Efficient learning techniques for quick learners.
I
want to tell you that I've met a lot of people who seem to be learning slowly.
They have a deeper understanding of some fields than the so-called "quick
learners".
As a matter of fact, slow learners are just what fast learners
lack seriousness and carefulness. So I want to say to you that those
seemingly inefficient learning strategies are probably your strengths, not your
weaknesses.
After
I expressed my personal views, I have some basic learning and memory strategies
that I would like to share with you. These strategies come from my past work
and life experience, and I think they have certain universal values.

Strategy
1:
Many
students feel that they pay a lot, have a lot of pressure, are tired and hard
to learn, but their grades can't be improved. When we read novels and movies,
we never deliberately remember anything. Over and over again, we remember a lot
of content, such as outline, important plots, and characters, and it's not easy
to forget them.
Why only a few textbooks are recited over and over, but they
are always forgotten; homework is done pile by pile, but it is always not
mastered, and the results are not raised. No matter good or bad students, they
feel tired and tired.
In
fact, not learning itself is very difficult; many students are not crushed by
learning itself but in the psychological breakdown! Since the child entered
high school, parents and teachers have entered the first level of combat
readiness, desperately emphasizing the importance of learning, desperately
emphasizing the need to work hard.
Entering
high school is like entering a concentration camp. Students study in a state of
depression and suffocation every day. The nerve has been in a state of
high-intensity stress, just like the bowstring which has been tensed all the time;
it will break down after a long time.
In
addition, in a state of high anxiety and tension, it will lead to narrow
thinking, affect the flexibility, breadth, and memory of thinking, and lead to
low learning efficiency. The lower the learning efficiency is, the more you
want to make up for it by prolonging the learning time, thus falling into a
vicious circle.
The difficulty of learning is demonized by people. Without a relaxed and peaceful
learning attitude, learning is only tired and inefficient.
Strategy
2:
Good
study habits are based on a good study attitude. As long as the attitude is
correct, you will forget yourself and not be tempted by external things. In
fact, it's very simple to learn well. You can take notes in preparation before
class and review them after class.
You can consolidate more and practice more,
even if you can't learn, you can also study books and read them hundreds of
times. Slowly will develop a good habit of learning, when you overcome their
own time to overcome difficulties will not naturally hate learning or even
slowly develop their own interest in learning.
Strategy
3:
Cultivate
"growth thinking". Some people believe that intelligence determines success
or failure. But Carol dwick, a professor of developmental psychology at
Stanford University found that hard-working people can achieve more.
She
suggested that learners should cultivate their own "growth mode of
thinking", that is, they should attribute their achievements to their
efforts rather than intelligence, and encourage themselves to solve problems
through the subjective initiative.
Believe
in yourself. Self-confidence can affect people's ability to solve problems. In
2008, psychologists such as Bobby Hoffman of Georgetown University found that
self-efficacy (i.e. confidence in one's ability) plays an irreplaceable role in
learning. Therefore, regardless of age, learners should believe that they can
learn well.
Don't
blame yourself. Michael wall, a professor at Carlton University in Canada,
tracked 134 college students who failed in the exam and found that in the next
exam, those who immediately came out of regret and self-blame achieved better
results than those who fell into deep self-blame.
Take
a quiz. Taking time for a quiz is more effective than repeating it over and
over. Nat Cornell of the University of California, Los Angeles, explained that
tests can help the brain form a powerful memory that is not easily erased. The
test can also test the learning effect well. But Cornell cautions that testing
as soon as you've learned something new doesn't create a lasting memory.
Grasp
the rhythm of learning. The classic "Ebbinghaus memory curve" in
psychology tells us that the process of forgetting is not uniform, the initial
forgetting speed is very fast, and then gradually slows down. Doug roller, a
psychologist at the University of California, San Diego, further found that
it's not advisable to rush before the exam.
Only by mastering the review time
can we learn effectively. For example, if you want to test what you have
learned in 10 days, the best time to review for the first time is one day after
you have finished. Get enough sleep. Nature, the world's leading academic
journal, published an experimental study by Professor Matthew Walker of the
University of California, Berkeley.
In the experiment, volunteers were asked to remember a group of pictures
containing information about people, places, and events. One group got enough to sleep the night before the experiment, while the other group was forced to stay
up all night.
The results showed that the volunteers who had been deprived of
sleep remembered 19% fewer pictures than those who had enough sleep. Lack of
sleep affects the ability to acquire knowledge, Walker concluded.
