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.
当我妈妈上学的时候,教师用的是单向教学。他们站在教室前讲课,学生们只听课,并记下笔记。今天,情况有所不同。
教师经常用不同的方式教学。这很好,因为有不同的学习方式。有些人在听的时候学得最好。对于这些学生来说,录制一节课之后再听可能会很有用。但有些人看到新信息后会学得更好。在看到这些信息时,他们会把这些信息记得更牢。这些学生可以通过表格和地图轻松学习。或者他们可以使用带图片的卡片来学习单词或其他内容。
還有一些人在做事情时学得最好。这意味着他们在学习时需要用到手或身体其他部位。例如,有的学生可能很难通过阅读一系列步骤来学习如何制作某样东西。但那个学生可能按步骤做一次就能轻易学会了。
有两点可以帮助大多数学生记住新内容。一点是在学习了新内容之后再复习。学生看到或听到的次数越多,就有更多的机会能记住它。
此外,学生应该花更多时间研究一本书中间部分的内容。记住一本书的开头或结尾的内容很容易。但学生们不容易记住书中间部分的内容。所以,花更多的时间在中间部分是个好主意。这样,中间部分就会像开头和结尾一样被牢记。
