"Turn" to make learning system, the benefit of a big wave of youth

Premise:

I default here "study", belongs to promote oneself category, not refers to the kind of examination.

All of the following are based on interest. No interest, everything is a falsehood.

System is the right path of learning. The only thing learned is to be included in one's own knowledge system. Fragmented knowledge of fragmentation is of no value.

Specifically, there are several steps:

1. Learn about Tools

No matter what field you want to study, the first step is to first understand the research tools in this field-such as terminology, such as research methods, such as the basic knowledge of the field, and so on. So:

Choose a well-known, authoritative textbook, and make sure the terminology that appears in it is all clear.

This step does not need to ask to understand how much, can understand the terms can be.

In fact, no matter how much you read the popular reading, in the end, the basic teaching materials this is always around the past. Best-selling books look good, easy, but learning is a difficult process. Because, learning is to break the inherent barriers and links in the brain, to establish new nodes and networks, the process is the same as changing habits, must be full of hardships. By contrast, the best-selling readings are just a little bit of a conversation that makes you think you've learned something, and it's not going to help you rebuild your knowledge of the field. On the other hand, the best-selling reading books in order to ensure readability, the interpretation of the concept will inevitably be more vague and simple, if not through the basic teaching materials to play a good foundation, it is easy to produce an understanding of the deviation.

2. Creating a context

After understanding the underlying tools, it is the overview that builds the context of this domain. (This is the outline that I often say to you) this step, to read several books describing the different periods, also do not seek deep understanding, the development of this field is clear, in the brain to establish a time axis, to find out what the different periods, each period roughly what characteristics, what is known as "node character", and so on.

I recommend using an electronic note (because the length can be extended indefinitely), both EVERNOTE and ONENOTE can. Create a new page, each reading a book, summed up the corresponding context in the book, add in. After reading a series of books, the long chart was finished.

When you're done, make sure it's firmly in your head, and then you can throw it away ...

It is not recommended to use the off-the-shelf timeline. Because, in this process, the focus is not to make the timeline of this thing, but to put the history of this field into your brain. You need to write and improve one step at a way to strengthen your memory. Moreover, each person reads the book, draws the vein the way, summarizes the content the focus is not necessarily the same, suits own is the best.

3. Identify points of interest

A field of things that you cannot master all. So, after finishing the context, the next step is to find out where you are interested, based on the understanding of the process. (That's what I used to say to you, the key breakthrough)

The essence of learning is "connection". The relationship between the old concept and the new concept, the connection between the single concept and the extension concept, the relationship between different fields ... Only by constantly expanding the "connection" is the goal of learning.

Describes a method:

Every learning point, you can pretend to speak to others in the heart, and then stand in the perspective of others to ask questions, and then try to answer. (This is what I said to self-answer, as the interviewer and the interviewee)

The effect of this method is very good, one can enhance your memory of it, and then you can find things you have not understood, has been a lot of friends to verify.

4. Establish contact

What is a connection? When you come into contact with a new concept, the position of the concept in your brain is activated and updated, and then everything associated with it establishes a new causal logic, which is contact. (This is the way I always take you from a point of association, to review past knowledge)

When you learn a concept, other concepts associated with it are activated, which is also a link and a more important link. For example, when you study social psychology, you may want to learn about the media. In history, you may be interested in the economic policies of a dynasty, such as the rent of the Tang Dynasty, and you may be able to learn about economic and fiscal policies in macroeconomics, or read economic history, see how taxes affect a country, or how other countries and other times have solved the problem. What are the pros and cons of different initiatives? Wait a minute.

This step, read the time to pay attention to two points:

1) Read with questions. Every time you read a place, ask yourself why, and then try to solve it. Can look up the book, check the information, Chaviki, resolved to continue to read. Don't worry about affecting your reading efficiency. Remember, you are studying to learn, to understand a field, not to read the book.

2) Take good notes.

In this process, all the bits and pieces of knowledge can be incorporated into your notes and become part of your knowledge system. Only in this way can these fragmentary knowledge be of value.

In this step of the study, you write these notes, is your most important learning results. Because they show you the process of thinking and the results.

Further, it can also be useful to learn how to exercise this kind of questioning-thinking-expanding way of thinking. Practice more, you will find that when looking at the problem, the speed is much faster, the angle and depth will be improved.

5. Expansion and application

Repeat these steps to focus on different points of interest in the same field, or in different areas, in-depth, digging, building connections, and integrating all these things in the thinking level, which is your "knowledge system".

Then, let your knowledge system glow and apply them. Write blogs, write answers, teach to others ... In this process, you will deepen your understanding of them while discovering the neglected obstacles and conquering them.

This is actually the most important step.

Many people advocate "doing high school", because any knowledge in the final analysis is to "use". You write an article to introduce, to discuss, also belong to "use". The knowledge that you learn, only can apply, is really belong to you. The application itself, is also the process of internal.

By this step, you are already getting started. Next, is to use their own way to work hard ~
