Teaching reflection:
In this lesson,I taught the basic knowledge of economics,which mainly focused on the change of prices and the relationship between supply and demand.Through lecture and discussion,students
11
have a preliminary understanding of the basic principles of economics.However,I also found some problems that need to be improved.
First of all,I found that in the class practice activities, the students'understanding of the concepts was not deep enough.Although they were able to pick out the right answers,they were not clear enough about the practical application of these concepts and the principles behind them.Therefore,I think in the future teaching,I should strengthen the explanation of application examples,so that students can better understand and apply these concepts.
Secondly,I find that students are not engaged enough.Although I encourage students to speak up and ask questions,there are still some students who are reluctant to actively participate in class discussions.I realized it might have something to do with students'knowledge of economics and the atmosphere in the classroom.Therefore,I decided to
12
use more interactive teaching methods such as group discussions and role playing in the next class to stimulate students'interest and engagement.
In general,I think the teaching effect of this lesson is OK,but there are still some shortcomings.By analyzing the problems in detail and proposing improvement plans,I hope to better guide and stimulate students'interest in learning in the future teaching,so as to improve the teaching effect.
