How to integrate the concepts and strategies of creative education into traditional teaching design

High school politics classroom teaching strategies under the concept of creative education

Wu Longjun, senior politics teacher at Jilin Experimental Middle School

American trend expert Daniel Pink first proposed the creative era in "New Thinking". The creative era is characterized by "six senses", namely, design sense, story sense, symphony sense, emotional emotion, entertainment sense and meaning sense. Teachers can learn from these new creative concepts to explore and practice, innovate teaching concepts, methods and means, and organically combine creativity and teaching. The so-called creative education, "chuang" means innovation, creation, and creativity; "sense" means sensibility, emotion, feeling, and perception. Creative education means that educators design and add appropriate creative elements into effective classroom teaching based on the characteristics of learners, guide the educated to construct their own six senses of creativity, and cultivate talents with creative literacy. Creative education emphasizes creativity, high concepts, and high sensibility. Creativity is the primary characteristic of creative teachers. Teacher creativity refers to the synthesis of concepts, knowledge, abilities, personality and other qualities displayed by teachers in the process of creative activities. High concept means aesthetic, creative and emotional. It includes three abilities: design sense, story sense, and symphony ability. High sensitivity refers to the ability to infect others, transcend the ordinary, and seek the true meaning of life. It includes the ability to experience emotions, entertainment, and meaning. Politics teachers must learn to use creative concepts to improve teaching effectiveness.

1. Sense of design - cultivating students' thinking ability in problem situations

Classroom teaching must be suspenseful, and suspense is inseparable from design. In essence, design is a basic ability of human beings. It refers to human beings making things that did not exist in previous lives to meet people's needs and give new meaning to life.

Suhomlinsky once made this insightful conclusion: "Deep in the human heart, there is a deep-rooted need, which is to hope that oneself is a discoverer, researcher, and explorer. "This need is particularly strong in students' spiritual world. "Creating a certain situation in teaching and hiding problems in the situation will arouse students' interest in exploring and researching. Creating situations is to use comics, artworks, simulated characters, written materials, pictures, audio and video files, and various social resources in the teaching of political courses based on the teaching content and learners’ analysis to make students feel immersed in the situation. In order to arouse students' certain mentality and emotional experience, guide them to think and participate, thereby inspiring and helping students master and understand knowledge, improve analysis of problems, explore problems and solve problems. This situational instructional teaching design concept is based on the theory of scaffolded teaching and constructivism, and uses the Internet to integrate teaching links, teacher-student interaction, knowledge, abilities and emotions. Scenario materials should be selected close to the actual life of students, questions should be asked in a comprehensive and in-depth manner, enlightenment should be provided in a timely manner, and abilities should be cultivated step by step. On the one hand, the teaching content and teaching methods are contemporary and open; on the other hand, the teaching structure and teaching links are scientific and rigorous. They are both inclusive and open, and the unity of content and form is better achieved. This is a practice advocated by the new curriculum. The open and open classroom is in line with the development trends and inherent requirements of modern political teaching. It can effectively promote students' emotional experience, allow students to learn in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, encourage students to continuously explore the field of knowledge, and use appropriate teaching situations to better achieve teaching goals.

2. Sense of story - Cultivate students' humanistic feelings in pursuing truth, goodness and beauty

Middle school students have a strong thirst for knowledge and are quite curious. They love to listen and watch interesting stories. Teachers should grasp this characteristic of students to stimulate students' interest and improve their enthusiasm for learning. Introducing stories into new lessons can not only arouse students' desire to learn, but also make the teaching materials easy to understand and enhance students' understanding. The use of stories to teach reasoning is vivid, without the serious preaching of the past, and the classroom atmosphere is lively and harmonious, increasing each student's participation opportunities and active thinking, thereby stimulating students' interest in learning and curiosity, and changing passive learning to active learning. Enable students to truly understand and master the teaching material in a friendly, natural and pleasant situation. In teaching, theories are obtained by analyzing stories, and then the theories are used to analyze the stories, which breaks the traditional thinking model and guides students to think about problems from a new perspective and use the learned principles to analyze the people and things around them.

