This is the most effective way to learn

Chapter 8 Don’t just take your ears to class——The method of listening to top students (1)
Whether you like it or not, taking classes is something a student has to do.

Attending lectures is the basic form of students' learning in school, and it is an important link and way for students to master knowledge, understand knowledge, increase knowledge, and accept knowledge.To improve the quality of lectures, you must be able to listen to lectures. Previewing before class is the key to listening to lectures well. Listening to lectures requires the use of ears, mouth, hands, and brain.Those who are not in the habit of burying their heads in self-thinking or taking notes during the teacher's lecture are not good. They should keep up with the teacher's class steps and actively participate in class activities.

Top students understand that classroom learning is fundamental.

The mid-term exam is over, and Yu Jia's grades are not very satisfactory.He looked back at Yao Na who was sitting behind him and was number one again, feeling very depressed.Thinking about myself, I never arrive late or leave early, do my homework seriously, and attend classes carefully, why is it always inferior to Yao Na?
Yao Na, who was sitting behind Yu Jia, seemed to be able to read minds, and said to Jia: "The problem is that you can't listen to the class. Sitting behind you, I can see clearly. You, you just take the If you listen to the lectures with your ears, the learning efficiency will of course not be high.

What?Yu Jia became more and more confused, isn't listening to a class the same as "listening" to it?
Although in class, you sit seriously, do not whisper or do small movements, but you hardly take notes, and you rarely raise your hand to answer questions, and you do not take the initiative to ask questions to the teacher.

Yu Jia lowered his head and thought about it, hey, that's really the case!It seems that my grades are not good, mainly because the efficiency of listening to lectures is not high. Classroom learning is the foundation, but I have not grasped this foundation, of course, half the effort.

Chinese physicist Yan Jici once said: "Listening to lectures is the basic method for students to learn knowledge systematically. If you want to learn well, you must be able to listen to lectures."

Attending lectures is an indispensable means of academic study.

The knowledge taught in the classroom is passed down. Most of the lessons are directly explanatory.That is, the purpose of these classes is to transfer knowledge, subject matter or method.

When the teacher lectures, he usually proceeds at a uniform speed, and he doesn't know whether the students understand everything he said.Sometimes questions and discussions may be asked, but usually this verbal communication is one-sided.

The effect of listening to lectures is usually better than that of reading books, because it is easier to be infected by enthusiasm and attitude in the situation where the person participates in person.

For students, class is the central link of learning. Only by grasping this central link can learning be successful.

Acquiring knowledge and developing intelligence mainly depend on attending classes.

The teacher is the leader of the classroom teaching. According to the requirements of the syllabus, the teacher uses the textbook as the basis, refers to the relevant materials, and combines the actual situation of the students. After careful preparation, the teacher conducts the teaching. Therefore, both in depth and in breadth, it exceeds the the textbook itself.If you can cooperate closely with the teacher during class, generally speaking, you can achieve good learning results.

In the "student era", listening to the teacher's lectures in the classroom is the main content of a day's study, so it is very important to listen to every class of the teacher.For students in school, the teacher's teaching is after all the first-class source of knowledge.If we don't pay attention to listening, then we are wasting time in the worst possible way.

Listen to the teacher carefully.This is the main reason why top students get good grades.

The student age is the golden age of life, and most of the time in this "golden age" is spent in the classroom.Students acquire various knowledge mainly through classroom teaching. It can be seen that most of the time in middle school is spent in class.In this sense, we should earnestly teach good lessons to make the "golden age" dazzling.

Top students can prepare well before class.

The long bell for class had already rang, and Teacher Xu, who was about to push the door in, was bumped hard. It turned out that Zhang Meng rushed into the classroom with a football in his arms.Needless to say, Zhang Meng took advantage of this short recess to play football again, and overplayed it again, forgetting the time.

Teacher Xu frowned. She knew that Zhang Meng would not be able to listen well in this class.

