Recently, a father on Douyin has become popular, because of a **Like 25w, it has successfully risen from thousands of fans to 73w, just because this father not only created a good learning environment in family education, but also used the Feynman method to study with his children in terms of tutoring homework. This method is also a learning method highly recommended by Dong Yuhui, the recently popular New Oriental anchor.
The simple understanding is "to call others in your own language what you have learned", active learning, and learning for the purpose of "output".
There was once a farmer father, he had two children, a boy and a girl, one went to Peking University and the other entered Tsinghua University. The farmer's father said: "I'm not educated, and I don't really have any tricks – I'm just letting my children teach me!"
The farmer's father said: When the child was in elementary school, every day after school, he would let the child tell him what the teacher said again; When the child is doing homework, he will also read the child's textbook, and if he does not understand something, he will ask the child, and if the child cannot answer, he will ask the teacher again tomorrow when he goes to school.
Many of our parents always regard themselves as elders when tutoring homework, and if the child is slightly wrong, the small one will raise his voice, and the big one will start directly. In fact, this method not only affects the parent-child relationship, but also separates the relationship between yourself and the child; At the same time, it also failed to improve children's academic performance and interest in learning.
In 1946, the famous American scholar Edgar Dell put forward the "learning pyramid" theory, pointing out that human learning is divided into passive learning and active learning, and the retention rate of memory is also different in different learning methods. The more active we are, the higher the memory retention rate.
Passive learning: listening, watching, listening + watching (image), demonstration, absorption efficiency is % in order. Teachers and parents teach homework to children and solve problems is a passive learning method.
Active learning: teach others or use it immediately, and the absorption efficiency is %. It is an active learning method for children to take the initiative to output the knowledge they have learned and explain it to others.
Treat children as teachers, and our parents as whites! - Help your child with homework.
1. Let the child simulate being a little teacher: tell the parents what they have learned that day;
2. In the process of speaking, our parents should be white: ask if you don't understand, find problems or difficulties in the process of children's speaking, simplify the problem, and check and solve it again;
Specifically, the Feynman method of learning has four steps.
Step 1: Identify your goals.
Choose what to learn, it can be a new text, it can be a book, it can be a concept, it can be a theory, it can be a technology.
Then, clarify the learning objectives and express the learning objectives you want to achieve with clear indicators.
Goals can be determined according to the SMART principle, i.e., specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based.
Step 2: Teach others.
Let the child imitate that he is a teacher, and the child needs to use his own words to explain the learning content of a certain knowledge point, so that the "student" can fully understand.
Here, our "students" can be family members, friends, or ourselves.
Step 3: Find the stuck point and repeat the review.
When teaching what you're learning to others, you may get stuck, can't explain clearly, or get stumped by the other person's questions.
At this time, it is necessary to record these places, and then go back to the original learning materials, re-understand the links that are not firmly grasped, and find answers to the existing questions.
This is the task to be completed in the third step - to solve the blind spots of thinking and knowledge. Those things that can't be explained, or questions that can't be answered, are knowledge blind spots.
If there is only input and no output, then it will be difficult for anyone to find their knowledge blind spots.
After all, seeing and really mastering are two completely different states.
Step 4: Simplify the language until the other person understands it.
Finally, when you add the stuck points and doubts you encounter in the narration, you need to teach others in your own language again, and express them in a more concise and easy-to-understand language.
If the explanation is complex or confusing, further generalization of knowledge and streamlining of language is required. This step may not seem much different from the previous one, but it is actually quite different.
If you can explain a complex concept clearly with your own logic and concise and plain language, without using any industry jargon in the process, and can be understood by laymen, even children and the elderly, then you have truly achieved a thorough understanding.
The first is to use more pen to remember.
In terms of language, whether it is the wonderful sentences in the book or the spark of thought that flashes in the brain during the reading process, if you don't write it down at the time, you will forget it as soon as the time passes. Write it down with a pen in time, and it becomes a child.
Mathematics: Sort out the wrong problem book, write down the wrong questions, write down the classic questions, and understand them, and the level will naturally improve day by day.
The second is to tell others more.
In terms of learning migrant workers, parents regard themselves as students, let their children be teachers, let children tell us what they have learned, and ask us if we don't understand, so that children can find ways and answers to constantly consolidate knowledge, straighten out knowledge, and memorize it.
Primary school is the most important period for cultivating study habits, and the Feynman learning method allows children to learn more and more excitedly, learn more and more interestingly, find themselves, and become a top student.
