How to be a popular geography teacher in Yixing Dingshu Vocational High School Liu Xin Abstract In this changing era, students' favorite teachers are also changing, and students' requirements for geography teachers are getting higher and higher. In order to make students like geography class, we must first make students like our geography teacher. And geography teachers who are friendly, good at communication, knowledgeable, optimistic and happy, and do not lose their temper are more popular. Key words are good at communication, the knowledge age is changing, teaching materials and curriculum standards are changing, and students are also changing. In such a changing era, what kind of geography teacher do students like? At the beginning of the semester, I made a survey, which was summarized as follows: 1. A friendly and communicative geography teacher. In the questionnaire, I specially listed the age column, 25-30 years old, 30-45 years old and over 45 years old. In the process of tabulation, I think many students will definitely choose the age of 30~45. Because teachers of this age are in their prime, they have strong advantages in teaching experience, classroom passion, teaching methods and means, and communication with students. The result was a bit unexpected. There are quite a few students in the 25-30 age group who like teachers, which is comparable to that in the 30-45 age group. Young teachers who just graduated don't seem to be very experienced, but they also have their advantages, that is, they are easy to get close to students and good at communication. This is precisely the primary criterion for modern middle school students to evaluate teachers. Many students like practice teachers, which is the reason. The new curriculum standard puts forward: "Students are developing people, unique people and people with independent significance. Teachers should be helpers and promoters of students' learning and leaders among equals. "Therefore, teachers should treat students as friends, approach students actively, understand students and cultivate friendly feelings between teachers and students. In this way, the teacher's concept of students has also changed. This is especially true in class. In a pleasant and harmonious classroom atmosphere, teachers can adopt an open teaching method, and students dare to ask questions, answer, associate, innovate and say "I'll try". This will not only enable students to "learn from others and believe in their ways", but also lead to the phenomenon that "shine on you is better than Blue". Especially our geography teacher, because of the special position of geography, neither parents nor schools pay much attention to it, which leads many students to regard geography as a minor subject. Even if the second year of high school needs an academic proficiency test now, many students just regard her as an exam and think it is difficult, so just pass it. So geography is not valued. If at this time, the geography teacher is orderly, indifferent or even indifferent to the students, then it is natural that the classroom is left out by the students. In short, geography teachers should communicate with students more in life and class, give students more room to "speak" and make them feel respected. Nowadays, students have strong self-esteem and need to be respected. It is worth mentioning that to grasp the "degree", to pursue equality between teachers and students too much and to be too enthusiastic may make teachers lose their prestige, especially young teachers, so that the classroom order will be difficult to control and may be counterproductive. Second, knowledgeable geography teachers-friendly teachers are the first choice for students, but this is like classroom introduction. To really attract high school students like a magnet for a long time, you need profound knowledge and high-level geographical literacy. Judging from this survey, this is also the second criterion for high school students to evaluate geography teachers. They like the geography teacher's encyclopedia. First of all, with the implementation of the new curriculum, the integration of subject knowledge has been greatly strengthened, and geography has unique conditions in the development direction of subject integration, which requires teachers to form extensive knowledge centered on geographical knowledge. When it comes to historical knowledge, extend it appropriately and slightly when encountering physical problems, students will look at you with new eyes and teachers' personality charm will be improved invisibly. At the same time, now our requirements for students are getting higher and higher. From the beginning of primary school, we require all-round study and the improvement of comprehensive quality. If modern geography teachers can't "know astronomy above and geography below", then why should we ask students? Learning from high school is a teacher. Only by constantly improving their professional quality and cultural accomplishment can students admire and like themselves. Secondly, if there is no high-level geographical literacy and profound knowledge to enrich the classroom, some classrooms will appear empty and boring. For example, the section "Regional Development Stages and Human Activities" in Compulsory 3 of Shandong Education Publishing House has fewer words and more terms, especially the first two stages. In the second stage, there is a saying that "cities and industrial areas are expanding rapidly, the industrial structure and spatial structure in the region are becoming more and more complex, showing a point-to-point development trend, and industries are moving from agglomeration to diffusion", which is difficult to understand from the cognitive level of senior two students. At this point, geography teachers must explain professional terms and give some appropriate examples, otherwise, students will feel vague and boring. If similar situations happen more often, students will doubt the teaching ability of teachers, and even the image of friendly geography teachers in students' minds will be greatly reduced. Third, optimistic and happy