This is an article about children's thinking and cognition when going to school - ②
In the past, I wrote some articles based on my feelings in an unsystematic manner. I did not follow the crowd and also complemented many popular articles. It was not that I was independent, but that I further accompanied my children to learn. I found that learning is not simply about answering questions, doing questions, and studying hard.
Learning requires methods, learning requires thinking, learning requires skills
Hello everyone!
I am a parent who accompanies my children to study, "not a teacher, not an expert". Learning requires not only the child's thinking, memory and association ability, but also the parents' cognition. If you are also a parent, read it carefully and gain some knowledge, and your children's achievements will also improve a lot. " Parents' cognition determines the ceiling of their children's achievements. "
Who doesn't know how to write ? Repeat the questions, do this and that, and do all the question types you can see. Is it possible with
? You can’t finish even if you’re exhausted!
Therefore, we need to be skillful in answering questions.
It also takes four steps to complete the test. In other words, it takes four steps to complete the test before it is considered successful.
Next, I will explain the four steps according to the steps of answering the questions. I hope it will inspire you to answer the questions.
1. The first step of answering questions... Simple Gradient
The stupidest way to answer questions is to repeat the questions a lot, that is, no matter what the question is, just do it when you see it, and it doesn't matter whether you have done it before or whether you know how to do it. It is simple and easy, no matter whether it is assigned by the teacher or bought by the parents, just immerse yourself in answering the questions. Are there such people in reality? few! What is sad is that it is difficult for such children to enter high school.
When answering questions, I say simple and repetitive, which means starting from the simple. Everything is a process from simple to difficult. It must be easy at the beginning, so that you can be interested. Don't ask your children to answer questions at the beginning. If you don't get a few questions right, it will give your children a sense of frustration, which is not good.
At this stage, the main reason for letting children answer questions is to see what level they are at, so that they can answer targeted questions later and save time. The questions selected by
should also have a gradient, and the difficulty will increase little by little. This difficulty requires parents to master it, so parents need to have this understanding. Remember one thing in this link of
, start simple and select topics in a gradient way.
2, the second stage of question answering... Category screening
Question answering has reached the second stage, when children can have a gradient distinction. The next step is to classify and screen the children's questions. The principle of
screening is that you only need to brush those questions once, or just brush them every once in a while. Some questions require two or three passes. This time frequency is like the Ebbinghaus curve memory method.
sets the frequency of repeated questions based on the difficulty of the questions and the child's knowledge points.
also screens children's knowledge points. As we said in the previous article, brushing up on questions is not the purpose. Browsing on questions looks for areas where the knowledge points are unfamiliar and where the knowledge points cannot be applied. Remember two points in this link of
, filter according to frequency and filter according to the degree of mastery of knowledge points.
3. The third step of answering questions...Challenge yourself
This step is more difficult. Many children cannot do the second step. Children who can do this step will easily fall into the comfort zone of lazy thinking.
is to brush the questions of a difficulty level over and over again, and is unwilling to move to higher difficulty questions.
This stage is mainly about challenging yourself and challenging your children’s comfort zone in learning.
is like what we are often used to doing, but it is difficult to increase the difficulty. It is not that we can't do it, but that our minds think that we can do this well and don't want to improve it.
It is also easy for children to fall into this misunderstanding when answering questions, and parents will also fall into the trap. Parents need to understand at this stage that once their children have crossed over to find a comfort zone, the success is basically more than half achieved.
It is easy for parents and children to turn this link into a repetitive question-answering mode, which is equivalent to running in circles and never getting out of the circle. It not only wastes time and energy, but also consumes the children's will.When answering questions in
, you must increase the difficulty of the questions, increase the depth and breadth of the questions, and allow children to face difficulties when they encounter them, think of their own ideas and methods, and summarize their own methods and skills.
Every day, every time you answer the questions, you must increase the difficulty of the questions and reach new heights. Just like going up the stairs, you will climb a new level every day. Don’t seek to reach the sky in one step, but seek to win step by step.
This link avoids being unable to extricate yourself from the comfort zone and spinning in circles.
4, the fourth link of answering questions... Summary of rules
The fourth link of answering questions is also the most critical link and a qualitative leap.
When we go through the questions over and over again, we turn the unfamiliar questions into familiar ones, turn the unfamiliar questions into familiar ones, and turn the difficult questions into familiar ones. It means that we have successfully solved the problem.
At this link, we need to raise our heads and summarize.
When walking with your head down, you should also look up at the sky.
This link is what improves our learning ability. Many children are unwilling to move forward in their comfort zone. They think that after they have learned the textbook knowledge, they will not learn any more knowledge outside the textbook, even if it is just to expand.
The higher the grade in mathematics, the wider the span of scores. The reason is that the further you go to school, the more difficult the questions are, and the more knowledge you use, you will be able to do what you know, and you will not be able to do what you don't know.
For most children, on the one hand, they have never seen the questions they don’t know, and on the other hand, they have seen the questions and only glanced at the answers, thinking they knew it, but they still can’t do it.
This requires the fourth step of solving the questions.
We classify the problems, summarize their commonalities, find out the rules and key points in solving the problems, especially the problem-solving skills of some problems.
should think about why this is done? Why didn't I think of that? Is it because I am not familiar with this area of knowledge? Or am I just memorizing the knowledge and not applying it? What did I ignore when answering questions for the exam?
Every time you encounter a question that you don't know, you should ask the above questions, find out the key words in the question, and think of the questions that you have answered before, which are similar to the same category.
At this time, we need to use a key word "look", which is called observation. When I was cultivating my children's thinking in third grade, I reminded them countless times in every class, what should they do first when doing math problems?
Look at
and look for similarities, differences, patterns, methods, and techniques.
summarizes the rules and methods found and digests them to form its own knowledge system.
Thinking, this is an ability that should be cultivated in elementary school, but many children have degraded by the time they reach high school. The reason is that it was not cultivated in primary school.
Therefore, answering questions is a process of checking for gaps and filling in gaps. Find knowledge points that you don’t know and fill them in. Find unfamiliar content and fill it in. Repeated reflection and learning supplement.
Summary, don’t blindly answer questions, summarize every time you answer questions. Growing and improving again and again.
