"Read, relax, reason will come out. If you are in a hurry, the truth will never come out. " This is the reading experience of Zhu, an educator in the Southern Song Dynasty. A science high school in Chicago, USA, investigated two types of students who entered school with high scores but later got different grades. The results show that excellent students spend 40% of their time in a state of relaxation and concentration, while low-scoring students spend only 65,438+06% of their time in a state of relaxation and concentration. This survey supports Zhu's experience in scientific experiments.
Bryce, a learning psychologist, even said, "Among all the super learning skills, I think the key is to get yourself into the best learning state." Many students do well in their studies. In fact, they study very hard and are very tired. They rely on hard work and physical strength. Staying up late is common, and they have to cut off almost all after-school activities. Their learning state is far from the best.
In 2006, Rui 'an was the first in the college entrance examination for science. It is no exaggeration to say that she has really entered the best state. She was not obvious since she was a child, but her grades were good and balanced. And there is always so much time to "play" my favorite extracurricular activities, such as writing, calligraphy, playing erhu and computer. What's more strange is that she is interested in playing everything, and it seems that she can become a master in the students' playing circle, and it is inevitable that she will win prizes in any competition. Her mother told me: "From elementary school to high school, I never did my homework beyond 8 pm. I usually go to bed before 9 o'clock. " When she entered Switzerland with the qualification of the first place in Wenzhou senior high school entrance examination, she was not used to the schedule stipulated by the school, because she didn't think it necessary to study so late. The mother who works in Switzerland communicated with the school and asked to work during the day. The teacher believes in her learning level and can go home to sleep. Therefore, even in senior three, she still enjoys a variety of fun in her study, life and entertainment.
From the example of Xiang Yizhi, we can see that the best state of learning actually refers to concentration and relaxation during learning. People who have not been exposed to psychology often mistakenly think that this is contradictory and impossible. So many parents think they are lazy when they see their children relax. Anyone who has studied psychology knows that the state of concentration and relaxation is that the attention at that time has been highly concentrated and entered "intentional attention", and all distractions and emotional meditation have been abandoned ideologically, and the excitement and inhibition of the nervous system are synchronized and harmonious, making learners very happy. This should be the "peak experience" of humanistic psychologist Maslow.
The benefits of entering the best learning state are obvious: it can stimulate potential (a wonderful performance of diversification to one intelligence); Can coordinate attention (with the advantages of unintentional attention and intentional attention, clear goals, no longer need to work hard); Can speed up the reaction (this is one of the most respected); It can broaden her knowledge (the speed of reaction ensures that she has time to contact more things).
How can I enter such a wonderful learning state? First of all, learners must calm down and concentrate when studying. If it is difficult to enter the state for a while, you can help yourself in the following ways:
1, listen to what sounds are disturbing your heart at this time, and adjust them intentionally.
2. Move your body position or take a deep breath to concentrate.
3. Use positive words to drive away negative thoughts.
4. Recall the happy past.
5. Close your eyes and imagine the scene after the success of the learning goal or meditate on the beautiful scenery of nature, and relive and experience it repeatedly.
6. Listen to soothing music.
In addition, some psychologists suggest that it can be regulated by transcendental meditation. The specific methods are to sit or kneel comfortably, close your eyes, relax your muscles, recite "I feel relaxed", "I can concentrate", "Go to hell with these messy thoughts" and so on.
How to control the mood before the exam
Before the exam, the examinee's emotional state has the dual functions of review and examination. Reasonable control of pre-test emotions should follow the principle of moderation, not too nervous or too lazy.
When the exam comes, if candidates are too nervous, they will have serious exam anxiety, which will directly affect the success or failure of the exam. To overcome test anxiety, we should follow the principle of "comprehensive management", and combine the adjustment of test motivation, self-confidence psychological training, systematic desensitization and intensive review before the test to eliminate the interference of test anxiety. Many stressed candidates are too motivated and beyond their actual ability, resulting in lack of confidence and anxiety. In this case, candidates should automatically adjust their motivation level to match their test motivation with their actual ability. On the basis of reducing the level of motivation, we should also master the systematic knowledge and skills through intensive review before the exam, and establish the confidence of "coming to fight and winning the battle". Systematic desensitization can help you gradually adapt to the atmosphere of the examination room and enhance your psychological endurance for taking major exams. On the other hand, all kinds of psychological training must be based on careful review and full preparation. Without solid knowledge as the backing, it is absurd to have a strong psychological quality.
In contrast to exam anxiety, if a student's mood before the exam is too loose or even depressed, then he is unlikely to succeed in the exam. There are many factors leading to emotional dispersion, usually lack of motivation or low level of motivation in exams. Bad mood, low physiological tide and illness, etc.
So how to make yourself nervous and excited at the right time? This is a good way to make a review plan. Candidates can make reasonable arrangements for the review tasks that must be completed every month, week and day, and fill them in a timetable. If necessary, the amount of study can be appropriately increased. Review schedule can arouse excitement and ensure systematic review. It is not difficult to make a timetable. The key is to force yourself to complete the learning task in strict accordance with the class schedule. After such a period of time, you will consciously enter a rich and intense review life. Of course, you should also arrange necessary cultural and sports activities in the timetable to combine work and rest and adjust your mood.
In addition, herding can be used to enhance the sense of urgency. When you are depressed and have no intention to review, you might as well go to the library or classroom to review. Seeing that all the students around you are studying nervously, you will unconsciously participate.
Besides, if you feel lack of motivation or disheartened, you can imagine the situation after you are admitted to the university. The more you think about it, the more realistic it is. If you have the conditions, you can also do a survey in your favorite university to enjoy the colorful life in the university in advance. If you are in a bad mood, you can imagine or do something that can cause a pleasant experience, such as taking part in some cultural and sports activities or quiz.
College entrance examination is a nervous and complicated intellectual activity, which requires flexible thinking, positive association and efficient memory. Therefore, the examinee's emotional state must be awakened to a certain extent and enter a moderate state of excitement, in order to maximize their true level and achieve ideal results.
Although it is about the college entrance examination, I put it here, hoping to help you. )
