How to Cultivate Students' Creativity in Information Technology Teaching

First, arouse students' creative consciousness and stimulate their creative passion.

Creativity includes creative intention, creative thinking quality and creative skills. Creative thinking quality is the center of gravity. The process of creative thinking can be roughly divided into four stages: preparation stage, brewing stage, epiphany stage and inspection stage. The key to the four stages is the epiphany stage. Epiphany must have the necessary psychological environment, which is mainly manifested in the pursuit of active acquisition of information technology knowledge, strong interest in information technology disciplines and persistent research spirit on information technology issues.

Educational theory holds that "the art of teaching lies not only in imparting skills, but also in inspiring, awakening and inspiring students." Cultivating students' creativity in information technology teaching also needs to "inspire, awaken and inspire students".

1.

When students are interested in the characteristics and contents of information technology, it will arouse their innovative consciousness. Therefore, when preparing lessons, we should try our best to tap the creative thinking factors of the subject and stimulate students' creative consciousness. For example, in the first class, we first asked such a question: "What role does information technology play in our study and life?" Students answer according to their own experience: computers can type; Can play games; It can be seen that DVDs can assist learning ... We then asked: "Information technology has so many uses around us, so what is its application in society?" Because students have limited social experience, they find this problem a bit difficult. At this time, we combine the characteristics of information technology to explain the application of information technology in the information society. When students learn that the weather forecast they watch every day is calculated by computer, and the automatic washing machine, microwave oven and electronic watch on their wrists are controlled by computer programs, they feel very magical, thus generating a strong thirst for knowledge and active interest in exploration.

2. Use students' curiosity and competitiveness to stimulate their creative passion.

Curiosity is a psychological tendency to explore new, special and strange things. Students will ask all kinds of questions about the new information they perceive, and then they will have the desire to analyze and think deeply. Teachers should use this psychology to stimulate students' creative passion. For example, once, in the class of "Information Technology and Information Society", I asked the students, "Recently, a great event happened in China's information industry. Do you know what it is? " Students shook their heads, eager to know the answer. I told them that this grand meeting is a joint cooperation between Lenovo, the largest information technology industry group in China, and Kingsoft, a software giant in China. As we all know, Lenovo Group is the darling of China's information industry hardware field, while Jinshan Company stands out in China's software industry. This combination of "hard" and "soft" will certainly promote the development of China's information industry. Through this incident, I introduced the gap between China's information industry and some developed countries, with special emphasis on the attempt of Microsoft Corporation of the United States to monopolize China's software industry, and the difficulties experienced by WPS of Jinshan Company in the development process as the only Chinese character processing software competing with Microsoft Word, which made the students realize that China's information industry needs all China people, including them, to catch up with the world. Therefore, students are more eager to learn information technology represented by computer technology, which has aroused strong creative passion.

Second, pay attention to personality development and cultivate creative will.

1. Respect personality development and establish a new teacher-student relationship.

Respecting students' personality plays an important role in cultivating their creativity. In teaching, I attach great importance to students' personality development, which runs through the whole teaching activity and establishes a new relationship between teachers and students. As American educator Robert makin said, "when teachers fully understand students, realize the genius of each student, and inspire and guide students not only to successfully achieve excellent results beyond their past level, but also to achieve the expected goals they think they should achieve, the requirements in the mission will become more practical." Personalized education has become a tool to encourage students' self-confidence, but more importantly, it creates a different responsibility system between teachers and students, that is, a spirit of joint responsibility, to ensure the quality of learning and the substantial improvement of learning effect. "

I pay attention to the application of educational technology theory in practice and form a new way of thinking, that is, I believe that all students have learning ability and are willing to learn well. At the beginning of the first class of each freshman, I asked the students to answer a questionnaire to find out their mastery of information technology and their attitude towards it. Almost all the students expressed their willingness to study hard and hope to get help from their teachers. I am moved by the children's thirst for knowledge, and I firmly believe that as long as they are treated fairly, each of them can make progress and create something. At the same time, I am also convinced that a caring and personalized classroom is centered on promoting the most fundamental teaching objectives; In such a class, all students should be welcomed no matter how they study. In the computer practice class, I divide the students into groups. The students discuss problems with each other, learn to think and concentrate on their studies, boldly show their intelligence and express their opinions, and achieve the goal of mutual promotion. In the group, students gradually realize that learning needs unity and cooperation, not just competition, and then feel that the whole class, school and even the country are closely related to their own interests, and they must not only consider personal progress and success. At ordinary times, I try to understand students and let them express their opinions fully. In this environment where students can feel respect, trust and encouragement, they can study energetically and concentrate on acquiring knowledge and ability.

