How to make the classroom quiet

The classroom is a place for students to learn. Students are the main body of learning and the masters of learning. As a teacher, the most annoying thing is that the classroom cannot be quiet, so what?

1. Prompt props

Draw a face, with the corners of the mouth downward to express anger, hide it. When the class was chaotic, the teacher was silent for a while, then suddenly raised the face prop and made a *** *** gesture. Or imitating the "quiet" sign someone held in front of officials when they were traveling in ancient times, which is also dramatic.

2. Silence and gaze

If the teacher cannot calm down after class, the teacher may not speak and just scan the class with his eyes. If the student speaks the loudest, focus on him. body, staring at him until he calms down. You can also use this method when talking occurs in the middle of class, and sometimes the effect is better than criticizing. Silence is better than sound at this time. This method is more effective for individual students speaking, speaking in a small area, and students with strong self-control ability.

3. Asking students to quiet down

Asking students to quiet down can be done in two ways: imperative and requesting. Generally, teachers are accustomed to using the imperative, but sometimes you can also consider using the requesting. method. Say politely to the students: "I'm sorry, I'm talking now. If you have anything to say, please wait until I finish speaking, okay?" This method may be effective for older students and classes with higher quality. Some classes can only become quiet under the high pressure of teachers. For such classes, occasionally using this method may have miraculous effects. Some classes have a very loyal attitude, "If the teacher thinks highly of us, we can't cause trouble for him." For this kind of class, sometimes being polite will work better.

4. Lower your voice

When the teacher is giving a lecture, if there is a buzzing sound below, he will unknowingly raise his voice and amplify the volume to overcome the noise. The effect is often the opposite, because your attempt to overpower the students' voices is objectively equivalent to covering up or even presetting their speaking voices, so the teacher has no choice but to keep raising his voice, and the result is a loudspeaker competition between teachers and students. No matter how powerful a teacher's "solo" is, it can't be as powerful as the "chorus" of a large number of students. Therefore, the teacher is very tired, sometimes even to the point of hoarseness, and the classroom is getting more and more chaotic, and the "taking advantage of the situation" is getting worse. Come more and more. Teachers may wish to do some "reverse thinking" at this time. When a student speaks, the teacher can lower his voice and lengthen the tone, like reciting poetry. This has more than one benefit. First of all, the change of the teacher's tone has a vigilant effect on the whole class of students; secondly, when the teacher lowers his voice, the voices of those students are highlighted, and the students are afraid of being discovered by the teacher, so they may shut up; thirdly, those who want to listen are better Students, afraid of missing what the teacher said, may also dissuade the classmates who are talking next to them.

5. Make gestures

There are many gestures that can be used to remind or stop students from talking in class. The biggest advantage of this method is that the teacher does not have to speak and can solve the problem in silence, which lessens the attention of the students and avoids making the matter a big deal. For example, you can place your index finger on your lips, or make a "pause" motion on the basketball court with your hands to express silence. Of course, you can also point your finger at the classmate who is talking. The disadvantage of this method is that it easily distracts the students' attention. If you point at someone, the students may look in that direction. Clapping your hands is another option. If the relationship between teachers and students is relatively good, especially in primary schools, teachers and students can agree on some sign language in advance, like secret codes, I will do what you do, and this can gamify the behavior of maintaining classroom discipline to a certain extent. Very good idea.

6. Digressions

If you find students whispering to each other in class, or their attention is gradually distracted, and their eyesight dims, the teacher can pause the lecture and say something off-topic, something that interests the students, or a joke. etc., plays a refreshing role. Smart teachers always prepare some humorous stories in advance as a spice for classroom teaching. Only those rigid teachers will continue to talk because they are afraid of losing a minute or two, which results in lowering the quality of the entire class.

7. Countdown

The teacher can raise his voice and announce: "Now I will count down and see if I can calm down when I count to '0'. 10...9... …8…” This approach sometimes works.

8. Evaluation

The teacher said: "Let me see which group is the quietest. Okay, the second group has no one to talk, the fourth group has no more, and the third group There are still two people talking, okay, only the first group is left. Okay! This is like a classroom. The second group should get a gold medal!”

9. Prompt sound

For example , you can prepare a bell and place it on the podium. Once the student's speech becomes serious, you can pick it up and shake it. You can also use a whistle, or you can use a ringtone like a mobile phone, or play specific music. It is best to agree on these methods with students in advance, and be careful not to make the sound too loud, so as not to affect the neighboring classes.

10. Prompt slogan

Teachers can make a placard in advance and hide it under the podium table, and take it out when the classroom is chaotic. It says "Please! Shut up!", "I'm very depressed, please stop talking!", "Will you let me live?" etc. Don't let the students know about this method in advance. Only when it is dramatic can it have impact. A little bit of joking is better.

11. Don’t speak and write what you want the students to do on the blackboard.

It’s a headache for many teachers when students can’t calm down during class. Some teachers have no choice but to yell and bang on the table, which is really not a good idea. You can try this. For example, you can write on the blackboard or show the small blackboard: "Read the second paragraph on page 35 silently. Think about the following questions..." Then the teacher will move between the lines to observe whether the students are reading. Wait until the students have completed the task and the class has quieted down before the teacher lectures again.

If something happens in school and students are talking a lot and it is difficult to calm down, you can also use this method. As soon as the students entered the classroom and saw the notice on the blackboard, they knew what they should do next, and they naturally calmed down. This is a way for teachers to seek peace and quiet while waiting for work. Teachers are in a position of supervision and inspection and are relatively calm.

12. Do special actions

If the voice becomes louder and louder and the situation becomes uncontrollable, the teacher can also suddenly do some strange and unexpected actions to surprise the students. , it will quiet down. At this time, the teacher can say something to maintain order and then lecture.

13. Leaving the podium

This is also a special action. The teacher makes an angry gesture, leaves the podium, and walks toward the door of the classroom or toward the back of the classroom. The students don't know what's going on, so they will calm down and take a look.

14. The group shouts in unison

Arrange a group or several students seated close to the teacher to shout in unison at the same time: "Please be quiet! Please be quiet!" This can make the whole class Be quiet.

15. Yelling

When you have no choice, knocking on the table and yelling is not an option. However, it should be noted that this method cannot be used frequently. The more pleasant the teacher is, the more effective this method will be. One of my students once said to me: "You have been teaching us for two years, and I have only seen you lose your temper once." I asked: "How did you lose your temper?" The student replied: "You slammed the table and shouted 'bastard'! "It can be seen that this method has a certain "picture impact".

16. Threatening***

When you really can’t control the situation, you can threaten "I won’t be in class, I’m leaving!" This trick cannot be used easily, because if the students don’t buy it, , you can only stop this class.
