28、re your friends. 译文参考 主动学习 凯文 道姆 大多数人认为人类的大脑是“自动的”这意味着它可以自己学习所有 的东西。但这并不总是真的。我们需要训练自己成为更好的学习者,积极参与学 习过程并思考我们学过的东西。这种学习行为叫作“主动学习”。为了积极主动 地学习,我建议做五件事。 1听外面的声音 有两种声音:内心的声音和外在的声音。你内心的声音表达你的个人观点, 而外在的声音则从你所听到或所读到的内容来告诉你观点。虽然, 你内心的声音 是有用的,但它也会妨碍学习。如果你一直太关注它,你就有可能错过重要的信 息。相反,积极的学习者思想开放,专注于讲话者或作者在说什么,而不是他们
29、的大脑在后台说什么。这样,他们就能更好地做出决定。 2与你内心的声音争论 如果你发现你内心的声音很难控制, 你可以像大多数积极的学习者那样与之 争论。 当你内心的声音告诉你一个讲话者或作者是错的, 想想为什么讲话者或作 者可能是对的。 在你的观点上灵活些, 最终你也许会同意讲话者或是作者的观点。 如果不是,至少你有“听”另一个观点。 3提出问题 提问是促进主动学习的最简单的方法。当你从某人那里、从书本或互联网上 得到信息,问两个、三个甚至五个关于这个话题的问题。答案将引导你进一步学 习,而问题的解决将帮助你对这个话题有更高层次的理解。简而言之:不要停止 好奇。 4说实话 积极的学习者不会接受他
30、们所学的一切。 他们努力从每个观点最核心的地方 找寻真相。即使一个想法听起来完全不可能, 其中也有某个方面可能是基于事实 的。所以如果有人说恐龙今天仍然存在,想想他们为什么相信这一点。这个想法 9 是从哪里来的?他们有足够的资料支撑他们的观点吗?如果你试图找出一个想 法的来源,不管它看起来有多疯狂,这将增加你学习一些东西的机会。 5专注于信息 许多人错失了学习的机会,因为他们让自己的感情成为障碍。他们拒绝学习 或忽视所说的话,因为他是演讲者或作者。的确,我们情不自禁喜欢一些人 这毕竟是人性。但别忘了你仍然可以从中学习。积极的学习者不会根据第一印象 或个人感觉来判断人。相反,他们把信息和信使分开
