Carelessness sounds harmless, but we must realize that if we don't correct the child's careless habit when he is young, he may lose his admission to the target school at the middle and end of the semester when he gets used to it. By then, carelessness will no longer be a small problem.
Many parents and teachers feel that their children have subjective problems and are not careful in exams. In fact, who doesn't take the exam seriously? Everyone is nervous and careful. It's normal to be careless several times, but if you are often careless and lose high marks, there will be problems. The point is, what's the problem? Many parents will ask such questions, which is really worth thinking about.
Carelessness is a common problem of children. If parents do not have a correct and comprehensive understanding of their children's carelessness, it will have a very adverse impact on their children.
In fact, children make careless mistakes, which have both superficial and deep reasons. Here, let's first find out what the superficial and deep reasons are, so as to think about how to reduce the occurrence of similar mistakes.
The superficial reasons for carelessness are:
1. When you encounter a seemingly simple topic: the more you look at the topic, the simpler it is, and the more you want to score. Therefore, students often choose an answer without careful thinking or calculation during the exam. As a result, they chose the wrong answer.
2. I met a topic I had read or guessed before the exam: when I met a topic I had read before, or I happened to guess a topic before the exam, I was naturally very happy when I met such a situation during the exam, and I thought I could attack this topic immediately. But the more excited you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
3. Read the wrong question or get the wrong meaning: if you only read half of the question or don't read all the options, you will answer in a hurry, and even if you don't see the question clearly, you will get a careless answer.
4. Lack of time or nervousness: Every child may be more cautious when starting to do papers. In the second half of the exam, there is not much time left, and I will become more and more nervous. Under the double pressure of tight time and anxiety, it is easy to make careless mistakes.
5. Complex calculation questions: During the exam, the calculation questions may be long or complicated. Add addition, subtraction, multiplication and division or the arrangement of formulas, and you will get the wrong answer if you are not careful.
The underlying causes of making "careless" mistakes;
In addition to the carelessness caused by some superficial reasons mentioned above, perhaps parents and friends don't understand the fact that every child is the same, and they can easily blame themselves for success or failure. For example, doing well in the exam is due to their efforts during this time; If you don't do well in the exam, you can blame it on your carelessness.
Why blame it on "carelessness"? Because everyone thinks that carelessness is an accidental phenomenon and can't be controlled. It is precisely because everyone has such a mentality that "carelessness" has become the main excuse for poor grades.
In fact, as long as every parent has a good look at their children's papers, you will find that every time a child makes a mistake, it is a similar topic and problem. Why is this? Is it really always because of carelessness? Actually, it is not. Have parents and friends thought deeply about this problem?
Imagine, how do our children review before exams now? Do you insist on reading and reciting? The result of this rote learning is to cram a lot of homework into your mind. A lot of homework is like a mess of data, and a mess of data is like a pile of garbage. When you cram homework into your head, is it like cramming a bunch of messy things into your head? Then, don't you have to look for answers in the garbage during the exam? Is it easy to find the answer in the garbage?
Of course, the answer is no, not to mention the pressure of time limit during the exam. It is easy for children to be nervous when they finish a large test paper within the specified time. At this time, if you don't have a thorough grasp of your homework, and you have to find the answer in the chaotic garbage dump within a limited time, it is really not easy. Many children will have no time to do many problems in the future. In such a "nervous" situation, it is no wonder that there will be "carelessness".
This may be deeply felt by many friends who just got their driver's license, because they have no driving experience and are not familiar with cars. At this point, you are driving in an alley. Given enough time, I believe you will drive slowly and safely. But if someone in the back keeps honking, if you are in a hurry, you may accidentally scratch someone else's car.
Therefore, carelessness is only an excuse in the end. The main reason is that the child has not fully mastered the homework and has not digested and absorbed it 100%. In addition, many parents think that sea tactics can reduce children's carelessness. In fact, this is also wrong, because every question of sea tactics is one-sided knowledge, and there is no connection between the questions. If the homework is not organized into systematic knowledge, then the topic will not be done once it changes. After understanding the causes of carelessness, let's see how to improve this situation.
Basic countermeasures to prevent children from being careless;
The key is whether the learning method is correct and effective.
