In the process of education, many parents and teachers are deeply troubled by the phenomenon of children "not going to school". In the face of this problem, we need to take a positive approach to solve it, fully mobilize children's enthusiasm for learning, and guide them to love learning from the bottom of their hearts. The following is a series of unique and practical recommendations on how to effectively address this challenge.
1.Tap into interest and make connections.
Practical example: The famous American physicist Richard Feynman once said, "You have to be curious about the world." "When a child shows a lack of interest in learning, parents and teachers can try to combine the learning content with the child's personal interests. For example, if children like animation, they can explain scientific principles through popular science animation, so that children can feel the joy of learning in entertainment.
2.Set goals and give incentives.
To quote the famous saying: "There is no direction without a goal, and there is no life without a direction." (Leo Tolstoy).
Parents should work with their children to set clear learning goals and develop a reasonable reward system, such as satisfying a reasonable desire after completing a certain stage of learning tasks, so as to stimulate their internal motivation.
3.Foster autonomy and respect for choice.
The famous educator John Dewey emphasized: "Education is growth". Parents should gradually let go, encourage their children to manage their own time and plan their learning progress, so that they can experience the sense of accomplishment brought by self-growth in practice. At the same time, they are allowed to freely choose what they learn within a certain range to improve their initiative and consciousness in learning.
4.Optimize the environment and create an atmosphere.
The learning environment has an important impact on a child's attitude towards learning. Parents need to create a quiet, comfortable, bookish home learning space for their children with as few distractions as possible. At the same time, family members themselves should set a good example of reading and learning, and form a positive family learning atmosphere.
5.Interactive communication and emotional support.
Parents should communicate openly with their children to understand their views and feelings about learning, and help them resolve confusion and stress. As the educator Maria Montessori said, "We can't make people, we can only help them develop." "Through understanding and caring, children can enhance their self-confidence and sense of belonging.
6.Adjust the method and teach students according to their aptitude.
Each child has a unique learning style and abilities, which requires parents and teachers to flexibly adapt teaching methods to the child's characteristics. For example, for visual learners, knowledge can be imparted through diagrams, presentations, etc.; For children with strong hands-on skills, hands-on opportunities are provided so that they can gain knowledge through hands-on experience.
To sum up, in the face of the dilemma of children "going to school but not learning", we should start from multiple dimensions such as stimulating interest, setting goals, cultivating autonomy, optimizing the environment, strengthening communication and teaching students according to their aptitude, so as to fully mobilize children's enthusiasm and guide them to discover the meaning of learning, so as to solve this problem, so that children can truly enjoy the process of learning and achieve all-round development.
