We have always said that, not rote learning thing, to \"creatively study and apply\", \"by analogy\", \"apperception\" sth In fact, these learning methods is the genius of it, is because it has mobilized a unique way of thinking--abstract thinking. It\'s attention from the opening of the surface of things, and itself, and away and deep stretches.
Children of limited thinking by age and experience, often is not up to such an extent, but in preschool children, has bred the seeds. If you can seize the opportunity to give effective guidance, I\'m sure his little brains will become more and more \"spiritual\"!
Example 1
Was doing an experiment: a row of candles lit, and then scoop water from the water tanks to douse it. Gorilla after repeated several times, also can mimic; however, if the river of fire, chimps can never scoop water from the River to douse the fire, while watching the fire only burned all the cleaners. This is because the gorilla is not \"water\" concept, it does not know how the river water and water of the water in the cylinder is the same.
Example 2
One academic study of the Soviet Union over the Arctic Ocean coast remnants of primitive tribes, found the people there are 12 words can be used to individually represent different \"walk\", such as \"walk in the morning\", \"night walk\", \"shoes\", \"bare feet\" sth Is not \"walk\" this general concept.
First examples show that people are smarter than other animals, is that people can reason; the second example shows the modern people smarter than the original one, because the former is for specific things to make generalizations. In short description abstract ability is the evolutionary development of a high level of human thinking. In humans that \"elite\" gentlemen, you are from the surface of things to explore to its intrinsic nature and regularity (the truth) people.
Mature process of children\'s thinking, in fact, is the epitome of humanity from barbarism to civilization. Infants learn to speak, initially no abstract thinking ability, they are maybe confused apples with pears and apples of the Moon and differences between how different in nature. But life can make children learn abstractions, such as baby naughty, handle stove result burned up a few bubbles; has had several lessons, he will no longer touch any furnace include those who had not been scalded his furnace. He apparently spontaneously formed a Dim consciousness: what is the fire will also burn people. This hazy sense quite valuable, because similar things he had spontaneously from individual abstract out the kinds of things in common.
However, if the natural formation alone, there are not enough excitement, intellectual development of children of relatively slow a lot. Before the age of 3 children, his training would seem premature; and for pre-school children, we can use various means, in subtle enlightenment on children in this regard!
Understanding training
Understanding refers to the ability to know about any one thing. Process of human knowledge, must be carried out under the prerequisite of understanding, and understanding are developed in childhood gradually develop and, it is creative work after child must have the mental and psychological qualities.
At home, we often use various time consciously to daughter asking \"why\", she further thoughts, ideas, then develop a habit of her own questions, practice has proved that such methods gradually deepened her understanding of things.
We also check from time to time her daughter\'s level of understanding. Such as, if always to fable and General of fairy tale story confused, read or listen to finished zhihou see does not out fable of significance and metaphor, understanding does not to fable by contains of thought significance or lessons, that understanding level on cannot is high; higher of understanding level is began can see fable in the of lessons and significance, and can to it transfer to people of who, just General of range more narrow; more high of understanding level is can immediately understanding fable of meaning or metaphor, and can to abstract of lessons significance transfer to people. We can also learn from children on the understanding of the characters in the story and its causation, contradictions, and understanding of math problems meant to him, such as comprehension level of development. After understanding, can be targeted for further inspired his level!
Judgment training
On such a small child training does not have to think very complex, if you put your heart, a game, a conversation, go shopping, you may receive results. My daughter two years later, we bought her a book about a rabbit\'s album, on the album rabbit rabbit, yellow, black and gray rabbit. We did ask her these rabbits? she shook her head saying different. So is there a different place?, she said. In our inspired, she identified characteristics such as red eyes, long ears, short tails, and said that a rabbit is like that. Clearly, the daughter spontaneously know the \"rabbit\" the concept, the concept of specific rabbit personality have been abandoned (white, black, yellow, gray, and so on). Understanding of \"rabbit\", we used the same methods to help her understand the \"dog\" met \"cats\", and she visited the Zoo: a physical with the concept of several times.
Soon, her mind is continuously embedded \"fruit\", \"vegetables\" more and more things, such as impressions. In order to check whether the daughter clear boundaries between these different concepts, we have to do with her the game: we list the Gecko, grapes, onions, eggplant, watermelon, butterfly, and other things, demanded that she take them separately as \"animals\", \"fruit\", \"vegetables\" in the class, daughter very accurate. This training method allows preliminary judgment of mastering things are children relationship, roughly know the difference and relation between them.
To make a daughter grasp concepts more, we also have to do with her the game: establishing the concept of a genus (such as animals), and then cross dialog way out one by one for each kind of concepts (rabbits, cats, dogs, monkeys sth), a
Says only one, and not to repeat. Who first said not out, who will lose. This dialog can sometimes continue for more than half a hour. Once we deliberately have been her, said \"fish\" later said a \"Loach\" daughter immediately protested, saying Loach is fish too. Clearly, the daughter has faint membership on animals and also contains the Loach is fish, which she later know species concept in logic in the transformation of knowledge with each other under certain conditions make preparations.General strength training
Apart from similar things other than come up with some solid things in her judgment, we according to different properties to let his daughter outlined some of the things the same concept of nature. For example, we had to let his daughter looking for Sparrow, bats, dragonflies, aircraft and other things in common, she said they all fly, we have a variety of colors of things fall into several classes, from which enabled her to outlined the concept of a variety of colors.
His daughter at the age of 4, to which we invited to watch the teaching kindergarten. Classroom, each child\'s magnet and two other groups are on the table, a set of nails, iron sheet, iron padlock, pins, another group is paper, cloth, wood, rubber. The teacher made the children near the magnet that each of the two groups, and then asking everyone\'s feeling. After the experiment, children recognize that those things can be made with iron magnets attract, all non-ferrous items this phenomenon occurs. Conclusion is the Magnet attracts iron.
Spencer said: \"teaching should start from an intuitive, abstract end. \"We came back to this teaching gave a high appraisal, because it is not only the effect of coarse cicada magnets the children, but also provide them with an overview the nails, iron tablets, iron padlock, pins and other things in common. It will make the children things quite impressed.
Reasoning power training
Logical reasoning is also a very important abstract thinking, we usually refer to the information in this regard designed the interesting subject make daughter do. For example, we read that a group of words, let the children listen carefully--
① all animals would die. ② dogs are animals. ③ so the dogs will die.
We let his daughter to judge this is right, she replied;
Next, we say a second set of words, let her take-it-
① all osmanthus blooming in August. ② Park osmanthus are now open. ③ sth
This is the \"from the General to\" type of reasoning. We also have other \"from the total\" perspective, such as:
We read –
① apples, pears, bananas, watermelon is fruit. ② Apples are fruit. ③ PEAR fruit. ④ banana, watermelon is fruit.
Let her take-it-
① cars, trains, planes, ships are transport. ② car is transport. ③ the train transport. ④……
Now parents have attached more importance to make the necessary preparations for the child into the formal learning phase, but I think there are a lot of mistakes. For example, some parents have asked four or five years old child will recognize, will write a lot of text, or even individual also requires children to be able to distinguish between \"eight, people, into\" or \"f is, and has\" and other similar text nuance. This rigid mechanical memory for such a small child, bear, and dampened their interest in learning. I want to preschool children recognize how many words does not matter, if in ordinary life, full of fun exercises children higher thinking ability in the game, would later learn to lay a good foundation for him.