geography teachers From the survey results, 75% of students don't like introverted or even pessimistic teachers. Some people may think that a teacher's personality has nothing to do with teaching. In fact, teachers' words and deeds will exert a subtle influence on students. A teacher's words, or an ordinary thing, determine the career that students strive for all their lives and make outstanding contributions. There are countless examples like this. Some people say that people who can bring laughter to others have an ability called infection, and people who like to bring pain to others also have an ability called infection. And each of us likes to be with people who can bring happiness to others. This is especially true for students. Nowadays, due to the pressure of further education and employment, and even the negative impact of some unhealthy phenomena in society, some students are a little pessimistic about their achievements or society. Coupled with the heavy pressure of "endless learning" or "mathematics and physics" all day, they need a space to release. Then let our geography class make them happy. Only when our geography teacher is happy can we have a passionate language to teach students in class, an optimistic attitude to influence students and an "appreciation" view of students. Over time, students will not only feel relaxed in geography class, but also gradually like our geography teacher and geography class, and the classroom effect will definitely be greatly improved. In fact, our teachers themselves can feel happy from this process, so why not? Fourth, the geography teacher who doesn't lose his temper "Don't be angry, being angry shows that you are incompetent." This is what an old headmaster said to a Protestant teacher. In this survey, I also found that 80% students don't like teachers who are too strict, they like teachers who are strict and gentle, 95% students don't like teachers who are severely criticized for their mistakes, and no students like teachers who get angry easily and even hit their students with chalk heads. In the minds of students, the importance of geography class is far less than "beyond words". In the students' subconscious, you can relax a little. With this kind of thinking, some students may read other books, or do some little tricks, and even some students seem to be listening but don't listen, staring at the blackboard in a daze. At this time, if the geography teacher preaches to the students under the slogan of "a strict teacher makes a noble apprentice" or "a dutiful son under the stick", and even scolds some ugly words, the effect will certainly be bad. I once met a class with poor consciousness, but I lacked patience. Basically, every class will be furious because of what some students call "cheating in class" and shout "Be strict with you". As a result, students are more dissatisfied with me, and I complain every time I leave the classroom. When the teacher evaluates, the students' satisfaction rate with me is very low, and the exam results are also very unsatisfactory. Later, I reflected on myself and found that although my motivation was good, in the eyes of students, my temper was very bad, and I was furious for a little thing, which even made students feel that I was using power to suppress myself and force myself to study. Now students' rebellious psychology is extremely strong, and the more so, the worse the classroom effect. So I think if I meet students who don't listen to geography class again, I can give them some eye contact or language hints. If not, give them some gentle guidance. Don't ruin the atmosphere of the whole class because of this, so the whole class will hate you, even hate you. A netizen student put it this way: "Teachers' criticism of students, if appropriate, is an incentive, if inappropriate, will become a kind of harm." In addition, geography classes often encounter some simple knowledge and common sense problems. I once inadvertently mentioned "What sea is east of Lianyungang?" The result surprised me, and most of my classmates didn't know it. "As a Lianyungang person, I don't even know this!" I just got to my mouth and swallowed it, because I don't advocate cracking down on students now, and I can't lose my temper over such a trivial matter. In fact, it is normal for students not to answer questions in class, even before class. Often the more you lose your temper, the more disgusted students are. Now we advocate appreciation education. "Desire for appreciation is the loveliest weakness of human nature." An excellent teacher also said that we should learn to discover the advantages of students with lanterns and observe their "bright spots" with a microscope. Although students don't know what sea is east of Lianyungang, they know there are Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea, but they don't know the correct order. Although I can't completely answer the questions about last class, I can say something after being reminded, which is always better than last class. Sue Holinsky said: "Sometimes the moral shock brought by tolerance is stronger than punishment." Therefore, as a teacher, teachers should not only learn to control their emotions, but also tolerate students' mistakes and faults, understand students with a broad mind and influence students with our sincerity. In a word, the reference standard of excellent geography teachers in students' minds is firstly the attitude towards students, and secondly the geography teaching ability. Students like geography classes because they like geography teachers, or they may hate geography teachers and study geography. A teacher who is liked by students always surpasses the average teacher in educational effect. In fact, it is not difficult to be a geography teacher that students like. The key lies in how teachers treat themselves, how to change themselves, how to adapt to students, and at the same time let students adapt to you. "A good teacher can be both infectious and intelligent." This is a message from a netizen student. Becoming a geography teacher that students like is my goal, and I will work hard!
