Do you also think that at work, we always feel that we are more efficient than others? At parties, we always feel more attractive than ordinary people in the room. In fact, most of us are affected by overconfidence. We think we know more than we really do-almost everyone thinks they are smarter, more beautiful and more skilled than the average person. Everyone has this kind of overconfidence, and the learning process is no exception.
conceited
But overconfidence in study is unfavorable. Overconfidence will hinder effective learning, make people give up their efforts to find the "internal connection of knowledge", stop thinking and introspection, and stop trying to turn learning into their own habits, not to mention the application of knowledge and skills in different scenarios. Therefore, in the final stage of learning, we should review and reflect on the knowledge we have mastered.
mild
If you are too comfortable and used to this idea, people may think that they have a deep understanding of it. Things that look simple and ordinary are easy to make people feel more eager to learn. But this is not necessarily the case. If things seem easy, they will learn relatively little and people will reduce their efforts.
The End of castel is a classic war that failed because of overconfidence.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/876, Lieutenant Colonel Kaster seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Indian army, and neither made a temporary emergency plan nor issued detailed operational orders. In the end, Kaster and 200 soldiers were wiped out in the battle with 1000 Indians.
think deeply
You may also have this experience: you read a passage, but you didn't understand its meaning; Seeing someone explaining some skills, but not really learning these skills; I bought a lot of online low-priced promotional products, and I didn't really think about whether it would be useful, so I was finally shelved.
We over-believe that we have thought it through, but we haven't really thought it through.
People usually respond to the boss with "no problem" and say what the leader likes to hear. In fact, we all tend to be overconfident. Even if people know nothing, they tend to think that they know a lot. In learning, we need to review what we have learned. In order to prevent prejudice, overcome overconfidence and finally master a major, we need to re-examine our own thinking process and the thinking process of people around us.
Self-examination/introspection
In the process of learning a professional skill, we need to ask ourselves what is confusion? What didn't explain clearly? How do I know what knowledge I have? This requires us to take time to examine ourselves, evaluate ourselves and achieve self-improvement. This is not a traditional learning activity. I didn't take any courses, lectures or exams, and I didn't have audio-visual materials or textbooks. I just took the time to review my performance. Such efforts are enough to help self-improvement
feedback
It is difficult for us to find our own mistakes or shortcomings. Therefore, external inspection is needed to provide specific feedback. For example: the teacher's help to your study, the exchange and discussion between peers. Even people with high professional level will gain something if they know what they are doing is right or wrong.
forgetting curve
Use Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to track and record what you have learned. Reviewing every once in a while can greatly improve your attention and keep what you have learned and content firmly in your mind. For example, in the face of a speech, is it better to practice a complete speech for five minutes every day for four consecutive days, or is it better to divide the speech into four parts and practice only one part every day?
Similarly, if you want to get good grades in a key exam, you should start your study activities as soon as possible, so that you can distribute your study activities over a long period of time as soon as possible. Maximize the degree of memory by interval review.
Deep thinking is the key to the learning process. To understand knowledge and skills, we need to think about the memory of knowledge. Thinking about action is more important than thinking about action itself.
Thinking method
As a medium, recording will slow down our thinking process, thus prompting us to think deeply. For example, "keeping a diary" is an effective way to improve learning activities. Although it is a daily content written by hand, it is enough to make a learning activity more diverse.
Slow thinking
Slow thinking is an effective way to learn deeply. In order to understand the thinking process, we need to put it aside first. When we put the problem aside for a while, we may have a deeper understanding of it. For example, we read a book and found it difficult to understand. Usually after you close the book and think slowly, you will have a deeper understanding of this book. Sleep is also an interesting example. Sleep is actually a process in which the brain understands thinking. Sometimes the rest of the brain is to organize knowledge, which means that sleep is also a fruitful rest.
People can make better decisions and learn more by thinking deeply, paying attention to their emotions and staying calm. Slow thinking helps us to learn the skills of emotional management and improve our academic performance. You don't need extra effort to think slowly. Before you concentrate on your study, you should give up those mental activities that cause tension. Meditation is a way to slow down our thinking, and solitude is also helpful for the interview-to stay away from social interference, to reflect more effectively, and to spend a long time thinking, writing or meditating without interference, that is, to work deeply.
Technology promotion
The strange thing about review and reflection is that it will make your learning activities a never-ending process. If we repeatedly evaluate what we have learned, then we will keep thinking and never stop. This concept is the core of learning activities-professional knowledge itself is constantly developing, and any skill is not static.
Science and technology can push us to rethink: mind map can help us think and discover the internal relationship of knowledge, computer can help us practice and use what we have learned, and some software can review at intervals, which can slow down our forgetting speed. But one thing remains the same. Learning methods need to be mastered through learning. No matter what kind of equipment is used, people's understanding of things still depends on their unremitting pursuit of meaning.
Learning knowledge requires us to actively understand things, constantly improve self-motivation, and constantly review and reflect on knowledge and skills.
If a person doesn't spend a few hours learning new things every week, he will soon fall behind. You need to rearm yourself. This process is endless.