Sure enough, Zhang Meng, who hurried back to his seat, was looking for the textbooks at the moment. After finding them, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweaty forehead from time to time. The teacher had already started the lecture. Turning the pages, the next moment my eyes stopped somewhere, and I became dazed...

Zhang Meng, who was not well prepared for the class, could imagine the poor effect of this class.

Top students will never do that, they will not fight unprepared battles, they value every class, and of course they must ask themselves to do a good job of preparation before class.Generally speaking, they prepare from three aspects:
Intellectual preparation.

Mainly through preview.Before the teacher gives a lecture, the top students should read the content of the new lesson independently, get a preliminary understanding, and make preparations for learning new knowledge. This self-study process is preview.

Material preparation.

Prepare all kinds of learning tools for class, and when the bell rings, the brain will start, which is equivalent to adding 45 minutes or 5 minutes to 10 minutes; on the contrary, if the bell rings, you will walk into the classroom slowly, or Rushing into the classroom like Zhang Meng did before, people are still in the playground when they enter the classroom, plus they are looking for pens, ink, and books. The teacher talked for a long time without knowing what to say. Went for 45 minutes, 5 minutes.

Physical preparation.

You may find that top students generally don’t make loud noises when they are going to class. They sit quietly in their seats, sometimes close their eyes and meditate, and sometimes flip through books. By the way, this is the brilliance of top students. They In mobilizing the brain, the brain must be in an excited state, and the heart is thinking. Class is to rely on the brain to think about problems.Therefore, the state of the brain will directly affect the effect of class.

The usual work and rest arrangements are also in a state of adjustment.

Top students usually go to bed early and get up early, and don't drive late.Do not do strenuous exercise at noon and between classes, and do not take too long naps.Leave some time for activities after the nap, wash your face, chat, take a walk, and you will be refreshed when you go to class.Because there should be a transition time from an inhibited state to an excited state from waking up to class.

Some students go to bed late or get up late or take a long nap or get up late in the morning.I sat in the classroom shortly after waking up, not yet fully awake, and could not listen to anything in class. From a physiological point of view, my brain was still in a state of inhibition.

There are also very hard-working students who go to bed late and get up early, but their grades are not improving. What is the reason?Going to bed late itself reduces the sleep time, the brain cannot get enough rest, and the next day you will feel dizzy in class, the efficiency of listening to the class will decrease, and the class time will be wasted in vain.In order to make up for the loss, I had to go to bed late again. Such a vicious circle is not good for health and study.

The top students listen attentively to the class.

Once upon a time, there was a stray dog ​​who often went to the monastery to look for food.There are two monasteries in the area, one on the east bank of the river and the other on the west bank of the river.When Greedy Dog heard the bell of the monks serving meals in the East Bank monastery, he went to the East Bank monastery to beg for food.

Later, when the bells of the two monasteries were ringing at the same time, greedy dogs crossed the river to beg for food. When swimming westward, they feared that the food in the monastery on the east bank would be better than that in the monastery on the west bank; The temple is good.It swam westward for a while, then swam eastward for a while, and finally lost all strength and drowned alive in the river.

Concentrate on doing one thing well, don't get distracted, don't be like a kitten fishing, otherwise nothing will be done.No matter how high the temperature of sunlight is, it cannot ignite objects on the surface of the earth.However, it can be done with a magnifying glass. If all the light is gathered at one point, the paper will burn. The same is true for our study.

Concentrate on listening to lectures, that is, concentrate on listening to lectures, which is the prerequisite for listening to good lectures.

