四、教学反思
以学生为主体本节课以学生为主体,主要目的是让学生掌握阅读技巧,激发学生学习兴趣,为学生们提供自我展示平台,让学生敢于在课堂上发言,不再用单一死板的答案来衡量学生的回答。让学生在轻松的学习环境中,在参与、交流、合作中自我优化。 保证学生阅读时间充足本课所有的问答都是在学生充分阅读本篇文章之后展开的,问题层次由浅入深,需要学生在充分阅读文章后明确问题,分析问题,最后形成解决方案,从而培养学生批判阅读能力。同时,学生还需要迁移创新,将所学知识学以致用以上为本节课的教学的目标要求,对于本节课的分析,还存在以下不足:小组讨论无法兼顾到所有同学 虽然小组讨论是提升学生批判性思维的有效教学手段,学生从不同观点、不同背景进行讨论,能够创设充分质疑分析的批判性思维环境,但小组讨论的形式无法保证每个学生都能参与到讨论中。部分同学内向不自信,参与感较差,或有部分小组讨论之后不敢于积极主动回答问题。对此在教学中,老师应该观察每个小组同学的参与度,帮助学生树立自信。留给学生展示讨论成果时间不足由于时间限制,剖析文章花费了大量课堂时间,之后留给同学们的讨论展示时间较少。评价方式不够多样 对于学生的应答,评价方式应该多样化,及时赞扬学生有利于增强学生自信,提高学生英语学习兴趣。
