Since the research experiment on how to improve the effectiveness of group cooperative learning was carried out in our school, all classes in the school actively participated in it and put the research topic into classroom teaching. We divide the class into several study groups, so that students can study independently, freely and happily in cooperation, fully implement students' dominant position and complement each other's advantages, and achieve the goal of independent development and improvement.
The survey results show that the research has achieved initial results. Students have a strong interest in learning, their desire to participate in learning is improved, the efficiency of cooperative learning is improved, the initiative of consciously completing homework is improved, their self-confidence is enhanced, their learning ability is improved, and the teaching and research level of teachers is improved. Our experiment on this subject is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, we understand the shortcomings of cooperative learning. Form a preliminary experimental report on "Research on Implementing Effective Cooperative Learning to Promote Students' Active Development". The second stage is to implement effective cooperative learning; We held a series of seminars.
Now we enter the third stage, implement effective cooperative learning and promote students to actively carry out research. The results are presented in the form of experimental reports and papers.
First of all, our specific approach:
1, optimize cooperative learning group
(1), form a cooperative group. Establishing cooperative learning group is the premise and foundation of cooperative learning. The grouping principle of cooperative learning is that each group reaches a similar level. When forming a cooperative learning group, we should first respect the students' own wishes, with 4-6 people as a group, and match them according to gender, good academic performance, average and poor, so that students can combine freely first. On this basis, combined with students' interests, hobbies, personality, ability and other factors, a class is rationally allocated to form a number of optimized cooperative learning groups with the same group, different groups and homogeneity. Because I respect students' willingness to combine, I feel relaxed, free and harmonious in cooperative learning. It can blend students' emotions and give full play to the advantages of interpersonal resources.
(2), the implementation of grouping naming method. Because there are many groups, it is not convenient to call and distinguish, so we realize the method of group naming. Ask each group member to give their group a personalized group name. The following is a summary of the names and slogans of personalized groups in each grade, such as: "Sunshine Group" in Class 3 (2) with the slogan "Sunshine Youth, Sunshine Up"; The slogan of Fengyun Group is "Let's chase the dream of the cloud like the wind"; The slogan of the "dream-chasing group" in Class 5 (2) is "The dream is in the distance, the direction of the heart, the dream-chasing teenager, flying with passion" ... Look, what an inspiring group name and slogan! Others include Cao Chun Group, Rainbow Group, Paoma Group, Struggle Group and Innovation Group ... Each class group gives full play to its collective wisdom and gives its group a loud, meaningful and enlightening name. Because each name is the goal of the group, it has a strong incentive effect on their learning. At the same time, the name of each group is also an honor and pride for them, and each of them will unite and forge ahead and strive to defend this honor and pride.
2. Cultivate cooperative learning team leader.
Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator in China, once pointed out: "The best teacher for children is not me or you, but the most progressive child in the children's team!" Only the most progressive children can generate prestige among students and lead and help other students to make progress together. Therefore, in the experiment of guiding cooperative learning, we attach importance to the selection and training of group leaders.
The selection of the group leader should fully consider his academic performance, classmates' relationship, organizational ability and whether he can set an example. Democratic elections are carried out during the selection, and each team member is elected according to the matching conditions of the team leader. Because of the democratic election, the group leader can gain the full trust of the group members, enhance the cohesion of the group and help the group to carry out cooperative learning.
In group cooperative learning, the role of group leader is very important. Because there are many groups, teachers can't fully implement and understand some specific situations in the group. In order to understand and evaluate each student's study and performance timely, concretely and accurately, it is very necessary for the group leader to support him. In order to give full play to the role of the team leader, we first formulated the responsibilities of the team leader. Let the group leader know that he should not only actively participate in cooperation, communication and discussion, but also help teachers to carry out group tasks, arouse the learning enthusiasm of team members, and at the same time, often organize inter-group competitions. Then, boldly delegate power and expand the power of the team leader. For example, in addition to distributing materials, leading the activities of the group members, assigning tasks to the group members, synthesizing everyone's opinions and contacting teachers or other groups on behalf of the group members, the group leader also has the right to evaluate the group members. Have the right to add red flags to team members, reward scores, write comments, etc. In this way, the team leader's power has been expanded, his work enthusiasm has been higher, and he can consciously do his work better. At the same time, we also organize the selection of "advanced learning groups" once a week and "excellent group leaders" once a month to stimulate the enthusiasm of group leaders and competitive learning among groups. Finally, hold regular meetings of group leaders to feed back the management of the group in time, so that the group leaders can exchange experiences with each other, learn from each other's strong points and improve their working ability and level.
