How to increase student engagement in physics classes

The teaching process is a two-way process of teaching and learning. In order to improve the efficiency of our classroom teaching, we should not only pay attention to the process of teachers' teaching, but also pay attention to the process of students' active participation in learning in the teaching process. Because students are the main body of learning and the center of teaching.

In other words, student engagement in the classroom has a direct impact on the effectiveness of a lesson. How to effectively improve students' participation in the classroom, we can start from the following aspects.

1. Teachers should change their concepts, return the classroom to students, and give students more opportunities to actively participate.

1. Completely change our teaching model and return the classroom to students. Perceptions determine our actions. Teachers should completely get rid of the traditional teacher's one-word teaching"Cramming"The teaching model creates a learning situation for students, provides information, guides students' positive thinking, improves students' awareness of participation, and improves students' participation in the classroom.

Let students really participate in teaching and become the subject of learning. In addition, in terms of student engagement, we need to pay attention to both the number of students who actively participate in the classroom and the degree to which students participate in the class. It is necessary to involve as many students in the class as possible in the whole process of teaching, not just in the form of performance, but in real participation.

2. Give students more opportunities to take the initiative to participate. In the process of classroom teaching, teachers should not only pay attention to the conclusion of teaching, but also pay attention to the learning of the thinking process of acquiring knowledge, and pay more attention to the dynamic learning process in which students provide active participation, so that students can use their hands, brains, and mouths to solve problems and acquire knowledge through their own active thinking.

First of all, students should be given more opportunities to get hands-on. In teaching, teachers should be bold and bold enough to let students explore new knowledge in practice. Students gain the most basic knowledge through hands-on activities, and at the same time, their thinking is effectively developed.

Second, give students more opportunities to use their brains. In teaching, operation is the appearance, and thinking is the inside. Guide students to find problems and summarize patterns.

Thinking makes students' understanding rise from the perceptual to rational during operation, so it is an important purpose of teaching to guide students to use their brains and carry out active thinking activities. In addition, give students more opportunities to speak. For example, we teach English.

As a language subject, we should create situations for students to speak more and speak more. In this kind of language training, students can establish a cognitive system of language and master the ability to use language in speaking. Finally, we should encourage students to do challenging things, such as participating in subject competitions, submitting articles to newspapers and magazines, doing extracurricular research, etc., and help them in their endeavors.

It makes it confident in its successes again and again, and is eager to continue to participate.

To increase the participation rate of students in rural schools in learning mathematics, it is necessary to increase their interest in learning mathematics, which refers to people's special tendency to understand things. Confucius said: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy."

It can be seen that "interest is the best teacher", and cultivating interest is an important factor in learning success. In the face of new teaching materials, how can we stimulate students' interest in learning? After continuous exploration and practice, I believe that we should start from the following aspects.

1. The introduction of new courses has novel content and diverse methods, which arouses students' interest in learning.

In the introduction of the classroom, various forms and means are designed to mobilize students and stimulate their sense of active participation. For example, when teaching "tangrams", at the beginning, use the tangram prepared in advance to spell out some beautiful patterns, and ask: What are the basic graphics of these patterns?

In this way, through simple performances, the questions are set in appropriate situations, so as to create a lively and interesting learning environment, and students are full of interest and will naturally actively participate in learning.

2. Clarify the purpose of teaching and make students interested in learning.

After the teacher uses various methods to introduce the new lesson, the next step is to clarify the learning objectives, so that students can understand the learning content of this lesson, and know the status and role of this content in the knowledge system and real-life application, so as to attract attention, produce psychological needs, trigger learning aspirations, and thus generate a strong interest in learning.

3. Create teaching scenarios to arouse students' interest in learning.

In the learning process, by creating a life situation, students have a kind of eagerness to understand knowledge, so as to induce students' interest in learning. For example, when learning the corners of "Exploring the Conditions of Triangle Congruence", as shown in the picture, Xiao Ming accidentally broke the triangle mold into three pieces, can he only bring one of the pieces to the store and match a triangle mold that is the same as the original? If so, which piece should you take with you? Why.

Teacher Jiang Yongjie believes that it is necessary to stand up and say hello when going to class and after class, because this is not just a formality, which can be explained from a psychological point of view

1) Greeting to class prompts the cessation of irrelevant activities and the start of project teaching activities; (2) Greeting reflects respect for students, and only when students are respected can further communication and exchange be possible; (3) The overall learning state of the students can be observed from the tone and intonation of greetings, which is a hint of positive language. Of course, the teacher himself should say hello loudly and energetically to drive the enthusiasm of the students.

