What are the problems ?

Why is learning important?

I am often asked by my colleagues around me, “What is the use of learning? or “What is the significance of learning? Faced with these questions, I always rely on feelings to answer, I always want to write an article, and systematically sort out the meaning of learning. Thinking, use this article to make a small summary. The content of this article comes from the reading of some learning methods and self-media learning experience. At the same time, it summarizes some reflections on your own learning and growth experience.

After learning the ideas of zilo teacher, before discussing a problem, we must first define the concepts in the problem, and then go deep into the connection between concepts and the use scenarios and boundaries of the concepts.

Learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through reading, listening, thinking, researching, and practicing. Learning is divided into two types: narrow and broad:

Narrow sense: The process of acquiring knowledge or skills through reading, listening, researching, observing, understanding, exploring, experimenting, and practicing is a way for individuals to achieve continuous change (knowledge and skills, methods and processes, and improvement in emotions and values). And sublimation) behavior.

Broad: A relatively long-lasting behavioral behavior of a person's behavior or behavioral potential through the acquisition of experience.

In essence, learning is a way of behavior in order to grow. After clearing the nature of learning, let's look at the main scenarios of learning: campus, work, and life. In a specific scenario, we can more easily discover the meaning of learning. The description of the scene will be explained using a set of structures: age, role, what to learn, why to learn, what problems will be encountered, and how to solve them. You can also think deeply, add scenes, add questions or supplement solutions.

What to learn: In accordance with the existing disciplinary settings, learn the number of English, political history, materialized students and other courses, take the exams, college entrance examinations, postgraduate exams, exams and other exams.

Why study: Most people don't know what the purpose of learning is. In the end, there is almost no teacher who cares about what they are saying and what is really helpful for their future work and life. The teacher and the parents reached a tacit agreement and weaved a good lie. After the college entrance examination, it would be fine. It is good to go to college. It seems that completing the college entrance examination is the end of learning. I still remember the incident of burning books after the college entrance examination in previous years. How long does it take for the students who burn books to realize the value of knowledge and the value of learning? Of course, many people on this battlefield were eliminated early. Fortunately, China is a country full of opportunities. The popularity of the live broadcast market has allowed some friends to find another path to achieve wealth freedom.

Compared with those friends who don’t know why they are studying, some of them are very fortunate. They are very talented and have found a suitable learning method very early, or their parents have taught their own learning experience, or they have liked to learn by chance. A good girl suddenly ignited the small universe and found the meaning of learning (a case appeared in my junior high school classmates), or I knew that I needed to learn to change my destiny and continue to make progress.

In short, these friends have a chance to find the meaning of learning, know why to learn, or do not know why they learn but know that learning is a must. Looking back on campus life, we will look at campus learning from a higher-dimensional perspective. In fact, we will find that in the school learning stage, we are actually learning the underlying skills of the future, reading, speaking, writing, logical thinking, and clear concepts. For stress, dealing with relationships, etc. This stage is to establish a cognition of the world, and it is the stage of laying the foundation. The training of these abilities is the goal that education should have, not the examination orientation in education now. In the face of a marathon in life, the starting line is not as important as it is supposed to be. Running a marathon with a sprint of 100 meters is likely to be weak. We will have many students who have been studying well in high school before, and they are thoroughly indulged in college. Let's take an example.

What are the problems:

1. The education system is outdated and does not meet the needs of today's society. Back in the history of human education, the K12 education system in the world today was first invented by the Prussians in the 18th century. They collected taxes, set up schools, designed educational content by age, and then implemented standardized education. At that time, this was undoubtedly a revolutionary spirit, and many people who could not go to school realized their dream of studying. In the first half of the 19th century, the United States basically copied the Prussian education system. By 1870, 37 states in the United States had established public schools, and the United States became the country with the highest national cultural level in the world.

In 1892, the 10-member committee led by the then president of Harvard University determined the standardization of K12 education. Citizens aged 6-18 should complete 8th grade education and 4 years of secondary Education consultants in Lahore. They decided to include English, mathematics, and reading. Learning content all the year round, while physics and chemistry are added at the secondary education stage. Since then, the education systems of countries around the world have been basically implemented in accordance with this model, and the content is similar. In order to meet the needs of industrialization, this system breaks up the disciplines, and in order to train students into the screws in the future factory, it advocates cramming education and stifles creativity. Today, we are in the era of great change. The emergence of artificial intelligence will greatly replace the current mechanical labor and part of mental labor. The field where human beings have more advantages over artificial intelligence is creativity and pattern recognition. Today the job market is also calling for creative elites, not nerds.

