The value and significance of problem solving oriented teaching

Emphasis was placed on the importance of cultivating students' problem-solving abilities, believing that this is the key to developing students' core competencies. The "Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" advocate guiding students to apply their learned knowledge to solve practical problems, form correct attitudes and value judgments in English learning. Problem oriented English teaching helps to enhance students' English language and learning abilities, while promoting the development of thinking qualities. Teachers should guide students to use various thinking methods, such as observation and analysis, comparison and classification, in the process of solving problems, in order to promote language learning and develop logical thinking, dialectical thinking, and innovative thinking.

The main characteristics of problem solving oriented teaching

The core of problem solving oriented teaching lies in integrating learning into complex contexts, solving real problems through collaborative exploration, and stimulating higher-order thinking. The teaching process is designed with problems as the main thread, cultivating students' ability to use English knowledge to solve practical problems. The teaching steps include raising questions, analyzing problems, solving problems, and refining problem-solving methods through testing, summarizing, and evaluating, promoting the synchronous development of students' thinking and language.

Problem solving oriented teaching practice

Deeply explored the design and practice of problem solving oriented primary school English teaching. Firstly, the importance of posing driving questions in instructional design was emphasized, which should be genuine, meaningful, and able to stimulate students' interest. By decomposing driving problems into core and sub problems, forming a problem chain, teachers can construct a logically clear and interconnected teaching unit. Taking Module 8 of Grade 5, Volume 2 of "English" as an example, this paper demonstrates how to connect major unit topics with students' real-life situations, set the driving question "What makes a good presentation?", and decompose it into three core questions and their sub questions to form a problem map.

conclusion

The importance of problem solving oriented primary school English teaching design was emphasized, and by refining the teaching design path, students' ability to solve problems in English was cultivated. Teachers design driving questions based on textbook discourse, break them down into core problem chains, and guide students to discover, analyze, and solve problems. The teaching process focuses on developing students' language skills, thinking qualities, and forming correct attitudes and value judgments. This teaching method not only updates teaching methods, but also advocates for new values in English education.
