How to improve the attention and importance of information technology discipline

Now we are entering the information society, how to make students master computer-based information technology, how to use information technology to improve students' scientific and cultural quality and improve the teaching quality of schools has become a common concern. As early as the 1980s, computers began to enter the middle school classroom. After decades of efforts, almost every middle school has been equipped with computers and computer rooms, and has set up compulsory or elective courses in computers. Computer science is a rapidly developing discipline. In the process of computer teaching in primary and secondary schools, we should pay more attention to cultivating students' information awareness and computer application ability, and improve students' active learning ability, which requires students to have the motivation to learn. In the actual teaching process, we find that if the traditional teaching method is adopted, teachers teach students to learn, and the teaching is carried out step by step in the order from easy to difficult and from simple to complicated, students will easily get bored, lose interest in learning and lose motivation to learn. How can students be motivated to learn? We can start from the following aspects: First, to cultivate students' self-confidence, before students learn and operate computers, we must first break the psychological resistance of students in learning-mystery. After investigation, we found that more than 90% students in township middle schools have never been exposed to computers. Liu is very mysterious about computers, which makes students curious about computers, but lacks confidence in learning computers well. To get rid of students' mystery about computers, students should first understand the past, present and future of computers, as well as their basic functions and functions. As long as students have a certain understanding of computers, they will be confident to learn computers well. In this regard, we did an experiment: we divided eight classes in the first grade of new junior high school into two groups. In a group of four classes, students are allowed to operate directly in the computer room without knowing anything about computers. Although the teacher gave a detailed explanation before asking the students to operate, few students can complete the operation task in the actual operation process, and some students even get cold feet and dare not operate anything, so the teaching goal of the class can hardly be achieved; In another group of four classes, before the students actually operate the computer, we spend one or two classes briefly introducing the development history of the computer, the basic functions and main functions of the computer, and the components and functions of the computer. Later, when operating on the computer, students were confident, active and dare to practice. Most students can complete the operation task quickly, and the teacher's classroom teaching goal is easier to complete. Secondly, let students successfully complete three or four operation tasks, give students a feeling of being able to control computers, and enhance their confidence in learning computers well. These operation tasks need to be simple and easy to use, such as changing the desktop background and setting the screen saver, which students can complete with a click of the mouse. When students see that they can easily transform the juice computer, or see the image of the screen saver, intuitive and harmonious sounds and images, they not only stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, but also enhance their confidence in learning computers, thus having the motivation to learn computers. Second, pay attention to the interest of teaching content. In order to give students the motivation to learn, information technology education in primary and secondary schools needs to start with the teaching content that students are interested in. The development of human thinking is a process from simple to complex, from low to high. The basic feature of thinking development in primary and secondary schools is the gradual transition from concrete thinking in images to abstract thinking. However, this abstract logical thinking is still directly related to experience, and it still needs a lot of concrete images. Therefore, the teaching content should be suitable for students' thinking characteristics and pay attention to visualization and interest. If students are interested in "painting", this part of the teaching content is highly operational, and students' interest is low and strong. First of all, let students master the method of starting and quitting "Drawing" and let them know the basic components of the "Drawing" window (including menu bar, toolbox and box, etc.). ). Then, using the teaching method of speaking and practicing, let students master the basic operation method of "drawing". Finally, let students give full play to their imagination and creativity, draw their favorite pictures, draw more and practice more, and arouse their learning enthusiasm. This improves students' enthusiasm for learning computers and drawing with computers. They can not only draw illustrations by computer, but also quickly get familiar with some basic operating methods of Windows 95/98 operating system and exercise their hands-on ability. The application software based on Windows operating system generally has the same window appearance and the same operation method. As long as you learn the operation method of one application, it is not difficult to master the operation methods of other applications. Through the concrete study of "drawing", we can learn its basic knowledge and usage, draw various images with it, arouse students' curiosity and interest, stimulate their desire for further study, and easily transfer their knowledge and ability to the study of new knowledge and new software, and learn the thinking method of solving problems with computers. In this way, students have the stamina for development, can benefit for life, and the motivation for learning will continue. Third, in the process of computer teaching in primary and secondary schools, we should use scientific teaching methods to keep students' learning motivation and stimulate students' learning enthusiasm with scientific teaching methods. The teaching methods are generally "attracting teaching", "example operation" and "task-driven", and the principle of "focusing on use and cultivating ability" is adhered to, so that students can not only master the basic knowledge and skills of computers, but also experience the process of analyzing and solving problems and feel the joy of exploration, discovery, creation and success in the process of using computers to complete tasks independently. This is of great significance to cultivate new human beings with strong practical ability and creative ability in the new period. Among them, task-driven teaching method is particularly worth mentioning. The so-called task-driven teaching mode means that teachers design the teaching content to be completed in a semester into one or more specific tasks, so that students can master the teaching content by completing each specific task and achieve the teaching goal. Task-driven teaching mode is adopted in teaching. Teachers' teaching and students' learning all revolve around how to complete a specific task. Teachers' teaching ideas are clear, students' learning objectives are clear, and students can master the learning content more easily. For example, in computer teaching, there is a section about the use of picture boxes, text boxes, pictures and mortar selection graphics in Word. In the task-driven teaching mode, instead of introducing the concepts, functions and operation methods of each part in isolation, all the contents are designed as the specific task of making a greeting card, and the teacher can let the students master the teaching content by explaining the making method of this greeting card. The key points and difficulties in teaching are prominent, and the teaching sequence is greeting card making process, which conforms to the students' cognitive law. This makes the whole teaching process clear, distinct, logical and relaxed. Task-driven teaching mode also has advantages: improving students' awareness of active participation. In teaching, if the teacher always asks the students to listen, the students will easily get tired, and it is easy to develop the dependence psychology of waiting for the teacher to teach in class. If students are given a specific task in each class, they will have a sense of urgency to complete the task. In the process of operating, trying and creating, students will feel the success of their own exploration, thus fully stimulating their interest in learning and mobilizing their enthusiasm and active participation in learning. It should be noted that the task-driven teaching mode also has its own defects. Different learning abilities of students will lead to polarization, which requires teachers to strengthen communication between students and between teachers and students in the teaching process, so that students can improve together in cooperation. In addition, in design teaching; When doing business, we should also pay attention to designing some interesting, practical and feasible tasks according to the characteristics of students, so that students are willing to learn, love learning and enjoy learning. Fourth, we should cultivate students' information ability and consciousness, cultivate students' information ability and consciousness, and improve students' learning motivation. Information technology education in primary and secondary schools should pay attention to the cultivation of students' information literacy, that is, the cultivation of information ability and information consciousness. The ability to acquire, analyze, process and apply information is the symbol of the most basic ability and quality of members of the information society. In the traditional teaching system,

