You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.
- Richard Feynman
The other day, under Mr. Gou's guidance, I read two books about learning methods and extracted the main contents as follows:
Feynman Learning Technique
1. Objective - Define the learning target to generate focus
2. Comprehension - Systematize knowledge by keeping the good and discarding the bad
3. Output - Transfer learned knowledge to others; teach to learn
4. Review - Reflect on what has been learned for in-depth analysis
5. Simplify - Simplify the absorbed knowledge system to internalize knowledge
It is said that medical education in the U.S. follows these steps: observe, practice, and teach. Only through the third step of teaching others can one truly master the material.
Card Learning Method
1. Theme Establishment
2. Collect Information and Tag Appropriately (atomic note-taking, one thing at a time)
3. Practice Knowledge (transform concepts into decisions, observe the influence between decision and result)
4. Periodic Organization and Output (add cases, internalize the process)
5. Turn into a lecture course for output (the Feynman Learning Technique also mentions output)
6. Feedback Iteration
The three-step method for research breakthroughs is similar to the card learning method: 1. Project initiation (find a problem); 2. Loafing around (let the problem linger in your mind without forcing it); 3. Epiphany (one day you suddenly understand the problem).
Due to limited time today, I will only share these two learning methods, but both emphasize the importance of output. Therefore, this sharing session exists because the method of learning how to learn tells us that sharing is one of the steps in learning.