Take
a nap when you are tired. Many studies have confirmed that even a ten-minute nap can effectively reduce fatigue and restore attention. However, few people
pay attention to the effect of napping posture on the rest effect. Zhao Dayong,
from the school of psychology, Southwest University of China, found that
napping on the back can reduce fatigue more than lying on the back.

How
to achieve efficient learning? Here, I will introduce a "four
modernizations" learning method to students, that is, digestion,
simplification, sequencing, and networking.
(1) Digestion.
That is, the
process of internalizing the new knowledge and integrating with the old
knowledge. It is the foundation and premise of effective knowledge storage.
Because only digested knowledge can enter the "information base" of
the brain to encode and store, so as to transform it into something of its own.
The real digestion lies in understanding and understanding. If we just memorize
blindly, repeat memory mechanically, eat but not change, and swallow whole
dates, then it is difficult for new knowledge to integrate with existing
knowledge, resulting in a lack of systematic knowledge.
The key to digest
knowledge lies in understanding. Understanding is to comprehend, and perception
is to think, comprehend, and appreciate. No matter what kind of knowledge, only
after thinking, can we understand it thoroughly? Otherwise, even if
occasionally, it will be forgotten soon.
(2) Simplify.
It is to
simplify the complicated knowledge, visualize the abstract knowledge, and
organize the disordered knowledge by using concrete thinking, abstract logical
thinking, divergent thinking, centralized thinking, and other ways of thinking,
with concise formula, symbol, chart, or general language, and other forms. The key to simplification is to transform and condense information.
"Simplicity
is the ultimate complexity" -- Da Vinci
It's a myth
that Superman learners learn 10 languages, write three novels, and read 15 books
about different subjects at the same time. Multitasking results in poor
performance.
A study
conducted by the University of London found that people who open e-mails while
focused on their work had a 10 point drop in IQ. If you don't sleep for 36 hours,
you lose 10 IQ. If you smoke marijuana, you lose four IQ. Too much
distraction silenced us.
Super
learners, like Leonardo Da Vinci, have experienced a period of intense
immersion. Although Leonardo da Vinci is famous for his scientists and artists,
he was not interested in mathematics until he was 40. Then he spent five years
learning all he could do.
As we learn,
we must simplify. We have to focus on one topic. Taking on too many tasks at
the same time will weaken our learning ability.
(3) Sequencing.
That is to
say, it is an indispensable step to sort out and code knowledge, to link the
old and the new knowledge. Sequencing is the process of bringing knowledge into
the container. In the order of knowledge, knowledge should be classified first,
then coded and positioned, and finally chained.
(4) Networking.
With the
increasingly extensive and in-depth development of learning and practice
activities, subject knowledge is gradually increasing, and the number and
categories are also constantly enriched.
At this time, the most important thing
is to network knowledge and form a reasonable and interrelated subject
knowledge system with knowledge in chains. A text, a book, a subject, has a
knowledge network. We must find it, master it, and link it in our original
knowledge network so that all kinds of knowledge can play a greater role.
The key to building a knowledge network is to
understand and master the elements and the interrelations among them and to
follow the internal logic of knowledge.
With this network structure, it is more
conducive to the digestion and understanding of knowledge, thus reducing the
repetition of learning activities and enhancing the sensitivity of capturing
information and knowledge.
In this way, it is not only beneficial to memory
storage but also beneficial to practical application, so the learning
efficiency is naturally improved.
It is better
to get fish than to get fish. "Four modernizations learning method"
is an efficient and quick learning method. It follows the rule of learning step
by step and pays attention to the cultivation of knowledge understanding and
application ability. Students should learn to use this method, I believe it
will benefit you for life!

Many
students study very hard, but their grades never go up. Why is that?
Originally, there should be a return to pay, and, pay more should return a lot,
this is a matter of course. However, this is not the case in practice. There is
a problem with efficiency.
What does efficiency mean? It's like learning
something. Some people need to practice ten times, while others need to
practice one hundred times. There is a problem with efficiency. Learning
efficiency is an important factor in determining learning achievement. So, how
can we improve our learning efficiency?
First, work
and rest. The most important thing to improve learning efficiency is a clear
and agile mind, so proper rest and entertainment are not only beneficial but
also necessary, which are the basis of improving learning efficiency.
Play when
you play, study when you learn. Study and play must be separated. I love to
play since I was a child, but once I start class, I will listen attentively.
Once I start to write my homework, I will write my homework wholeheartedly. I
don't want to play at all. Such learning is efficient learning.
Second, ask
more questions. Some students have a poor foundation, always have problems in the
learning process, and are shy of asking for advice. As a result, they are
depressed and absent-minded. How to improve learning efficiency.