In the process of teaching, some students show no interest in QBASIC learning, thinking that this part of the content is "not as fun as games". I gave them a sentence: "There are not only sugar and honey in life, but also tea and coffee." If you eat too much sugar and honey, you may not feel sweet or even bitter, while tea and coffee may feel bitter for the first time, but you will feel sweet and fragrant after careful tasting. The same is true of learning. Longing for comfort, it is difficult to learn real skills. In this regard, I ask students to "challenge the concept of pursuing comfort and enhance their learning ability." At the same time, I also remind myself that it is my unshirkable responsibility to improve students' learning ability.

In class, my good relationship with students has also cultivated students' studious atmosphere. I call on students to become "explorers" and ask them to show their talents in the face of equal teacher-student relationship. Students can feel relaxed and show their knowledge and skills in the usual way. The improvement of students' academic performance and the exertion of students' creativity all come from the respect and trust of teachers.

2. Respect students' subjective spirit and cultivate initiative.

Without initiative, you can't fully tap the potential creativity. In the teaching process, I not only pay attention to the leading role of teachers, but also pay attention to mobilizing students' initiative and enthusiasm. I often think: how can we maximize the potential of students? Have they learned to study? As a combination of knowledge and skills, information technology courses pay special attention to students' practice. During my computer internship, I always ask questions for students to solve. At first, some students were afraid of difficulties and highly dependent. I hope the teacher can give a solution to the problem. I deliberately ignored them and didn't allow my neighbor's classmates to help me. These students who want to be lazy have to explore for themselves. When they finally solve the problem by themselves, they are particularly excited and have a sense of accomplishment, and they are willing to take the initiative to explore ways to solve the problem in the future. This not only stimulates students' enthusiasm for active learning, but also inspires students' creative thinking; It not only improves students' ability to handle problems independently, but also cultivates students' creative will. Some students said in the summary of the information technology learning stage: "The biggest gain is that you can explore other knowledge and skills by yourself through basic knowledge." I think this kind of harvest of students is the greatest harvest of teachers!

Third, pay attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and cultivate innovative talents.

At present, the country has put forward the teaching principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but due to the influence of many factors, it is difficult to teach students in accordance with their aptitude in our basic education, but the characteristics of information technology determine that teaching students in accordance with their aptitude can be well implemented in information technology teaching. Our students come from different families and graduated from different primary schools. Some students have studied information technology courses in primary schools; Some people have computers at home; Some students won prizes in municipal competitions; Others have never touched a computer. In view of this situation, task-driven teaching is adopted, and the teaching process is divided into basic skills learning stage and knowledge application stage, which can achieve good teaching effect. Learning the basic operation of application software requires students to follow the method given by the teacher, which is more suitable for the initial teaching of each chapter. After all the students have mastered the basic operation of the software, they can be allowed to play freely and use the skills they have learned to complete the assigned tasks. For example, the task of "sending an email" is to send an email. The content of the email can be customized by students, and the content of students with slow Chinese character input can be shorter. In this way, the gap between students is narrowing, and all students' operational skills and creative thinking have been improved and brought into play to varying degrees.

Fourth, set up interest groups to cultivate students' specialties.

Through the establishment of information technology interest groups, organize some students with high information skills and love information technology, and give full guidance by using extracurricular activities. Let them learn more advanced information technology knowledge and give them some practical tasks, such as learning more advanced web page making tools, being responsible for making and maintaining the web pages of our class and even our school, and participating in the making activities of teachers' courseware. , can give full play to students' personality and cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability. When students' own achievements suddenly appear on the Internet, not only the creators themselves, but also other students can feel that innovation is not far away from them.

In short, how to make students meet the learning challenges and cultivate them to face and be familiar with a complex, confusing and ever-changing world bravely? While thinking about these problems, I firmly believe that it is more important to respect students' personality development, improve their comprehensive quality and cultivate their healthy growth than to teach them knowledge itself. When students' personality is developed, their comprehensive quality is improved and they grow up healthily, their creativity will undoubtedly be fully developed.