There are several ways to increase student engagement in class:

1) Positive expectations for students (Pygmalion effect), so that students can experience the equality of teachers and students, is the beginning of stimulating students' enthusiasm for participation;

2) The conciseness of classroom teaching content is the foundation to improve students' enthusiasm for classroom participation, such as storytelling and situationalization of teaching content;

3) Positive language cues are a magic weapon to maintain a high level of student participation, for example, in order to deal with the situation that students do not listen to the lecture in class, in addition to stopping teaching activities, reducing the sound of lectures, giving examples, etc., teachers can use "teachers who have attended our class feel that the students in our class are serious......"Positive language suggests to the student;

4) Improve your own personality charm;

5) Establish classroom rules;

6) Integrate learning problems (e.g., not using mobile phones in class, being late for class) into the teaching content, e.g. as English writing topics;

7) Strict discipline of students in class;

8) Care about the all-round development of students (such as students can ask for leave and not go to class, but the teacher should know what the reason is and the student is in).

I have read a sentence before: "Students who fall asleep when they listen to a teacher's lecture are not students who love to learn, and the teacher's lecture is for those who want to learn". I think the person who said this may be teaching in a good school, and the students are very self-conscious, and they know what their purpose is, and they are willing to put in a lot of effort to achieve it. Usually, the first class rate of such schools is basically more than 90 percent, and most of them are admitted to national key universities.

We laugh at the teachers in such schools as "lying to win teachers".

But this kind of thinking is not applicable to most high schools, because most of the students are very poor, they can't help but want to sleep, or wander, so how to get more students involved in the class?

The first is the classroom explanation, put an end to the "one word hall", let the students ask more questions, you can also let the students themselves be the questioners, set the questions, when lecturing, the key knowledge can be named after the explanation for the students to repeat or let the students say it in their own words, so as to force the students to follow the teacher's rhythm as much as possible.

The second is the classwork, try to use the combination of lectures and exercises, talk about a knowledge point, supplemented by the necessary exercises, not only can let students from the state of listening to the understanding of the class to the state of using knowledge to solve problems, relieve the fatigue of students, but also test the students' mastery of knowledge, so as to consolidate their understanding of knowledge. The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve mentions that forgetting is fastest in the first few hours of learning something new, so we try to have students reinforce the practice in class.

Finally, make eye contact with the students and find out if the students have doubts and understand them. Go around more often while students are practicing, and learn about the process of students doing problems.

In a lesson, try to make students "move their eyes, move their mouths, move their hands, move their hearts, and act".

Ways to Increase Student Engagement in the Classroom:1. Hold a meeting for the students above the middle level in the class, let them realize the importance of positive issues, participate in every aspect of the class, keep up with the progress of the class in the process of the teacher's explanation, and give the questions raised by the teacher in a timely manner, so that they can have a more comprehensive understanding of the knowledge they have learned and have a deeper grasp of the knowledge.

2. In the process of classroom teaching, let students write, think and speak, so that they can take the initiative to think, solve problems and acquire knowledge. This is far more efficient than traditional "cramming" teaching. Therefore, in the process of teaching, we should boldly let go and give students more opportunities to use their brains to think, so that students' understanding can reach a certain height.

Third, it is not excluded that there are a small number of students with poor foundation, afraid of making mistakes, lazy mouth, etc., and a vicious circle will be formed over time. This requires our teachers to pay more attention in class and tutoring after class, give them confidence and encouragement, and make them like the teacher first, and then like the class.

There are several ways to increase student engagement in class:1) Positive expectations for students (Pygmalion effect), so that students can experience the equality of teachers and students, is the beginning of stimulating students' enthusiasm for participation; 2) The condensation of classroom teaching content is the foundation to improve students' enthusiasm for classroom participation

3) Positive language cues are a magic weapon to maintain a high level of student participation, for example, in order to deal with the situation that students do not listen to the lecture, in addition to stopping teaching activities, reducing the sound of lectures, giving examples, etc., teachers can use "teachers who have taken our classes feel that the students in our class are serious......"Positive language suggests to the student; 4) Improve your own personality charm; 5) Establish classroom rules;