2. Focus on the discipline, not on the people. The current curriculum division, the design of the knowledge points before and after the design seems scientific, orderly, but there is a large number of knowledge gaps. In the eyes of students, all the knowledge of learning is intermittent, and the knowledge of school learning has no or few practical application scenarios. Looking back after work, in fact, some of the skills that are learned in school are actually the underlying skills to settle down, such as writing, to help us articulate our views, and to be one of the main ways of communication in work; mathematics, to cultivate our logical thinking ability, among which The probability and statistics are of great significance in work and financial management; history, let us take history as a mirror, real history is not a boring number in textbooks, a choice of personal things in a complex environment, etc., in fact, we will see later. These disciplines can be very meaningful. If you transfer knowledge from a perfect perspective, and focus on the growth of students, it is likely to help more students find the meaning of learning.

3, the test mode feedback is lagging, easily lead to leaving the team. The school examines whether the mastery of the knowledge points is verified by the test. The teacher will tell you that the test tests your level of memory and understanding of the knowledge points to a certain extent. But in fact, there are a lot of questions in the exam: it doesn't reflect your potential in this homework. It doesn't necessarily understand the depth of understanding. The exam can't reflect the long-term maintenance of your learning effect. It is probably a short-term memory. It is also impossible to tell you whether the thinking process is correct or not. The result of the test is 80 points. It may mean that the students have no understanding of a certain knowledge point, but it is OK from the score. The problem is ignored. Until the problem is too much, it is impossible to keep up with most of the students and be forced to make up or give up. . And the exam is difficult to achieve the purpose of testing the student's potential.

4, heavy homework reduces interest in learning, boring exams are disgusting. The existing "quality education" in China allows students to do a lot of homework every day. Teachers of various subjects compete for the time after the students go home, and many of the contents of the meeting need to be repeated. You know that the first grade primary school students How many times does the 5+6 question count? Math books, workbooks, application questions, exams, and various repetitions make students extremely disgusted with such repeated physical labor. And those problems that are not, or do not understand, can't be expressed through such heavy work. The pressure of the test makes people feel disgusted. Under great pressure, students will hate learning more and more.

How to solve these problems: skilled education + deliberate practice + holistic learning

1, sophisticated learning method. The so-called sophisticated learning method is to fully understand the concept of previous learning before students enter the more difficult learning stage. This principle is simple and straightforward, but in fact the current education system does not support it. In the current standardized learning system based on class, it is impossible for all children to be equally smart and focused, so the instructor can only take care of the level of most children. Those so-called "poor students" were abandoned. They did not grasp the previous concept, and they were ruthlessly dragged to the next link, so that they could not understand, and simply broke the cans and became a real poor student.

2, deliberate practice. "Deliberate Practice" breaks the theory of talent and tells us that all skills can be learned and become masters through deliberate practice, including the talents that we have known in the past: unforgettable, one-eyed ten lines, perfect pitch, basketball talent, etc. I often hear irresponsible comments during the student days. XXX is really stupid. It’s not a simple question. XXX is really smart. When you learn, you will be stupid in a learning environment full of such psychological implications. Students may think that they are really stupid, suggesting to themselves how they can learn, but being taught that smart students may really think that they are geniuses, complacent, not good at learning, and solving problems by short-term assault. The monthly or final exam is OK, but the entrance exam and the college entrance exam will be defeated (there are cases like this in junior high school and high school, you can try to recall).

"Deliberate Practice" is a set of practice methods from the ordinary to the excellent after the author has observed the experts in various fields for 30 years. The authors conclude that the so-called geniuses are the result of deliberate practice. There is no such thing as a super genius. Everyone is born with a small difference. More geniuses are the result of early training by parents, such as Mozart, Lang Lang. Ding Junhui. Long-term insistence on deliberate practice, everyone has the opportunity to become a master. When we are learning a skill or knowledge that already has a well-trained training system, when we can find excellent coaches and provide us with real-time feedback and optimization suggestions, when we always keep ourselves in the learning circle, we don’t indulge in the comfort circle. When we can create new psychological representations, we will show a "talent" beyond others. The training method of this book will be shared separately in the follow-up.

