Before going to college, some students imagined college life very well. When they find that the reality does not match the ideal scene, they often feel a sense of loss and loneliness, which casts a gray shadow on everyone's behavior and loses their enthusiasm for learning and living.
"When I was in middle school, I imagined my college life was too beautiful, but when I actually entered the university, I found that reality was completely different from imagination. My personality is not bad, and my communication with my classmates is reasonable. But I can't solve any problems well. I don't have the energy to study now, I don't concentrate in class, I can't read books, and I didn't do well in the midterm exam just past ... In short, I feel terrible now. "
"Actually, I'm not the only one in our class. Several students find learning boring. It seems that they all learn the same, and there is no big difference. Seriously, what are we studying for? -Not just for a good job? But now go and see if there is a good job? " This is the psychological self-report of a college student.
Reasons for learning boredom
In recent years, with the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities year by year, the number of college students has increased, and the concept of learning uselessness has followed. Therefore, it is impossible for all college students to have corresponding careers. Some college students think that no matter how good they study, they may not be able to find a good job in the future, and success depends on opportunities.
Another major responsibility is the inadaptability of educational methods. Learning in middle schools mostly depends on repeated recitation and practice. After entering the university, some college students still follow the inapplicable middle school learning methods to study the new curriculum, which will lead to unsatisfactory academic performance, but at the same time ignore the adjustment of learning methods, which will make some college students bear greater psychological pressure and produce emotional reactions such as anxiety and tension.
The teacher "can't manage" so much, but he feels relaxed at once. Some college students don't know how to use their spare time. They feel bored and empty. Both of these situations belong to the problem of adaptation to the new learning environment.
There are still quite a few college students who are bored with their studies and subconsciously have a psychology of seeking self-compensation. It is often because of exams and studies in middle school that my hobbies are suppressed. Once they enter the university, they think they should "compensate" well. Some college students regard going to college as a period of pursuing happiness. Even if they go through hardships for an ideal, their will to achieve their goals has disappeared, and they will become more and more tired of learning.
Another point is that the major is not to my liking. Some college students fail to learn the major they want to study because of college entrance examination scores or some reasons, which will produce an unfair negative emotion and even feel pessimistic and worried about their future; There are also some college students who don't know their major before entering school, just for the so-called "popularity". When they really started to contact this major, they found that there was a world of difference between reality and imagination, and felt that their personality and ability were not suitable for the development of this major, and perhaps they would develop better in other majors, resulting in disappointment and regret.
To solve the problem of study, we should clearly know that study is the most important thing in college. Only in this period can we have enough time to study, and such learning opportunities are hard to come by. It is the premise of improving learning motivation. Under this condition, we should adapt to the new environment smoothly, and not only gradually enhance our independent self-care ability in life. Enhance the adaptability of interpersonal relationships. And look at and demand that life be more mature than before.
How to stimulate positive learning attitude
Facing the negative mentality of boring study, we should adjust it in time and effectively. For college students who have just entered the school, their learning and living environment and personal and social expectations have changed greatly, which requires them to adapt quickly in a short time.
While adapting, re-recognize and evaluate yourself. Just like a girl said, since she entered school, she has been in a bad mood and unhappy, accompanied by obvious depression and fear, which has caused the current problems. The weariness of learning caused by emotional fluctuation is a common reaction that college students can't adapt to the new environment well.
If you want to have a good learning psychology, you must be clear about the meaning of learning. In college, some scholars call it "deferred payment period", that is, college students can rely on their parents' support economically, do not directly participate in production activities and social activities, and enjoy the privilege of receiving higher education. There is a deeper meaning in this period, that is, the establishment of self, that is, what kind of person you want to be. During the "deferred payment period", the state, society and parents poured a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. If you are thinking about what you should do now, the answer is: you are a student, you should study first.
Another point is the need to adjust learning methods. As we mentioned above, the change of study and living environment has increased the difficulty for freshmen to adapt to the new environment. One of the basic characteristics of university study is to emphasize the ability of self-study and independent thinking. The direct guidance of teachers is greatly reduced, and most of the study time is mastered by oneself. With the attitude of "I love my teacher, I love the truth more", open my mind and dare to innovate.
Finally, we should correct the concept of choosing a job. Some college students think too much about whether they are "red" or "rich" when designing their own career paths. Once you find that your professional and social needs are not "hot" or you don't earn much money, you feel that learning is boring, and even that it is unwise to be tired of learning.
In fact, we should see that every step of social development is the result of various professional activities, and the achievements of each professional activity are permeated with the contributions of other professional activities. Therefore, when considering career choice, we need to have foresight, not only to see the present, but also to foresee the future development.
