More effective learning
By Patricia Skalka
A friend of mine was at a dinner party where two men she knew were discussing “The Right Stuff”, a book about the Mercury space program. While Ted went on and on about the technical details he had picked up from the book, Dan offered only a few tentative comments.” Ted got so much out of the reading than I did,” Dan later said to my friend. “Is he much smarter than I am?”
My friend, an educator, was curious. She knew the two men had similar educational background and intelligence levels. She talked with each other discovered the answer: Ted just knew how to learn better than Dan did. Ted had made his brain more absorbent by using a few simple skills.
For years, experts had believed that an individual's ability to learn was a fixed capacity. During the last two decades, however, leading psychologists and educators have come to think otherwise. There is increasing proof that human intelligence is expandable. With proper skills people can actually improve their learning ability.
Moreover, these skills are basic enough so that almost anyone can master them with practice. Here, gathered from the ideas of experts across the country, are some proven ways to increase your learning ability.
1.Look at the whole picture first. When reading new, unfamiliar material, do not plunge directly into it. You can increase your comprehension and retention if you scan the material first. Skim subtitles, photo captions and any available summaries. With reports or articles, read the first sentence of each paragraph; with books, glance at the table of contents and introduction.
All this previewing will help keep in your mind what you then read.
2.Slow down and talk to yourself. While speed--reading may be fine for easy material, slower reading can be much more effective for absorbing complex, challenging works. Arthur Whidbey and Jack Lockhead, co--authors of the high--school and college handbook Problem Solving and Comprehension, have isolated three basic differences in how good and bad learners study:
*. Good learners vocalize, or voice the material, either silently or aloud, they slow down, listening to each word as they read.
*. Good learners, when they do not understand, automatically reread until they do understand the material. Poor readers, by contrast, just keep going if they don't get it the first time.
*. Good learners become” actively involved” with new information, they think about what they read, challenge it, make it their own.
In 1979, Whidbey introduced a slow, vocalized reading method into a five-week, pre-freshman program at Xavier University in New Orleans. Many of the 175 students using this technique jumped two grade levels in comprehension, and their college-aptitude test scores rose by as much as 14 percent. 展开