To a great extent, education is to let students remember all kinds of knowledge (information). This inefficient education has been difficult to adapt to the explosive growth of knowledge in the information society, and the demand for talent training is rapidly updated. We can say that in the information age, information itself is no longer important. What is important is how to establish a new basic skill system. In addition to absorbing the essence of traditional skills, we should also emphasize the cultivation of students' information ability such as information acquisition, information analysis and information processing, and cultivate creative talents with high innovation ability. Using computers as tools, using teaching software or teaching games to carry out computer-aided teaching and develop students' intelligence, computers will certainly develop in the direction of information technology education with wider content. Therefore, in the teaching process, teachers should provide a "database" for students to obtain useful materials from the "database". For example, students use all kinds of pictures and tables in the "database" to complete an illustrated and exquisite electronic greeting card for teachers, or make a curriculum, duty table and newsletter to manage classes, and even browse and consult information on the Internet to discuss hot issues. Perhaps some students are not better at learning with paper and pencil than others, but their ability to analyze, process and apply information is much higher than other students, which is exactly the demand for talents in the information society. In this way, students are educated in information literacy in the process of operation.

Students have their own ability and consciousness in the process of learning, and their motivation to learn computers will also be improved. I believe that as long as students have the motivation to learn, they will be able to learn the subject of information technology well.
