Thinking is the core of intelligence.
Every parent hopes that their children can be born in phoenix and achieve something in their careers. So, how can we realize this beautiful wish? Many parents think that children will be smart when they grow up by teaching them to read, calculate, recite ancient poems and learn foreign languages. However, such education is not only detrimental to intellectual development, but also hinders children's intellectual development. Educators believe that we should pay attention to the cultivation of children's various intelligences, especially the cultivation and training of thinking ability, so that children can become talents.
Thinking is the essential attribute and immanence of things.
The reflection of regularity in people's minds The human brain processes the materials provided by sensory perception, from here to there, from the outside to the inside, thus indirectly and generally reflecting the activity process of objective things. Children are childish and ridiculous, often because of underdeveloped thinking and poor thinking ability. They only see the surface of things and can't grasp the essence. For example, when a baby sees his own image in the big mirror, he thinks there is a child there and plays with him. This is because he only saw the superficial phenomenon and didn't understand the essence of the mirror. Some babies are considered smart, because when they are over 1 year old, they can correctly call men "uncles" and women "aunts", and they can also distinguish between "grandfathers" and "grandmothers" for the elderly. Such children just have a certain generalization and begin to learn to think. Some children can also indirectly infer the attributes of things that the senses can't directly perceive. When Wang Rong, an ancient child, was playing with children, he saw many long plums growing on the plum tree by the roadside, which bent the branches. Except Wang Rong, all the other children scrambled to pick it. When someone asked him why he didn't pick it, Wang Rong replied, "This tree is on the roadside, and there are many plums. It must be bitter plums. " Others picked Li Ziyi to eat, so it was very bitter. Wang Rong has never tasted plums. How does he know that plums are bitter? Because plum trees are on the roadside, pedestrians come and go on the road and see a lot of plums. If they are sweet, they must have been picked a long time ago. There are so many plums on the tree now, it's hard not to pick them. Such children have certain indirect reflection ability and can think about problems.
Thinking is the main function of the human brain.
Thinking power is the core of intellectual structure. From the perspective of the whole intellectual structure system, thinking ability is the main factor, while other factors (observation, attention, memory, imagination, etc. ) serve the mind and provide it with information and raw materials for processing. Without other factors as the conditions for the activity of thinking power, thinking power is certainly difficult to move; But if we don't consider the operation of this processing machine, information raw materials are useless waste. Because perception and observation can only make people acquire knowledge, and memory only helps people store knowledge, but uses knowledge to analyze and solve specific problems. This is thinking. Secondly, all other factors in the intellectual structure must be dominated by thinking power and must revolve around thinking power. The activities of other factors can only be carried out effectively with the participation of thinking power; Once you leave the thinking power, it is impossible to play its due role. This shows the importance of thinking ability in children's intellectual development.
Thinking ability is also of great significance in learning.
Scholars at all times and all over the world have affirmed that thinking plays a particularly important role in learning. Confucius once said such a dialectical famous saying: "Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous." This means that learning without thinking will confuse ignorance and lead to no result; If you think first and don't study, you will be confused and can't come to a conclusion. Research shows that thinking is a necessary condition for understanding knowledge. No matter what knowledge you learn, you must have a deep understanding; To understand knowledge, we must think independently. Take learning mathematics knowledge as an example, as young mathematicians Yang Le and Zhang Guanghou said, "We should pay attention to cultivating the spirit of independent thinking and hard study." Mathematics is a subject that focuses on understanding. In learning, we must avoid the tendency of rote memorization and think more. Think about a problem from the front, back and all angles, and be good at finding out the relationship between them and summing up the regular things. According to research, thinking is also an important condition for consolidating knowledge. Learning any knowledge must be firmly mastered; To master knowledge firmly, we need to think actively. As the saying goes, "If you want to remember, you must understand first". So you must think independently when you study.
Outstanding thinking ability is a remarkable feature of supernormal children.
A large number of examples of extraordinary children and their research show that outstanding thinking ability is a common and remarkable feature of extraordinary children. There is a child who can count below 200 at the age of 2; At the age of 3, you can count 1- 1 =? ; At the age of 4, he can perform mixed operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and can do mental arithmetic and quick calculation; At the age of 5, I can speak some principles of classification operation and understand the concepts of decimal, fraction, positive and negative numbers and 0. At the age of 7, he could solve the math game problem of abcdx9=dcba in ten minutes. Xiaojinjin, a 5-year-old college student, also has extraordinary analytical generalization ability and understanding. When he was 3 years old, he once picked up a crayon and scribbled on a new book:1-1= 0,2-2 = 0,10 = 0,11-6544. His father was shocked. Another time, talking about visiting relatives, I met an aunt of the opera house, who was also a guest there. They hit it off as soon as they sang and danced. When he left, Jin Jin said to his aunt, "I have known her for a long time, but it has been longer since we separated." All four seats were surprised. It is said that the children's toothpaste used with relish is a plastic tube, which was used up on the first day. The next day, Tianjin Tianjin saw the toothpaste tube bulging again, and squeezed it hard, empty and beaming. He casually said "Thedeadseaapple". When asked Xiao Jinjin, "What do you mean by apples in the Dead Sea?" He said plausibly, "It is said that there are many apple trees on the Dead Sea. The apples on the tree are big and red, and they are very cute. But when you take it off, it will turn gray and look big. " Undoubtedly, if it is not based on understanding, it cannot be applied so accurately. An experiment about Feng Ya's different thinking was done by the China Collaborative Group for the Tracking Research of Extraordinary Children. One of the questions was to write a word with the same pronunciation as "teacher". She wrote eight words: lion, teacher, history, scholar, envoy, right, reality and city. Generally, children of the same age can only write 2 ~ 3 words. Asked to write the homonym of "Yi", she also wrote seven words: Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi and Yi. Children of the same age can generally only write L ~ 2 words. When asked how to get from Shanghai to Hangzhou, she listed seven ways: train, plane, ship, car, animals, herself and bike. Generally, children of the same age can only answer by car or boat. This shows that it is very important to develop children's thinking ability.
Infant is the best time to cultivate and exercise thinking ability. Because of the rapid development of infants' thinking, the thinking framework has not yet been finalized, and they are eager for knowledge and quick to accept, strengthening thinking training in this period will get twice the result with half the effort. I missed this issue, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make up this lesson in the future. Therefore, parents should consciously and systematically train their children's thinking in infancy to lay a solid foundation for their future intellectual development, especially the development of thinking.
