Trust is one of the most valuable foundations and tools to cultivate poor students' self-confidence. Once trust is lost, it is difficult to rebuild it. So how to trust poor students? First of all, teachers let poor students know that they can trust teachers and teachers can rely on them. This requires our teachers to love and respect the poor students emotionally, establish equal teacher-student relationship with them, make them feel relaxed and happy in classroom learning, and dare to express any opinions, especially the poor students who dare to express their independent opinions, which should be praised and encouraged. For example, in order to cultivate students' ability of multi-angle thinking and multi-angle observation, let students write an observation note after I finish the sixth book of the nine-year compulsory textbook "Drawing Carambola". The object of observation is the bowl we eat every day. Some students' ideas are: overlooking the bowl for eating is a big circle; There are also some students' ideas: looking up at the bowl for eating is a large and small concentric circle; But one poor student has a different idea: the head-up eating bowl is similar to an isosceles trapezoid. The next day, I asked the students to talk about what this bowl looks like. The first two parts of the students said that bowls are related to circles. Only one poor student said that the bowl has nothing to do with the circle, it is similar to the isosceles trapezoid. The whole class laughed at him. I am sure of all three ideas, especially praising the novelty, uniqueness and creativity of poor students. I said to the poor students in class: "It's good that you can observe the bowl from another angle, which shows that you have observed it carefully and really used your brain to achieve' multi-angle thinking and multi-angle observation'. I suggest you continue to observe or discuss with your classmates. I believe you will make new discoveries. " My words not only did not dampen the enthusiasm of this poor student, but made him more confident in continuing to observe and more interested in boldly exploring knowledge.
Second, cultivate the self-confidence of poor students and make friends with them.
Some poor students in our class seldom communicate with others, are not good at talking, and can't even hear them say a few words during the day. They always keep their feelings deep in their hearts. To this end, I feel the pulse, suit the remedy to the case, tell them my psychological words sincerely and frankly by writing letters, and make friends with them. To my surprise, they are also willing to talk to me, talk to me confidentially and let me know their world; Zhou Haishu even wrote me a reply, which wrote: "Teacher Zhang, I cried with joy after reading your letter to me! Many teachers have taught me from preschool to the next semester of grade three, and you are the only teacher who wrote to me. You helped me build up my self-confidence, made me confident in my ability, and got rid of all kinds of troubles and puzzles. Before, like Zhang Xudong, Liu Jun and Tao Bin, I lacked confidence in myself. Every time I contact my classmates, I am afraid of what they will say about me. After reading this letter you wrote to me, I no longer pay attention to the judgment in the eyes of my classmates. I want to communicate with my classmates and share some of my own secrets with you. " From this reply, I realized that making friends with poor students is a good way to help poor students build their self-confidence.
Third, the cultivation of poor students' self-confidence should be guided by the situation.
Some students, due to poor self-control, are obsessed with songs regardless of time and place. In this regard, I noticed the positive factors revealed in him, and "guided" and "inspired" him to correct his wrong behavior and establish good self-confidence. I was lecturing with relish before the school singing competition. Suddenly a song came from behind, which attracted the attention of the students. They all tried to find the source of the song without class. At this time, if I turn a deaf ear, it will inevitably affect the lecture and encourage the formation of bad habits of not obeying discipline; If the lecture is interrupted, it is necessary to find out the truth and then severely reprimand and punish it, which will not only delay the class, but also cause a tense and boring atmosphere in the class and hurt the students' self-esteem. So I didn't get angry, and I didn't pay attention to it. I just said kindly, "It seems that you are very talented in music, and you are going to take part in the singing competition soon. You also want to win glory for your class, but now you should obey the classroom discipline and listen attentively. I will appreciate your songs after class." Hearing this, the classmates shut up and listen attentively. After class, I really enjoyed listening to his singing and applauded him warmly. I hope he can study hard with the same interest. I will actively provide him with opportunities to display his talents in this field in the future. Later, this classmate not only consciously observed discipline and studied hard, but also became a popular singer in the class. Practice has proved that according to the psychological characteristics of poor students, it is another way to cultivate their self-confidence and psychological success.
