In the context of the new curriculum reform,high school politics teachers pay more attention to the learning needs of students in the process of classroom teaching activities,and design teaching programs based on student needs and curriculum objectives to promote the full development of students.However,compared with junior high school,high school political theory knowledge is more abstract,and the increase in theoretical depth is accompanied by an increase in learning difficulty,and even leads to some students’ resistance to political subjects under the increase of learning pressure.Teachers ’teaching work is facing greater challenges.It is necessary to comprehensively use a variety of teaching methods to stimulate students’ enthusiasm for learning in the new era of continuous development of education.Compared with other teaching methods,the motivational teaching method plays an important role in stimulating students’ learning motivation and making them develop in the direction expected by teachers.The research in this article first conceptually explains the motivation and the stimulus teaching method.After studying the relevant theories,it summarizes the characteristics of the stimulus teaching method: high efficiency,creativity,timeliness,permeability and human nature,and then analyzes the application of the motivation teaching method The four important meanings of the political curriculum in high school: to meet the needs of the new curriculum teaching reform;to arouse students’ passion to participate in learning life;to improve the efficiency and quality of classroom teaching;to promote the establishment of a good teacher-student relationship.By observing and interviewing high school politics teachers and students,this article finds that the use of incentive teaching methods in high school politics courses has a certain effect,but there are still problems that need to be paid attention to.The main reason is that teachers have deviations in the use of incentive teaching methods.And questioning;teachers ’lack of motivation ability;some students’ values affect the motivation effect.After digging deeper into the meaning behind the interview outline and strengthening communication with teachers and students,the cause of the problem is analyzed: the teacher’s own conditions for using incentives are insufficient;the environmental foundation for teaching incentives is insufficient;some students are not fully prepared for teaching incentives.On the basis of consulting relevant literature on motivational teaching methods and systematically learning the theoretical knowledge of motivational teaching methods, this paper concludes that the principles of application of motivational teaching methods are pertinent principles,timeliness principles,fairness principles,moderation principles and development principles.Incentive teaching method uses specific methods as target incentive method,role model incentive method,emotion incentive method,competition incentive method and reward and punishment incentive method.Finally,three strategies are proposed to optimize the use of incentive teaching methods in high school political courses: First,teachers should have a deep grasp of incentive theory and practical knowledge,accumulate incentive practical experience and strengthen the professional quality of teaching.By cultivating a harmonious relationship between teachers and students,promote the combination of motivation and class management.Second,create an incentive class environment,encourage competition and cooperation,share and strengthen campus cultural construction,and develop fun incentive activities.Third,through the optimization of the teaching objectives,content,and evaluation of the high school politics curriculum,the motivation is integrated into the course of teaching practice.While these three specific strategies are implemented,society,schools,teachers,and students are required to assist in multi-faceted efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of the application of incentive teaching methods in high school political classrooms. |
