In the blink of an eye, Chu.
1. The first half of the first semester of senior high school has ended, and I believe you have adapted to the new study and have an understanding of your grades.
Before many people reacted, the second half of the semester had already started for a week, and it was getting closer and closer to the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination.
With the reform of the high school entrance examination and the development of artificial intelligence, I can also clearly feel itMore and more students and parents are beginning to pay attention to college planning.
Indeed, in a state where information changes rapidly, but the social upward channel tends to be stable, this is something that families must pay attention to.
After all, good planning can save children from many detours.
Speaking of this, you may say, this is difficult, the child is still young, and he doesn't know what he likes, the school is so much, there are so many majors, and there is so much information, I really don't know where to start.
It's okay not to do it, like our generation, we have never made a plan, and we haven't come over, but think about it, is your life going with the flow, or is every step solid and powerful?
Therefore, there are some things that we must do, although it is difficult and complicated, but I also sincerely suggest that you start paying attention to the information of further education as soon as possible, the sooner you pay attention, the more confident you will be, and the less confused you will be.
So, how, exactly?
Today, I would like to take Wang Xiaoou, who is in the first year of junior high school in Beijing, as an example to share with you my thoughts on further education planning.
Before we begin, I've prepared a concise flowchart for you to bookmark, share, and view at any time.
I've tried to explain this picture in the time of an article, the content will be a bit long, but I believe that it will help you relieve your anxiety and stop being confused.
From now on, at the beginning.
1. Students in the first year of high school, don't let yourself lose in your college planning.
Be clear about your goals
Aimless efforts are like an expedition in the dark; For a ship without direction, the wind in all directions is a headwind.
Wang Yangming said in "Dogma Shows the Life of the Dragon Field": "If the will is not established, there is nothing to be done in the world. Today's scholars are lazy, and they are sluggish, and they have achieved nothing, all because they have not set up their ambitions. Therefore, if you aspire to be holy, you will be holy; If you are determined to be virtuous, you will be virtuous; If you don't stand up, like a rudderless boat, a horse without a title, drifting and galloping, what will happen in the end.
Aspiration is to set goals, and clear goals are the foundation and premise of learning, which runs through the whole process of learning. If the goal is not determined, there is nothing to succeed in, because it answers the question of where to go.
There is such a story in Alice in Wonderland.
Once, Alice got lost and came to a fork in the road, not knowing which direction to go, and it was here that she met a cat and asked, "Should I go **?" The cat replied, "Do you know you're going to **?" Alice shook her head. The cat then said, "Then you can go to the left or to the right."
Left or right", for a student's growth, it can mean lying flat, which will be fatal.
Without a destination, there can be no arrival, and without a goal, everything is in the air.
But how does this goal come about?
Of course, we didn't come up with a pat on the head, and in fact, we don't need to pat our heads, because there have been countless people who have helped us go through this matter of college planning, and all we have to do is to collect and sort out the data to help us position.
If Wang Xiaoou is now in the first year of junior high school, in Haidian, if the score is around 500 points (the score is virtual), he is now ranked about 13,500, and the child's goal is to go to high school.
The above picture is the admission situation of ordinary high schools in Beijing in 2021, you can see that the admission rate of high school students in Beijing Haidian in 2021 is 81%, ranking in the 133319, Wang Xiaoou's score is about 135,000, there are some from the goal, but it is not far away, it belongs to hard work, not to mention that the child is currently in the first year of junior high school, and there are still two and a half years to go, and it is not difficult to promote 500, that is, a parent-child with 5 points.
So, is it really hard?
Actually, it's not that hard, a lot of times it's just us scaring ourselves.
In addition, Xiaoou thought, I still want to go to college, even if I am admitted to high school, what if I can't go to college?
At this point, we will still talk about the data:
Beijing's undergraduate line is 445 points, ranking 42878, based on the calculation of 55201 people taking the college entrance examination, the undergraduate admission probability is about 78%, that is to say, with Xiaoou's current strength, 2 and a half years of junior high school, 3 years of high school, with the right method, it is not difficult to take an undergraduate exam.
Jump and reach.
Clear positioning
Jump and reach.
So how do you jump?
It's important to find where you are now.
So, how do you find where you are in the moment?
We need to comprehensively position ourselves from the following five dimensions:
1.knowledge base;
Why Knowledge?
