1. Cultivation of Xi habits of thinking.
Keep your back straight and wait quietly for the teacher. Calm down!”
In the classroom,Teachers have a lot of instructions to regulate students' behavior to cultivate good classroom behavior of listening carefully, but is the student's thinking standardized?
Behavior is visible, and it is easier to get feedback and follow up and correct in time if the behavior Xi is goodHow to cultivate "thinking Xi habits", which are more important than behavioral Xi habits?How to evaluate and summarize?It is a challenge to all teachers, and compared with the loss of thinking habits caused by many over-emphasis on behavioral Xi Xi, we sigh for it, how to control the balance between behavioral Xi habits and thinking Xi habits?Thinking is the focus of our research.
If thinking can be seen, teachers can correct feedback in time, students can learn from each other Xi and all efforts will be traceable, then everything will develop faster!Visual thinking tools provide us with an effective scaffold.
Second, the development of the level of thinking
For most children in the first grade, the level of thinking development is still in the stage of concrete thinking development, and the transmission of mathematical knowledge is more based on concrete physical operations, but the educational environment with more than 20 students, the arrangement system of each class time, and the emphasis on test scores will make the teaching mode of concrete operation more challenging!
At the same time, teachers must also take responsibility for enabling students to develop from concrete to abstract thinking. Visual thinking can reflect the state of mind in the transition stage from visual thinking to abstract thinking, which is an effective way to achieve transformation.
For example, the thinking of the "addition" process of the first grade mathematics volume of the People's Education Edition is advanced.
Students are given blank squares to demonstrate the process of thinking development in their own way, as follows:
3. The realization of the "integration" curriculum
Whether it is the "Opinions of the Communist Party of China on Deepening the Reform of Education and Teaching and Comprehensively Improving the Quality of Compulsory Education", or the "Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)", the importance of "integration" is proposed to teachers, integrating science and technology into teaching methods and methods, and integrating core literacy into curriculum standards. As a front-line teacher, we must think about how to practice "integrated" teaching!
From Cambridge, Montessori, IB and Singapore, it can be found that the content of the mathematics curriculum is similar, and the teaching method, learning Xi method, and evaluation method are the main differences
WhileThrough visual thinking tools, the content of other curriculum systems is changed and integrated into the national curriculum system, which does not affect the systematization of the national curriculum, and encourages students to continue to try in a novel way to achieve the real meaning of curriculum integration!
For example, when the first grade begins to Xi learn Arabic numerals, it is introduced from "counting", learning Xi writing, size, order, etc., but these are only the structure of the knowledge level, and the structure of other curriculum systems, especially the "concept" level that the IB focuses on, is missing, and the structure of the concept is the main way to cultivate core literacy, so before the formal teaching of the national curriculum, a "structure lesson" is introduced and used5w**Together with the students, the origin and development of Arabic numerals plays a very important role in the establishment of the concept of "symbols" for children. useMind maps, travel mapsand other visual thinking tools continue to sort out and summarize structured knowledge, increase students' perception and cognition of the mathematical system, and cultivate the ability to transfer learning Xi and actively think.
**In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the chairman proposed: adhere to integrity and innovation. With the national curriculum as the main axis, other curriculum elements are integrated to make the curriculum integration adhere to integrity and innovation
4. Visual thinking tools are a tool
Effectively help and serve teaching
Visual thinking tools are not an education system, but a tool that can be applied to all aspects of education and teaching.
In the classroom, use:"I share, I choose".Active class, after a student answers the question, name the next student to answer the question, in this process, each student may be clicked, so everyone needs to concentrate and listen carefully, sometimes there is no lack of joy of two students repeatedly calling each other's names, bringing different effects to the class.
use"Clock Buddies".Group cooperation not only helps each other to remind each other of the progress of the task, but also can be each other's "little teachers", and teamwork is even more enjoyable!
When "thinking" can be seen like "behavior", students will definitely be able to make "thinking" as good as "behavior"!
Then push open the "window" of visual thinking tools and discover the infinite possibilities of education!
