What is real intellectual activity? Let's explore
Recently, I watched a demonstration of extraordinary memory, flashcards, literacy cards and abacus mental arithmetic with three friends who are engaged in education.
They're all fighting? Intellectual development? But after watching the performance, I suddenly realized? In fact, these activities are not developing children's intelligence. Those unforgettable memories, card picking, literacy and mental arithmetic are not real intellectual activities. They are just using some characteristics of childhood to perform grandstanding performances. In addition to making parents earn vanity, there is no long-term benefit, but it will damage the normal development of children.
Card memory has nothing to do with IQ.
A teacher present pointed out:? Flash cards are not educational tools, but commodities! Not only can it not develop children's intelligence, but it will hurt them. ?
My son knows the 100 national flag when he is about 3 years old. This was his obsession at that time, and we didn't take it seriously. Many children have this? Skill? But it can't last long, and it will be forgotten when you grow up. It's just that some parents mistakenly think that children's memory is far better than that of adults, which is a proof of superior intelligence.
However, memory is far from being an important factor to measure a person's intelligence. Camera-like memory is of little significance to one's intelligence. In the era of underdeveloped information in the past, it was necessary to store knowledge by memory, so people valued memory. But in today's information is so developed, we no longer need to regard the brain as a memory card or a memory stick.
Children learn through sports.
Practitioners of flash memory cards and literacy cards say that children's learning is carried out through vision, which is probably a big misunderstanding. Scientific research has long proved that children's main way of learning is through sports. In the first few years of life, thinking and exercise are integrated, that is, when children are active, the brain begins to work. At rest, the brain does not move. In fact, not only children, but also adults, the best way to learn is not to sit there and read and listen, but to do it.
The first thing a child develops is not vision, but touch, which is the feeling of the body. One of the most important tasks for children before going to school is to master their own bodies. Mastering the body can develop intelligence, which has long been proved by modern brain science. Most children with learning disabilities have problems with physical sensation and balance. In order to solve their study problems, they should first do a series of physical exercises to develop their sense of sports and balance. Through exercise, the body transmits all-round sensory feelings to the brain, and children gradually form thinking in images.
Preschool children's thinking in images is developing and not yet mature. It is not until school age that they have real image/imagery thinking, while abstract thinking germinates later, until 12~ 14 years old. Therefore, to make preschool children think abstractly is to overdraw their lives.
As for abacus mental arithmetic, the child took a shortcut, as if he had extraordinary computing ability. In fact, the real mathematical ability is gained through personal experience. Simple? Count? Children don't understand mathematical relations and logic and can't solve practical problems.
Some parents also give their children early literacy training, claiming that 5-year-old children can finish reading a book with 654.38+ 10,000 words in one day. I wonder which 654.38 million-word book is suitable for 5-year-old children? If it's an adult's book, the child can't understand the reading content, just stuffing a bunch of garbled words into his head. Even if he knows something in ignorance, what good is it for children to enter the adult world in advance?
Education is a long-term project, because children's development is a slow and gradual process, and there is no shortcut. Do children perform through some intensive training? Extraordinary? It's just a show-off for parents, and it's harmful to the healthy development of children. Looking at the children on display that day, we all felt heavy. Again, children are not our works, but a gift from God. We should cherish children and be kind to them.
Flash cards can easily cause children to squint.
More and more new mothers begin to pay attention to their children's early education. Recently, a card with characters, numbers and other patterns has been used to train children. Early flash card teaching method? Widely welcomed by new mothers. Mothers want their children to study early and develop their right brain. However, experts say that the early teaching method of flash memory card only helps children to memorize mechanically, and it can not effectively develop children's intelligence, and it is easy to cause children to squint.
Xin Wang, a new mother, told reporters that her baby is just half a year old and has started to receive flash memory card early education. Every night before the baby goes to bed, she will take a card with black spots printed on it and put it 20-30 cm away from the baby's eyes, flashing quickly and explaining loudly while flashing herself. Each card should flash 10- 15 times. ? The baby likes these cards very much and will laugh when he sees them. What if I don't have it every night? Flash? Children cry and can't sleep. ?
It is understood that this early education tool called flash memory card is very popular now. This card is suitable for children under 6 years old, with different card patterns in different age groups. Six months ago, children used black dot cards. Later, with the growth of age, children should use red digital dots, Chinese cards, English cards and encyclopedia cards in turn. Merchants claim that flash memory card early teaching can promote children's brain development and enhance intelligence. Enter it on Taobao? Early education flash card? If so, you can search out 1552 related commodities. The price of online sales ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. The reporter saw in some online forums and early education groups that many new mothers also recommended it? Early flash card teaching method? Some mothers have used flashcards since the birth of their children.
? Flash card? Can you really improve your intelligence? Zhang Haibo, a professor at Harbin Institute of Educational Sciences, said? Flash card? It is to attract children in the form of patterns, let them know some numbers and models, and mainly train their mechanical memory ability. The real intellectual activity of human beings lies in exploration, and unique creativity is more meaningful than simple recitation, and this is? Flash card? Can't do it. Professor Zhang reminded parents to have a good understanding of early education and not to ignore the importance of children's personal experience in cultivating cognition. In fact, children are already developing their intelligence by playing freely and taking care of their lives every day. ?
In addition, related ophthalmologists also pointed out that the vision development in infancy is not perfect, which is suitable for children's hyperopia, and this method requires parents to put the card 20-30 cm away from the baby's eyes. In the long run, it is very easy to cause children to squint.
