This is the most effective way to learn

Chapter 40 How to review best? (1)
Make reviewing homework a daily habit
The so-called review is to check and fill in the gaps and summarize the courses that you have learned in time, so as to reach a new level.Generally speaking, the review process requires corresponding practice and memorization, which can not only improve the quality and efficiency of learning, but also deepen the understanding and understanding of those forgotten or unfamiliar concepts or knowledge points.

Reviewing is a link between the past and the future. As the old saying goes, "reviewing the past leads to new knowledge", which means that through reviewing, one can gain a more accurate grasp of the original knowledge, and can also make better preparations for the learning and understanding of new knowledge.If you don't review it, it's easy to forget.People often say such a joke: "Have you returned everything you learned to the teacher?" It means that the teacher doesn't remember what he taught.

In essence, review is a process of strengthening memory and a process of solidifying cognition.

The story of the "blind man breaking corn" in China is even more well-known to women and children. Every time a blind man breaks a corn, he holds it under his arm and throws away the previous old corn at the same time. After working like this for a long time, he only has one corn.The Russian educator Ushinsky once compared the inability to firmly grasp knowledge to a drunken coachman who forgot to tie his load on the cart and did not look back, but just kept going forward, bumping things I don't know if I lost it, but it turned out that there was only an empty car back home.

These two stories should have a common revelation for us.That is, we must be diligent in reviewing and consolidating the knowledge we have learned.

Wang Haiwei is a junior high school student. He usually masters his homework pretty well, and his grades in the quizzes are also very good, but when it comes to big exams, he can't do it, and he fails in the first exam.It’s not that you can’t do some questions. Sometimes you can’t do it in the examination room, and you can’t remember a certain concept, theorem or formula, but you can remember it when you step into the examination room. It’s really frustrating.

With this confusion in his heart, he went to find his cousin who was thinking about the university and was at home on vacation.The cousin didn't answer him directly, but played a video for him.He was originally curious, but he didn't expect the old movie "Mission: Impossible" to be displayed on the form.

He was a little disappointed and said, "I can tell the storyline of what is so good about this movie."

The cousin said: "Then don't read it, tell me the outline of the story!"

Wang Haiwei told his cousin vividly. After the lecture, the cousin said: "Yes, even a small detail in the movie is not missed. But when it comes to the exam, why can't I remember the knowledge in the textbook? "

Wang Haiwei blushed and asked his cousin for advice.My cousin said: "People watch a good movie several times, and they may even be able to memorize the lines in the movie. Why is this? The main reason is that after people watch the movie, they always have to repeat it in their minds. Memories. It's what people call 'playing a movie' in your head. Let's ask ourselves a simple question. Think about it, what question is almost never wrong on a test? The name on the test paper! Why? How about it? It’s very simple. I hear, read and write my name every day. I’m already familiar with it. I can’t write it wrong with my eyes closed! In other words, it’s not easy to write the wrong name. what!"

"Oh, that said, it's the same with studying, with constant review and replaying movies in your head."

"Yes." My cousin said with satisfaction.

From then on, Wang Haiwei paid attention to reviewing.During the day, he listened carefully to the teacher's lectures, took notes carefully, and tried to digest all the content of the teacher's lectures.During the break at noon, there will be a "movie show".Before the screening, lie down on the table, stop all other physical activities, and concentrate all your attention on "playing the movie".At this time, he tried to make the images of teacher and student activities in the classroom and the clear voice of the teacher appear in his mind.Then reproduce the content on the blackboard and what the teacher said on the "screen" you set up in the order of class.

Before going to bed at night, it is a good time to do repeated "movies".At this time, you can lie on the bed to "play the movie", and you don't have to "play" all the content of each lesson like you did at noon, you only need to play the key content of each lesson in your mind.

The final step of "playing the movie" is after waking up in the morning.At this time, it is very labor-saving to "play" it. There is no need for moving images or sounds to appear in the mind. It is only necessary to summarize the main points of the class in a dozen words.

He does it every day.In this way, at the end of the day, the "movie" was played three times.A lot of knowledge is much more firmly grasped than before.He recalled a test of Balzac's nationality once before, but he was not sure whether it was Britain, France or the United States. At that time, if he was asked to write, except for China, as long as the name of the country he knew could be written.

Now think about what this means?First of all, explain that he has studied the author's article, and also listened to the teacher's explanation about the author's personal situation.It's a pity that he didn't form a deep memory, so he couldn't be sure about some details when it came time to take the exam.

Through "playing movies", Wang Haiwei finally achieved good grades and was successfully promoted to a higher-level school.

Review is to master more solidly.If you don't review and don't learn well, you will spend a lot of time and you won't get good learning results.Although you have been able to, but at a certain moment, your reaction is not!This shows that you still don't know it, whether you have ever done it or not!It is understandable to say that you can't score because of ignorance, but if you lose points due to unfounded reasons, not only can you not be forgiven, but you should blame yourself!In order to prevent mistakes to the greatest extent, it is necessary to grasp all the concepts and knowledge points solidly and accurately.Only when you are prepared can you know what you are doing during the exam!However, it is impossible to truly master a knowledge point only by one-time activities. It must be achieved by continuous summary, practice, and accumulation.

