"Simon Learning Method" four steps make learning simple and efficient
The exam is coming soon. The child is anxious and gets up early and goes to bed late every day, but he still can't finish his homework, let alone reviewing independently. When the mother sees it, she is anxious and doesn't know how to help the child. Have you had this experience?
As the saying goes: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. In fact, learning requires attitude and more importantly, methods. If you master good learning methods, you can get twice the result with half the effort in the learning process. So, what are the effective and good methods in the learning process? How can we significantly improve our learning ability in a short period of time?
There is a way to solve this problem, which is Simon's learning method. Simon's learning method is a learning method adopted by scientists Herbert Alexander Simon's .
Simon is known as the "father of artificial intelligence ". He is not only the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in , but also helped China create the discipline of cognitive psychology. I believe that he can achieve such great achievements and must have a good learning method.
The book "Simon Learning Method" summarizes a set of effective learning methods, which can teach us how to quickly learn new knowledge in a short period of time.
Book Cover
The author of this book, You Rong Fangluo, is an elite team under a famous consulting company. The team includes "academic top" who graduated from Oxford University , London University and Tsinghua University , best-selling author, as well as many well-known companies such as the Fortune 500 and other well-known companies and entrepreneurs who uphold the concept of lifelong learning.
1. Celebrity formula
Einstein believes that success = correct method x work hard x talk less nonsense; Kazuo Inamori believes that the result = thinking mode x enthusiasm x ability; while Simon believes that learning = positive learning motivation x effective learning methods x necessary time investment.
Madame Curie said: "The concentration of knowledge is like the tip of a cone, and the continuity of time is like constantly drilling forward." Madame Curie's sentence speaks the core principle of Simon's learning method. Simon's learning and research focus on problems.
2. Case Learning Method
Simon believes that the best way to learn is to learn through cases. Why is the case-based learning method better?
Because this method does not simply memorize information, but directly applies the information to the process of solving practical problems, and constantly applies the theoretical knowledge learned to the cases. It is this application of different scenarios that makes people's brain constantly build and reshape the knowledge system.
Let’s think about it: Why do school textbooks usually add exercise questions after knowledge? By applying knowledge in practice, it is easier for people to understand and master knowledge. Therefore, teachers have to assign homework every night to learn and apply the knowledge learned during the day.
3.Four steps to make learning simple and efficient
. In essence, it is to do the questions better. Even if there is no exam, we should do the questions. The process of doing the questions is a few key steps from "remembering" to "knowing", to "familiarity", and then to "skill".
1. Note. The first stage of learning
is to remember. If you understand it in class, you may just simply remember it to form information memory. This is the shallowest perception of knowledge and belongs to the lowest level of "learning".
At this stage, knowledge has not really become one of our own. We just remember what the teacher said or what was written in the textbook.In this state, we not only do not really master the knowledge, but also find it difficult to deal with the exam. Therefore, we need to transform knowledge into skills by doing the questions.
2. Will. The second stage of learning
is to do it. At this time, we can solve the questions independently and answer the questions correctly. In the process of solving the problem, we will form an empirical memory of the use of formulas and theorems, know how this knowledge is presented in the question and what role it plays.
Starting from this stage, the formulas and concepts you remember begin to be transformed into personal skills. However, the mastery of skills is not proficient enough, and the problem-solving speed is often slow, or the answers are incorrect.
3. Cooked. The third stage of learning
is to be familiar with it. At this stage, we have mastered the problem-solving skills relatively well and can handle exams of general difficulty.
At this time, we formed method memory. When solving problems, we do not need to think about what formulas and theorems look like, and we can use them subconsciously.
After we reach this stage, we must discover our own knowledge blind spots through the wrong questions and move our skills to a higher level.
4. The fourth stage of learning
is a coincidence. One question has more solutions, one question has more solutions, and learn from one example. At this time, we formed learning transfer, which means being able to apply knowledge memory to a whole new scenario. Its manifestation is that putting forward clever problem-solving ideas can even make the teacher amazed.
students who have reached this level are very few "school masters". But the prerequisite for reaching this level is of course to do a lot of questions.
is reliable to invest a lot of time in practice, because it is not enough that we can gradually improve until we reach the "skill". This road seems very long, but it is a shortcut to learning.
4. Writing at the end
Learning is a slow process, but if you understand and master some good methods, it will become simple and efficient.
Chairman Huang Ling, said: "This book explains the learning method thoroughly, so that people can understand, learn and use it. We recommend that all those who hope to change their destiny through learning to collect this book."