In ancient times, there was one of the best chess players in the country named Yiqiu. He was asked to teach two students how to play chess at the same time.There is a student who always concentrates and listens intently when the teacher is teaching chess skills, and follows the teacher to learn; another student, although he is also sitting there listening to the lecture, but his heart is always thinking about the geese flying fast in the sky. Come on, thinking about taking a bow and arrow to shoot it down, people don't care.As a result, the student who listened attentively learned well, while the student who did not listen attentively learned poorly. Is it because of his poor intelligence?No, it was because of his inattention.Regarding the need to concentrate on learning, Xunzi has a more wonderful elaboration in his "Encouraging Learning". He said: "Earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth, but strong bones and muscles. If you eat ash on the top and drink the yellow spring on the bottom, you must use your heart. Crab six Kneeling (feet) with two claws is not a cave for snakes and eels, and there is no one to rely on, so it is impetuous." This means that earthworms are single-minded because of their single-mindedness.As a result, fruitful results have been obtained, but because the crab is not single-minded, the result is that there is no place to settle down.

The above two examples fully illustrate how important it is to concentrate on learning!

Conscientiousness and concentration are the prerequisites for improving learning efficiency.When reading, if you are not concentrating, you may read the book and watch the series. Of course, it is difficult to read the book, read it thoroughly, and understand it comprehensively. Naturally, it is difficult to master the knowledge in it. This situation will inevitably lead to poor academic performance. result.

In the classroom, if the attention is not concentrated, there will be a lot of knowledge omissions and gaps, resulting in knowledge loopholes.

The poor academic performance is not a problem of intelligence, but most of it is a problem of long-term inattention in class.In the face of unsatisfactory academic performance, some of these people have low learning mood, some don't care, and some feel that they can't hold their heads up in front of everyone.

On the long and arduous learning road, the problem of attention will directly affect the intelligence level of each person during the study period.A famous scholar once said: "Attention is the window of learning. Without it, knowledge cannot shine in." We know that if you want sunlight to shine in a room, you must draw the curtains and open the windows.If you can't concentrate in class, it's like closing the window of your soul. How can the sunshine of knowledge shine in?It has been said that where there is attention, there is thinking and memory.Concentration is the guarantee of success in learning and knowing everything. If there is no concentration, it is impossible to devote oneself wholeheartedly to learning, and even fall into a vicious circle of giving up halfway and accomplishing nothing.

How to concentrate on listening to the class?First of all, classroom learning should be "six to".One is to be precise (that is, have a strong interest), and to listen to the lectures with interest, the effect is the best, otherwise "sit there with a sad face and study, the effect will never be good" (Lv Shuxiang's words); the second is to be careful, it is to learn well The root of scientific knowledge; the third is to see it with the eyes, it is an important source of knowledge, as the saying goes, "seeing is better than hearing a hundred times", "hearing is believing, seeing is believing"; fourth is to speak; fifth is to Listen to it, listen attentively according to the teacher's train of thought; six is ​​to get it by hand.It has been proved by practice that the combination of "six to" when listening to lectures will have excellent effect, otherwise, the effect will be little or even nothing.

Learning requires the quality of persistence and concentration, which is the best medicine to overcome all obstacles.

The top students listen to the lectures and focus on the key points.

In learning, the most important thing is not the quantity of knowledge, but the quality of knowledge.Some people know a lot, but don't know the most useful things.We all know this truth: People who can get the necessary nutrients are healthier than people who eat more.People who can really learn a lot of knowledge are often not those who have read a lot of books and done a lot of questions, but those who have learned the most useful knowledge.What is the most important knowledge?For students, what the teacher emphasizes in class is what is most useful to you, and it is also what you have the deepest auditory and visual memory.

Einstein has effectively mastered this law. He said: In learning, you should find out the things that can lead you to the deep, and throw away everything else, that is, throw away the burden that makes your mind overburdened. Everything that lures yourself away from the point.That is to say, in your studies, you must catch the thief and capture the king, and this "king" is the key point, that is, the essence you want to obtain.

Grasping the key points of the lecture can get twice the result with half the effort.

So, is there a rule to follow in the focus of the lecture?Of course there are, let the top students tell:
At the beginning of the class is the focus.

At the beginning of each class, the teacher always takes a few minutes to outline and emphasize the main content of the previous class.The method is more flexible. Sometimes it is the teacher's self-report, and sometimes we are tested in the form of questions. Then, we analyze according to our answers and raise questions that should be paid attention to. This is the focus of the lecture.At this time, you should pay special attention to listening, find out the loopholes in your study in the class and make up for it in time.

