Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 3 The first step in efficient learning - learning methods (3)
The "weight loss" mentioned here is actually a generalization of memory objects.The process of summarization is just a process of thinking (what is important and what is secondary), and it is a process of improvement (what is the problem with so much content), so summarization is not only easy to remember, but also a an important learning method.

Opponents are learning helpers
Many students are envious of the champions of the college entrance examination. How good they are, they are always at the top of the tower, and they don’t have to compare themselves with others all day long.In fact, champions also have opponents. It can be said that it is precisely because of the competition among opponents that they continue to rise and achieve success in the college entrance examination.Therefore, the opponent is a treasure, don't be afraid of the existence of the opponent, on the contrary let the opponent become the driving force for your continuous progress.

The vast sea, surrounded by a vast ocean, how can we determine our own direction?How do you know if you are moving forward or backward?How far is it from the destination?If you don't have a compass (compass) and can't find out the angle change between you and the stars, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to answer the above questions, and the only thing left is the fear of facing the sea.

This shows the importance of the compass.In the ocean of the college entrance examination, how can we find the method and motivation of learning?

For example, anyone who loves to read martial arts novels knows that the loneliest thing about a martial arts master is that he has no opponent, so he falls into the situation of "lonely seeking defeat".Because without a suitable opponent, he will lose his motivation to forge ahead; without a suitable opponent, he will not be able to see clearly the flaws in his martial arts; without a suitable opponent, he will not be able to stimulate his greatest life potential.

In our usual study and college entrance examination, we must find our opponent as a reference to describe our progress.Two factors that explain learning progress are: on the one hand, you need to know your test scores every time, and on the other hand, you need to know your ranking position among your peers.With these two indicators, you can tell exactly whether you are making progress or regressing.

The test scores we usually care about can only reflect your results from one side, and reflect the degree of your mastery of the test content.We should take into account that the difficulty level of the test questions can be changed. If the test questions are easy, the scores will generally rise; on the contrary, if the test questions are difficult, the scores will generally decrease.

The relative position of your grades among your classmates is not easy to change.This is the reason and benefit of converting the raw scores of the college entrance examination into standard scores.So if you want to really know whether your recent studies have improved, it is best to choose a competitor among your peers and compete with them secretly.

It would be a good way to use him as a reference to prove one's progress.In this way, you can have a comparative goal and have the motivation to move forward.

Therefore, in your studies, especially during the critical period of the college entrance examination, you should not be afraid of your opponents, nor should you avoid your opponents, but actively look for suitable opponents for yourself.If this opponent is not just your competitor, but also your like-minded friend, then he will bring you double power (of course, you will also bring him double power).

On the one hand, it is a mirror, allowing you to clearly "photograph" your own problems and deficiencies, so as to effectively solve them; on the other hand, it can continuously send you direct energy.Therefore, finding an opponent will form a unique "atmosphere field" between two people, and a good competitive "atmosphere field" is a powerful "energy field".

In 2006, Xue Fengyuan, the number one scholar in liberal arts in Gansu Province, had an appointment with his opponent at Peking University. He said that he had a friend and an opponent in his studies.The friend is his deskmate, who studies very hard at the same desk, usually they help each other, before each exam, they will shake hands and encourage each other.

The opponent is Xie Shipo. Every time in the class exam, either he is the first or Xie is the first. The two of them have a strong desire to surpass each other.Every time the school organizes an exam, their scores will pull the others apart by a large margin.Xue Fengyuan said that they were rivals in study, but they were still good friends in private. They agreed to go to Peking University together.

Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.It is not easy to make a little progress, because while you are making progress, others are also making progress.This requires you to keep working hard.In addition, you are required to continuously improve your learning methods, that is, when two strongs compete, the brave wins; when two braves compete, the wise wins.The end result of competition is that everyone makes progress.

In competition, the biggest competitor is actually yourself, because only by defeating yourself can you defeat others.In the process of competing with yourself and defeating yourself, you will give full play to your strengths, overcome your weaknesses, learn from others' strengths, make up for your own weaknesses, and make yourself sublimated, and the news of your success in the college entrance examination will surely come to you Competitive expectations arrived on time.

Learning by asking questions
Sometimes the teacher will ask students who seldom ask questions: "Why don't you ask questions?"

Most people always answer, "I don't know what to ask."

This kind of person who doesn't even know what to ask, no matter what class he is in, must not understand the content of the teacher's lecture, and can only pass that class in a daze.