Exam preparation should be planned early
Some students usually don't pay attention to study, and only a few days before the exam, they only review frantically for a few days, thinking that they can get good marks by this method.In fact, it is not the case that adequate preparation before the exam is the key to the exam.We must lay a solid foundation in the usual exams, master problem-solving methods and comprehend problem-solving skills through a lot of practice.Some students put their hopes on the few days before the exam, cramming their feet temporarily, and want to complete the learning tasks by surprise, so they can only end in failure in the end.

Wang Hongwei is a student in a liberal arts class. In the college entrance examination, he won No.1 in the city in the single subject of politics.His experience is to lay a solid foundation and accumulate it for a long time. As he said, academic performance cannot be improved in a day.

Take current affairs and politics as an example. When he entered the third year of high school, he made a study plan.Let yourself review systematically and carefully in one year.It is not necessary to hold a book every day, but you must always grasp and pay attention to social hot news.

He has developed a good habit of watching the CCTV news broadcast every day, especially the domestic news section, he listens carefully and pays attention to it.Grasp the trend and carefully study the changes in national policies.If he has time, he also strives to watch the focus interview together, which will help improve the test-taking ability of the analysis questions.

He reads the People's Daily every day, especially the editorial section.Learn to figure out the structure, idea, and theme of the article.This approach has improved his ability to analyze and solve problems, and he can handle some of the materials given in the question with ease.

Of course, it is also important to do a certain amount of practice and accumulate learning methods and problem-solving skills.In the one or two months before the exam, he accumulated the methods of solving the questions by doing the questions, broadened his thinking, and grasped the direction, thinking and difficulty of the questions.Let him be targeted during the college entrance examination instead of rushing to take the exam.As he said, the key to learning is accumulation, and it cannot be accomplished overnight, so you must not take chances and cram for a while.

People without thought, he must worry about.Some students usually take a leisurely stroll, but when it comes to the exam, they become ants on the hot pot.But try hard now, it's too late.The test examines the proficiency of basic knowledge and the proficiency of problem-solving methods and skills. All of these cannot be solved by sudden surprise.Therefore, when you are studying, you must make a careful study plan, sooner rather than later, and it will be too late to work hard when the exam is coming.

How to make a reasonable review plan?
The ancients said: "Everything will be established if it is forewarned, and it will be abandoned if it is not forewarned."The same is true for learning.Only with a plan can learning be systematic, organized, and step-by-step, and you can know what you are doing.Our study plan includes two contents, namely the content of study and the time of study.The combination of the two creates problems such as the progress and speed of learning.

1.Focus on the most important learning content
Some knowledge is crucial, or has strategic significance, and it should be regarded as a key point and fully reflected in the study plan.Don't be unfocused, grab the beard and eyebrows.

2.spend a lot of time

According to the actual situation of your own study and life, use a large chunk of time and spend it on the most important content that requires continuous learning.In this way, each study can have a greater benefit and avoid spending the whole time.

3.Take a step-by-step principle
The learning of knowledge should start from the shallower to the deeper, and avoid being too ambitious and eager for success.It is necessary to ensure the full time for learning a certain knowledge, for example, to learn communication skills, generally no less than [-] hours.

4.Note the use of "golden" time

Use your energetic "golden" time to learn difficult key subjects and knowledge that needs to be memorized.Avoid unsystematic time arrangements, and learn what you think of.

5.Be flexible with your schedule

From a long-term point of view, in order to achieve the effect of learning, we must move forward steadily, so that every plan can be implemented, and it is necessary to leave room for time.

6.Nine Dos and Ten Don'ts for Effective Use of Time Learning

(1) Clearly separate what must be done from what may or may not be done;

(2) Start with important and difficult things first;

(3) There must be a practical study timetable;
(4) Use free time correctly;

(5) Keep the learning tools at hand so that they can be used at any time;

(6) Don't think wildly during the learning process;
(7) To really drill in and develop the habit of working hard;
(8) To master the correct method of reading and writing;

(9) Choose a work and rest time that suits your personality.

(8) Being distracted by other people's activities and laughter;

(9) Chatting;
(10) NAP.

Please seize every bit of time, work hard, and move towards your goal!

How to review textbook content?

Almost anything is easier to digest if you divide your food into small bites.The same is true when reviewing the content of textbooks. You must review one chapter at a time and keep the knowledge framework of the entire chapter in your mind.At the same time, you have to think section by section, digest every concept, every theorem, and every knowledge point, and then look for the connection between each knowledge point.