I especially like the advertisement of keep. A few of the advertisements are shared with everyone. "I evolved into another one." "There is nothing different, but we insist on it every day." "Self-discipline gives me freedom." In the Chaos Institute, the CEO of Sports Fitness Keep said: "After the 1980s, entrepreneurship is about dreams, and after 90s, entrepreneurship is about faith." Only related to growth speed and depth of thinking.

3. Holistic learning. A set of learning methods is introduced in How to Learn Effectively: Models, Structures, and Highways. By establishing links between disciplines, learning is made more efficient, and various types of information in learning are handled through analogy, internalization, metaphor, and the like: random information, conceptual information, process information, abstract information, and specific information. We can imagine our existing knowledge system as a city. When we acquire new knowledge, it is actually equivalent to discovering a satellite city. If we can make our city have multiple transportations to keep in touch with the satellite city, then it will soon It will be integrated into the existing urban system, but if there is only one small intestine, the satellite city may be separated from the city over time, which is equivalent to the separation of the newly acquired knowledge from the existing knowledge system. Therefore, through holistic learning, the knowledge of each subject can be connected to each other. The training method of this book will be shared separately in the follow-up.
Scene 2: Working hours
Age: 30-60 years old

Role: Employee or manager

What to learn: vocational skills, communication skills, management skills, etc.

Why learn: Let's start with a strange phenomenon. This phenomenon often appears in the parents. You can recall whether you often hear the parents waiting for the country to raise wages. It seems that the country has increased the currency, the price has increased, and its working years have increased. It is a matter of course to raise wages. But do we need to think about the relationship between the company and the individual, the company is to assess a person's actual value to the company and then pay for it, and for the long-term stable service of the employee may have a certain increase, but if the employee skills are not improved, rise Wages are actually extravagant. If you don't have any growth in your work, your ability to solve problems has not improved. When the company is under business pressure, pay cuts are a good thing. A raise is a luxury.

Some time ago, a word was particularly hot: "You don't have 10 years of work experience, just use 1 year of experience for 10 years." In the workplace, our core appeal is to enhance the value brought by the improvement of individual ability, and to demand the high return due to our own appreciation. The manifestation of personal ability improvement is problem-solving ability, clearly defining problems -> analyzing problems -> solving problems -> predicting problems in advance, the company actually pays for problem-solving ability, and the more cruel logic is because the company feels that you are buying Time is earned, the salary given to you is an estimate of your eight hours a day, valuations are around value fluctuations, and only value increases are the basis for a raise. Therefore, in order to increase income and improve life, the significance of adults learning at work is self-evident.

What are the problems ?

1. Being influenced by my parents, I feel that I don't have to learn at work. There is a simple and rude syllogism life, learning before the age of 30, 30 to 60 work to accumulate wealth, 60 years old to support the old and consume the wealth accumulated in the first 30 years. This model masks the importance of learning in the workplace. The rise of knowledge services has led us to see many elites who have mastered effective learning skills. They have accumulated a few years of industry experience, such as  Ma Song’s understanding of marketing. The old driver of the year is still profound, but he is after the 1990s, so don't expect to be promoted and raised without learning. The era of barbaric growth is over. There are not so many iron rice bowls in today's society, and the era of intensive cultivation has arrived. Luo Ji’s thinking program mentions a concept “40 years of black hole”. The author predicts that our generation will be extended to one hundred years due to advances in science and technology and improved medical environment. This is equivalent to 40 years after retirement. In the year, how can you live with dignity and become a problem that needs to be directly considered. If you maintain today's inflation rate, how strong financial management capacity do you need to maintain your own survival without income? I especially like  who is full of curiosity and energy. I hope that I can be like Mr. zilow at the age of sixty.

2, no patience, eager for short-term profit. After work, I found that people are very easy to be impetuous. Today, I heard that I bought a house and heard a certain business tomorrow. Today, a certain stock is making a big profit. Tomorrow’s bitcoin is rich, and a message that stimulates the nerves makes us very anxious. It seems that the opportunity is fleeting. Many people give up the initiative to think, hope to buy lottery riches, hope to achieve wealth freedom through stocks or investment, stare at the k-line chart every day, and pour their attention on the future of the map, pay attention to Force is a scarce resource, because if you want to make quick money, it is easy to have no patience to participate in a vocational skills training, systematically learn the expertise of the industry. Patience is like compound interest in investment, and the investment risk that can often be profitable in the short term is far beyond imagination.
