Слайд 1What is motivation, and what can teachers do to help "motivate"
students?
what does it mean to develop a positive mathematical disposition?
Describe some strategies that can be used to promote positive dispositions and counter mathematics anxiety of students.
Слайд 2Motivation is the basis of any independent activity.
Motivation means investing a
person's resources, such as:
energy,
time,
knowledge,
talent,
will, etc.
in achieving the desired goal.
Слайд 3To increase the motivation
of students,
teachers usually offer:
Слайд 4to provide students with a sense of progress, experiencing success in
activities, for which it is necessary to correctly select the level of complexity of assignments and deservedly evaluate the result of the activity;
use all the possibilities of the educational material in order to interest students, put problems, activate independent thinking;
to organize the cooperation of students in the lesson, mutual assistance, positive attitude of the group to the subject and study as a whole;
Слайд 5it is right to build a relationship with students, be interested
in their successes, have authority;
to see the individuality of each student, to motivate everyone, relying on the motives already available to the student;
some students have to be forced to learn, constantly encouraged or punished, to involve parents for joint control.
Слайд 6Teaching mathematics is primarily a solution of problems.
Therefore, tasks are
the main motivation environment for students.
The ability to solve problems is a criterion for the success of teaching mathematics.
Слайд 7Factors contributing to the development of positive motivation:
Слайд 8I. Novelty of content:
Obtaining or displaying through the task of new
mathematical information for students.
Inclusion in the content of the task of new general information for students (information reflecting the life of the country, the city, the technical school, the group, information related to the life of the animal and plant world, facts that reflect intersubject communications, etc.)
Слайд 9II. Reflection of connection with practice
If the student sees in the
problem being solved the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in practice (in everyday life, when studying other subjects, etc.), then there is interest in its solution.
Tasks from the practice of everyday life:
One bank promises a profit to the depositor of 2% per month, and the other - 25% per annum. Where is it more profitable to invest money?
Kilowatt - an hour of electricity costs 3 rubles. 10 kop. The electricity meter on July 1 showed 8637 kilowatt-hours, and on August 1 - 8805 kilowatt-hours. How much (in rubles) should I pay for using electricity in July?
The taxi driver made 180 trips for 40 km each month, spending 18144 rubles on gasoline. How many liters per 100 km was the average driver used, if he bought gasoline at a price of 24 rubles. per liter?
The task of working in a carpentry workshop:
At what equal distance from each other and from the ends of the ladder can you arrange 7 steps with a width of 4 cm on a ladder 2 m long 68 cm?
The task associated with basic construction:
How many linear meters of linoleum in width of 2 m it is required for a floor covering in length of 5 m or in length of 8 m?
Слайд 10III. Reflection of the historical aspect
Tasks with a "historical" plot can
bear somebody's name, reflect facts from the life of specific historical figures, contain information from the history of the country, science, technology, etc.
For example:
Representatives from 40 countries, 1 artist from each country, take part in the Eurovision song contest. All performances are broken by a toss-up for 2 semifinals, 20 performances each. The order of performance in the semifinals is also determined by drawing lots. What is the probability that the speech of the representative of Russia will take place in the second semifinal and will not be earlier than 12 on the score?
Слайд 11IV. Entertaining
In the lessons of mathematics, we need tasks and exercises
that would revive the lesson. Such tasks with an entertaining plot develop ingenuity, natural wit. The interest in the content of the task stains the teaching material in a special way, makes the decision process more attractive, acts as an emotional basis, on which a positive attitude to the subject is created.
For example:
The coin is thrown several times so that each time with equal probability, the "Eagle" or "Tails" drops out. Find the probability that with 4 tossing coins and "Eagle" and "Tails" fall once?
Слайд 12V. Non-standard question
One of the important factors is the formulation of
the question of the type problem: "Will it suffice?", "Will it succeed?" "Is it fifty-fifty?", "who is faster?", "what can you find in the task, prove it?" and so on. It is interesting to consider the problems "without questions". Such tasks teach students to consider all sorts of conclusions from these parcels, which is extremely necessary in the solution of many problems of proof, in the proof of various theorems.
Achievements of technical progress, especially in the field of informatization, are met with particular enthusiasm by the students. And of course, it is necessary to use the curiosity and high cognitive activity of students for the purposeful development of their personality.
Слайд 13All this is required to know the teacher so that the
formation of positive motivation in the learning activity was successful.
