Psychological and pedagogical features of teaching mathematics to primary school students
Teaching primary school students will be successful if the teacher has the skills that follow from psychological and pedagogical knowledge about the features of attention. Usually, an ordinary teacher uses the technique of setting attention when he says: “Be attentive.” This setting is designed for children’s voluntary attention and requires some volitional effort from them, so they quickly get tired and distracted. This setting only works for a short time. If the teacher starts asking the student who is currently distracted, then, of course, he cannot answer. The teacher starts making a remark to the student, reproaches him. This leads to an increase in mental stress, causes negative emotions in the student. How to avoid this?
