The development process of learning interest
Interest in learning has a process of occurrence and development. Generally speaking, it starts with fun, generates interest, and then develops into interest.

1. Interest ── The main form of learning interest

Generally speaking, people have some "research" spirit since childhood. For example, if a small ball is in his hand, he will pat it, pinch it, watch it roll and watch it jump. If you catch a butterfly, pull off its wings and see how its body is made. From a child's point of view, nothing in the universe is not fresh and interesting, and it is not worth pondering, observing and studying. It can be seen that fun is often the result of people being attracted by the objective world.

Teachers should start with "fun" to stimulate students' interest in learning. For example, when physics in the second day of junior high school talked about "boiling and evaporation", the teacher aroused students' interest in this way: the teacher put an alcohol lamp on the podium, and then held up a piece of paper and asked, "Will this paper burn if it is placed on the lit alcohol lamp?" "Of course." "So, if you fold the paper into a box and put it on the lamp, will it burn?" "Of course." The teacher filled the paper box with water. When the paper box was soaked, he poured out the water and put it on the lighted alcohol lamp. As a result, the paper box didn't burn. The student said, "What's so strange about this? The carton is soaked, of course it won't burn. " The teacher asked, "Why doesn't the paper box burn when it is soaked?" At this point, the students are already in an "angry" and "embarrassed" state, eager to wait for the teacher's explanation. At this time, it aroused students' strong interest in learning. When teachers come to teach new lessons, the teaching effect will be greatly improved.

"Interesting" has three characteristics, namely, intuition, blindness and universality. Teachers should pay attention to four points to arouse students' "interest": first, the questions should be small and specific; Second, the question should be novel and interesting; The third is to have appropriate difficulty; The fourth is to be enlightening.

2. Interest-the intermediate form of learning interest

Research shows that interest in learning is related to students' basic knowledge, and only those things that students want to know but don't know can arouse interest in learning. A desire to know the mystery becomes an irresistible desire, which will inspire people to act. For example, when Galileo was young, he accidentally saw the lights hanging under the church porch swinging. He stared intently and felt that it was almost time to swing. He calculated the time of swinging back and forth according to his pulse. This interest in learning finally led him to invent the pendulum clock.

Interests are often called hobbies. If you go further along the hobby, you will turn a single interest into a hobby. We can see from some successful examples of scientists that an astronomer, enjoying the cool in the summer night when he was a student, pointed to the Big Dipper and recorded the time according to the zhongxing. At first, it was just fun. He further studied constellations, learned about nebulae, identified planets and observed the moon. When he saw that the four seasons were different, morning and evening were different, his interest began. Learn more about the principles of solar and lunar eclipses, verify the distance of light years, and discover the "canal" on Mars. This in-depth study made it more interesting, so I became interested in astronomy. Interest is a noble sentiment, and interest is the first step in pursuing truth. When students are interested in learning, they can stimulate their motivation to forget to eat and sleep. Interest is characterized by singleness and persistence.

3. Interest-an advanced form of learning interest

When learning interest with personal characteristics is combined with noble ideals and lofty goals, interest leaps forward and becomes interest. Interest is the destination of learning interest. Interest can determine a person's enterprising direction and lay the foundation of his career. Therefore, teachers' novel, interesting and logical teaching contents, rich and varied and lively teaching methods, and varied homework contents can constantly arouse students' new inquiry activities, thus stimulating a higher level of curiosity.
