How to stimulate high school students' interest in learning information technology courses

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Students' adolescence is precisely the psychological characteristic of curiosity, which is the starting point to stimulate people to explore knowledge and the internal motivation to motivate students to learn actively. Only when students are interested in what they have learned can they concentrate, think positively and actively discover and explore new knowledge. Facts have proved that if there is no curiosity about things, even if you master innovative methods, it is difficult to have innovative behavior.

Teaching process is an interactive process between teachers' teaching and students' learning. In this process, as the main body of learning, the cooperation between students and teachers is very important. How to keep students' interest in learning to the maximum extent in the teaching process, so as to obtain the best teaching effect?

First, cleverly create problem situations to stimulate students' interest

The new curriculum standard of senior high school advocates inquiry learning, aiming at cultivating students' ability to ask, analyze and solve problems and improving their inquiry ability. It is required to carefully analyze the teaching materials, combine cognitive theory, and strive to create problem situations to stimulate students' interest in inquiry learning. The purpose of creating problem situations is mainly to stimulate students' desire to learn, to inspire students' thinking, and to keep students in a positive thinking state from beginning to end. It has become teachers' knowledge to create problem situations in classroom teaching and attach importance to guiding students to carry out various inquiry activities. Inquiry helps to stimulate students' thirst for knowledge and enthusiasm for thinking. Doubt can stimulate students' contradictions in understanding, thus plucking students' heartstrings of knowledge, igniting the sparks of students' thinking and stimulating their enthusiasm for exploring problems.

In teaching, teachers should create certain problem situations around the teaching content, and transfer students' excitement to the new knowledge background provided by teachers, thus stimulating students' thirst for knowledge. Through different forms of classroom teaching, such as exploration and discovery, situational stimulation, free discussion and so on. It provides a space for students to think freely, explore knowledge and display their talents, and creates a harmonious learning environment and atmosphere, allowing students to acquire and use knowledge in active exploration and fully develop their minds. This teaching form is the best opportunity for students to participate in practical activities.

When telling the information and its characteristics, let students watch the slides of the story of the Korean War and RAND Consulting Company, introduce new lessons and stimulate students' interest. The Korean War and the story of RAND Consulting. Before the Korean War, RAND Company sold a secret report to the US Department of Defense. The title is only seven words, and the asking price is $654.38+500,000. The U.S. Department of Defense dismissed this as blackmail, leading to "a wrong war with the wrong enemy at the wrong time and place." After the war, the Ministry of National Defense recorded the report and was anxious to read it. Q: What are those seven words? "-"China will send troops to North Korea ",thus introducing information as an important basis for decision-making. It can be seen that the use of fables to create situations can activate students' thinking, stimulate students' desire for knowledge, explore students' creative potential, gain the pleasure of learning, and turn it into learning motivation.

Second, make full use of multimedia technology to stimulate interest in learning

As a new teaching method, multimedia technology has incomparable advantages over other traditional teaching media. It integrates text, sound, image, video, animation and other media, and can be flexibly combined to transmit information to students in multiple directions, angles and ways, providing teachers and students with a lively, flexible and interactive multimedia teaching environment to better complete teaching and learning. Making good use of multimedia technology can not only mobilize students' visual senses, but also broaden the channels of information transmission and fully mobilize students' multi-sensory participation in learning. Studies have proved that the rate of people acquiring knowledge through various senses is: visual 83%, auditory 1 1%, and other 6%; Audio-visual combination can almost obtain the best knowledge retention rate. It can be seen that the application of multimedia technology in teaching can fully mobilize students' multi-sensory participation and play an important role in strengthening memory and improving teaching efficiency.

Reasonable use of multimedia technology can make the teaching content from difficult to easy, from abstract to concrete, arouse students' enthusiasm and initiative in the teaching process, promote the improvement of students' practical ability, effectively solve the key and difficult problems in teaching, optimize classroom teaching and improve teaching quality.

Third, contact with practical examples in life to stimulate students' interest

Constructivist learning view emphasizes that learning is not a process in which teachers transmit knowledge to students and learners passively accept it, but a process in which learners actively construct knowledge. The new curriculum in senior high school emphasizes that teaching is the communication between teaching and learning, and the process of communication, exchange and inspiration between teachers and students. In this process, sharing each other's experience and knowledge and connecting with real life can make students feel cordial. Students actively participate in this interaction, which not only exercises students' hands-on operation ability, but also stimulates students' interest in learning.

It is necessary to closely connect with the actual cases in life as far as possible, start from students' life experience, use computers and multimedia tools to provide students with digital resources in the form of multimedia and friendly interactive interfaces, so that students can experience the generation and development of knowledge, guide students to understand the nature of things in the experience, and master the teaching rules.

For example, when teaching e-mail, teachers can use students' familiar real life to explain, so that knowledge can be visualized and concrete, and students can easily understand it. For example, the user name and password of e-mail can be explained in combination with real life: the organization that sends e-mail for us on the network is called e-mail, and we can apply for an e-mail box to send and receive our own e-mail. What is the use of providing a user name and password when applying for an email address? As in life, every e-post office has many e-mail boxes. In order to distinguish them, each mailbox also has a mailbox number and password lock. The user name provided at the time of application is the mailbox number we set for our mailbox, and the password is the password we set for the password lock. Then, when we use e-mail, we can open the e-mail box by providing the correct e-mail number and password so as to send and receive e-mail. This explanation can make students feel that the online world is consistent with real life.

Fourth, create an approachable and harmonious atmosphere to stimulate students' interest.

Teachers should pay attention to teachers' image and moral cultivation in class. Because every student has a good wish, hoping to get the trust and respect of the teacher. Treat students, especially underachievers, with kindness and equality, pay more attention to them, do not exclude contempt, and should not be cynical. For the questions they answered, even if only one point is correct, teachers should warmly encourage and supplement them seriously, so as to enhance their confidence in answering questions, eliminate their fear and inferiority, and stimulate their interest in learning. Teachers should not be more serious than humor in class, and should not speak seriously in the whole class. Inserting a few humorous words properly can transfer some embarrassing phenomena to study. So as to establish a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students, create a harmonious and relaxed environment, eliminate students' psychological obstacles and stimulate students' interest in learning.

Fifth, pay attention to changing the roles of teachers and students to stimulate students' interest.

The teaching process is a process in which teachers and students participate together. Traditional teaching is a process in which teachers respect and learn from each other. Teachers are the only owners of knowledge, and students are the recipients of knowledge. Teachers alone have power, and students study under the supervision of teachers. Students' feelings, attitudes and values are ignored. The new curriculum in senior high school requires the relationship between teachers and students to change from unified standard education to differential education. The teacher is just a facilitator, giving students an imaginary platform to stimulate their diversified and divergent thinking. Use movies, TV, visits, interviews, travel, stories, games and other lively and interesting teaching methods to guide students to enhance their perception and imagination of images, thus stimulating students' interest in learning and cultivating humanistic spirit.

To sum up, the cultivation of students' interest in learning is related to the quality of teaching. When preparing lessons, whether it is preparing textbooks or students, teachers should start with cultivating students' interest in learning and constantly adjust teaching methods, so that students can subtly accept knowledge in their interest and learn to learn independently.
