When my mom went to school, the teachers taught one way. They stood in frontof the classroom and talked. Students only listened and wrote things down. Today, itis different.
Teachers often teach different ways. This is good because there are differentways of learning. Some people learn best when they listen. For these students, itcan be useful to record1 a class and listen to it later. But some people learn betterwhen they see new information2. When they see the information, they rememberit better. These students can learn easily by studying tables and maps. Or theymay use flash cards3 with pictures to learn words or other things.
And then there are people who learn best when they do something. Thismeans that they need to use their hands or bodies when they learn. For example,it may be difficult for a student to learn how to make something by reading a listof steps4. But that student might easily learn by doing them once5.
There are two things that can help most students remember new things. One thingis to repeat6 new things after learning them. The more times a student sees or hearssomething, the more chances7 it can be remembered.
Also, students should spend more time studying things in the middle of abook. It is easy to remember contents at the beginning or end of a book. But studentsdo not easily remember the contents in the middle of a book. So, it is a goodidea to spend more time on the middle part. Then, the middle part can be rememberedas well as the beginning and end.
當我媽媽上學的時候,教師用的是單向教學。他們站在教室前講課,學生們只聽課,并記下筆記。今天,情況有所不同。
教師經常用不同的方式教學。這很好,因為有不同的學習方式。有些人在聽的時候學得最好。對于這些學生來說,錄制一節課之后再聽可能會很有用。但有些人看到新信息后會學得更好。在看到這些信息時,他們會把這些信息記得更牢。這些學生可以通過表格和地圖輕松學習。或者他們可以使用帶圖片的卡片來學習單詞或其他內容。
還有一些人在做事情時學得最好。這意味著他們在學習時需要用到手或身體其他部位。例如,有的學生可能很難通過閱讀一系列步驟來學習如何制作某樣東西。但那個學生可能按步驟做一次就能輕易學會了。
有兩點可以幫助大多數學生記住新內容。一點是在學習了新內容之后再復習。學生看到或聽到的次數越多,就有更多的機會能記住它。
此外,學生應該花更多時間研究一本書中間部分的內容。記住一本書的開頭或結尾的內容很容易。但學生們不容易記住書中間部分的內容。所以,花更多的時間在中間部分是個好主意。這樣,中間部分就會像開頭和結尾一樣被牢記。