The after-school section is the focus.

The summary of a few minutes after each lesson is also the focus of the lecture, and you should also pay attention to it.Because, at this time, the teacher has to summarize the key points of this lesson in a finishing touch.The end of the teacher's lecture, although it is only a few minutes, is very important. It is related to how the teacher connects new knowledge together. It embodies the crystallization of the teacher's many years of teaching experience. We must be serious, and these places are often not taken seriously by us. .At the end of the teacher's lecture, he was busy packing his things, ready to rush to the playground as soon as the bell rang, and occupy the entertainment territory.In this way, the essence is missed, and if things go on like this, academic performance will inevitably be affected.

The introduction of new knowledge of teachers is the key point.

Generally speaking, the teacher will introduce new knowledge on the basis of review.Therefore, when listening to the class, you must pay attention to what knowledge the teacher has reviewed, what is the relationship between this knowledge and the new knowledge in this section, and how the teacher introduces new knowledge.In this way, it is very necessary for understanding new knowledge.Otherwise, the attention will not be concentrated, and the new knowledge will not know where it comes from, resulting in a disconnect between the old and new knowledge, which will directly affect the learning of the following courses.

The teacher's explanation of new knowledge is the key point.

After introducing new knowledge, the teacher will then explain the content and application of the new knowledge in detail.This part is the center of the whole class. We must make great efforts to listen carefully and concentrate our attention. We must understand what new knowledge points the teacher explained, which points he emphasized, how to explain it, and how the teacher applied it. What methods are used to solve practical problems with new knowledge.

The teacher's question is the key point.

When the teacher explains the new knowledge and its application, he will ask some questions for the students to answer. At this time, listen carefully to the teacher's questions.These questions are carefully prepared by the teacher, and they are all related to the new knowledge in this section and its application. We should try our best to answer with the new knowledge we have learned.

Which are the key teachers have signals.

In the lecture, when the teacher talks about some places that he thinks are particularly important, they will show it with various signals.Someone will raise his voice or lower his voice; someone else will say, "One thing to remember is that..." or use other words to show that he takes this seriously; still others may use slightly different terms for major items and concepts. Repeat the words; some people pause or speak more slowly when they reach a particularly important point.Whenever you see the teacher list the points in a "one, two, three" way, you can be confident that this is the point.Because there are so many ways to express a point, we cannot give you a proper formula for identifying it.It takes your own vigilance and understanding to discern the point, but what is certain is that in general, the clues to the point always exist.You just have to keep an eye out for these clues.

The distribution of attention is uneven, and top students are good at grasping this characteristic of attention, which is used in classroom learning.They use their attention unevenly, and are good at grasping the key points, difficult points and key points to listen to the lectures.During lectures, keep your attention relaxed and relaxed, use your brain more efficiently, pay more attention than the whole class, and listen to the lectures with too much tension, the effect will be better.

Top students will attend lectures, think about it, is it the place that these top students pay attention to that happens to be the place you ignore?

Top students will listen and think.

Rutherford is a great scientist. Once he walked into the laboratory and saw a student working at his desk, he walked over and asked kindly: "It's so late, what are you doing?" The student replied: "I'm working." Rutherford asked again: "Then what are you doing during the day?" The student said: "I'm working!" Rutherford further asked: "So you also work in the morning?" The student raised his neck proudly and said: "Yes Yes, professor, I also work in the morning." Rutherford hesitated and said, "Then how much time do you spend thinking?"

Some people seem to be very busy all day long, rushing to go to class every day. After each class, he can retell the content of the class, but if you ask him a more in-depth question, he can't answer it.The efficiency of such lectures is obviously not high.

Concentrating on listening to lectures is the basic principle of class, but it is not enough to just concentrate, you must actively use your brain and take the initiative to listen to the class.
