24、老师的表情和语调之类的小细节也是很有必要的。说话比平时更用力，或者表情严肃地强调的那个部分几乎百分之百地会出现在考试中。但是如果坐在后面，那种重要的提示就全都错过了。与此相反，如果坐在前面，首先心情就很不同，自己比别人靠前的感觉让你听课时的态度变得更积极。与老师眼神交会的机会增多，感觉就好像是老师在做一对一个人辅导。有的学生恰恰就是因为这一点，讨厌坐在前面。和老师眼神交会非常有负担，稍微做点儿小动作就会被老师发现，非常不方便。而且坐在前面说不定还会被问到一些难以回答的问题。但是，那却是提升成绩最快的方法。学习要带有一定程度的紧张感，坐在前面，自然而然就会紧张起来。没有必要自己费心思集中精神，那
25、种环境就能帮助你做到。虽然看上去好像不太方便，但其实那才是最便于学习的位置。2 2、不要看书，要看老师的眼睛、不要看书，要看老师的眼睛只要老师不是在一味地读教材，那老师的“话”就不可能和你低头看着的教材上的“文字”一致。头脑聪明的学生，也许能做到既集中精神听老师的话，又集中精神看眼前书上的内容。可是实际上大部分的学生都做不到这一点。认真听讲的第一个阶段就是上课时间无条件地“往前看”，上课的时候看书往往很容易开小差。摒除杂念，将视线从摊在眼前的书上移开。老师讲课的时候只看前面，集中注意力听老师嘴里说出来的话，那才是认真听讲的态度。低着头，心情就放松了，但那种放松对学习一点好处也没有，之所以会放松
26、，就是因为觉得即便是自己开小差，老师也不知道。如果你往前看，不时地和老师眼神交会一下，注意力必然会集中起来。和老师眼神交汇的那种紧张感会让你注意力集中，并充实地听完整堂课。3 3、课前预习、课前预习课前预习新课内容，找出不理解的地方标记下来。预习后尝试做课后练习题，不要怕出错，因为老师还没有讲，出错也是正常的。关键是，出错了你就知道上课时应该重点听哪里，注意力自然就能集中了。4 4、即便上课时不理解也不要放弃、即便上课时不理解也不要放弃有些同学觉得老师讲的听不懂，就干脆不再听讲，按照自己的方法去学习。其实这样做真的很傻，因为不听讲就非常容易和同学们的学习进度脱节，这就会直接导致考试时成绩下降。原因是，老师讲的内容不一定都在教材中体现，有相当一部分重点内容是老师在上课时补充讲解的，如果不听讲很可能就会错过这些重点。所以，上课的时间一定要专注于课堂，决不能打开别的习题集去学习，这样才是高效率的学习，才是提高成绩最快的方法。因此，困难也要先听课，那对你将来的自学一定会很有帮助，哪怕你只是记住了一些经常出现的术语，上课的内容好像马上就忘光了，但等到你日后自己学习的时候，也能让你回想起很多内容。2023-8-3教学资料精选36谢谢欣赏！谢谢欣赏！2023-8-3教学资料精选37