If you want to change your child's bad habit of being careless in exams from the source, the key is to find really effective learning methods. Active learning can help children to use their own brains as markers and absorb the unknown with what is known. When they first store their homework in their brains, they will sort it out first. When homework is no longer rubbish, it will become organized, systematic and organized. In this way, during the exam, they can recall their homework smoothly as long as they find the answer according to their own sorting system.
With good learning methods, children usually organize their daily lessons into their own knowledge. When knowledge completely becomes their own thing, they can find the answer quickly when they see the questions in the exam, so they don't have to be afraid of the questions in the exam, and they don't have to worry that they can't finish the questions in a limited time, so there will be no careless mistakes.
For example, driving in an alley, if the driver has several years of driving experience and fully understands the characteristics of roads and vehicles, he can drive safely and properly even if someone is honking the horn behind him.
The superficial causes and countermeasures of children s carelessness;
1, don't be careless because the topic is simple: you can't take it lightly when you encounter a seemingly simple topic. Because the topic is simple, everyone has a chance to score. If you lose points again, the score gap will widen. At this time, it is best to answer seriously with the speed and mentality of solving general problems.
2. It is a new solution to see similar questions: be especially careful when you see the questions you read or guessed before the exam. The topic seems to be the same, but it is very likely that there is a trap in the office, and perhaps the numbers, symbols, order and relative relationship have all been adjusted. If you can't learn by rote, it's easy to jump into the trap of the questioner in the exam.
3. Read all the questions and options before you answer: No matter whether the question is long or short, no matter how difficult it is, you must read the description of the question and all the options before you can answer. Learn to understand the key words in the topic and underline them when solving problems. For the object to be asked, mark it with a double line to remind yourself to pay more attention.
4. Carefully plan the answer time before the exam: When taking the exam, plan the answer time as much as possible, so as not to have enough time to solve the problem later due to improper time allocation. This can reduce careless mistakes caused by tension and anxiety. It's a pity to be nervous about some easy-to-do topics because of lack of time.
5. Numbers and formulas should be written clearly: both simple and complex calculation problems should be arranged clearly, and all kinds of symbols and numbers should be written clearly. In addition, be sure to find enough blank space on the draft paper to make a budget. Careless miscalculation is often due to misreading the numbers or symbols written by yourself, or because the answer space is too small, all of them are crowded into a pile, and even the answer cannot be found. Clear fonts and clear formulas are the best ways to avoid mistakes.
Parents' Countermeasures for Carelessness of Children
Of course, parents should also pay attention to some problems that children should pay attention to, because many children's carelessness is caused by some bad living habits.
Method one. Treat children's carelessness with a correct attitude;
If the child is so careless that there is no correct and effective learning method, then parents will make a decision for their children's education. Secondly, the problem of carelessness is not only found in children, but also in many parents, and it is just ignored. The reason why children's carelessness is so valued is that parents and teachers pay too much attention to their children, and these problems are often reflected in their studies, so the problem of children's carelessness is particularly prominent, and parents should correct their mentality.
Method 2: Don't criticize children for carelessness;
Don't often criticize children for being careless in their studies or exams. If parents often criticize their children for being careless in their studies or exams, it is easy to cause psychological stress to their children. Children will focus on psychological requirements such as "I don't want to be sloppy" when studying or taking exams, which will easily lead to distraction and more unnecessary mistakes.
Method three, through praise, strengthen care:
You can strengthen your child's carefulness by praising him for doing something seriously. In order to avoid the reinforcement of the child's carelessness, parents should not criticize the child when he is careless, but praise the child in time and strengthen his carefulness after the child completes something seriously, so that the child will gradually accept this psychological hint and become more and more cautious.
Method 4: Help children develop good habits:
Help children develop the good habit of checking homework in their usual study. Many parents are willing to check their children's homework in order to reduce their mistakes, thinking that they are responsible for their children, but they don't know that their children will develop the habit of not checking carefully. To get rid of children's carelessness, we must first get them into the habit of checking their homework.
Method five, parents should set an example:
In daily life, parents should use their care to infect their children, such as keeping the house in order, suggesting that children learn to tidy up their own things, tidy up their own rooms, and cultivate their sense of responsibility for their own affairs.
Write it at the end
In short, the child's carelessness is not unforgivable. Instead of blindly blaming and exerting psychological pressure on children, it is better to strengthen the training of children in peacetime, so that they can learn correct and effective learning methods and cultivate their good life and study habits. At the same time, we should also let children pay more attention to their studies and exams to avoid careless recidivism.
