Children always don't know how to pretend to know? A really good teacher disappears when he goes to school.

As teachers, what we try our best to do every day is to make students learn from each other instead of being isolated teaching objects. If students don't learn from each other, no matter how good their ideas are, they won't want to share them with their deskmates or good friends. They just want to raise their hands and tell the teacher, and the teacher will only be exhausted. However, it is we who have shaped this culture and made children mistakenly think that his ideas have to be approved by teachers before they can exist.

1. Why are all children in Taiwan Province not good at listening, and why are Japanese children so good at listening?

So, what is listening and speaking under the condition of "learning * * *"?

When I visited a Japanese classroom for the first time, I had a hard time listening, because the students spoke very quietly and the teacher spoke very quietly. Students don't raise their hands when they speak. After the first one finishes, the second student will take over the topic and respond to the previous child's point of view. The topic keeps turning, it's a real conversation. I was so shocked that I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the students' speech status in my own class:

■ First, he had to raise his hand.

■ Second, he must ask for my permission and name.

thirdly, he must stand up.

but these are not the most important things. Most importantly, we asked a rude question at that time: Why are children in Taiwan Province not good at listening, and why are Japanese children so good at listening?

Manabu Sato, a Japanese teacher who accompanied us, replied: If every teacher demonstrates how to listen to students in class every day, teachers will listen to the smallest voice and listen patiently and fairly if they speak intermittently, so that our children will watch how to listen every day, and after a long time, he will listen.

What he means is that the teacher himself is not a good demonstrator, but he still blames the children for not listening. Yes, children are taught by us, and the last person who is qualified to criticize children's incompetence is teachers, because their shortcomings are the space for our professional growth.

Second, a good classroom will disappear if you go to the teacher ...

What do you mean by listening? Teacher Manabu Sato said: Listening is to establish a learning relationship.

We ask: How can poor students be taught? Teacher Manabu Sato replied: Then listen to where he will go.

in Japan, I once listened to a math class in grade three: two digits multiplied by one digit. Let's start with two questions: the first question is 71×8, and the second question is 56×8. Please work out the answer vertically. At first, the Japanese teacher completely let the students do the calculations themselves, and most of the students made mistakes. Only about six to eight people in a class did the calculations correctly.

This is what Mr. Manabu Sato has always emphasized: the classroom should have 3% time to challenge learning, that is, not to teach simple content, to give students some space to stretch and jump.

in the middle of the class, a little girl suddenly stood up and said, may I speak?

Everyone answered her: Yes, please go ahead.

She said: I used the usual algorithm, but something went wrong in the middle.

The classmate asked her: What's wrong with you?

She went to the stage and showed it to the class. She stopped to check with the class at each step: 6×8 is 48, right?

At this time, the teacher disappeared, and other students would respond to her: Yes!

You see, when teachers don't play a leading role strongly, students can fully learn from each other, talk about topics and solve problems with each other. The stronger the teacher is, the less the student will fulfill his duty of learning.

The little girl went on to say: 6×8=48, so I wrote 8 in the unit, but I don't know where to write the remaining 4. So many students in the class happily echoed and said, neither will I, nor will I!

this is a reassuring classroom, and what about our classroom? Children spend a lot of effort to keep their ignorance in their hearts and pretend to know nothing. In fact, a child must say what he doesn't understand, so that he can find that many people don't understand like him, so that he can understand it with peace of mind.

Third, we'd better sit still before the children clearly express their need for help

Listen, speak and wait.

Our teachers are often impatient to wait, and students feel cold when they are a little slow. Imagination in your mind: it is best that the person in front has just finished speaking, and the back can be connected immediately, and it will take a long time to wait for three or five seconds. What you can't think of is that waiting for three or five seconds is actually very worthwhile, even for dozens of seconds.

In a social studies class in Japan, a girl asked a boy in the same group to speak. Although the boy raised his hand voluntarily, he was not sure, so he stood up for about 3 seconds without speaking. But do you think other team members are competing to speak? Did anyone tell him the answer quietly? No.

