From kindergarten to elementary school, middle school, and university, we have hundreds of teachers. I'm afraid there are not many people who are willing to give their best lectures. Maybe the Chinese education system decides that they put more energy into evaluation titles and papers. Don't think this is not the case in the United States-teachers are often limited in their effort to gain a tenure. Although "Mastering teaching skills" is a book about "how to give lectures", it provides an incisive analysis of "reasons for giving a good course.
There are at least two reasons for a good lesson: attracting the best students and striving to get more returns (more internal ).
As far as I know, many outstanding students are willing to take relevant fields because good teachers put their energy into teaching. After all, especially talented students are always scarce resources. If a course is exciting and full of academic imagination, the most talented students may be attracted to relevant learning. In contrast, most of the students who are tired of learning are having problems with the teacher's teaching methods (I won't say much about this. I believe you have a deep understanding ). There are no students who do not like to learn, and only teachers who do not know how to teach. From this perspective, the teachers should be punished each time in the classroom (most of the truth is true ).
Another important reason is that "one person's efforts to do a good job will get more returns than being satisfied with mediocrity ". Teaching can bring us a lot of satisfaction, which is very similar to learning-oriented student satisfaction. Attract students with full passion; inspire their intelligence; see them struggling with difficulties, and then get maturity; seeing their learning trends and wisdom become increasingly mature-all of these will bring us unparalleled satisfaction.
I believe that this sense of satisfaction has prompted the author to complete the book seriously. For example, when talking about how to ask students to answer questions (I learned to correctly handle this question recently, from this book ). First, ask the students who raise their hands to speak. Do not force them to bow their heads and not look at your answers to questions (the effect is not good, but it will only make people feel the teacher is arrogant). Then, the answer enthusiasm will be gradually stimulated, give slow-hot students a chance to answer questions. Be sure not to give one or two students the chance to answer questions, but also pay attention to their feelings (slowly walk away from them and come back to ask this person after several classes ). If you don't have enough teaching experience or a favorite teaching heart, you can't come up with such an office. There are many such examples in the book. People who wish to improve their teaching skills can read them carefully.
In short, if we have the opportunity to become teachers and stand on the podium, we must do our best. As Aristotle said: "Being outstanding is not an action, but a habit ."
