Teaching wall charts are graphic teaching aids drawn according to teaching content and requirements. They are an important auxiliary means for teachers to carry out various teachings. Teaching wall charts with bright colors, vivid images and outstanding features are in line with the principles of intuitive teaching and the characteristics of concrete and vivid thinking of children. They can focus children's attention, arouse children's interest and enthusiasm in observation and perception, and help guide children to understand concretely and orderly. Memorize the knowledge learned and develop children's observation and thinking abilities, thereby effectively promoting the completion of teaching tasks.
With the progress of the times and the development of society, especially the development of information technology, various auxiliary teaching tools have emerged. A large number of modern teaching methods are used in kindergarten education. From the old slide projectors and projectors, Instrument, now popular multimedia-assisted teaching. Of course, these advanced auxiliary teaching methods will indeed make our classrooms more lively and full, but as ordinary regular teaching, these methods seem so unattractive. For some reasons of one kind or another, front-line teachers prefer to use readily available teaching flipcharts, especially in areas where multimedia configurations are not abundant. Teaching wall charts still play an indispensable role in kindergarten teaching due to their intuitive image, simple production, and easy operation.
Kindergarten teaching wall charts mainly come from wall charts that match the design of each teaching activity. They are generally drawn in bright colors, simple drawings, and easy for children to understand according to the key points and difficulties of teaching. picture. There are also wall charts made by teachers. Making wall charts by teachers is a process of understanding the teaching content and fully preparing for teaching activities. Only by mastering the key points and difficulties of textbook knowledge can we have a profound understanding of the problems in teaching. Only with this understanding can we give more consideration to children as the main body in the process of preparing lessons, allowing children to learn by themselves in the process of thinking, and continuously improve their abilities in the process of learning.
1. The significance of teaching wall charts:
1. It can help children understand the teaching content. In the teaching activities, children can understand the key points and difficulties of this activity by allowing them to observe the contents of the wall chart. For example: when conducting language narration activities, I often let the children observe and guess what happened, and then with a little guidance, the children can remember the content of this activity because they have added their own understanding. The process achieves the goal of getting twice the result with half the effort and lays a solid foundation for future pictures and descriptions.
2. Improve the efficiency of teaching activities. A class in kindergarten is very short. You must have sufficient time to prepare for using multimedia and the operation must be accurate. If you are a little careless and make mistakes, it will not only waste teaching time, but also easily cause discipline chaos and loss of control in the classroom. Using prepared flip charts can avoid such problems and allow children to concentrate on listening to the class. Using this teaching method not only reduces classroom waste, but also improves classroom efficiency.
3. Consolidate learning content and stimulate interest in learning. Wall charts used in daily activities do not need to be put away immediately. They can be hung in a corner of the activity room for children to study again during class, so that children can further master the knowledge content inadvertently and consolidate the knowledge they have learned unconsciously.
3. Flip charts stimulate children’s interest in independent learning
First of all, the use of flip charts can make activities vivid, vivid, and interesting, fully attracting children’s attention. If only language is used to convey information, it will give children a monotonous and boring feeling. With the flip chart, the expression of the activity content will be more vivid and vivid. When you take out pictures like magic, children are full of excitement and anticipation. Children's image thinking is dominant, which is their characteristic. By properly using flipcharts in teaching, children's attention can be fully attracted and their interest in learning can be fully mobilized.
More importantly, the use of wall charts can encourage children to use their own brains, develop children's ability to observe and compare, and put children's thinking in the best state, so that they can think actively and consciously accept new knowledge. To give full play to the subjectivity of children's free exploration, the purpose of using wall charts is to gradually transition from teacher's teaching to teacher's non-teaching. If teachers use wall charts in kindergarten teaching activities to completely teach by teachers, then its meaning is meaningless. When they are older, the importance of using flip charts is that effective charts can help children learn independently.
2. Teaching wall charts should be used in the learning of various subjects:
As a means of teaching, teaching wall charts are not only a teaching tool, but also a way for teachers to develop children's potential. , has its irreplaceable role. Teachers should constantly discover and tap the potential of children, create opportunities for children to use their hands and brains, and give full play to the role that wall charts should play in the teaching of various subjects.
