Methods to improve middle school students’ learning motivation
The school learning of middle school students generally includes five basic systems: the motivation system of learning, the planning system of learning, the execution system of learning, and the motivation of learning. Feedback system, guarantee system for learning. These five basic systems cover the entire process of middle school students' learning in school. If they can all play their role normally, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
1. The motivation system of learning
The purpose of talking about the need for a motivation system in learning is to hope that students can find the initiative in learning during the learning process and inject content into their own learning. Motivation makes the purpose of learning clear, prompting us to achieve success in learning, be high-spirited, energetic, confident, and learn happily.
1. Try to explore the inner impulse of learning. When you are alive, you always want to accomplish something, have a beautiful dream, and achieve a magnificent career in the future. As middle school students, we must set ambitious aspirations since childhood. What kind of person we will be in the future, what kind of career we will achieve, what kind of achievements we will achieve, or what kind of ideal university we will be admitted to, and we will realize our own life. dream. There is an old saying in China: "If you look for the Dharma, it is from the top, and it will be from the middle; if you look for the Dharma, it will be from the middle, and you will get it from the bottom." That is to say, "The big ambitions will be in the middle, the medium ones will be in the small, and the small ones will not." To establish a beautiful psychological impulse, you must first determine what kind of ideal school you want to work hard to get into. With this dream in your heart, you will have endless inner impulses, driving yourself to work hard and move towards your goals.
2. Learning should lay the foundation for a successful life. First of all, learning is to prepare for our future career and happiness. If we want to make our career successful and make our family and individuals happy, we must learn. There is such a case: a mother's daughter does not want to study and watches TV every day. The mother is very anxious and says that if you continue like this, you will not be happy in the future. My daughter said, I live a good life like this every day and watch TV, which makes me very happy. The mother felt very embarrassed to answer. She didn’t know that the reason why she could watch TV was the result of her parents’ hard work. If economic supply and demand were interrupted, she would not feel happy just watching TV without studying. Some students will say, my father is so-and-so, my family has so-and-so, I will be happy no matter what, but they don’t know that once an accident happens: a parent falls down, a family accident occurs, a thief breaks into the house, a fire breaks out, an earthquake If you are shocked, you will be even poorer than others. So our study today is to lay the foundation for a successful life. Without this foundation, any beautiful dream in life will be an illusion.
3. Strengthen self-motivation and make your life full of success. To generate endless internal motivation for learning, the most important thing is to be self-motivated and self-confident. Some students said, I just want to go well every day and like to hear praise for myself, but don't encounter troubles. If the teacher always praises others but not himself, it will be very uncomfortable. We really need recognition or praise from others. But more importantly, self-motivation is required. In ancient times, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, once endured humiliation and heavy burdens in order to restore his country and strengthen his people. Working hard was his self-motivation to achieve great things. If we middle school students want to achieve academic success, we must always remind ourselves, keep sounding the alarm, persevere, and have ideals and pursuits in life. To this end, we can write down goals or oaths and warnings to motivate ourselves into notes and stick them in conspicuous places. We can also conduct learning competitions with classmates to encourage each other, so as to enhance learning confidence and internal motivation.
2. Learning planning system
1. Middle school students must learn to plan their own lives and arrange their own study and life. There is an old saying in China: If you don’t have enough food and clothing, you will become poor if you don’t plan well. The study and life of middle school students should also have a certain degree of planning.
There is a true story about a very smart but poor student in high school. He loves smoking, drinking, surfing the Internet, fighting, and falling in love. He is a typical "Five Loves" student. Once he competed against the dean of students, and when the school was about to expel him, he thought a lot and realized his mistake.
Once he helped the principal haul 3,000 coals. In order to get the dean's understanding, Jing stood in front of the dean's door until midnight. The dean got up and found him. After getting the dean's forgiveness, he regained his trust. Opportunities to learn. At the same time, he was also looked down upon by his classmates and teachers, but he endured it and seemed to be a changed person. He studied hard and was admitted to Tsinghua University.
There is a kindergarten in the UK. The teacher wants to conduct a test on life ideals. Just ask every child to write down their plans and ideals when they grow up, and write them in colorful ways. There was a kid named Blunkett who wrote that he wanted to be a Cabinet Secretary for Education. The teacher kept these notes for fifty years, and later published a notice in a newspaper asking the children of that year to search for the notes he had written. Finally, he received a letter from the National Cabinet. I am very grateful to the teacher for still keeping his note after 50 years. Of course he really grew into a cabinet minister of the country.
