Luo Xiang said:We learn because of our ignorance, and the more we learn, the more we acknowledge our ignorance. Socrates said:Acknowledging your ignorance is the key to wisdom. Everyone is no stranger to learning, but after so many years of studying, have you thought about what learning is? I used to think that learning is to understand the theorems, definitions, concepts, etc. in the textbook thoroughly, analyze them, do problems, and solve practical problems. For school students, this is really an important part of learning, and at its core: on the edge of the comfort zone of learning, triggering thinking, putting it into action, and expanding the comfort zone. So how do we do it? 1. Determine our learning goals and implementation paths
In learning, we first need to determine our learning direction, and then put it into action to push ourselves to make changes. Just like running**, you can't rush as soon as you come up, which will make the body bear unbearable pain, the correct way is to alternate brisk walking and jogging, adjust your breathing, the first 20 minutes, most of the body consumes water, not fat, in the last 15 to 20 minutes of fast running, so that the fat loss effect is better. The same is true for learning, when you have set your goals and directions, then develop a feasible approach to achieve the best results by making the most appropriate efforts. 2. Find the amount of learning that suits you
What is the best amount? Don't copy the methods of the top students, and give yourself the best amount to suit yourself. A classmate came to me about the study of physics and made up his mind to make his physics grades go to the next level. He said that he should do at least 20 questions a day and correct and reflect. A week later, he came to me and said, "Teacher, no, now I've done my physics problems and I can't hold on." "I suggested that he do 10 questions a day, reflect on them, and stop when he finished. After two days of work, he felt much more relaxed, both challenging and fulfilling. During this period, he also truly realized the difference between taking the initiative and relying on willpower to hold on. At the same time, I also found a way to keep my learning going. 3. Lower the standard and difficulty, and constantly expand your comfort zoneSometimes, the standards set for yourself are too high and too difficult, and it is difficult to complete and adhere to them for a while, so you should lower the standards appropriately. For example, if some questions are too difficult and far beyond your ability, you must give up decisively, first complete the same type of questions that you can complete, gradually explore the edge of your comfort zone, and persevere, and eventually you will be able to overcome the difficulties and solve the difficult problems. How do you find the edge of your comfort zone? Treat your homework like an exam and pay attentionComplete the most questions in the shortest amount of timeKeep exposing the problem, and finally focus on the content that you get wrong but can understand with a little effortIf you insist on it, you will be pushed to the edge of your comfort zone unconsciously. Finally, it's important to remember that "quick fixes" are not possible, and the most effective way to learn is to constantly expand your comfort zone and do more "challenging things that can be rewarding at the same time".
