Feynman Learning Method

author:Wang Shoufeng's psychological Q&A

Today I would like to share with you one of the most cattle learning methods in history - feynman learning methods.

Feynman Learning Method

There was a farmer who raised two sons, both of whom were later very good and were admitted to Tsinghua Peking University. Later, he was interviewed and asked how he raised his children.

The farmer smiled and said, "I don't have any culture, and I don't know any tricks." Just think that the child spent so much money in school, can not spend in vain, let the child go home from school every day, tell me what the teacher said at school, if there is something I can't understand, ask the child, if the child can't understand, let the child ask the teacher the next day. In this way, spending a portion of the money, teaching two people. Strangely, the child's learning momentum is particularly strong, even if other people's children are playing outside, he is not moved.

In fact, this father used the Feynman learning method, but he did not realize it.

Feynman Learning Method

Feynman learning is recognized worldwide as the most efficient learning method. It is to force yourself to consciously, happily, and consciously take the initiative to learn in the way of teaching.

I. Introduction to Feynman

He finished calculus at the age of 13; entered MIT after graduating from high school; joined the Mahatoon Project genius group with Einstein at the age of 24 to develop the atomic bomb; during his time at the California Institute of Technology at the age of 33, Feynman was popular with students for his humorous and eclectic lecture style; and won the Nobel Prize at the age of 47. Considered the wisest theoretical physicist since Einstein, he was also the first to propose the concept of nanotechnology.

Second, the steps to implement the Feynman method of learning

Step 1: Choose the concept you want to learn and master it.

Step 2: Review.

Imagine that you are a teacher and want to teach a new student this knowledge point. At this step, you have to imagine yourself telling a student who has no knowledge of this aspect and writing down your explanation. This step is key, because in the process of explaining what you understand or don't understand, make yourself more aware of what you don't understand.

In terms of teaching methods, it is called: "teaching memory method".

Sometimes some teachers will let a student as a small teacher to teach a certain knowledge point, although the teacher is using it, he may not know that it is the most cattle "Feynman learning method".

Step 3: Organize and simplify the language.

Now that you have a set of your own handwritten notes, check to make sure you haven't borrowed any jargon from the raw material. Organize these notes into a fluid story in simple language.

This is where learning begins. Now that you know where you're stuck, go back to the original material and relearn until you can explain the concept in basic terms.

When you still don't understand, don't rush down, go back, re-read the reference material, listen to the lecture or find a teacher to answer until you understand, then write down the explanation on paper and write down the answer that is closest to the "standard".

Step 4: Impart

Try to rephrase it in plain language, preferably by outsiders or children. The ultimate way to test knowledge is that you have the ability to spread it to another person.

This is actually an active deliberate exercise, especially through teaching, constantly revising, and then simplifying and simplifying in the end, polishing a new concept to maturity, so that the efficiency of learning can be super high.

It's not just a recipe for learning, it's also a window into different ways of thinking, and it allows you to tear your ideas apart and reassemble them from scratch. This approach to learning will give you a deeper understanding of ideas and concepts.
