto.
It is true that rewards often need the help of certain items, but items are only carriers after all, and students care more about the trust and care from teachers.
In terms of price, these prizes are very cheap, but their value cannot be underestimated. With these positive projects as prizes, we can make education interesting and meaningful.
In this way, the prize is both an object and a goal; It is not only a reward carrier, but also a channel to achieve the goal; It is not only related to students' psychology, but also to their spiritual quality.
2. Reverse reward-combination of praise and criticism
We should all be familiar with the famous story of "Four Sweets". Reward and punishment are like two trays on the "incentive" balance. Without either side, the balance will be unbalanced. In fact, as long as teachers can form a frank, caring and respectful relationship with students, and treat students with a developmental and comprehensive vision, even if they point out their shortcomings, students can feel the positive expectations of teachers.
After appreciating the positive factors of students, Tao Xingzhi appropriately expressed his expectations of students through euphemistic language and indirect ways, so that praise and supervision go hand in hand and belittle praise. His words of "expecting in praise and urging in expectation" will surely be engraved in students' hearts for a long time.
Quietly reward-keep a secret
There is a student in the class who is clever, but lazy. He often delays or even doesn't do his homework.
Once, after a student answered a difficult question correctly, I asked him to come to the office after class. The student arrived as promised, and I gave him a prize. This award is a note that says "Your thinking is really unique". The students were so excited that they rushed to preach.
After that, I extended this method to other students, and all the students enjoyed this kind of reward, and gradually formed the mindset that "all letters are praise".
Slowly, I began to write some warning words about the mistakes of some students, but other students didn't know it. They thought it was a letter of commendation, which made the criticized students feel fully secure, so they accepted it gladly and silently improved.
Finally, I wrote targeted exercises, problem-solving guidance, matters needing attention, test scores, reasons for success or failure, and asked students to write back, such as answers to exercises, learning confusion and other heartfelt words. Everything is "silent", but the students have quietly undergone major changes.
4. Two-way transmission-circulation effect
I sometimes cut colored cardboard into bookmark size, or fold it into various shapes, and write something suitable for memorization or famous sayings as prizes for students. As a result, I found that the students enjoyed "reciting" the above contents.
Inspired by this, I put forward some difficult problems in time and found that students are still willing to accept the challenge. Then, I encourage students to write answers or questions on the back of the cardboard and send them to me. The enthusiasm of the students is rising again.
Later, I privately asked my classmates who didn't talk in class to write down what they wanted to say to me in case they felt lost.
5. Special definition-give new ideas
Most class teachers usually arrange their seats according to the principle of matching men and women, from short to high, and from poor eyesight to good. Extra seats are often in the last row, often reserved for naughty students, and become a dark corner that everyone can't avoid.
I broke the routine and put the extra seat in the front row of the podium, euphemistically called "the first seat", and announced that only those who performed well or made the fastest progress were eligible to sit in that position. As a result, the seat changed its former cold and cheerless state, became hot and became a throne.
02
Focus on incentives and long-term effects
Rewards should not stop at material stimulation, but also pay attention to spiritual cultivation like "sugar-coated pills". Although sugar-coated pills can make them delicious, this is just the beginning. What really works is the powder inside.
At the same time, material rewards need to be prepared in advance, which can't be carried out anytime and anywhere, and the effect is short-lived; Spiritual reward can be carried out immediately, with lasting effect and can benefit people for life.
6. Spiritual edification-no trace of exposure
I am no longer limited to material rewards, but pay more attention to spiritual rewards such as honor and opportunity, such as:
A. Take a group photo and freeze the warm moment with the award-winning classmates.
B. comment, a concise comment tailored for the students who were rewarded.
C. Writing poems, using students' names as Tibetan poems and giving them to students as prizes is absolutely unique.
D naming right: whoever claims the class-specific spare parts will name the spare parts, and whoever participates in the creation will name the works, similar to "Li tiao" and "Li Gua" in gymnastics competitions.
E. Press conference, impromptu interview with the award-winning student, or a short celebration ceremony for him.
F. Surprise good news. Without students' knowledge, call parents or send text messages to report good news, or make a special trip with teachers.
G. Patents, giving names to students' small inventions or original learning methods and explanation ideas, such as "so-and-so discovery", "so-and-so experiment" and "so-and-so method", and seriously issuing patent certificates for them.
H.*** Have lunch with the award-winning students and experience a face-to-face warmth.
First, signature, which can be the teacher's signature to the rewarded person, or the rewarded person's signature to the class work, so that they can enjoy celebrity treatment.
