How to continue studying when I immigrate to Canada?

Improving learning efficiency is a very important issue. Many students' poor academic performance is often caused by low learning efficiency. Low learning efficiency is often caused by many factors. Lower interest in learning, bad study habits, physical illness, etc. can all affect learning efficiency. Below, we conduct a comprehensive examination of this.

1. Self-evaluation of learning problems

Every poor learner may not really understand what his or her problems are. If you want to prescribe the right medicine and solve the problem, you must self-evaluate your learning problems. It becomes particularly important. Self-evaluation of learning problems can be mainly carried out from the following aspects:

l. Time arrangement issues

Poor learners should reflect on the following issues: (1) Whether they seldom set clear goals before studying, such as how much content they need to complete in how much time. (2) Whether there is often no fixed time schedule for studying. (3) Do you often procrastinate so that homework cannot be completed on time? (4) Whether the study plan is always valid only in the first few days. (5) Whether the study time per week is less than 10 hours. (6) Whether you spend all your time studying.

2. Attention issues

(1) Whether the state of complete concentration can only be maintained for 10 to 15 minutes. (2) When studying, are there often novels, magazines and other things around me that distract me? (3) Do you often have whimsical experiences while studying? (4) Do you often learn while chatting with others?

3. Questions about interest in learning

(1) Does your head feel bloated when you see a book? (2) Do you only like liberal arts but not science? (3) Do you often need to force yourself to study? (4) Whether you have never consciously strengthened your learning behavior.

4. Learning method issues

(1) Whether question sea battles are often used to improve problem-solving abilities. (2) Whether mechanical memory method is often used. (3) Have you ever asked for advice on learning methods from classmates who are good at studying? (4) Do you never ask the teacher for advice? (5) Whether you rarely take the initiative to study extracurricular supplementary readings.

Generally speaking, when answering the above questions, the more affirmative answers (answer "yes"), the lower the learning efficiency. Every student with learning problems should list his main problems from the above four categories of problems, and then carry out targeted treatment. For example, a student's problem is as follows: in terms of time arrangement, he always likes to put off tasks to his second husband; in terms of attention issues, he always likes to read while chatting with others in the dormitory; in terms of interest in learning, he I am not interested in professional courses, but I am very interested in some courses in side departments; I mainly use mechanical memorization as a learning method. Once the student's illness is listed, we can take effective treatment measures.

2. Self-improvement method

1. SQ3R method

The SQ3R method proposed by Robinson is a good way to improve learning efficiency. SQ3R is abbreviated from the first letters of Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review.

(1) Survey: Reading in summary. When you want to read a book or an article, you must use the title and subtitle to know the general content, and you must also grasp the beginning, end and paragraphs to ask the sentences that connect the previous and the next. In this way, you will have a clearer goal that is conducive to further learning.

(2) Question: When studying, you should focus on basic issues such as people, events, time, place, reasons, etc., and at the same time look for what you don’t understand. soil fertility. If you are studying a text, questions during the preview can increase your awareness of participation in class. If you can read relevant materials with questions in mind when researching a topic, you will be more targeted.

(3) Reading (Read): The purpose of reading is to find the answer to the question. There is no need to bite the bullet, but focus on understanding the meaning. Some books should be read quickly, which will help improve your knowledge, while some books should be read carefully and the meaning is pondered over and over again.

(4) Recite: After reading a few paragraphs, close the book and think about what was said before. You can make some simple reading summaries in your own language to find out the key expressions. Words use refined language to summarize thoughts into several points. This not only helps memorize, recite or repeat, but also helps improve expression skills and makes thinking more logical. This method of trying to memorize is more effective than simply reading it over and over again.

(5) Review: After reading the entire content, it is necessary to review it again. When reviewing, you can refer to the summary of notes to distinguish the different meanings of each level between paragraphs. The main function of review is to avoid forgetting. Generally speaking, timely review is the most effective. As time goes by, review can be gradually reduced, but regular review will help to consolidate the learning effect. The so-called "the fist never leaves the hand, the tune never leaves the mouth", that is meaning.

2. Self-shaping method

The SQ3R method introduced above is a learning method that can only solve learning problems caused by lack of methods.

For learning problems caused by other reasons, other methods need to be comprehensively considered. The self-shaping method is a comprehensive method.

(1) Select a target. After analyzing the reasons for low learning efficiency, you have found out the crux of your problem, but you should not be impatient to change it. Instead, you should first choose one of the more feasible ones to make key breakthroughs. We often observe that some students immediately formulate a grand study plan after receiving a scolding from their elders. In fact, nine times out of ten, such plans will not be implemented. When I was learning English, one day I suddenly decided to start by reading the original novel. As a result, I borrowed the world-famous book "Martin. Eden" and announced to my friends that I would spend a month reading this book. As a result, I couldn't even finish reading the first page because there were so many new words in it. Later, I chose a more moderate learning goal, starting with an abbreviated version of world classics. As a result, the more I read, the more interested I became, and I no longer regarded English as a daunting path.

(2) Implement a new learning program. If your crux is procrastination, in order to overcome this shortcoming, you should set a rule for yourself and not sleep until you complete the scheduled tasks every day. If your compliment is about inattention, then you should analyze the reason for the inattention. If you are not concentrating on reading in the dormitory, you should order yourself to read in the classroom. If you are not focused after reading for half an hour, you should take a short break or change the study content. If the reason is that you are not interested in reading, first try to read books that you are interested in or change the boring reading method, combine reading with work, entertainment, cultivate your temperament, or give yourself certain rewards for your study. After persisting for a period of time, as good habits are formed, interest in learning will gradually become stronger.