1.Read the textbook paragraph by paragraph
This is the most critical step in the entire textbook learning process. Before you understand this paragraph, don't read the following paragraphs.In order to understand the context, you can read the following paragraphs, but you must have the intention to go back and understand this question paragraph.Remember, being able to understand the content of several consecutive paragraphs is related to whether you can understand the content of the entire chapter.

When you don't really understand the author's thoughts, don't continue to read line by line. This common habit comes from reading novels, because the actions in novels are described in very vivid ways, so readers use It doesn't take much effort to understand.For textbooks, learners are not just to know a story, but to discover the thoughts and concepts told by the author from between the lines.One way to do this is by asking questions, and another is by taking each paragraph as seriously as the learner will be teaching the material to others.Pause at the end of each paragraph or related paragraphs to recount the author's central idea and details of the argument in their own words, and answer questions such as: "What did I learn in this paragraph?" The learner responds Answering this question means that you have understood it.

Don't forget to use the paragraph topic statement to help learners understand the meaning of each paragraph.In any case, the paragraph topic statement is for learners to use, it often contains the central idea of ​​the paragraph, or explains the central idea.

2.Solve the puzzles in the textbook
As you read and study your textbook, do a solid check of your understanding by asking: "Do I get it?" If the answer is: "Not quite," then take immediate action:
The first step is to look back at these paragraphs and find the author's thought clues.

In the second step, look down a few paragraphs and see what problems you will encounter.

The third step is to open the dictionary and look up words that are not clear and may hinder reading.

The fourth step is to read the difficult passage aloud with exaggerated expressions and emphatic tone, so as to figure out what the author means.If you can read aloud, especially with expression, you can fully concentrate on yourself.

The fifth step, if you still don’t understand, you can use the Corson method: it’s a good way to specifically determine what you don’t understand, and write down what you find difficult. The next day, you can ask your classmates or teachers .

3.Alternate use of textbooks

If reading your textbook happens to be difficult, go to the library and check out other textbooks that have roughly the same titles as your textbook.If you find several, chances are one of them is in a language that is much easier to read and understand.

However, don't just substitute this easier-to-read book for the assigned textbook.This should be done: First, read the assigned topic in an easier textbook and fully understand its content.Then, go back to your assigned textbook and draw key points, make some summaries or take individual notes in the margins.It is obvious that once the learner understands the meaning of the question, he will come to the difficult textbook with confidence and say: "Oh, yes, I know what the author wants to explain." One gain is that reading two different narratives of the same topic will give learners a deeper understanding of the textbook content and a better retention of it.

4.reciting textbooks

It must be believed, and believed without the slightest doubt or hesitation, that forgetting is and will continue to be one of our greatest academic concerns: forgetting intrudes, hinders learning.However, we have a powerful weapon to defeat it on the spot, and that weapon is recitation.

Here, reciting refers to reciting aloud the main points and details of a passage we just read in our own words without reading a book.Many experiments have proved that reading a paragraph, memorizing a paragraph, reading a paragraph, and memorizing a paragraph in this way alternately can learn faster and remember better.

Memorizing after reading a paragraph induces brain and body activity that:

(1) make us more focused;
(2) lay a solid foundation for a better understanding of the next paragraph;

(3) give us time to consolidate memory;
(4) To ensure more accurate memorization of the facts and ideas in the book;

(5) We get instant feedback on how well we are learning.

When we understand that we are doing a good job, there will be progress.Experiments have also proved that the more time you recite, the more you learn.For example, several groups of subjects who spent 20% of their time studying and 80% of their time reciting them received much better results than those who spent less time reciting.

When reciting, just cover the relevant paragraphs in the textbook.If there was a suggestive word written next to the borderline, let it show.Then repeat the ideas in the paragraph aloud, in your own words.Don't recite vaguely in your head, express it in complete sentences and paragraphs, and insert appropriate transition words.When reciting a list of facts and ideas, one can say "first," "second," etc. to enumerate them.

If you are a serious student, you may want to write down facts and thoughts when reciting.Like writing the answers to an exam, it may even help the student to firmly hold the ideas in mind longer.If you write while reciting, then you are actually learning through three channels: ears, eyes and muscles.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that repeated reading can replace memorization.Repeated reading is nothing more than doing the same thing over and over again.When I read it for the first time, I have already finalized the things described in the chapters and paragraphs in my mind.After that, if you read it repeatedly, you must have a different method to deal with the same content, and this different method is to recite.

5.review textbook

Alternating reading and reciting is the first step in overcoming the immediate forgetting after learning.But just as forgetting is a continuous process, so must our battle be continuous.Review is a weapon we can use at any time after we have just read or memorized a chapter.

6.Thinking about Textbook Questions

After learning concepts and arguments by reciting and reviewing, it is necessary to make the brain think about these facts and ideas, think about or manipulate what you have learned.Thinking enables us to learn more creatively.Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

(1) What is the significance of these facts and concepts?
(2) On what principles are they based?

(3) Where else can they be applied?
(4) How do they fit into what I already know?

(5) What do I know beyond but based on these facts and concepts?
