Learning ability can be improved by 'practicing effective learning methods'

The argument that "learning ability depends on genetic factors" persists strongly and thinks that the outcome of learning is determined by natural intelligence as well as the nature of the eyes and the color of the skin are naturally determined There are people. Also, there are people who say that studying "randomly" without studying the learning plan such as "How to study?" However, Urlich Boser, who is studying the learning method, said that if he gains the effect that exceeds the genetic intelligence difference by learning by making a correct strategy, it is said.

Learning Is a Learned Behavior. Here's How to Get Better at It.

According to Mr. Boser, many studies have found that "ability to learn" can be obtained afterwards. According to studies published in 2008, there is a great deal of concern in what way to learn new things, in terms of how to learn new things, in terms of things, rather than whether native intelligence is high or low I know that.

In this study, it turned out that people with customs to deeply think about their thinking leave a high result in the learning of new fields, even compared with those with higher IQ than them. Researchers conclude that "to do learning in the right way" when learning something new fields is 15% more important than learning on inherent intelligence has on learning.

Setting your own goal First of all, it is important to "set your own goals" in order to learn effectively. When advancing learning about professional fields, Mr. Boser says that it is important to first set a goal as to what it can be said that "learning has been completed". By going through the procedure of "think about what kind of strategy should be taken towards it after setting a goal first", it seems that it is avoidable that studying randomly without a goal.

In addition, by clarifying the goal of learning from the beginning, you can deal with negative emotions that spring up in our hearts during long learning. The negative feeling here means "Do you really learn enough?" "Is something wrong?" "What if we did all the learning so far?" "What are you going to do now?" Besides what I am doing, there are more important things to do? "

Albert Bandura , a professor of psychology at Stanford University, has published a study that " Setting a clear goal is effective to cope with negative emotions ". Negative feelings are powerful enough to take away the motivation for learning that we have, but by having clear targets in my mind, it is said that "what you are doing is not a mistake" We can keep intent.

◆ Objectively recognize thoughts and behaviors
Secondly, as an important element for improving learning ability, there are things that "think carefully about what you are thinking"? This ability, also known as meta-cognition , can objectively grasp and understand my thoughts and behaviors, so that you can clarify the point "to what extent you are advanced relative to the target" by objectively grasping and recognizing your thoughts and behaviors.

"Do I really understand this concept?" "Can I explain to my friends what I am learning?" "What is my goal?" "Should I further deepen the background knowledge?" ? "To yourself and understand how much you achieve your degree of learning.

When thinking about a problem, many experts are meta-cognitive thinking which repeatedly asks themselves about the problem framework. Experts who have repeated meta-cognitive thinking for many years, can often intuitively grasp whether their conclusions are correct or not. When learning about a special field, Mr. Boser says that it is always important to keep asking myself "How much do you understand yourself?"

◆ Insert a reasonable break between learning <br> Finally, we need to understand that "it is important to stop learning in order to deepen your learning." Although it sounds like a contradiction, when we learn things, it is possible to understand things to the deepest point by temporarily stopping learning, and at the moment of doing something else It is said that. For example, after exchanging enthusiastic discussions about a problem with a colleague, there is a chance that when you are back home and doing the dishes, the idea that that problem can be solved is suddenly come down.

In this way, learning seems to be brought unintentionally by myself when leaving a little time after studying hard. This type of deep understanding is brought about when the brain is relaxed and in a calm state, so even if you keep learning at all times you can not reach a deep understanding. Because moderate naps and sleep bring out this kind of understanding by organizing knowledge in the brain, moderate relaxation and sleep are indispensable for learning.

By learning with the above points in mind, it is possible to learn effectively more than the consequences of congenital intelligence. "Easy to learn compared to people around me does not mean that it is inherently smarter than the surrounding people, it just means that you know how to effectively learn or not That's all, "Boser said.
