When parents talk about whose child is good at Xi, they often say "that child is smart".
And children with poor grades are often called "stupid". Some parents even think their children are stupid.
Smart and stupid are talking about IQ.
Some attribute the disparity in children's achievement to differences in intelligence or effort.
Although IQ and whether they study seriously Xi do affect children's grades, in a class, children who do not study Xi at all are a minority, and children with abnormal IQs or IQs that are significantly lower than ordinary people are also a minority.
Let's start with a set of data:
100 115 is a normal IQ, an IQ of more than 130 is considered an extraordinary intelligence, a genius of 160, and a lower than 90 is mentally retarded.
China has done a statistical study on the IQ of adolescents, and the research report shows:
Students with IQs below 90 or above 130 account for only 2% of all students.
At this ratio, it is difficult to identify a student with an IQ that is too low or too high in a class of 40 people.
In other words, in non-special education schools, the IQ level of children in each class is roughly the same.
And the data on the impact of IQ on academic Xi performance:
At the primary level, the impact of IQ on Xi achievement is 06~0.7；At the secondary school level, the impact of IQ on academic Xi performance drops to 05。
In other words, in primary school, children's top grades may depend on IQ, and excellent grades in junior high school and high school have a "half-dime relationship" with IQ at most!
What are the real factors that affect Xi academic performance?
What really affects Xi academic performance is logical thinking.
Whether the expression is smooth or not, whether the thinking is rigorous, and whether the thinking is fast or slow are all closely related to a person's logical thinking ability. Many times, we focus on the learning Xi knowledge, but largely ignore the training of logical thinking.
It manifests itself in various ways:
LanguageIn class, some children answer questions for a long time and can't tell the ins and outs, while some children speak clearly and concisely.
MathematicsDuring the exam, some children need to spend a lot of time solving the same question in complex and lengthy steps, and the complex process often leads to mistakes in the middleSome children only need to spend half the time, and the steps to solve the problem are interlocking and the argument is clear.
EnglishSome children in the class always can't understand the grammar, the same knowledge points, but the question type is changed, and they don't know each other;Others, on the other hand, are always able to grasp the pattern and be comfortable with any type of question.
Stanford University pointed out in the "Research Report on Children's Brain Development" that 7-13 years old is the first period for cultivating children's logical thinking.
After the age of 13, the development of children's "cognitive ability" gradually stagnates, and once the "window" of thinking ability is closed, it is difficult to open again. The sooner you develop your child's logical thinking skills, the better!
Logical thinking ability is the ability to think correctly and reasonably.
It is one of the best abilities of all thinking skills, and it is also the core ability that children can master by learning Xi children's programming.
Have you noticed a problem?
Compared with the casualness and emotion of communication between humans, when talking to the computer, it is necessary to have rigorous and rational thinking, and give accurate instructions at every step, so that the computer can act according to its own ideas and will not let the results deviate.
In order for the computer to understand what we are saying, we need to be rational, rigorous, and organized. When children try to think about problems from the perspective of a computer, they also learn Xi and exercise what we often call "programming thinking".
Children who speak logically and do things logically, when they encounter a difficult big problem, they are calm and calm, they know how to draw inferences from one another, and they will disassemble the solution to the problem in an orderly and orderly manner, and then patiently complete it step by step.
At the same time, in the process of solving problems, they will also have a strong ability to resist interference and pay very much attention. Don't give up halfway.
On the other hand, children who lack logical thinking have scattered and incomplete thinking. I don't have an idea of doing things, I often don't like to dig into problems, and I give up early.
In the process of programming, children need to think step by step about how to make the computer understand, and logical thinking will be greatly developed and exercised. At the same time, there will also be trial and error and correction in the process, which can further exercise children's patience and concentration.
The cultivation of problem-finding and problem-solving ability is an important part of logical thinking ability, which plays an important role in improving children's academic Xi performance in cultural courses.
Wise parents know that for children, the learning Xi of skills and tools is short-term, but the cultivation of thinking and literacy can be widely used in learning Xi and life, and benefit in the long run. Relevant surveys show that children will form a mindset after the age of 15. If a child has never had the opportunity to develop unique creativity before, then when a child encounters something beyond his current ability, it is easy to be confined to the brain's mindset and fail to achieve results beyond his current ability, and life is likely to become mediocre from then on.
Xiaoxin and Xiaohua always pay attention to the cultivation of children's thinking style, and hope that children can exercise children's logical thinking ability and enhance children's creativity through systematic programming Xi, so that children can fully enjoy the fun of creation and avoid premature thinking patterns.