2. Have a time schedule every day
The top scorers in the college entrance examination have their own daily time schedule, or a daily study and life routine. For example, 50 minutes of self-study in the morning, self-study of non-stipulated subjects in the first time, and then subject self-study; there are specific arrangements after meals and at various office hours, insist on writing an essay every day, and arrange a certain amount of time every day Preview, review and consolidate courses, or make up for the shortcomings; if you go to grab a meal when others are eating, you can ask yourself to do 20 to 30 minutes of intensive exercises, arrange the time for handling trivial matters in life to the best shortest time, and insist on 20 minutes to summarize, consolidate and Write a diary, then go to the playground for a 10-minute run, wash your hands briefly, and then lie down. Everyone must make scientific arrangements according to their own characteristics, and it is better to correspond to the time arrangement of the college entrance examination.
3. There must be a phased review and consolidation plan. You can arrange the subject's supplementary strengthening plan in units of days, weeks and months to make your study and life consistent with the school's arrangements and the teacher's teaching arrangements.
3. The execution system of learning
Whenever we should study, we must not procrastinate, we must enter the learning state immediately, and we must not change it due to physical discomfort or bad mood. Study arrangements. You cannot wait until your body is completely healed and your mood is adjusted before you start studying. If you don’t develop this habit, what will happen to you in the college entrance examination? Action is the best way to mediate your emotions. Devote yourself to learning and achieve a state of forgetting time, things, and self. All problems will be solved.
Secondly, you need to find a learning method that suits you. Someone asked if there is a way to memorize words without memorizing them. That is impossible. We just have to memorize a lot of knowledge seriously, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph. To be able to point out a certain subject, you can tell the key points from the first chapter to the last chapter. Some people call this learning method "death first, then live, and then death" learning method. This "death" means solid learning without any opportunism.
The story of Ding Zhaozhong’s invention of the repeater is very convincing. When Ding Zhaozhong was 49 years old, in order to meet the needs of diplomatic work, he determined to use one year to pass the English test. Once he visited the UK with my country's Ministry of National Defense. An official from the British Ministry of Defense bullied us for not knowing English and said some words that hurt the dignity of the Chinese people. Later, Ding Zhaozhong responded with authentic royal English. This shocked the British officials and never happened again. You dare to make a mistake by speaking out.
Ding Zhaozhong was able to learn English in one year, became a world-famous English pronunciator, and invented the repeater. According to people who know the inside story, he just listens to it sentence by sentence. If he doesn’t understand it once, he listens it a second time until he understands it and remembers it. If he really doesn’t understand it, he just puts it aside and makes a mark, and waits for his skill to improve. Going back to memory, he filled a filing cabinet with tapes he had listened to for a year.
There is another story.
During the college entrance examination in 1999, there was a 13-year-old kid who was the subject of much publicity in the media. He basically never entered the school gate and was admitted to a national key university. Because his father’s teaching views did not match the principal’s, he resigned angrily. At the same time, He brought the child home and conducted experiments on his own child. He asked the child to write down every example question including the process. This was done every day, which was very monotonous. His children only have two days off a year, one of which is New Year's Eve. One day his son was sharpening a knife in the kitchen. His mother asked him why he was sharpening the knife. He replied that he wanted to kill his father. From this student's case, we can see that many things must be remembered. Of course, it takes extraordinary hard work to memorize and master.
In our daily study, we have also discovered that the slowest method is the fastest method, and the stupidest method is often the best and most effective learning method.
Third, we must pay attention to cultivating our own imagination. There is a famous saying: "Without imagination, it is unimaginable." One is the imagination of learning identity. For example, when studying, you can imagine yourself as a scientific research expert. When sitting in the classroom, you should imagine that you are sitting in the Great Hall of the People giving an academic report to an audience of thousands of people or studying a special scientific research topic in a scientific research institute. .
There was a student who only scored 48 points on a math test (150-point paper). The teacher criticized him for 15 minutes, so he began to study mathematics hard. He imagined himself to be a mathematics master. , is a well-known mathematics expert. He is not studying courses, but studying mathematics topics. Whenever I open a mathematics textbook, I imagine myself as a gray-haired mathematics researcher and a mathematician. This is an identity imagination, you might as well give it a try, the effect is guaranteed to be different.
