American educator Bloom put forward the famous goal analysis method, which consists of six levels, from simple to complex: memory, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation and creation. This represents six achievements of learning. The higher the level, the more thorough the understanding of knowledge.

Later, Florence put forward the concept of learning level. In a study, they classified different learning methods as follows: reading the same text and finding answers only to the questions raised in the text belong to shallow learning; Although I will pay attention to the questions raised, I will first summarize the title of the article, which belongs to deep learning.

However, due to the different learning methods adopted, the learning results are often qualitatively different.

The difference between shallow learning and deep learning

Shallow learning:

Shallow learning mainly uses mechanical memory to memorize knowledge, which reaches the third level at most in the target analysis method, that is, "I know where and how to use this knowledge point, but in fact I still don't understand what it means."

This kind of study is very not in-depth. Children who stay in this learning method often recite a lot of knowledge points, but their grades are always not up, because they don't know how to draw inferences from others and don't fully understand the thorough knowledge. With a slight change in knowledge, they will be ineffective. In their view, this seems to be another new type of question.

Children with shallow learning often study for high scores, and the learning results are very unstable. As described in "Excellent Sheep", they look beautiful and elegant, but they are actually weak and ignorant.

Deep learning:

Generally speaking, children who can use "deep learning" will not have too bad academic performance, because they can often spend less time on others and fully understand knowledge.

Different from superficial learning, children who study for external needs are often very interested in the knowledge points themselves. They often have strong thinking ability, can thoroughly understand knowledge points, can look up information by themselves when encountering problems, and are used to understanding things in multiple dimensions with critical thinking. Using this method flexibly, the connection between knowledge points will be closer.

In the process of learning, children with deep learning are different from children with shallow learning, and the knowledge points are scattered and isolated, which is difficult to extract when using. They have built their own knowledge network, so when learning new knowledge, they also review old knowledge.

Asking children high-level questions can help them learn deeply.

1, take every problem of children seriously.

In the book "50 Educational Methods, I Send Three Sons to Stanford", the author says that he is very concerned about children's problems. When the children ask such questions as "Why is the sky blue", even though she is cooking in the kitchen, she will turn off the fire in time and answer the children's questions seriously.

In life, children take the initiative to ask questions, indicating that they want to take the initiative to seek knowledge. Parents must not perfunctory, which will only obliterate children's curiosity. Exploring the answers to questions with children is the best way.

2, master the skills of asking questions

Always ask children some open-ended questions that can make them think. This kind of question can never be answered simply by "yes" or "no", and there is no unique answer.

High-level questions generally need to be answered by what children have learned, which is equivalent to the level of "evaluation" in goal analysis. Only by thoroughly understanding and analyzing the knowledge points and then organizing the language through strict thinking logic can children answer questions. So this kind of question is very beneficial to children's thinking exercise.

At the same time, paying attention to combining what children already know with what they don't know can help children understand a new knowledge point quickly.

Secondly, give children enough time to think and listen carefully to their answers. In this atmosphere, children will feel respected, so they are more confident in their answers and more willing to express their unique views.
