Richard Feynman
Feynman Profile
Richard Phillips Feynman (Richard Phillips Feynman), was born on May 11, 1918, a Jewish-American physicist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, it is also considered following the love after Einstein wisest theoretical physicist.
When Feynman lectures at Princeton University, it is always fun in the classroom. He is good at dull, abstract knowledge with simple, accurate expression of figurative language out, come to listen to his class of students tumbled out of the classroom. The students recorded summary of all Feynman Lectures on Physics has been regarded as a classic of people engaged in physical and Bible.
Feynman learning steps
Step One: Select the one you want to understand the concept of
A clear need to learn and understand the goals
Step Two: Imagine a scenario, you are going to teach this concept to others
Imagine a scene or take a piece of paper, as if you are teaching a student initial contact with this concept as simple language to express your concepts. In this process, you will be more aware about how much you understand this concept, and whether there is clear understanding of place.
Step 3: If you feel stuck, and then look at learning materials
If you feel stuck, we must return to the original learning materials and re-learn to make you feel part stuck until you understand smoothly, could explain up to this part of the paper.
Step Four: To make your explanation easy to understand, simplify language
In your own language, rather than in the language learning materials to explain the concept. You should strive to simplify the language, or in analogy to establish a relationship with existing knowledge in order to understand it better.
Flowchart Feynman skills
Feynman the essence of skill
Feynman skills, not so much a knowledge comprehension skills, cognitive tests, said to be as good as a concept, the core content is to make white can listen to understand the learning content you are talking about. Do not understand, not that he could not understand, but you do not learn in place, resulting in the expression is not clear.
In fact, learning level, this is a very high standard. In the learning process, a difficult to understand the content of our understanding is often progressive. From the literal meaning of a conceptual understanding, through the repeated pondering and training, and gradually be able to fully understand the meaning of the concept, the concept can see the whole picture, and ultimately to achieve Feynman standards. Like standing on the balcony watching the earth and for the distance you see the Earth from space looks, the scene is very different.
Feynman technique allows you to maintain a high level of learning and be able to check their own learning, to determine whether the understanding of the concept has reached a high enough level. You can discover the border of his knowledge, out of their cognitive sweet spot, more directly promote growth.
Feynman problem of skills practice
How to use the method to visualize the thinking and understanding of a particular concept.
Einstein was asked: "What in the end is the theory of relativity?" Einstein replied: "You sit beauty around an hour feels like a minute, and in the summer you sit by the fire for a minute feels like an hour this is the theory of relativity! "
Solution to the problem is to use a metaphor, Lenovo, as Feynman to "set" the concept of figurative thinking the same. While we do not discuss the correctness of the judgment and Dr. math theorem, but we can use metaphor and association methods, through their known or fictitious image of the unknown and the known specific knowledge of image links. Use your imagination (similar brain memory), understanding is complete, to test his ability by the plain language what they have learned to "Feynman out."
Feynman using techniques which can bring to enhance the
After practice and understanding, at least the following three aspects will be a huge improvement.
1, it can really understand the meaning of content to learn, strengthen memory, increase the depth of learning;
2, life encounter content has been learned, can mouth to come;
3, you can build your own system to learn new knowledge.
Use in life
In China there is also a veteran who is well versed in this art, he is Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao certainly understand Feynman skills, but his use of it is very good. You know, when the revolution was waged main target is that farmers, at a time when farmers generally low cultural quality, some political, revolution, what doctrine did not understand, so Chairman Mao at that time hit a slogan, "local tyrants, divide the land. " The slogan straightaway, farmers one to know how it is, than the "state-owned land", "equalization of rights" and other slogans is much better. Later including many slogans, although the official did not sound less formal, but also very popular easy to remember, such as "Down with Chiang Kai-shek, the liberation of the whole of China", "Great Leap Forward", "Chinese people have stood up" and so on. There are two types of learning knowledge, the kind of mistake is to focus only know the name of something, but it is the right kind of attention to understand the nature of a certain matter, what does he do? What else to do? How dry? Feynman's father taught him at an early age to identify story black-necked thrush affect his life, to understand the difference between both of the above, it is also one of the most important reason for his success. In fact, he created a learning method, to ensure that he will be more thorough understanding of things than others. Have you learnt that?