Furthermore, it is to develop imagination in specific subject learning. A candidate wrote in an examination essay "The Death of the Red Rabbit": After Guan Yu died in battle, the Red Rabbit's horse stayed behind and refused to leave. Finally, Chitu Ma said: "I think the most important thing for a war horse is to be honest." ?It can be seen that this candidate loves to watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Another student wrote in his essay: I have been underwater for 50 years. I am a water ghost. I have to drag another child into drowning before I can gain a new life. One day, when he was about to take action, his conscience suddenly struck him, so he changed the topic to integrity; it can be seen that this student loves to watch "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It can be seen from these two examples that learning requires being good at imagining. Don't make your thinking too narrow.
There is also a student who has very good grades in physics. When someone asks him for advice, he always smiles and refuses to answer. Once when he was playing football on the playground and he scored six goals in a row, someone asked him. He said that I imagined the stadium as a floor plan in my mind and found the six best fields for scoring goals, so I scored six goals in a row. ball. This is the use of imagination. It can be said that imagination has created batch after batch of top scorers in the college entrance examination and enabled batch after batch of students to take the college entrance examination to realize their life dreams.
IV. Feedback system of learning
The feedback system of learning means that every step forward in learning, there must be a summary, reflection, and feedback. You must learn to clearly judge your own learning status, including the learning status of the previous stage, this stage and subsequent stages. Judgment is prediction, execution is practice, and feedback is reflection and summary. Only in this way can we make progress one step at a time, in a down-to-earth manner, and improve step by step.
1. You must carefully understand the purpose of doing the questions. The current problem is that many students do not really understand the purpose of doing the questions. First, they only read the book but do not do the questions. They only listen to the lectures and do not want to do the questions. The other is to just do the questions without summarizing and reflecting upon them, without analyzing them, and just put them down if they make a mistake. The meaning of doing the questions itself is not to do the questions. There will be a lot of follow-up work after doing the questions. You should not let it go easily if you get it right or if you get it wrong. For many questions, you can think more about one question and solve more than one question, but there are many Questions can be solved multiple times, and attention must be paid to induction and synthesis. It is necessary to analyze whether the wrong question is because old knowledge has become an obstacle to doing the question, or it is caused by a broken knowledge chain, or there is a problem in the way of thinking. If you take a multiple-choice test, you will often not choose more, but only fewer, and your thinking is right-wing, so you must be wary of the right, and avoid the left, if you truly understand the purpose of the question.
Doing questions is to solve the problems that need to be deeply understood in terms of knowledge, which are weak links, and what errors there are in the way of thinking. If you do it right, think about whether there are better ideas and methods, whether you have solved the problems that you can apply, whether you have mastered all the knowledge points, and whether there are any problems with your thinking method.
2. Pay attention to exams and use them as an excellent opportunity to test your thinking methods. Don't be bored with exams, but get excited when exams come, thinking that it's time to test yourself. Only by passing the exam will you discover your weaknesses and existing problems. In normal times, you should treat the small test as the college entrance examination, and only during the college entrance examination, you should treat the college entrance examination as a small test. Only by passing small tests again and again can you adjust your mental state to the best state and adapt to the college entrance examination in the future. If conditions permit, you can also take a self-simulated exam yourself. Close the door, don’t disturb anyone, and conduct on-site timed and limited examinations. Some students refuse to take the exam or are tired and afraid of the exam. What about the college entrance examination? Can you refuse the college entrance examination? There was a candidate who had a high fever before the college entrance examination, but he did very well and was not affected at all. This was mainly due to his mentality. Therefore, cherish every exam.
3. Cherish the required lessons before going to bed every day. Summarize and reflect on the day's learning. You can conduct a more systematic review and recall of the key points of knowledge learned throughout the day, recalling the main gains and experiences. When you can't recall, you can take a peek at the book and connect the chain of thinking until you have a complete review. Many top scorers in the college entrance examination are like this. It can be said that heroes think alike. It is necessary to recall step by step like watching a movie. The short-circuited thinking in it must be a weak link. If it is repaired in time and strengthened, the weak knowledge will no longer be weak. Students must pay attention to this point.
