How do students adjust their mentality after failing the exam?

Examinations can be a good test of students\’ learning effects and are a \”scale\” to measure students\’ mastery of knowledge. But exams are just a means, and improvement is the goal. Different students will have obvious emotional differences when facing failure in exams. Negative emotions will not only affect students\’ healthy mentality, but also have a negative impact on future learning. Therefore, reasonable guidance for students who fail in exams is beneficial to students\’ physical and mental health. At the same time, it can also be used as an entry point to discover problems existing in students\’ study and life, and then help them improve their overall quality. So, how to help students get over the shadow of exam failure? Ma Zhifang, a primary school student at Pukou Experimental Primary School in Jiangbei New District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, faced failure in the exam. Students can easily fall into the mood of failure and find it difficult to extricate themselves. So, how to help students get over the shadow of exam failure? 1. Get spiritual healing while venting your emotions. When students fail in exams and feel depressed, it is important to vent their negative emotions. Teachers should guide students to describe their emotional feelings, be an active listener, put themselves in the students\’ shoes, and empathize with them, so that students can experience that the teacher \”is willing to pay attention to me.\” In the process of confiding, students can gain the emotional experience of being cared for and develop a sense of security, satisfaction and self-worth, which can help alleviate the pain caused by failure in exams. At the same time, students can also \”see\” and understand themselves better, gain energy, and receive spiritual healing in this process. In addition, students can also be guided to use the two positive emotional factors of family and friendship and adopt appropriate ways to vent their emotions. For example, watching movies with your family, chatting with classmates, going mountain climbing as a family… In the process, the anxiety, pain, loss and other emotions caused by failure in the exam will be well vented and relieved. 2. Discover your own energy in self-awareness. Teachers should guide students to make reasonable attributions, better understand themselves, and guide students to accept their own limitations and accept unsatisfactory results. Only by learning to accept failures in exams can they care for themselves more. Through constant awareness, students will discover that good times and bad times are the normal state of life. Only by learning to constantly solve problems can the foundation of life be richer. In this process, teachers should help students find and see their own positive potential and strength, strive to build a certain situation, guide students to discover their own energy, and find solutions to problems. Teach children how to adjust their mentality and handle emotions correctly. 3. Draw strength from adjusting expectations. Facing failure in exams, the reason why students feel like a failure and have doubts about themselves is largely because the gap between psychological expectations and reality is too big. At this time, we need to guide students to adjust their expectations, rationally analyze their performance before, during and after the exam, and provide understanding, help and construction. In fact, every student\’s heart is filled with the desire to be discovered, affirmed, and praised. For students who fail in exams, teachers should pay positive attention and convey a \”you can do it\” vision. In the process of adjusting expectations, students\’ mentality will become stable, because appropriate psychological expectations will not only stimulate students\’ personal potential, but also reduce interference factors and eliminateSelf-doubt and draw the strength to forge ahead. Chongqing Bashu Science City Middle School Yu Haiyang\’s high school students\’ learning cannot be separated from examinations, and the final results are also reflected through the college entrance examination. Since it is an examination, there will naturally be scores and comparative successes and failures. Many students are caught up in the exam results, either sad or happy, and ignore the significance of the exam itself. It is of very important practical significance to help students quickly get out of the shadow of exam failure and face the exam better, so as to maximize the exam effect. Students who fail in exams may have emotional problems because their expectations for themselves are too high, resulting in a relatively large psychological gap. It may also be because their unsatisfactory class rankings have hit their self-esteem, or they may lack the ability to face poor results. Courage, insufficient ability to resist setbacks, etc. The root cause of these problems lies in students\’ insufficient understanding of their actual situation and lack of rational analysis of the exam itself. I mainly help students regain their confidence in the following aspects. First, guide students to learn reasonable attribution and actively face the results. In order to help students get out of the shadow of failure in exams, we must guide students to realize that exams are only for understanding and understanding themselves. Where the problem lies and what to do next are what you need to do after the exam. To this end, based on the KSM test paper analysis method and learning from other people\’s practices, I made a post-exam analysis table for the class to guide students to discover their own problems subject by subject and question by question. For example, most students lose a lot of skill points, which is very different from their actual level. This is often due to insufficient standardization in daily practice, or insufficient proficiency, etc. Only after students truly discover their own problems can they proactively think about next steps. Secondly, conduct a post-exam summary and draw on the help of others. After each exam, I will conduct a grand post-exam summary and commendation. The commendation is not only for students with outstanding performance, but also for daily study and regular performance, etc., to affirm students from different perspectives. Every summary meeting will have a learning and exchange program, and five or six students who have made the most progress, have the highest single subject, have excellent overall results, class committee members, dormitory directors, etc. will be invited to the stage to share. The students happily shared their experiences and communicated insufficiently. At the end of the activity, the group will conduct in-depth reflection and summary, and jointly formulate next development measures to encourage and supervise each other. At this time, students with unsatisfactory grades will also be encouraged, and with the help of their classmates, they will be more motivated to devote themselves to the next study. Provide process feedback again and strengthen action guidance. The class teacher cannot imagine that everything can be solved through one conversation or one activity. He also needs to continue to follow up so that students can gain the motivation to continue to improve from the teacher\’s attention. I still remember my classmate Little A who I took care of in my senior year of high school last year. She usually had excellent grades. As the eldest of three children in the family, his parents have high expectations for him. But after entering her senior year of high school, her grades deteriorated again and again under frequent exams, and her academic status became worse and worse. I made an agreement with her to communicate once a week, mainly to let her tell me about her gains and shortcomings in her studies this week, as well as the problems exposed in the test and the effects of related measures. In the end, this girl passed the exam with excellent results. Zhejiang Universitystudy. I feel that while helping students get out of failure, we should also provide pre-exam guidance and cultivate students\’ correct outlook on exams, so that students can make good use of exam tools, practice in exams, and improve in summary.