This kind of teaching not only tests the correctness of the theoretical knowledge acquired and enriches direct experience, but also allows students to expand their imagination, thus cultivating innovative consciousness and improving innovation ability. At the same time, this teaching design also reflects the concept of attaching importance to the knowledge formation process that the new curriculum emphasizes, and is a major improvement and breakthrough in the traditional teaching model. At the same time, telling stories can not only improve students' language expression skills and train students' thinking, but the profound cultural thoughts, moral concepts, and spiritual power contained in the stories will have a subtle and far-reaching impact on students and improve their comprehensive thinking. quality. Using story teaching can form a unified teaching process, which is highly operable and easy to refine the evaluation of teaching quality. Of course, implementing this teaching also requires teachers to put in a lot of hard and creative work.

3. Sense of Symphony - Capturing the Sparks of Thinking Collisions in Dynamics

Professor Ye Lan pointed out in the article "Reconstructing the View of Classroom Teaching Process" that "the teaching process should be regarded as In order to achieve the teaching tasks and purposes, teachers and students participate together around the teaching content, produce interactive influences through dialogue, communication and cooperative activities, and promote the process of teaching activities in a dynamically generated manner." "The new curriculum standards advocate. Students' learning methods are independent, cooperative, and inquiry-based. Based on students' independent learning, cooperative learning as a way, and inquiry learning as the purpose, the new teaching model has become a fertile ground for dynamic classroom generation. These "generations" interpret the classroom The excitement more fully reflects the subjectivity of students' learning, thereby stimulating their enthusiasm for learning. Classroom teaching is no longer a linear process in which teachers impart knowledge mechanically and rigidly according to preset teaching plans, but should be a process of continuous adjustment and dynamic development based on the actual needs of students' learning. The classroom is brilliant because of generation, and the classroom is full of vitality because of generation. Generative dynamic classroom is a classroom form that designs and organizes educational, creative, and practical student activities that can stimulate students' interests based on the study of teaching materials and students' actual situations. It does not advocate presets. Instead, it emphasizes generativity. During activities, we should be good at seizing these classroom resources and making full use of them, encouraging students to actively participate, actively practice, actively think, actively explore, and actively create. Through student activities, students can learn to discover and solve problems by themselves. Explore learning methods, accumulate learning experience, promote the dynamic generation of classroom teaching, and transform the classroom into a vibrant and dynamic process. Such classroom teaching not only shines with the brilliance of rationality, but also demonstrates the charm of human nature.

IV. ***Emotions - Establishing a harmonious and uplifting ***student-teacher relationship

***The teacher-student relationship emphasizes that people are spiritual Only through experience can teachers and students re-examine themselves and gain the meaning of individual survival and the value of life development through experience. In order to create a harmonious student classroom environment and promote students' life development, teachers must change the traditional view of students and respect students' life development needs and life development intentions. Not only that, teachers must have a sense of empathy. Only by interacting and talking with students can teachers form a homogeneous body. To this end, the role of teachers should change from professional to social, pay attention to the value of individual students' lives, and realize the transformation of the cognitive perspective of teachers' roles. If teachers blindly cling to the concept of "teacher's dignity", there will be no harmonious development of teachers and students' lives. The student-oriented teaching process is not a one-way process of teachers transferring knowledge to students, but a process in which teachers and students learn together, explore and apply knowledge together. It is also a process of life exchange and life development between teachers and students. This teaching relationship will be less reflected in teachers teaching students knowledge, and more reflected in the mutual influence and mutual promotion of teachers and students in the process of jointly exploring relevant topics. Through classroom activities and interactions, teachers will be "willing to face students" and achieve new generative knowledge with students, and students' lives will also be enriched and developed. ***The student-teacher relationship can enable teachers and students to communicate through knowledge and spirit, so that both teachers and students can constantly gain new experiences, experience new emotions, and gain new knowledge, so that teachers and students can gain spiritual benefits. New satisfaction develops in the same way in knowledge, emotion, intention, etc.