In addition, periodic summary review is also indispensable. Knowledge should be paid great attention to from memorizing to forgetting, from input to output, from mastering to transferring. A student from Tsinghua University said that he makes a learning analysis report every month to summarize and reflect on the staged learning, draw lessons from it, identify deficiencies, and make study arrangements for the next stage.
5. Learning guarantee system
The learning guarantee system is to establish a system to ensure efficient improvement for the whole learning process. Each of our students must build a system and a condition suitable for themselves to ensure that their learning achieves the ideal and best results.
1. Psychological protection. Establishing a psychological security system mainly requires us to work hard to cultivate our own sound psychological quality to meet the needs of efficient learning. Psychological problems are not limited to middle school students. Many college students, including students from Tsinghua and Peking University, also have different psychological problems. Psychological problems plus study distress, problems on top of problems, the burden is so heavy!
Everyone knows that Tsinghua University is beautifully depicted in "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond", but right here, there is a A female Ph.D. from Tsinghua University committed suicide by throwing herself into a pond because she was under great psychological pressure because she failed to defend her doctoral thesis.
Some students are very troubled by insomnia before exams. In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, there is nothing terrible about insomnia, because people have great potential. There was a Tsinghua student who had insomnia for three days and two nights during the college entrance examination. He said that we must turn bad things into good things. Insomnia means that brain cells are active, which is a good thing. I was worried about it, so I simply sat down and did some book-guessing activities. It really worked, and I did very well in the exam. Admitted to Tsinghua University.
Some students are nervous and afraid of exams, which is unnecessary. There is nothing to be nervous about taking exams. If a student is not nervous at all during the exam, it means that he really has a problem. A moderate amount of nervousness is also a good thing. So no matter what problems you encounter, don’t take it too seriously and learn to turn bad things into good things.
The best way to solve psychological problems is to enhance self-confidence. People who are always confident in the learning process not only have infinite internal motivation to learn, but also have a good mentality and high learning efficiency. We must dare to challenge ourselves, dare to challenge the elites, dare to be the first, dare to fight for the first place, and dare to surpass those who are better than ourselves. Don't treat anything as invincible. There is no invincible myth in the world. Many miracles in the world are created from the impossible.
Outstanding people become outstanding people by doing things that ordinary people cannot do. Someone once suggested that you should be a little crazy in your studies, which makes sense.
You must learn to talk and dialogue with yourself. For example, when you do poorly on an exam, you might as well find a secluded place and engage in self-talk. Ask yourself: Do you feel bad? Yes. Do you want to cry? Just cry. What should you do? Can you give up? No, if you give up, you will ruin your life's future, and you will be sorry for your teachers, relatives, friends and parents. So what do you do? Push through, pick yourself up, and challenge the odds? Then you find the right niche. Through this kind of self-talk, you can slowly clarify your own problems and clarify your own strength. At this time, you will find that you are very real. You can also talk to you in the mirror about your troubles. After getting up every morning, face the mirror and shout three times? I can do it, I am the best!?. The mood will be very different.
Learn to communicate more with teachers, parents, and classmates. As the communication deepens, you will gain unexpected gains.
2. Environmental protection. The environmental protection mentioned here means that we must create an environment suitable for learning and improvement for ourselves, and not let some unexpected things interfere with your learning and mood. There was once a female classmate who was number one in the school. Because of a slight friction with her classmates, she impulsively jumped out of the window. Although her life was not in danger, she was still very depressed. As a result, she only got a second grade in the exam. Undergraduate, what a pity!
We have no fundamental conflict of interest with our teachers, classmates, and parents. Teachers and parents are very sincere and nag you repeatedly. Don’t be annoyed. Their purpose is not to let you pass the exam. Is it an ideal university? We require everyone to handle the relationship between themselves and their surroundings and create a safe, quiet, harmonious, and striving good learning environment, which is very important for our study. We must learn to be tolerant, learn to mediate and resolve conflicts, and never be too willful. Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others. To ensure that all your time and energy are devoted to learning. Therefore, we must learn to be tolerant when optimizing our learning environment.