Therefore,
we must ask more questions. Of course, it is also learned to ask questions. If
you can't see whether you won't, it's not called diligent study, but laziness.
If you encounter problems, you must have your own thinking process. If you
really don't understand them, ask your teachers and classmates. You can't ask
"how to do this problem?" Instead, ask "why?".
In this way,
we should understand what we don't understand, learn other people's thinking
methods, and accumulate little by little, so as to make progress. In this way,
we can gradually improve efficiency.
Third, use
"brain" to learn. The process of learning should be the process of
thinking with the brain. Whether you look with your eyes, read with your mouth,
or copy with your hands, it is used as a means of auxiliary use of the brain.
The real key lies in thinking with the brain. Take a very simple example, for
example, memorizing words. If you just browse or copy aimlessly, it may take
many times to remember, and it is not easy to remember. If you can give full
play to your imagination and use the method of association to remember, you can
remember quickly, and it is not easy to forget.
Now many books introduce the
method of fast memory of English words, which also emphasizes the role of brain
Association. It can be seen that if we can concentrate our energy and give full
play to the potential of the brain, we can greatly improve the effectiveness of
learning.
Fourth,
efficient "listening". There must be a preview before class, not too
detailed. As long as the content and key points in the textbook are roughly in
mind, listening to the class is more targeted. In addition, taking notes is
also learned.
You can't take everything. Sometimes you are busy taking notes
and don't hear the most important knowledge that the teacher says. Because of
the preview, I know what the teacher says is in the book and what is not in the
book.
Some of the books don't need to be written down, or you can add notes
after class. If the teacher doesn't have them on the tree, you must write them
down. When I remember, I can also invent some symbols that I understand to
simplify notes and supplement them after class
Fifth,
efficient "problem-solving". How to improve the efficiency of problem-solving? The most important thing is to choose the right questions. You can't
do it without seeing the questions. In that case, you will get twice the
result.
The questions are all around the knowledge points, and many of them are
quite similar. First, select the knowledge points to be strengthened, and then
select the questions around the knowledge points. The questions do not need to
be many.
As long as one of the similar questions is enough, then draw
inferences from one example. For the wrong questions, we should seriously think
about the reasons for the mistakes, whether the knowledge points are unclear or
careless.
After analysis, we should do it again to deepen our impression. At
last, we should prepare a wrong question book, record all the wrong questions
on it, and review it at any time. In this way, the efficiency of doing the questions
will be much higher.
Sixth, happy
mood. People's mood is an important factor that affects learning efficiency.
Everyone has ever had this experience. If one day, his spirit is full and his
mood is high, he will feel very relaxed and learn quickly when learning
something.
In fact, this is the time when our learning efficiency is high.
Therefore, it is very important to keep a good mood. In our daily life, we
should have a more open mind, don't think too much about the unpleasant things,
and we should treat the people and things around us with a warm and optimistic
attitude towards life, because no matter what
Others are
still good for themselves.
In this way, we can create a very relaxed atmosphere
around ourselves and feel extra energetic when learning.
Seventh, pay
attention to sorting out. In the learning process, the textbooks, assignments, and materials of all subjects are put together regularly. When waiting for use,
you will know where it is at a glance.
When some students look up a book, they
can't find it. Time passes in a busy and anxious search. It can be said that
students who are not organized will not learn well.
Finally,
learning must pay attention to methods, and the essential purpose of improving
learning methods is to improve learning efficiency. The level of learning
efficiency is the embodiment of a student's comprehensive learning ability. In
the age of students, the level of learning efficiency mainly has an impact on
learning performance.
When a person enters society, he or she must learn
new knowledge and skills in the work. At this time, the level of learning
efficiency will affect his or her work performance and then affect his or her
career and future. It can be seen that in the middle school stage to develop
good learning habits, with higher learning efficiency, is of great benefit to
the development of human life.
It
can be said that a person with high learning efficiency must be a student with
good academic performance (by implication, good academic performance does not
necessarily mean high learning efficiency). Therefore, for most students,
improving learning efficiency is a direct way to improve learning performance.
Improving
learning efficiency is not a matter of one day and one night. It needs
long-term exploration and accumulation. The previous experience can be used for
reference, but it must be fully combined with its own characteristics. There
are many factors that affect the efficiency of learning, but more are outside
of learning.
First of all, we should develop good study habits and make
rational use of time. In addition, we should pay attention to the cultivation
of basic qualities such as "concentration, heart, and perseverance".
We should have a deep understanding of our own advantages and disadvantages. In
a word, "nothing is difficult in the world, just afraid of the intentional
people".
