Seven key learning errors

A person learns constantly, even if you do not learn anything actively and intentionally. We take a great knowledge of the Internet, prepare different dishes, hide emotions and much more. But directed learning is much more difficult.

SourceRegardless of what I study, biology, math or playing the guitar, there are errors that do not depend on the subject. We would like to talk about them in this article. After all, if you manage to avoid them, the learning rate will increase several times.

1.Remember what you need to understand

The mnemonic and simple memorization can sometimes help. They develop memory, creative imagination and discipline. But one must separate what needs to be remembered and what it must absorb.

Formulas you need to know, but it is important to understand what they mean and how to apply them in real life.

Another problem with memorization is that this method does not allow searching links between topics and objects. We absorb knowledge better when we see how it relates to the information we already know.

2.Lack of practice

Going to courses is not a practice. Highlight text, reread notes - too. The practice is

• try to answer a question without a clue;
• applying a skill, not just learning it;
• get feedback on whether the attempt was successful.

Decide in advance what percentage of time you will devote to the practice, studying the subject. For example, it is possible to assign 50% for physics, 75% for a foreign language.

A good way to test yourself is self-esteem. The next time you read the book you want to understand, create a list of questions, not quotes.

3.Create the wrong environment.

A person who learns a foreign language can be placed in an environment conducive to learning it: go to another country or communicate only in that language.

A person who wants to start his blog can read a lot of literature on the subject. But it is better to start blogging immediately and look for comments. In this way, you will be located in an environment where you can practice, acquire immediate experience and acquire knowledge.

Look who learns quickly and efficiently. In what environment were they put?

4.Be a short-term perfectionist

Nobody wants to look like a fool. We hide that we did not understand the subject and we want to make it clear to those around us that we understood everything. Therefore, it is better to demonstrate the skills that have been mastered for a long time.

We wait until we are ready for the achievements, but at this moment we are practicing what we already know.

The best motto is to make a mistake as soon as possible, to make an error as much as possible. Make mistakes and do not be afraid to look like a fool. It means not taking oneself seriously and appeasing the ego.

It's hard to say for sure, but maybe most people in the world want to do more. And only some of them really do this. They have worked with their psyche, they are used to separating the errors of their personality and they are trained several times faster than others.

5.Do not be a long-term perfectionist

Perfectionist in learning to be praiseworthy. Long-term perfectionist:

It does not wait for the right moment, but acts here and now. Constantly improve your skills. It is inconvenient because it has been marking time for a long time.

A short-term perfectionist will not practice foreign language skills for a long time and refuses to dialogue with native speakers. The long term will be as soon as possible: first, he will make several mistakes, but in the end he will transmit his thoughts. And this experience will be remembered for a lifetime.

6.Teach without limits.

Some people make strange decisions: learn Chinese or become a programming expert. They say they know how long it lasts, but they are sure that they can save their motivation until the end. Frequent result? The case is rushed in a month.

When we begin to learn something very complex, we must understand that the word "should" does not work here. Five years to study programming can only be the person who really feels passion and does not want anything else.

In addition, we need a clear strategy. Surely, he had this: today he learns 7 hours, tomorrow 8 hours and the day after tomorrow the desire of 20 minutes is barely enough. These are consequences of the absence of restrictions.

The formation must be harmoniously intertwined with your life, and not suppressed.

7.You are not interested

Many people are convinced that the subject they are learning is boring. This is wrong, because everything depends on the mood you create.

If you want to consider studying boring, it will happen. You will show interest in it, the learning speed will increase several times.

The main thing is to ask questions and search insatiably for answers. Curiosity kills boredom, you just have to ignite enthusiasm. Take notes, use stickers and diagrams, draw mental maps and fully participate in the process.

If you wake up in the morning and feel like you do not want to practice, take a few minutes to increase your motivation. Think about the benefits of studying the subject. It usually takes five to ten minutes for the interest to appear.