Another point is that some students may develop puppy love problems. Falling in love among middle school students is a normal psychological phenomenon and can make people feel better, but it is very distracting. Therefore, we are still against falling in love among middle school students. Because, from the perspective of requirements, tasks, prospects, future, etc. It’s too early for middle school students to fall in love. Many accomplished scientists and graduate students are still in love in their thirties because they focus on their careers. Love among middle school students is like a glass of poisonous wine. It is up to you to decide whether to drink it or not. If we really realize that there are future problems, we might as well stop it in the bud. If left unchecked, not only will no one be able to get into the ideal university, but some will also lead to tragedies or bitter consequences, which will become lifelong regrets. If you want to talk about it, wait until you have completed your studies and have a house, a seat, a car, and money. , the conditions are good and you don’t have to hide here and there, that’s the quality.
In addition, some people think that it is embarrassing to ask others for advice. This is also wrong. You should not ask for advice as soon as you see a problem, but you should think about it before you understand it. There are so many teachers and classmates around us that we can ask. What a pity if we don’t take advantage of this condition!
The ancients said: When three people walk together, there must be one who is my teacher, and I will choose the good one. From this, those who are not good should be corrected? This is the attitude we should adopt. If your academic performance does not improve, why not ask the teacher for advice instead of willingly wasting the beneficial resource of learning from the teacher?
There is also the issue of the utilization of nutritional resources. It should also be noted that the brain needs to constantly To supply oxygen and energy, you must exercise more, arrange your diet, keep exercising, and maintain a diversified diet. You must not skip breakfast or eat highly nutritious things in order to lose weight.
3. Physical protection. The body is the capital for academic success. Without a good body, you cannot successfully complete the scheduled learning tasks. Therefore, Tsinghua University proposed to work for the health of the motherland for 50 years. No matter how busy you are, no matter how stressful your study tasks are, you still need to arrange half an hour to an hour of activity time every day, because if you are not physically strong, your brain will be deprived of oxygen, your learning will be damaged, and your ideals will be shattered, so you must pay attention to physical exercise.
to ensure that learning activities run properly.
In addition, you must learn to arrange your life regularly. Some students are "night owls" and like to drive late, which will inevitably lead to lack of energy during the day. The college entrance examination is scheduled to be held during the day, so you must pay attention to adjusting your biological clock. , if the biological clock is messed up, it will affect the learning effect, and if it is not done well, it may cause neurasthenia and other diseases. These are all things we should pay attention to.
Finally, I give you four sentences: Build up self-confidence, enhance self-discipline, seek from others rather than yourself, and development is the last word.
Methods to improve the academic performance of middle school students
Students spend the longest time in school, so they must seize the learning time in school. Ensure that during class, you can concentrate highly and grasp the key points of the teacher's lectures. For every student, it is impossible to listen, remember, and understand every minute of a class, so we must be prepared after class, usually after school, to review the knowledge that will be taught tomorrow. Preview, find out the knowledge points you need to master during the preview, and if you have any questions, wait until the lecture to focus on them
Before writing the day's homework, you must first review the teacher's knowledge points and what you have After solving the doubts, start writing homework. This can consolidate the knowledge of the day. Keep reviewing every day and leave no questions behind.
There are many homework subjects, so you must learn to focus on each subject. Have a learning method that suits you. You need to read more and memorize more about languages. In fact, you should remember the knowledge points firmly in every subject so that you can draw inferences when applying them. If you need to do more experiments, you should develop a hands-on and observational skills. Good habits. There are many knowledge points, and we need to classify them into categories, constantly summarize learning methods that suit us during study, and make timely adjustments. Improve self-study ability. You cannot blindly rely on social registration.
The learning tasks are heavy, and ensuring a strong body is the only pillar. Pay attention to regular physical exercise, and you also need to persist in exercising. The combination of mental work and physical work can moderately relax the tense brain nerves. The self-care ability of middle school students should not be reduced due to study and life. Middle school students should develop in an all-round way and complement each other, so that their academic performance can be improved and their overall quality can be improved.
When studying, you must be focused and not half-hearted. For teenagers who are in the developmental period, they must treat their own psychology correctly. They are not suitable for early love and immature minds. Parents and teachers need to work together to guide male and female students. Get along normally
Exchange experiences with other outstanding students. As long as you want to learn, it’s never too late to start. Build up your confidence. If others can learn well, I can too
Make good use of the Internet Tools, read some current news, play games moderately, expand your thinking, focus on checking information, do not be obsessed with games.