Junior high school, high school, unlike primary school, everyone is a blank slate, entering junior high school, each child's knowledge reserve is different, for example, some children read a lot of popular science books in primary school, from the book to learn that there are four major states on the earth, five oceans, China has 34 provincial-level administrative regions, etc., then, when he learns geographical knowledge, it must be easier;
Of course, this kind of knowledge will only affect the efficiency of the child's understanding of new knowledge;
There is also a type of knowledge reserve that directly affects whether children can understand the class.
For example, in mathematics, if you haven't listened to the teacher talk about decimal addition and subtraction in elementary school, and you don't know the rules of calculation, then it will be difficult to understand in junior high school.
If you don't understand it, if you can't learn it, it's more difficult to get points.
So, how do you find out what you have mastered and what you haven't?
The answer is exams.
Monthly exams, mid-term exams, final exams, and usual questions are all questions that help us detect and locate our knowledge reserves, which ones we understand, which ones we don't understand, it's easy, if you do it right, you understand, if you don't do it right, you just don't understand.
2.learning ability;
The same sits in the classroom, but everyone's learning ability is different.
For example, on the same first day of geometry class, some children listened with relish, and some children did not understand anything.
Geometry, first of all, needs to be sensitive to figures, and secondly, it needs the ability to represent and be able to find the relationship between figures.
But every child's ability in this area is different.
Some children are visual learners, some children are phonological learners, some children have strong representational ability, and some children have weak representational ability, and they are definitely different in understanding geometry and looking at pictures.
So, how do you know what you're capable of learning?
The answer is a professional assessment tool.
For example, the FAI assessment tool we use from the Beijing Positive Psychology Association helps children identify their learning potential.
Through such a report, you can basically see the shortcomings of the child's learning ability, find the shortcomings, and then give corresponding training, so that the shortcomings of the child's ability can be easily made up.
For example, attention, with Schulte squares, you can see the effect clearly after a few times.
3.study habits and planning;
All the results of life are a collection of habits;
Good study habits will naturally lead to good results.
So what are good study habits?
In my opinion, it is whether the whole process of learning can be closed.
So, what is a learning loop?
A complete learning loop should include: preview - listen to lectures - practice - review - test - chapter integration (knowledge system);
Each link corresponds to different habits.
For example, how to take notes during the lecture session.
Some children don't take any notes;
Some children keep writing notes, so that the teacher doesn't know anything;
Some children according to the teacher's curriculum and their own ability, should remember, the teacher speaks quickly, can't remember, abbreviate, supplement after class, etc.;
Different note-taking habits will inevitably lead to different results in the absorption of knowledge in the classroom.
There are also homework writing, some children seem to have procrastination, procrastinate all the time, some children write homework sloppily, and some children take out their own planning books before writing homework, and plan and organize each homework.
So, how can you tell if your child's study habits are good?
You can observe your child, check your child's class notes, and chat.
We usually do this through questionnaires and interviews:
Study habits test.
The above are some of the questions in our study habits test, if you also want to know more about your child, you can get this test form by private message;
4.execution and self-discipline;
Execution is action, and it is also the most important part of realizing the ideal.
Because it's important, I need to give it a whole block.
Action, the only way to the ideal
Only action can make dreams come true, and only struggle can make the future promising;
No matter how clear the goal is, no matter how accurate the positioning is, down-to-earth action is still needed.
Action, simple and simple, is nothing more than planning, execution, and feedback.
Not simple is less that can be done, and even less can be done more persistently.
Therefore, there is a saying that the distance between people is the distance of action.
So, how do you do the right thing?
Next, let's take Wang Xiaoou as an example to talk about how to act.
Through the ** of the goal, we know that Xiaoou's goal is to go to high school, preferably college, and undergraduate, and the current grades are some distance from the goal.
Through systematic evaluation, it was found that Xiaoou's two weakest subjects were mathematics and English, and in terms of learning ability, it was the ability to appear and the ability to maintain attention.
As shown in Fig
Mathematics needs representational ability, English needs language ability, both of which require children to be able to maintain the task of learning, English is slightly better, mathematics, most of them need to be summarized, inducted, pay attention to the maintenance is not high, and natural learning is not good.
Of course, there are also psychological and social problems;
This needs to be discussed with the child a little bit.
There are so many problems, how to solve them?