Usually students are always shy to ask questions to the teacher.Many experienced teachers have said that those who often ask questions are always superior in application ability, and they are also the ones who can get No.1 in the exam.These people usually seem to be slow to comprehend, but in strength tests or mock exams, they will display their amazing potential and achieve top results.

On the other hand, those who usually keep nodding their heads as if they know everything will become stupid when they encounter a problem, and they will not get good grades in the test.There is no shame in asking questions.If you encounter a problem that you don't understand, you must directly ask your teacher or classmates for advice, because this is the most direct way to solve the problem.

Doubt is precious in learning, ask after doubt, and know after asking.The human brain is only in a state of excitement when it is "asking".The learning process is actually the process of asking questions, analyzing them, and solving them.

Classroom questioning is not the patent of teachers or some students. Everyone can ask questions. Only in the process of questioning each other can our creative thinking be expanded.Dare to question and learn to question, this is the basis for cultivating creative thinking.You have to know that if you want to be active in thinking, you cannot do without asking questions. Only by actively asking questions and being good at questioning can you maximize your learning initiative and enrich your imagination.

When students are studying, it is in seeking answers to each question mark, exploring new perspectives and new methods to solve problems, and stepping into the door of knowledge step by step.If a person never asks questions about the knowledge he has been exposed to since he was a child, and does not ask why, then his mind will not be able to radiate the fire of wisdom.

If a person is self-righteous and thinks that he knows everything and does not need to ask others for advice, he will not learn new knowledge.Only when you feel empty in your stomach all the time, and feel that your knowledge is too shallow and too little, can you pursue it eagerly and absorb the nutrition of knowledge to enrich yourself.

To learn and learn, to learn and ask twice; if you don't learn and don't ask, you are a fool.When Zhou Enlai was a child, he often went to the teacher's house and asked the most questions. He often asked and answered each other with his classmates, discussed problems, and constantly pursued new ideas and new knowledge.He always uses good questions as a knack for learning.

A number one scholar in science said: "Study is expensive to ask questions. We must learn how to ask questions. When I was studying, I paid great attention to the link of asking questions. The questions I ask can be roughly divided into two types:

"One is the place where concepts, theorems, etc. are vague and unclear.

"For this kind of problem, I usually go back and look through the textbook, trace the source, or re-describe the concept according to my own ideas, find out the difference from the textbook, think about it, give examples, or carefully deduce it Once again, this is very helpful for deepening the understanding of concepts.

"The second is the problem that can't be done. After all, the daily study time is very limited. If the problem is really too difficult, you may not be able to get out of the circle of your thinking no matter how much you spend your brain. At this time, I choose to give up and ask Teacher, discuss it with your classmates, and then analyze the inspiration for me to solve this problem. Maybe a sentence from a teacher or a classmate can give you an instant epiphany and leave a deep impression on you, and this is also a kind of gain.”

In fact, there is no difference between good and bad questions.When you first learn to ask questions, you don't have to stick to "you should ask beautifully", you can start asking small questions.Once you develop the habit of asking questions, over time, you will naturally feel that there are a lot of questions to ask, and the more you ask, the more fun you will be in learning.

You may wish to form a "question exchange meeting" with a few classmates, and discuss, think and discuss with your classmates.In this way, you can not only find that there are more things that you don't know much about, but you can also find a more satisfactory answer through discussion.

In addition, when reading a textbook, if you encounter something that you think is very important, draw a line with a red pen, and draw a line with a blue pen when you encounter something that you don't quite understand.For places where the line of doubt is drawn, it is necessary to find opportunities to ask teachers and classmates for advice, or to check reference books, and be sure to eliminate doubts.In this way, the understanding of certain knowledge is considered complete.

When you are in class, if you have a question that suddenly comes to mind, you should immediately take out the memo booklet, write it down before you forget it, and then try to solve it early.

You have to know that a question is really fresh when you first think about it. If you store it for a long time, it will be like a deflated balloon, losing its charm and being useless.

Learning can't just look at the surface like looking at flowers on a horse and horse, but to get to the bottom of it and figure out the ins and outs of things.Indeed, we can't just ask "what" about what we don't understand, but also think about and ask "why", and then explore and ask "how".Only by being a "problem king" can we "dominate" learning and continuously improve our grades.

If you write slowly, it is inevitable to fall behind in learning

Wang Shuai is a good student in the teacher's mind. He listens carefully in get out of class and finishes his homework carefully after class.