5. Sense of entertainment - Create a relaxed and enjoyable classroom learning atmosphere.

The "entertainment" teaching method is to combine teaching with entertainment, allowing students to give up the burden of scores in a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere, allowing them to "play" in the political kingdom, free from dependence, imitation and passivity. Transforming strong memories into entertainment, games, active observation, practice, exploration, communication and other teaching activities will greatly stimulate students' interest in learning, regain students' self-confidence in learning, tap students' learning potential, reduce students' learning burden, and create a large-scale Improve the basic quality of students and allow students to personally experience the charm of high school politics. The entertainment of teaching materials is the key to attracting students. One of the characteristics of the new teaching materials is the richness, interest, entertainment, knowledge and scientific nature of the text. Cartoons, diagrams, materials, and situations are extremely important resources. It is necessary to make better use of the course text platform and select entertaining materials that students are interested in. The assumptions and models of teaching scenarios should be more entertaining and challenging. Teaching methods, methods and language should focus on entertainment. Create a relaxed and pleasant learning environment for students, allowing students to discover through games, comprehend and apply theoretical knowledge through discovery. The new high school politics textbooks have designed many inquiry activities to enable students to experience the process of exploring problems and cultivate their ability to discover problems, research problems, form conclusions, and solve problems. At the same time, he uses his teaching wit, such as humor and fun, to stimulate students' strong desire to explore knowledge and develop abilities. Of course, emphasizing the entertaining nature of teaching language does not mean relaxing the management of students' classroom discipline. On the contrary, teachers' teaching language can be entertaining at the right time and in the right place, which is an effective means to create a relaxed and comfortable learning environment and activate students' thinking space. .

6. Sense of meaning - pursuing the value and meaning of life

The value of life means that in classroom teaching, teachers should pay attention to students’ feelings, cognitions, emotions, experiences, The role of will allows students' various life elements to bloom in an all-round way; teachers should not only pay attention to their own life manifestations, but also pay attention to the students' life development; teachers not only teach to spread knowledge, but more importantly, for the benefit of people Work with the development of life; teachers should not only pay attention to the emotional world of students, but also allow all students to develop healthily, harmoniously, and comprehensively. As the main channel for schools to implement quality education, political classrooms should pay attention to the collision of life elements and promote the life expression of individual life. The basic elements of classroom vitality include teachers and students, processes and methods, knowledge and application. Among them, teachers and students as life factors are the basis of classroom life activities, processes and methods are the intermediaries for realizing the life value of teachers and students, and knowledge and application are the full display of life in the classroom. Only with the existence of life in the classroom can knowledge be generated and the classroom be full of vitality. The quality of the classroom is closely related to the integration of teachers and students' lives. It directly affects the feelings of teachers' professional life, the cultivation of students' interest in learning, and the display of the value of teachers and students' lives. The teaching of ideological and political courses pays attention to the value of life, not only to enable students to learn knowledge and skills, nor to master problem-solving skills, but should focus on developing students' comprehensive abilities, showing the value of life, and promoting the development of students based on life, for life, and promoting life. Personal communication and mutual development of teachers and students' lives. Ideological and political courses should have the excellent quality of positive understanding of the value of life and active support for life development. It should be an important platform for radiating the vitality of teachers and students' lives, and should become the most suitable space for the mutual development of teachers and students' lives.

Only those who are regular thinkers in class can create an ecological classroom. The objects of classroom teaching are living people. Teaching is not only the exploration of knowledge and the training of abilities, but also the impact of the soul, the penetration of culture and the cultivation of spirit. What teachers display in the classroom should not only be profound knowledge and rich experience, but also the disclosure of mind and personality, the blending of thoughts and emotions, and the flow of culture and wisdom. Only when teachers’ broad mind, sincere emotions and profound thoughts have a positive impact on students, can they shock students’ hearts, arouse students’ thirst for knowledge and imagination, make teaching activities full of rationality and passion, and make the classroom glow. vitality of life.
