Some so-called professors in universities turn classes into storytelling sessions. What do you think?

Teacher Zhang, a recent Internet celebrity, is really attractive in class. I have watched his videos frequently and they are very repetitive. Objectively speaking, Teacher Zhang’s class was very successful and exciting. Not only did he convey all the information that should be conveyed, but he also attracted students to admire him and show his talent.

Should the teacher’s lecture be turned into a story session? First of all, it should be clear that stories are a means of teaching, they serve teaching, and they are a superb expression of teaching art. If you deviate from this, you are not doing your job properly and will mislead your disciples.

Tell me about the unique teachers I met. One is a junior high school mathematics teacher, a male teacher, relatively young. He has a special characteristic in class. He speaks very fast, but he can still be heard clearly. So we were very energetic and focused when we attended his class. He recited the words in the textbook very quickly and fluently. When talking about something that is not in the textbook, the speaking speed will be slightly slower and the words will be repeated. Therefore, there is basically no nonsense in his classes. His lectures are crisp, clear, and very lively.

There is also a geometry teacher in a junior high school. She is a female teacher, middle-aged and not tall. The lectures were very clear and well-organized, and the geometric proofs were all there. What impressed us deeply was that when talking about circles, she used the teaching aid compass to draw a circle on the blackboard. As a result, the teaching aid broke and the circle was not replaced. We yelled for a new compass and helped her get it, but the teacher didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at us, looking for luck, then turned around and rounded his arms, drawing a circle left and right. We cheered and exclaimed. She turned around, smiled at us, and continued the class. After class, we all went to the blackboard to draw circles, and found that no one could draw circles as well as the teacher.

When people talk about professors, people will feel awe in their hearts. However, today’s university professors are gradually beginning to add water. As described in the details of your question, half a class can be filled with homely gossip. This is extremely irresponsible.

I once read a piece of news. A 74-year-old professor at Shandong Normal University missed class because he read the wrong schedule. He wrote a self-criticism and read it out in class. I think this is the only way to be worthy of the title of "professor".

However, there are more and more so-called "professors" hanging around nowadays, which really makes people worry about the future of education. Of course, today's college students also have too many "dawdling around". Many students do not listen to teachers at all during class. Under such circumstances, teachers will gradually lose their enthusiasm for teaching.

So, in the university classroom, good interaction between teachers and classmates is the key to maintaining a good learning atmosphere in the university.

I would like to say that this should be divided into disciplines. If it is a science and engineering course, it is purely irresponsible to talk about things other than the course in class. But if it is a public elective course, or a course in the humanities and social sciences, it would be irresponsible to follow the textbook. I majored in history. When I was in graduate school, I had a professor who liked to talk about some of his own experiences and some interesting things in academia. We all liked listening to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Gossip is sometimes not nonsense. I am now a high school teacher. In class, I often talk about my understanding of a certain issue. This will not dilute the subject, but will help deepen students' understanding of the issue. So I tell the students that every sentence I say is It's useful. Even the jokes I tell are not casual, but focus on a certain knowledge point. Students who don't listen carefully to my lectures and only take notes when I emphasize key points will definitely not get good grades in the exam, because every word I say has a strict logical relationship.

As a student, I prefer teachers who are casual in class, who do not cater to others or are pretentious, and teach courses according to their own thoughts and ideas. Don't rely entirely on textbooks. There is content and theory, but you should repeat it word for word according to the textbook. You can have your own opinions when talking about theories. He never relies on calling names to restrain students, and he has a very personal charm. There was a teacher in college who never called the teacher by name, and in every class there was a row of people who added their own seats behind the teacher. You can sit down to answer questions, like a round table meeting where everyone expresses their opinions. There are sparks of collision of opinions every time in class.

Of course, what I dislike the most are those teachers who are very casual. They often use excuses to have something to do and do not arrange the normal classes. They always ask so many students to obey his time and take roll call. Also, I was reluctant to go to class and just made do. If you are not ready for class, just open your USB flash drive, find a ppt and read it. Talk about the meetings you have held recently, meet the great people, and start telling your personal stories. Even different courses can cover the same content. Instead of doing this, it’s better for everyone to learn by themselves.

I am a teacher in an ordinary university, teaching finance. Our school has very strict requirements, and all teaching requirements must be brought to class. The textbooks should be the latest ones. I didn't go against the school's practices and brought all the necessary requirements, but I basically didn't read them. I chose the cheapest textbook that met the school's requirements, because Chinese university textbooks all copied each other. The lectures are done according to the existing system, and the content of the lectures changes every time. Participants in the teaching competition all win first prize. I am not modest. When I talk about the part, I will tell you what competition I have participated in and what awards I have won. Your confidence builds your students' confidence.

When telling stories, it also depends on what kind of story you tell. If they just tell stories about people around them and stories they know that have nothing to do with the course and have little meaning to college students, such professors are simply misleading and entertaining students. However, if examples seem to be given casually, but in fact they are closely related to the course, then such a professor explains things in simple terms and is flexible in teaching.

In universities, the professors who can really impress college students are not those who follow the textbook or lecture in a formal manner, but those who can flexibly connect classroom knowledge with real life, and can also A teacher who inspires students through interesting stories. This kind of enlightenment is not only about knowledge, but also about life and life principles.

Storytelling can enrich the interest of the classroom. The key depends on what the teacher uses it for.