(1) Use in language activities:
Vygotsky, an outstanding psychologist during the founding of the former Soviet Union, believed: “Any learning activity by young children requires intermediary factors. "It is necessary to use symbols to help them improve and consolidate their learning experience, which is of great significance to children's development." So, what kind of intermediary can enable children to learn effectively in the language learning process? As a teacher on the front line of teaching, it is not difficult to find that using flipchart teaching is an effective method in kindergarten language activities. It plays an important role in promoting the development of children's language.
For example: In the teaching and research activities of the prose poem "Autumn Rain" in the first semester of the large class, the method of teaching multiple lessons in one lesson was adopted. Both Teacher Wang and Teacher Li used multimedia courseware teaching. The general steps were similar: first, with Guess the riddle "Rain" to introduce the topic; then appreciate the courseware completely; then appreciate it in sections; appreciate it completely again; finally let the children discuss (focusing on guiding the children to learn to express themselves with beautiful sentences in prose poems) and finally have a preliminary understanding of the anthropomorphic writing method of prose.
Teacher Zhang’s activity design is as follows:
1. The song performance "Autumn Leaves" is introduced to arouse children's interest in activities. Teachers and children perform the song together.
2. Appreciate prose and have a preliminary understanding of its content.
(1) Children listen to the teacher emotionally reciting prose to music.
(2) By asking questions, talk about your initial impression of Qiu Yu in the prose. The teacher promptly asks questions based on the children's answers, and guides the children to initially understand the three-part content of the essay through one question and one answer.
3. Appreciate the recorded prose in sections, and use the pictures to focus on the artistic conception of the text. The children listen to the recording while looking at the pictures (showing the pictures at the same time)
(1) By asking "Why is the autumn rain said to be a key?" Let the children initially understand the expression of personification and understand the word "cool" and "tenderness."
(2) The colors brought by autumn rain. The teacher shows the corresponding small pictures according to the children's answers, and guides the children to answer in the language of prose while highlighting the verbs "fan" and "mail", and understand the vocabulary of "colorful", "dressed up", "you squeeze and I touch". ".
(3) Understand the metaphorical personification in this paragraph by asking "Why is the autumn rain said to be a box of colorful paints?"
(4) The good smell brought by the autumn rain. Question: What else does the autumn rain bring? The teacher shows the corresponding small pictures according to the children's answers and learns to tell them in prose language.
(5) News brought by autumn rain. Question: What good news have you heard? Where did you hear that? The teacher continues to show the corresponding small pictures based on the children's answers and learns to tell them in prose language.
(6) The joy brought by autumn rain. Question: Why is it said that autumn rain brings harvest songs and happy songs?
(7) Use pictures to understand the structure of the beginning and end of the article.
3. The children once again read the recorded prose while looking at the pictures. Encourage children to read along with the recording while looking at the pictures and adding simple movements.
4. Activities extension:
Children work in groups of five to make homemade little books. Remind the children to pay attention to the layout of the picture, mark the page numbers, and finally attach a cover and bind it into a book. Put children’s self-made picture books in the reading area so that children can continue to learn recitation and performance during area activities.
Case analysis:
"Autumn Rain" is a very beautiful prose poem. The courseware produced by Mr. Wang and Mr. Li based on the prose has captured the essence of the prose poem very well. The perfect blend of "emotion" and "scenery", the colorful and vivid pictures, the emotional recitation, and the piano accompaniment make the prose full of poetry and painting, vividly expressing the beauty of literary works, and deeply attracting children. Motivated by their interest in watching cartoons, children focus on the screen. The touching and lifelike animation pictures fully mobilize the children's multiple senses such as sight, hearing, and speaking, allowing the children to enter a virtual sensory world where the scenes are blended. , and at the same time feel the charm of the language and words in prose poems, thus greatly improving children's learning enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. Teachers flexibly use the advantages of courseware to always capture children's interests, pay attention to children's feelings about poetry, and allow children to take the initiative to learn. Through methods such as repeated playback and freeze-frame viewing, seeing, listening, and speaking are unified in vivid pictures of specific images, so that children can further improve their ability to use vocabulary and sentences and express their abilities. It can be said that the role of multimedia courseware plays an indispensable role in the teaching of this prose poem. But Teacher Zhang did not use multimedia courseware, but achieved a different kind of effect. She made full use of the wall chart to help the children understand the context of this long prose poem clearly, and also detailed the structure of the three-part prose and the focus of each paragraph. More importantly, the wall chart uses small icons that all children can draw. It plays a great role in consolidating the mastery of prose poems in the regional activities for the children in the upper class, and truly allows children to learn independently.
