First, the difficulties and pressures faced by young teachers
1. Weak basic teaching skills
Most young teachers are master students and doctoral students who have just left the university, and their basic teaching skills are relatively weak. Their knowledge is not rich, but teaching is a science and an art. As the saying goes, "water under the bridge", most young teachers don't prepare lessons, thinking that preparing lessons means "reciting lessons" and "reciting textbooks"; They don't know how to teach. They think that teaching is to read the textbook through in class, or play the so-called "multimedia slide courseware" they made, and everything will be fine after reading it through. They don't organize teaching. In class, they "read books" on it, while the students below do everything, such as making phone calls, texting, talking, sleeping, being late, sneaking around and so on. The whole class has one word-chaos. Young teachers feel that they spend a lot of time reciting lessons and textbooks, but they dare not compliment them. They feel great pressure, which is far from their own imagination. They are anxious, depressed and depressed.
2. The scientific research ability and practical ability are relatively poor.
Young teachers who have just taken up their jobs are facing the pressure of scientific research. They are new here and can't work in the research room without research funds. Now we all know that the promotion of college titles depends on their own thesis level and scientific research level. Without any item, the promotion of professional titles can only be an armchair strategist. Most of the young teachers are master's and doctoral students who have just left the university. Some of them have theoretical knowledge, but lack practical experience. Now college students will face employment in the future, and many enterprises resent college students' low vision and are unwilling to accept fresh graduates. Therefore, the practical ability of young college teachers also needs to be improved and strengthened.
3. Young teachers are also under great psychological pressure.
Young teachers who just go to work are facing psychological pressure. At present, many colleges and universities pay more attention to the psychological health of college students, but not enough attention to the psychological problems of young teachers. Young teachers are faced with many psychological problems.
(1) Most of the young teachers facing the problem of identity transformation are students who have just left the university. I used to study, live and work under the guidance of my tutor. After going to work, they should know about students' life, study and work.
(2) Young teachers facing the problem of job adaptation are mainly engaged in teaching and scientific research. Insufficient teaching experience, insufficient scientific research ability and hopeless promotion of professional titles will all cause psychological pressure on young teachers.
(3) the pressure of life. The housing, marriage and family problems of young teachers are more important issues in teaching and scientific research. Due to the rising house prices, the wages of young teachers are relatively low, and the price contrast between buying and selling houses has caused the ideological pressure of young teachers. In addition, among young teachers, especially in science colleges, the proportion of female teachers is relatively high. As a result of studying wholeheartedly during the student period, there is no time to fall in love, or even if they fall in love, many people break up because their work units are not together; They are not married, or divorced because of the separation after marriage. Therefore, the marriage problem of young teachers in colleges and universities is also a realistic problem that can not be ignored, because a stable marriage can better complete teaching and scientific research.
Second, ways to train young teachers
Young teachers are the main force of college teachers at present. In view of the problems existing in young teachers, it is imperative and urgent to do a good job in training young teachers in colleges and universities.
1. Relieve the pressure of young teachers and carry out mental health education for young teachers. In recent years, colleges and universities have paid attention to the mental health of college students, but not enough attention to the mental health education of young teachers [2]. They all have mental illness more or less, which is manifested as anxiety and depression, and some young teachers even took the road of suicide. It is suggested that the party and government trade unions in colleges and universities actively communicate with young teachers, eliminate their concerns, and implement humanized management for young teachers, so that they can successfully complete the role transformation from students to teachers.
2. Theoretical study organizes young teachers to carry out theoretical study, study pedagogy, psychology, mental health education and teachers' professional ethics, and let young teachers know that teachers are not only imparting professional knowledge, but also educating people first. While demanding students, we should first learn to be a teacher, influence students with our own words and deeds, and make students become qualified college students with ideals, morality, culture and discipline.
3. Teaching, scientific research and practical ability
(1) The mentoring role of the old teacher [3] The old teacher has rich experience and can let the old teacher play the mentoring role. Young teachers are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but lack experience. Young teachers learn from old teachers, their spirit of preparing lessons, their teaching skills, their classroom management and their teaching ability.
(2) Organize experienced young teachers to observe and evaluate classes. Young teachers can observe the classroom of experienced young teachers and see their teaching attitude, their multimedia slide production, their teaching experience, teaching content, the relationship between teaching content and the interaction between teachers and students in the classroom. And then point out the advantages and disadvantages of the teachers through after-class evaluation, so as to improve their teaching level.
(3) Invite some experts and scholars to give special lectures. Experts and scholars are elites in different directions. By inviting experts and scholars to give lectures to young teachers in colleges and universities, young teachers can understand the frontier trends of different disciplines, understand the relationship between different disciplines and the latest research hotspots of various disciplines, and lay a good foundation for cultivating interdisciplinary innovation ability.
(4) Improve the scientific research level of young teachers. The scientific research level of young teachers is relatively weak. Colleges and universities can support and encourage young teachers to join teams with scientific research ability, intensify efforts to set up special fund projects for youth scientific research, and improve their scientific research ability.
Young teachers who go abroad for further study generally have good knowledge of English, because English is a compulsory subject for postgraduate entrance examination, and their English scores must reach a certain score before they can be admitted. However, college students' English is only written, and their oral English is generally poor. In view of this situation, it is suggested that colleges and universities send young teachers to study abroad as visiting scholars for international, inter-school and inter-college study and exchange, so as to improve the bilingual teaching level of the whole school.
In short, only by doing a good job in training young teachers in colleges and universities can we improve their teaching and scientific research ability, improve the overall level of college teachers and cultivate more outstanding and qualified college students, which will be conducive to the development of colleges and universities and social progress.