Teacher Manabu Sato said that this is called "thoughtfulness of doing nothing". Because everyone actually wants to be a self-reliant person in his heart, you'd better stay put before he clearly expresses his need for help. Therefore, it is also wrong for us to put top students next to students with learning difficulties. What we want to teach is to make children with learning difficulties dare to ask questions. Asking questions is his life responsibility, and he should learn to solve problems by himself.

thirty seconds later, the boy began to speak, and all the children in the class were listening. Do you think this time investment is worth it? Later, in my own class, I often asked my children: As long as someone is talking, you can't raise your hand and listen carefully to what the other person is saying.

fourth, don't interrupt him, it's already the best time for him to think in his life!

I am very nervous in class in mainland China, because as long as the child speaks slowly, as long as he speaks falteringly and intermittently, a dozen students will immediately raise their hands. At this time, if the teacher has no professional autonomy and likes lively scenes, he will really go to other children who raise their hands and say to the children who spoke originally: think about it next time.

I tell you, that's the best time for him to think in his life. He is trying to search, organize and relate the relationship between your topic and his thoughts. He is trying to organize the fragmentary thoughts into language to communicate with everyone. But you ordered other students because you didn't have professional intuition, and other students answered quickly and well. As a result, the child can only get a poor self-impression. Although the teacher and classmates are completely harmless, in fact, he will become less and less fond of talking.

this is the sensitivity of classroom culture. When a teacher listens and waits with a warm heart, these sensitivities will appear.

5. Real teaching should support each other through students

As visitors in Hamashima Primary School in Japan, we are asked to do one thing: don't look at the teacher's teaching, just look at the students' learning. What Mr. Manabu Sato shows us in particular is not the highlight of the class, but the "sticking point" of the class: why can't we relax our study, where is it not happening, and which children are not studying ... < P > What he pursues is not a good teacher and a good class, but seeing students, hearing students and thinking about students. What the teacher should pay attention to is not the child's understanding, but his incomprehension. Only in this way can we be close to the child's thoughts.

The school-running philosophy of Binzhi Township Primary School is: "If I grow up with you and study together, more people will grow up and study together. In class, I hold your hand, and you hold my hand. Everyone is closely linked and everyone grows up together, which is much more specific than the school philosophy of other schools. You completely feel that he is talking to people, telling children what children can understand.

Let's look at another sentence: "When you understand, you should have the power to make yourself understand, listen to each other's whispers and combine them with your own ideas. Compared with my own classroom, I found that students care more about listening to the teacher standing in front than what the students next door are saying, so the first thing to do in school is to establish a relationship of mutual learning between peers.

I feel ashamed to think of the class training of our own class. "Be the one who says thank you, or be the one who is thanked" "All the things I can do, not only to do, but also to do better than others" ... Compared with the classroom education in primary schools in Japan, they have been teaching children to have others in mind, and we are teaching children to be excellent and better than others.

the second thing is to be able to explore the unknown world, not to tell the children what is known. Think about what we are teaching every day and how many things children can find through search engines.

the third thing is to become a self-reliant person without being lonely. Everyone is not lonely or isolated in the classroom. Everyone can tell others with peace of mind when they are in trouble. I can't do this. Who will help me? You have said a math problem eight times, but someone will still raise their hands in the class. Teacher, I still don't understand. If that's the case, it's a safe classroom.

In fact, each of us can ask ourselves what is the basis of my class teaching. There are few slogans in Japan, but one has shocked me greatly: "It is not enough to teach only through the strength of teachers, but to support each other through students."

Finally, I want to end with this

The students you taught are actually valuable. When we meet such a child, we can always assume that I don't know him well enough, that I haven't found a way to understand him, and that he is neither good nor bad.

I used to teach physical education. In that section of physical education class, a mouse ran in the classroom, and the whole class was scared to run and fight. Only one child killed the mouse.

I was so grateful to that child at that time. However, before this day, I didn't take a good look at the child in more than a dozen classes: my homework was poor and I was not good at speaking. But in this class, I actually felt the value of his existence. Why should I be a teacher? We just haven't met such an opportunity. We always judge, feel and give back from the perspective of subject knowledge, learning and obedience.

I just want you to know that every child is different. Only when we are humble can we find a way.