J. Leave your name, and let the rewarded student write his name in the class honor book, and let him leave a message or press his handprint.
K. Spokesman, so that students with outstanding talents in a certain field can act as "image spokespersons" or "information publishers".
Take the "Arc de Triomphe" in length, and the other students face each other in two rows. Hand in hand with the opposite students in the air, forming a long "Arc de Triomphe", so that the praised students ran to the "door" with a smile.
As an educational means, reward is to cultivate students' inner and lasting spiritual motivation, not to give them temporary satisfaction. Although it is not a fairy tale, it needs fairy-tale romance and a precious childlike innocence.
These special prizes have a strong "added value" because of the close friendship and sincere and equal communication between teachers and students, and their "value" and effectiveness have doubled, making educational life romantic and light, just like adding a little catechu to water, which can make plain water vivid and fragrant at once. Needless to say, such awards show the wisdom of teachers.
7. Internal drive-external and internal.
I opened two reward gardens, Starry Sky and Growth Footprint, on the back wall of the classroom.
The former judges once a month, and awards 20 awards, such as "Responsibility Star", "Management Star", "Service Star" and "Two Exercises Star", and posts photos of winners, with acceptance speeches attached below the photos; The latter can be said to be a record of students' growth trajectory, and all the honors or awards won by students are recorded one by one. This award garden not only decorated the classroom with bright colors, but also became a "visible" glorious route for students' growth.
Instead of relying heavily on material stimulation, this reward method applies the principle of "rewarding internal motivation", focusing on the needs of students' own growth, which invisibly helps students establish the concept that "only practical efforts can be rewarded", thus establishing the correct relationship between rewards and their own efforts.
This kind of reward, both inside and outside complement each other, can be described as "value for money" and "millions of benefits"
8. Arouse interest-full of interest
According to the number of students in my class, I bought 62 classic paperback books for the students to read in turn and then sign their names. The students are full of interest. After graduation, I let each student take away a book he likes as a reward for reading. Such a prize is both a gift and a souvenir, which surprises the students.
It is worth mentioning that my highest reward for students is to walk into the bookstore with me, where teachers and students can savor the wisdom between the lines and nourish their hearts. With the "word of mouth" of books and the "role model" of teachers, students naturally have extraordinary gains. In fact, teachers also benefit from it, because reading is another kind of "preparing lessons"!
03
Be sincere and touching.
Reward is not only a simple teaching skill, but also a sincere communication between teachers and students. It needs to be based on heartfelt emotions, which should also be the starting point of all educational behaviors.
9. Inject emotion-double the value
One student stuttered a little and was reluctant to raise his hand to speak. After he cleaned the floor again, I gave him a bitter one and told him, "Eat this bitter one is sweet, and practice speaking according to the method taught by the teacher." Give it a try! " The student looked at me in surprise and stammered, "Thank you-thank you-thank you teacher." Later, it worked "as expected" after hard work, and he felt that his stuttering symptoms were getting lighter and lighter.
Touching people, don't worry about feelings yet. With the teacher's sincere love, a very ordinary and extraordinary pain is sweet, which is immediately endowed with magical power, eliminating the child's anxiety and inferiority, giving him self-confidence, making him fully feel the teacher's concern and expectation for himself, and transforming it into a driving force for progress.
The teacher's warmth is quietly integrated into the child's heart, and its great role is really touching. This kind of reward, because it has the core of true feelings, will have a lasting and profound effect and will leave an indelible mark on students' hearts.
10. Reward what it needs-it's worth it.
It was snowing heavily, and the students looked at the thick snow with longing. I saw a poor student wearing thin clothes and decided to lead the students to have a snowball fight. After having fun, I arranged a day's homework:
Sketch activities with snowball fights as the theme.
Finally, the poor student won the prize. The prize is a beautiful scarf and a pair of thick gloves. This award has brought her endless warmth all winter.
In this case, based on the real communication between teachers and students, the teacher gives out what the students need as prizes, which makes the students feel that this is not charity, but a well-deserved reward. This kind of reward method allows poor students to enjoy equality and dignity while enjoying warmth.
This kind of reward takes "reward" as the main line, "encouragement" as the ultimate value orientation, and its core is care, making it more selfless, pure and energetic. This way of helping others and not wanting to be known is the wisdom of education and the realm of education.
04
Decent and moderate, not sparing details.
