Hey guys! Today, let's talk about the story of a little learning expert, she is a classmate Yu, a graduate of Daqing Experimental Middle School, and now studying at the School of Urban and Environmental Sciences of Peking University.
Yu found that many students learned like iron, tired like dogs, but their grades were mediocre. Therefore, she decided to share her learning secrets so that everyone can also taste the sweetness of learning.
01
Set a goal and don't let yourself look like a fly without a head
Yu's first idea was. Students without goals are like flies without heads, bumping into each other, and the efficiency is naturally not high. Many students don't know why they want to study, how can their grades be good?
She suggested that we should set ourselves long-term and short-term goals:
For example, the dream university, Peking University, Tsinghua University, dare to think and dare to do!
For example, a certain topic in Chinese composition, or a certain type of question in mathematics, will not be filled in and will not be filled.
Don't just focus on scores and rankings, that thing is not real, and results and rankings are not entirely based on strength and knowledge.
02
Preview, let you win at the starting line
Yu suggested that you should prepare for the next day's class the first night. Read the textbook first, mark what you don't understand, and do the exercises when you have time. The standard she gave herself was: before the teacher starts teaching, he must understand at least six or seven percent.
03
Listen to the lecture like a detective
In class, you have to pay full attention, don't let go of every word, and think about what is the connection between this knowledge point and the previous one, how to use it, and why it has changed so much. But the human brain is not a machine, and it is easy to wander when tired.
The secret is to take notes, even if you don't have anything to remember, write and draw on paper to keep you focused. Interacting with the teacher is also a great way to stay focused.
04
Review and don't let the knowledge slip away
Homework after class, many students are in a hurry to do it, and it is not recommended by students. Here's how she does it: After listening to the class, review the content of the day first to see if you understand what you didn't understand during the preview. Close the book, try to recall the knowledge points, and if you can't remember it, turn the book and look at it.
Review diligently and fight forgetting. Yu thinks that the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve is quite useful, but considering the high pressure of studying, he can review it according to the nodes of the day, the next day, a week, and a month.
05
Wrong question book, don't stuff everything into it
There are a lot of wrong questions in exams and questions, and Yu believes that not all wrong questions have to be put into the wrong question book, which is too time-consuming and inefficient. You have to focus on analyzing the questions that are repeatedly wrong, and you need to write down these questions and review them well.
By the way, those difficult problems with high thinking requirements or complex steps, even if you do it correctly, it is worth remembering and deepening your understanding when reviewing. If you make a mistake in the new question type during the exam, you have to write it down and familiarize yourself with it.
06
Plan to keep learning organized
Set a study plan every day, and the efficiency can go up. Yu students' methods are:
Mr. Shaoming hopes that the above methods can help everyone and make learning easy and efficient! Don't forget, learning is about methods, not rote memorization, and finding a path that suits you can go further.
07
Implications for reading comprehension
We have followed in the footsteps of our students and explored a series of effective learning strategies that are not only applicable to all subjects, but also have implications for improving Chinese reading comprehension. Let's take a few of these points as examples to explore how they lead to improved reading comprehension and leaps in achievement.
08
Master the 2 cores
The above approach emphasizes the importance of goal setting. The same principle applies to the improvement of language reading comprehension.
Setting specific, achievable reading comprehension learning goals, such as "", can provide clear direction and motivation for the learning process.
Just as the long-term goal is to target the ideal university, the short-term goal should focus on weak areas in reading comprehension, such as "mastering the two rhetorical devices of metaphor and personification and their effect analysis this week." Clear goals can guide students to learn in a targeted manner, rather than blindly brushing questions.
09
Preview habits
The pre-study habits advocated above are also key to improving reading comprehension. Before coming into contact with a new article, it is equivalent to building a bridge for a deeper understanding of the article. This kind of preview is not limited to direct text information, but also includes a preliminary understanding of the technical terms and cultural backgrounds that may be involved in the text, which helps to reduce obstacles and enter a state of in-depth understanding more quickly.
10
Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve
The revision strategy follows the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, which is equally applicable for reading comprehension. In the face of complex question types and solutions, regular review, especially at key points in the forgetting curve, can ensure that the knowledge and skills learned are deeply imprinted in the mind.
For difficult problems, through repeated review and practice, until you can quickly identify and apply them correctly, you can be comfortable in the exam.
Although the above learning methods are widely applicable, for the specific area of Chinese reading comprehension, the final result is a significant improvement in performance.
There are no shortcuts to learning, but the right strategy and consistent effort can pave the way to success.
Over the years, focusing on reading comprehension, we have received too much feedback from students:
For example, this student, before learning, was also confused about reading comprehension, when answering questions, always relying on feeling, rather than systematic thinking, now after learning, reading comprehension only deducted about 3 points, I believe that as long as you continue to study and train, it is only a matter of time to get a full score.
This student, who has not been exposed to it before, is the problem solving method, and after learning, he called it amazing, systematic learning is really important, and now only 2 points will be deducted!
Like this student, he has come close to the "Full Score Club", as long as he follows the study and training, no matter how bad the student is, he can be improved.
This student is even more exemplary, it took about 4 months, and the Chinese reading comprehension has improved greatly, and only 1 point is deducted so far.
Looking at the gorgeous turns of these dolls, we don't plan to show off how good we are, but we sincerely want to share a big thing.
