Teaching reflection:
In the course of this lesson,students have a basic understanding of the basic concepts of economics and the principles of consumer behavior.Through class discussions and reading texts,they developed a deeper understanding of "needs"and "wants"and became aware of how advertising influenced their purchasing decisions.
However,there are some problems in the teaching of this lesson:
First of all,classroom interaction in teaching is not active enough.Most of the time,the teacher explains and the students passively accept the knowledge.This may lead to low interest and initiative among students.In order to increase student participation,more interactive forms such as group discussions and roleplaying can be employed.
10
Secondly,the feedback in teaching is not timely and accurate enough.Teachers should pay more attention to observe students'learning and give timely feedback to students in combination with class discussion and practice.This can help students correct mistakes in time and consolidate what they have learned.
Finally,the case analysis and practical application in teaching are not enough.In order to better help students understand and apply what they have learned,more practical cases and situations can be introduced,and students can be encouraged to carry out practical tasks and activities.
All in all,through the teaching reflection of this lesson,1 realized that more attention should be paid to students' participation and feedback,and the teaching methods of case analysis and practical application should be more fully applied. In the next teaching,I willtake some improvement methods to improve the teaching effect and students'learning interest.