First, make a list of questions (as shown in the image);
In fact, after sorting out the problems with the children, we will find that the problems that affect the children's grades are really not the knowledge problems in the textbooks, but the problems of psychology, socialization, learning habits, etc., and these problems are the foundation of learning.
But because the foundation is not strong, the result is that I can't memorize words, I can't understand the math teacher's class, I'm stupid, and in the end, it's a pity to give up learning.
Step 2: Find a solution;
For example, through the assessment, we know that there are the following main reasons that affect a child's math score:
1.Attention problems: Because of the low attention maintenance, children are particularly prone to distraction during class, and because of family reasons, children have a lot of internal friction in their mentality;
2.Knowledge reserve problem: Xiaoou had good grades in primary school, but the turning point was mainly due to the epidemic online classes, and he was often unable to focus on listening to lectures, which led to more knowledge loopholes and failed to make up for them in time.
How to solve these problems?
The advice we give is to use 2 minutes to train concentration before each class or homework, through repeated training, on the one hand, to strengthen concentration, on the other hand, it can also make children feel that as long as I practice more, my ability can be improved;
Secondly, preview in advance, because children pay attention to maintaining low and easy to be distracted, one of the main reasons is not that children do not want to learn, but do not understand, such as the language that children like, he particularly likes, so preview in advance, so that children are familiar with the content of the teacher, reduce the difficulty of the course, and gradually improve children's confidence in mathematics;
Again, it is review, because the child has a lot of knowledge loopholes before, mathematics is one link after another, the front does not understand, the back must not understand, so, through review, do questions, and discuss with the child every question that will not do, see what aspects the child has knowledge loopholes before, help them make up, and then summarize and form their own thinking mode;
The third step is to plan the plan;
The child leaves school at 5:30 every day, arrives home at almost 6:30, does homework until 8 o'clock, and has nearly 2 hours left to make up for math.
Since the first year of junior high school is still relatively wealthy, the teacher is teaching new knowledge points every day, and it takes about 80 minutes a day to preview, review, and organize according to the progress of the teacher's lecture.
At the same time, the child's English is still relatively weak, and it takes another 20 minutes to memorize words, just 100 minutes, and it is almost time to go to bed after doing it.
Formation **, as shown in Fig.:
Keep records. Step 4: Execution.
For children like Xiaoou, it is best for parents to accompany the child one-on-one in the early stage, help the child adjust every detail, and then slowly let go when the child learns and forms a stable habit.
The result comes from the process, and if you want your child to have super execution, you need three steps:
The first stage, I'll show you;
In the second stage, I watched you do it;
In the third stage, you do it for me to see, and then you can let go.
Just like the master teaches the apprentice to repair the car, he must tell the apprentice to tighten the screw like this, make a demonstration, and then ask the apprentice to do it again in his own way, after a few times, he found that the apprentice can get it himself, so he said, it's okay, I'm leaving, you can screw the rest of the screws yourself.
Learning is the same, not at the beginning of the child to write by himself, it must also be a process, how to focus, how to sort out the wrong questions, etc., I will do it for you first, and then I will watch you sort it out, and when the child finds that this is really beneficial, let the child act on his own.
Step 5: Feedback;
Archive your child's information and solve any problems one by one.
Build a closed loop of learning, as long as it is implemented carefully, it will definitely have results;
Really good people are people of action.
Accidentally, I said so much again, let me take a breath first.
Well, this is Xiaoou's plan for further education.
The present you are not equal to the future you, we can have two interpretations of this sentence, one is that as long as you act, the counterattack belongs to you; The other is that if you lie flat, you will get farther and farther away from high school.
Goals, positioning, and paths, this is the planning of further education.
Seeing this, you may ask: After talking for a long time, Wang Xiaoou, how is your baby's planning doing?
To be honest, just like that, I'm also on the side, reflecting and correcting at the same time;
Therefore, it is no wonder that many parents can't persevere, it's too difficult.
To collect information, to demonstrate, to have physical strength;
However, my own experience is that even if you spend a lot of time on this, your child may not be able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but I think it is worth it.
Because exploring goals, knowing oneself, and allowing oneself to realize one's ideals are not only necessary for students, but also compulsory for adults.
Since these have to be used sooner or later.
No, from now on.
I wish you a solid foundation;
I wish you victory over the mountains;