The "Outline" clearly states in the educational content and requirements in the language field that "using books, paintings and other forms to arouse children's interest in books, reading and writing, and cultivate pre-reading and pre-writing skills" . Wall charts are conducive to the transition from oral language learning to written language learning in large classes, and meet the most basic requirements for reading, so they can be used as a carrier of reading activities. Wall charts can become a breakthrough in solving the adaptability problem of children's language learning in the transition from kindergarten to primary school.
(2) Application in mathematics activities:
In children’s mathematics teaching, teachers should not only teach children simple mathematics knowledge, but also teach children how to master knowledge. Methods to cultivate children's interest in mathematics and lay a solid foundation for their future systematic learning. How to cultivate children's interest in learning mathematics? In addition to the common multimedia in modern teaching, the use of intuitive wall charts can also achieve good results.
1. Use intuitive wall charts to cultivate children’s divergent thinking. In the large class, children have a certain concept of number groups. In teaching, we use the method of one picture to contain multiple solutions and multiple questions to find one solution. In the picture reading and calculation questions, a picture containing many calculation formulas was selected. For example: there are 6 chickens on the wall chart. From the type point of view, there are 5 hens and 1 rooster; from the color point of view, there are 4 flower chickens and 2 white chickens; from the dynamic point of view, there are 3 rice-eating chickens and 3 non-rice-eating chickens. Only. Then using the commutative law they have learned, children can quickly write calculation formulas. In the future teaching of 7, 8, 9, and 10, the teacher only needs to show a picture, and the children can make their own equations based on the content on the picture. Throughout the entire process, children are always in an effective thinking atmosphere of actively exploring, actively thinking, looking for answers, and shortening calculation time.
2. Present wall charts step by step to improve children's understanding
Use step-by-step presentation methods to show the development process of things, and dynamically "play" static pictures to stimulate Children's interest in learning mathematics reflects the focus of the entire activity.
For example: A large class learns addition and subtraction formulas by looking at pictures, allowing children to understand the meaning of addition and subtraction while looking at pictures. There are 3 chickens in the first picture, 5 chickens in the second picture, and 8 chickens in the third picture. These are the three pictures. I will draw them one by one. By showing it, children can quickly understand its meaning. On the contrary, first show the picture of 8 chicks, then show the picture of 3 chicks, and ask: What's going on? Why did the 8 chicks become 3 in the second picture, and where are the other ones? How should we calculate the formula?
In short, use a step-by-step method to show the development process of things, and dynamically "play" static pictures to stimulate children's interest in learning mathematics and reflect the focus of the activity.
3. Keep the flipchart for easy access at any time.
You can keep the wall charts of each section’s math activities, such as number charts, idea charts, small animals, etc. It can be retained and shared as a teaching resource, and it is very convenient to use during review.
(3) Application in music activities:
Charts are another form of expression of wall charts. Charts are relatively commonly used in kindergarten music activities, and its role has also been Many teachers know it. Using diagrams to carry out kindergarten singing activities is in line with the learning characteristics of children who are dominated by image thinking, and is helpful for children to establish clear and definite concepts. Without the help of some teaching aids, it will be difficult for children to understand and perform some musical materials. Visual symbol materials such as maps can simplify and visualize music materials, enhance the intuitive effect, inspire children to master various melodies and rhythms based on understanding the maps, mobilize children's interest in learning, deepen understanding and memory, thereby improving the quality of activities . Now, based on some of my personal practices in actual teaching, I will talk about the important role of charts in kindergarten singing activities.
