Why can I easily memorize a lot of things when I was a child, but I don’t have the brain when I grow up? Why did some students understand it quickly when they were taking the new lesson? Why do you read a lot of good books and articles, but you can’t remember or use them, and can’t nourish your wisdom?
"Some teachers and parents believe that learning more and remembering more knowledge can bring up children with learning difficulties, which is a big mistake. Teachers and parents must remember at any time that they should not force their children to read continuously, but cultivate their children's wisdom, develop their intelligence and abilities, and teach them to learn to think."
pursues detours in wisdom, many of which are because they have made a basic thing wrong: the brain is not a big pocket, the more stuffed it, the smarter it is.
What supports strong thinking is links, not a large amount of knowledge scattered. What shapes thinking ability is self-education, not external indoctrination.
1. Childhood: Return to daily life, link to physical objects and concepts.
educator Sukhomlinsky said, "The root cause of children is difficult to teach, poor grades, and backward. The reason is education. The environment he was in during his childhood - that is, children did not obtain something crucial to the development of thinking between the ages of one to seven or eight."
Nobel Prize winner Feynman recalled the enlightenment given to him by his father and was grateful: "He gave various examples and discussed it. This inspired my life and made me interested in all scientific fields. This method of education is not difficult. It does not require parents to have a profound academic background, nor does it need to become a professional in a certain field. It only requires you to be able to use the boring numbers, concepts and real life in the book. Connect. "
may be reading Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the content is roughly like this: "This dinosaur is twenty-five feet tall and has a head six feet wide."
The father would stop and say, "Let's think about it, what does that mean?"
" That means if it stands in our yard, it can reach the window with just one stretched its neck. But its head is too big to reach the window. "
" Anything we have read together, my father will try to explain it in real life. In this way, I learned a method - no matter what I read, I always try to figure out what it is saying through this way of thinking. "
just knows a few words, which is useless. Only by linking these words with life and forming a network is understanding.
Children's enlightenment lies in the guidance and enlightenment in daily life. The task of children is to observe and operate real objects, accumulate rich experiences, and provide a solid foundation for abstractly expressing knowledge in the future.
Confucius believes that you can learn poetry first by knowing all things. If a child has never experienced the tranquility, coldness, expectation and excitement of "dawn", then he will not be touched when he reads "dawn" in his book.
When "green, fallen leaves, wind, trees, dusk" becomes a scene and is linked to emotional touch, the child truly understands these symbolic words. In this way, children can slowly develop thinking ability from concrete to abstract and feel emotions from touching the scene. And the excellent place for enlightenment is nature and daily life.
2. Boy: Break out of the textbook and the exam syllabus, linking the ins and outs.
In class, teachers usually spend a lot of effort on "spoke talks". Every word and sentence is implemented. Students translate it once and read it twice together, and the teaching task is basically completed. However, teachers’ introduction and expansion of the article’s background is insufficient. Only by jumping out of the text and returning to the historical background of the article can students be moved and truly understood.
Complete task memorization, thinking is lazy; moving by great stories, emotions are excited, thinking is active.
Sukhomlinsky spent ten years observing the "most advanced students with the highest level of development" and found that these students' non-compulsory and out-of-syllabus knowledge in humanities is several times more than the amount of knowledge specified in the syllabus.
About one-third of the time spent on mental labor by thinking students is spent on reading textbooks, and two-thirds are spent on reading non-compliant books...
All students who read nothing but textbooks have very superficial knowledge in the classroom and transfer all the burden to homework. Because the homework burden is too heavy, they do not have time to read scientific books and magazines, which creates a vicious cycle. ”
3. Youth: Use writing to help think and solidify the links.
read only without thinking, only a momentary touch, and no trace left.
Daily thinking will establish a link between knowledge, but if you don’t write it down, it will soon drift with the wind. In the future, we will recreate the wheel and fall into a low-level cycle.
write some every day, sort out the gains of learning, thinking and practice, and solidify the knowledge and links into "time crystals" in the way of thinking cards, thus building a step up.
Read only, only thinking and not writing, just jumping high on the spot, you can practice from 1 meter to 2 meters, and no one can jump 10 meters high. Writing it down is to build steps and climb a mountain step by step, you can climb a mountain hundreds of meters and kilometers high.
If you want to digest a new knowledge, you need good understanding and related old knowledge to link it. The reason why a new knowledge is awesome is not that it can link to it, but that the knowledge network is very awesome, giving people a sense of enlightenment.
Understand the key at first glance, create inspiration, avoid local obstacles in decision-making, block the throat with one sword in action, express accurately in communication, and point directly to the hearts of persuasion. Where does such power come from? An important source of
is: many nodes and many links, and a knowledge base that can effectively explain and predict real-world mechanisms. The existence form of this knowledge base can be human brain memory or external card library.
directly uses other people's card library, which is not very useful. For me, this knowledge may be just an island, but it still needs to be actively digested and linked. Only in this way can we know where this knowledge comes from, what it can do, and where it is powerful.
instilling rote memory and repeating the questions in class. It seems to be a shortcut and no waste. In fact, wisdom is difficult to grow, and this cannot be long-term.
Growth is to enrich your knowledge network for a long time and continuously. The process of establishing a link requires slowness as fast and hard work.