Wang Shuai is an obedient son in the eyes of his parents. As soon as he gets home, he closes the door and does his homework until ninety o'clock. He is never playful or opportunistic.

What makes teachers and parents wonder and headaches is that Wang Shuai studies so hard and seriously, but his study efficiency is low, and his homework is very slow. He spent two or three hours on the homework that others completed in one hour, and the exam is even more so. , when the other students were almost finished answering, Wang Shuai had just finished half of the answer, even if he was sweating from anxiety, he couldn't get up quickly.His writing speed has seriously affected his test scores, so every time the test results are always unsatisfactory, and he is always in the ranks of the last few in the class, so the parents assert that Wang Shuai is a born stupid child without such a clever mind.

We all know that in the examination room, every minute is very precious, and an inch of time is worth an inch of gold. Time is really gold and silver at that time. Usually, if you don’t have enough time, you can squeeze some time out. At this time, you can’t squeeze it. Wang Shuai is a typical example.

There is no time limit for homework. He can spend two or three hours, or even four or five hours, but he can't do it in the examination room. He is required to complete the answer sheet within a limited time. Wang Shuai, who pays attention to speed, will of course fall behind at this time.

Take an 800-word composition as an example. If you don’t write a draft and write 800 words, the writing speed may be slower, and it may take 60 minutes. The writing speed is faster, and it only takes 30 minutes. The only difference here is 30 minutes. For students, 30 minutes is truly like gold and silver.

Writing is about speed.When teachers and parents teach us to write, they are always afraid that we will not write well, and never emphasize the speed of writing. In fact, writing speed is also very important in the usual learning process, but few students realize this.Did not realize the importance of writing speed, let alone consciously train writing speed.

Because the teachers blindly emphasize that we write well, many students always write one stroke at a time, and it is impossible to think of improving the writing speed.Of course, there are a small number of students who, due to their personalities or habits, are able to use their pens like flying, but not many.

We can do the math. We start writing as soon as we go to school, and it will take us almost a lifetime to write. If our writing speed is doubled, how much time will it save?

If the writing speed is doubled, the average person spends 1 hour writing per day. After increasing the writing speed, half an hour can be saved every day. A person will save 1 hours a year, and 200 hours in a lifetime. If the 10000 hours are used For reading, if 10000 words per minute and 600 words per hour, that is 3.6 million words.

It can be seen that as a student, you should pay special attention to your writing speed, and you should regard writing technology as an important skill. You must realize the importance of writing speed and make up your mind to improve your writing speed.

Writing fast can save a lot of time. At the same time, when "fast" becomes our habit, our way of thinking and behavior will also become faster.We will be handy in the exam and get good grades easily. At that time, studying will become a happy thing, and we will fall in love with studying unconsciously.

Counting slowly, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain
Li Ke was asserted to be a child who "has no mathematical mind". He hired tutors and stayed up late, but his math scores were always [-] to [-]. Is it because of bad inheritance in the family?
But Li Ke's parents both graduated from college.

Is it because Li Ke doesn't work hard?

But Li Ke focuses on studying mathematics every night, and he has to study until 10:11 and [-]:[-] in the evening, so he has no time to play.

Is it because the parents don't pay attention?

In order to improve my math grades, I specially hired a tutor, but the grades just couldn't improve. The grades of [-] to [-] points were really a headache, and my father was so angry that he yelled, and grandpa's blood pressure skyrocketed...

Li Ke was also sad, he felt so stupid.

Why does Li Ke work so hard, but still can't improve his math grades?

Relevant experts believe that the reason why some students have poor math performance is not because of the small number of questions to do, the short time spent, and the lack of effort in studying, but because their thinking cannot keep up and the calculation speed is too slow. The calculation that could have been completed in half an hour , but he spent two hours or even three hours, unable to think flexibly, and without scientific and effective methods, his grades would definitely not be ideal.

In fact, there are no inherently poor students, only students whose strengths have not been fully utilized.

Just like how Ji Chang started to learn archery by practicing his eyes, and Leonardo Da Vinci learned to paint by drawing eggs, we should start with quick calculation and pay attention to developing and cultivating our attention, observation, imagination and thinking ability.Learn to develop a good habit of specific analysis of specific issues, cultivate your own overall concept of considering issues as a whole, and finally achieve the agility, flexibility and creativity of thinking.