If a student seldom gets a reward, it is attractive and precious to him. With the increasing number of awards, especially the repeated use of the same award method, students' interest will gradually weaken and the value of awards will become lower and lower. Therefore, teachers need to carefully consider the rewards, and do not hesitate to pay attention to the details, especially to be appropriate and moderate, neither lacking nor too much.
1 1. Point-to-surface combination-giving consideration to fairness
There are always some classroom activists in the class. They are quick-thinking. Every time the teacher's question comes out, they can catch up quickly. But in this way, not only other students' thinking is affected, but also their own thinking stays on the surface. How to combine "point" with "face" without hurting these activists and taking care of other students in the class?
So I made a private agreement with these activists: "Your thinking is sharp, but in order to take care of other students, let them have a chance to answer questions. Raise your hand three times in the future to get a chance to answer questions; If the answer is creative, you can get another chance to answer questions or reward a very challenging topic. " The activists accepted it gladly, and they performed positively, while ensuring the efficiency and order of the classroom.
We often encounter such a dilemma: if we respect activists and let them speak freely, the classroom may be monopolized by them; If we suppress activists blindly to take care of the silent majority, or turn a blind eye to their performance, it will also dampen their enthusiasm.
The reward measures in this case not only encourage the silencers to actively strive for the opportunity to speak instead of relying on the teacher's "hand-picked", but also guide the activists to learn humility and pay attention to the depth of their own thinking.
Doing so not only respects differences, but also gives consideration to fairness, which is conducive to the formation of a harmonious classroom atmosphere. It can be said that only in such an atmosphere can teachers "deploy troops" like a duck to water, and students can get long-term development.
12. Pay attention to low carbon-economy and convenience
The reward should not be too much, nor should it be rigidly adhered to a certain fixed form. Sometimes a smile, a look, a compliment or even a thank you after borrowing a pen are all effective rewards. These reward methods are economical, simple and direct. Although they cannot be measured or recorded, they convey a kind of care, respect, trust and encouragement.
Reward should pay attention to "circulation" and ensure its "gold content". Only by being decent, moderate and appropriate can we see the wonderful in the dull and let the students be in a positive emotional state.
Such a reward, like a "softener", can eliminate tension; Like "enhancer", it can activate thinking; Like a catalyst, it can resolve contradictions. Of course, the form is just "seasoning" and must not be presumptuous and far-fetched. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive and self-defeating, giving people a feeling of gilding the lily.
13. Link context-context-dependent.
In class, I often set prizes according to the teaching content. For example, when studying the history of the Qing Dynasty, I gave students bookmarks about the emperors of the Qing Dynasty 12. This practice is very popular with students.
I even extended this reward method to class activities. For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I prepared many mini zongzi as prizes for students to participate in activities. Because it's a mini, it's cheap, and you won't feel full if you eat a few more. The students all like it.
In order to make students interested in learning content, in addition to teachers' superb teaching methods and organizational ability, timely use of rewards is also an effective way. It can guide students to further explore, try and communicate. Those difficult and interesting questions can often stimulate students' interest in inquiry and bring them a sense of accomplishment to a certain extent.
In the above article, prizes are linked to teaching content, which can undoubtedly concentrate students' attention, stimulate students' interest in learning, and let teachers and students step into the hall of knowledge together in a pleasant atmosphere.
14. It varies from person to person-tailor it to suit your needs.
When a student who has always been reticent asks a good question, I will reward him with the opportunity to ask another question or solve the problem independently;
When a timid student reads a textbook affectionately, I will reward him for reading more;
When a student with a good foundation completes his study task with high quality, I will ask him to explain the problem to you or reward him with a challenging exercise. If he has difficulty in solving it himself, he can post it on the bulletin board and make an advertisement on this topic.
When a student who doesn't like reciting completes a task well, I will reward him for helping the Chinese teacher read ancient poems silently. When he dictated the text of the whole class, he had learned the ancient poems by heart.
There are no two identical students in the world, so the reward must be based on the actual situation of the students, and the reward should be sincere, full of care and expectation.
Students can fully feel that expectation from the teacher's emotional language, rich facial expressions and kind words. Imagine, if our awards are all for this one student, then colorful and distinctive reward methods will naturally sprout.
Grasping the timing, method and scale of reward is also an art, which is dialectical, flexible, complex and diverse. Just like a chef's cooking, it's the same radish. Cut, slice, dice and shred, each with its own flavor.
Therefore, the same reward method will have different effects because of different users. Of course, the ultimate goal of reward is to help students develop and internalize good behaviors, so that they don't need rewards in the end.
