27th: "Learn less but test well learn more Study lesser"

"Learn less but test well learn more Study lesser" this book was first seen from the faded web site, Crowncheng translated the full text. This book introduces a lot of learning methods, very suitable for students in the school, the original author Scott Young in high school and university performance is very good, but the time spent on study is not too much.

The book introduced the holistic (holistic learning method) This word, used to learn from rote learning (Rote memorization) difference, the fourth part of the books is divided into a summary, so the main content is actually three parts:

First, the strategy strategy

Second, technical technology

Third, other beyond (translator to surpass, but in fact, talk about some of the learning-related energy management, planning and other matters)

I. Holistic learning strategy 1. Three Concepts

The authors first introduced three concepts to describe how information is stored in the brain, and in order to understand these three concepts, the authors used a city map to make metaphors.

structure construct: The author makes an analogy with the urban city. There are many buildings and roads in the city, buildings without roads will be hard to find, and a knowledge point if there are multiple channels connected, you will be more likely to understand and apply this knowledge point.

Model: This book uses "book Directory" to illustrate that the purpose of model is to compress information, and the analogy metaphor is a method of compressing information.

Highway Highway: The highway between cities, want to all kinds of knowledge point active, actually is these creative connection method.

In reading this book, these three concepts are quite difficult to understand, at least for me. I feel that the most important thing is the connection (that is, the highway here, to put together a variety of knowledge points) and metaphor (with the familiar things to describe the newly-learned knowledge), when the connection of knowledge points more and more, perhaps the efficiency of learning will be more and more high bar.

What needs to be emphasized here is that the word metaphor, translated into metaphors in the dictionary, is often translated into metaphors and metaphors , which are used to differentiate from similes ( simile ), the two words actually literary words.

The translations in the original text are as follows:

metaphor plays a similar role in holistic learning, and metaphor is a bridge of communication between unfamiliar knowledge and familiar knowledge. Metaphor in literature mainly provides a visual similarity, in the holistic learning metaphor is similar to the process, the sequence of events or information (in fact, the analogy does not have to rigidly adhere to the two how similar, as long as there is a little resemblance, whether it is visual, auditory, sensory or intuitive, and no matter the principle, purpose or process, can be likened to, Metaphor is the method of building a model).

The author of the book argues that holistic learning is a model of the learning process that occurs in the brain, a metaphor. The author highly advocates this metaphor,

Translator Crowncheng that the essence of this book lies in the Metaphor method, the core of holistic learning is the metaphor method. The essence of metaphor is a method of understanding new knowledge with existing knowledge structure, but this kind of understanding does not contribute to the original knowledge structure, but uses the familiar model to help us understand the integration of new knowledge and relations.

2. Familiar with structure

When we talk about the structure construct , we refer to several familiar familiar structures, the perceptual structure (Sensory constructs) and the relational structure (relationship constructs) and the underlying mathematical structure (basic math constructs). Whatever the structure, in fact, is based on your personal experience, if you are familiar with physics, you will try to use the physical knowledge of the analogy (or metaphor, metaphor or metaphor), if you are familiar with mathematics, astronomy, geography, literature, biology, then your imagination is too rich, That's probably why it's easier to learn new things the more you know about them.

3. Six steps of holistic learning method

Gain, understand, expand, correct, apply, and test.

It is necessary to note that these steps are not in strict order, and when you learn new knowledge, these things are staggered.

I feel that these processes are particularly similar to the waterfall model in software development (which I used as a metaphor), especially in the test, software engineering is divided into requirements testing, unit testing, functional testing and integration testing, where the test and the previous five processes are linked.

4. Information structure

1) arbitrary determine information

Arbitrary this word is difficult to translate, Crowncheng translation is "random information", it is a series of facts, dates, definitions or rules, they lack a logical classification. For example, people have 206 bones, these arbitrary numbers are some things need mechanical memory, there is not much truth to say.

This kind of information, if not repeated memory, is very easy to forget, you can use three ways to enhance the memory of these points of knowledge:

Coupling method linking

Hook Method pegging

Compression method Compression

2) View information opinion

The opinion information is the controversial information, the opinion information is very common in the thesis.

The biggest difficulty with the point of view information is the acquisition phase, where you need to examine a large amount of information to find patterns, rather than remembering specific details, and fast-reading techniques are important for gathering information.

The graph method is the most effective way to memorize this kind of information.

3) Procedure Information process:

Process information is information that teaches you how to act, and information about a series of actions and actions. For example, tell me how to swim, write a computer program, build a house, etc.

The most important thing to learn about this kind of information is to keep practicing and repeating the action. However, building the right background concept is also critical to saving time.

The biggest difficulty with process information is the need to actually devote a lot of time to practice. You can not understand the concept well, and do not have to finish all the material, but you have to practice the real. Understand the right background model and put it into practice.

Internalization of Visceralization

Metaphor method metaphor

Graphic Method diagraming

Model Debugging Error Correction

4) Tangible information concrete: information that can be observed, seen, heard, or touched in practice.

5) Abstract Information abstraction: Abstract information lacks direct contact with the senses. Mathematics, physics, psychology, computer and chemistry are mainly about abstract information. There is a lot of abstract information in quantum physics and calculus, and it is not easy to imagine images immediately.

Abstract information is the opposite of identifying information arbitrary, abstract information is very difficult to understand, but logic is very strong, and the information is very simple, but the logic is poor.

When learning abstract information, the advantages of holistic learning are obvious. By turning information into a more understandable form of images, you can create a wide range of connections between knowledge points. Internalization and metaphor are the two main approaches.

In fact, however, most of the information is between abstract and concrete.

Coping with a boring course: don't complain when you run into a "boring" course. The problem may be that the teacher teaches you that you are not connected to your experience, and that using holistic learning methods, you can connect content to something you are interested in.

5. The goal of learning

Is it to pass the exam, or is it for further application? Different goals determine different learning processes and learning effects, and great learning goals produce great learning effects.

To be concerned about learning useful knowledge, investment in learning will bring great benefits to your life, provided that you can really apply the knowledge that takes time to learn without actually applying the purpose is just a waste of time. Learning without a practical purpose is a waste of your time.