1. Charts help young children easily understand and memorize lyrics
In the music activity of "Singing Spring" in the upper class, I used symbolic symbols to replace lyrics. For example, more vivid lyrics are represented by vivid paintings: "The sky is blooming with colorful clouds", draw a simple colorful cloud to represent it; "There are red flowers blooming on the ground," represented by a red flower; "The birds are singing on the tree. ", draw a little bird standing on the tree; let's clap and laugh together", which are clapping hands and smiling faces respectively. For more abstract lyrics, "Hey la la la la hey la la la," I will use wavy lines; "Let's all come together" is represented by a circle; "Sing a spring" is represented by the word "spring"
In the process of guessing and talking, children quickly understand. Understand the meanings represented by the symbols, which is also a good way to cultivate children's early reading and ability to guess the meaning of pictures based on the pictures. At this time, children listen to the songs purposefully, because the pictures establish a relationship between the children and the music. A kind of connection, they will be happy that they have heard and remembered a lot of lyrics. It is no longer a burden for children to understand the lyrics clearly. On the contrary, children can have a happy and intuitive experience in the process. The use of pictures not only allows children to understand the lyrics quickly, but also allows children to maintain a deeper and more lasting impression of the lyrics. In the later stages of the activity, children can achieve the effect of breaking away from the pictures and singing freely, because the intuitive visual image already exists. In the minds of young children.
2. Maps cleverly solve difficult rhythms
In the middle class "Yangliuqing" percussion activity, regarding the mastery of fast and slow rhythms, the group of children who use maps and those who do not use maps The level of reproduction rhythm shown by the children in the map group is completely different, and there is a big difference. During the activities of the no map group, the children are directly allowed to listen to the music and follow the teacher's rhythm, but when the teacher stops, the children cannot grasp it. It's almost the rhythm of music.
In another set of activities, I wrote the number of beats under the musical notation, represented by simple drawings of hands and feet, and the children followed it several times. , you can independently complete the rhythm connection. The reason is that the intuitive image helps the children to sort out the types of rhythm. With the help of the flipchart, it is easier for the children to reproduce the rhythm from having pictures to not having pictures, and the difficulty is easily solved. .
In kindergarten singing activities, teachers have various strategies. The effective use of flipcharts can help children easily understand and memorize lyrics, cleverly solve difficult rhythms, stimulate children's interest in independent learning, etc.
3. Precautions for using flipchart teaching:
Flipchart teaching is a common form in kindergarten teaching activities. In the process of practice, we have also realized the following needs: Aspects to pay attention to:
1. Appropriate wall charts should be selected based on the age characteristics of the children, the content and characteristics of the activities, and play a key role in better helping the children understand and experience the activities.
2. As long as it can play a role in the activities, don't pursue beauty too much, just be close to the children. Don't spend a lot of time pursuing appearance, and make a distinction between the important and the important.
3. Teachers' painting skills are very important. The wall chart design must be vivid, scientific and accurate, which can stimulate children's enthusiasm for learning and contribute to the effective interaction between teachers and children in teaching activities.
In teaching activities, I think the effect of applying flip charts to the study of various subjects is also very obvious. We must organically apply the wall chart method to future teaching activities. I believe that with the help of this teaching method, our teaching activities will be more effective.
Everything has pros and cons. If computerization is pursued solely, some scientific content will be too simple and children will lose opportunities for practical operation and thinking, which is not conducive to the development of children's abstract logical thinking. On the contrary, if you blindly believe in wall charts, then many forms of activities will be too single, especially today when modern teaching is advocated. Spencer said: Teaching should begin with intuition and end with abstraction. Therefore, the design of the wall chart must handle the relationship between intuition and abstraction, highlight the essential characteristics of the teaching content, and make it have a certain depth, so that children can "pick the fruit with just one jump", so as to achieve the true purpose of teaching. At the same time, the use of flip charts is only a teaching method. What causes changes in teaching quality is the method of using flip charts, that is, the teaching design, not the flip chart itself. Teaching wall charts should be selected based on the teaching content, rather than teaching wall charts dominating the teaching content. Which design scheme or media method has high teaching effectiveness, we should choose and use it. Because the use of teaching wall charts is not only a matter of using more and less, but mainly a matter of practicality and ease of use. Therefore, we must choose which teaching method to use according to the actual situation.
