[b] Shun network news, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Hongkong and other nine countries and regions In the "future family entertainment product concept design competition", there are more than 1300 contestants in 20 schools in China. However, the result of the competition was chilling, and the two groups of champions, runner up, and the Chinese children of the season were not on the edge of the game. Finally, only a Memorial Prize with an encouraging nature was won. Chinese children are so pale and lack of originality that the Chinese children are so pale and lack of originality in the face of their bold and unique works. Chinese children are highly intelligent and often outstanding in all kinds of knowledge tests, but why Chinese children are not thinking and creative. Knowledge is no substitute for thought, just as thinking is no substitute for knowledge. Creativity is also a kind of thinking ability. It is the ability to ask questions, solve problems, create new things, and help people adapt to the environment. Therefore, our children have two purposes in reading and learning. One is to master knowledge, the other is to develop their thinking skills. Most parents and teachers tend to pay attention to the former but ignore the latter. Parents should pay attention to some ways to train their children's thinking power:
one, to be good at asking
is the starting point of thinking, and asking questions is very important to the training of children. In order to stimulate children's potential and creativity, parents must master the form and skills of asking questions to children. We should make good use of questions and learn to listen to children's questions. This will not only enhance the relationship between parents and children, but also stimulate children's thinking ability, and at the same time cultivate their expressive power.
asking questions, don't ask only the right or wrong closed questions. It's best to ask the children's ability to ask some open questions without the only answer, such as: what's the use of the cup? How much is 10? And so on.
two, create a "ask" situation for children,
children actively think, ask questions voluntarily, which is very important for the development of children's thinking. Perhaps some parents will ask, how can the child ask, ask, ask the child to ask questions and ask questions, an important practice, is to arrange a situation to stimulate the interest that the child wants to ask. There are certain skills to follow in arranging the "situation".
first, let the child be curious. If the story is half, let the child curious to ask the result; play guessing game, give some hints, and so on. Then guide the child how to ask clearly and ask politely.
Second, encourage children to think positively and ask questions voluntarily. In the child's nature, there is a desire for knowledge. There are countless "why" in their minds, and they want to understand the true face of this wonderful world. It is the attitude and disapproving attitude that adults are accustomed to, and gradually strangled the child's impulse to learn.
three,
training children's divergent thinking / > we often encounter the following two types of problems:
a class of problems, like the exercises in the textbook -- a clear question that requires us to use some of the knowledge that has been learned to the problem of "party thinking"; and the correct answer to this question is often the only one. One, it's like we answer "11" can only be 2, or else means a mistake.
another problem is that there may be multiple answers -- sometimes the problem is not very clear at the beginning. In fact, a lot of problems we encounter in our daily life belong to this type. In order to solve such problems, in addition to trying to clear the problems, we should break the constraints of usual habits and ideas and spread their thoughts from different ways and angles. This is called "divergent thinking". And the answer to this question is often a lot of creative ideas, and it can not be absolutely said which idea. It is best to assess a scenario according to the actual situation.
four, encouraging children to "fantasies"
son to primary school in grade two, one day a math teacher sent a message to us to go and tell us a thing: teaching is entering the direct operation stage, students can follow the teacher's requirements, from low to high order operation, only children From the top to the bottom, the child carries out the inverse calculation. After the teacher points out, he stubbornly goes on his own way.
when we went home for questioning, our son said, "the right side to the right is the trick I want to come out. Listening to the children, we realized that although his son ran against the rules, he revealed a sprouting spirit of originality. So after giving full affirmation to his "finding the trick", we tell him in a good way that the things around him should be observed in many directions, and the results of thinking need to be verified. The standard of verification is to see the actual effect of it. Then we analyze the drawbacks of reverse operation with him. Finally, he resolutely and reluctantly cut off love.
