Hot attention: As long as children are trained, they can become "genius prodigies" who read books with their ears, scan with their naked eyes and leave their brains in the whole book. Can you believe it? Recently, an advertisement for the publication Very Learning 3+ 1, which claimed to be a mass-produced "genius prodigy", constantly rushed into the public eye through newspapers.
Readers call: "Genius prodigy" can really be mass-produced?
"This book is very learned. 3+ 1 is amazing." A parent surnamed Cheng called the readers' hotline and told reporters that she often saw large advertisements about this book in newspapers recently. "What 15 junior high school students spent 17 minutes and 43 seconds reading the main content of a book" World History "with120,000 words, and the memorabilia were almost all repeated in the original text; On the first day of school, the fifth-grade students learned Ba Jin's Sunrise on the Sea. Before other students finished reading it for the first time, he knew it by heart. Freshmen in Grade One have previewed all the courses in Grade One in less than a week. After closing the book, they can tell most of the contents of the book like stories. It's amazing! "
What is even more puzzling is that there are actually several actual cases of "cultivating" into "genius prodigies" in each advertisement. Photos, names, schools and home addresses are all published in great detail, which makes all parents who have seen them moved!
Ms. Cheng said that her daughter will go to junior high school when she starts school. She has been paying close attention to reference books. If a book can teach children correct learning methods and improve learning efficiency, it is indeed a good thing, but this book is too vague. She wants to go to the bookstore to see what is written in the book, but unfortunately, unlike other reference books and counseling books, this schoolbag is wrapped too tightly, and the contents can only be seen after paying the money. She called for advice according to the book hotline advertised. The consultant said that this book has 8 CDs, 1 learning manual, 1 set of training charts, and that it will be effective after use.
"Can you help me investigate and see if the advertisement is true or not?" Ms. Cheng made a request.
An unannounced visit to the bookstore: the blue packaging is very eye-catching!
On the third floor of the Provincial Library Building, you can see the propaganda of "Learning 3+ 1 very much" as soon as you get on the elevator. The blue package is very eye-catching, because it is wrapped in plastic paper, so you can't see what's inside. And your dream of "extremely fast learning ability" is sandwiched in plastic leather and directly reflected in your eyes and brain; After reading it, you can recite it backwards; You can understand it at first sight, but you can learn it soon. The slogan "train for 30 minutes every day and improve your grades easily" is really inflammatory.
The reporter observed from the sidelines that dozens of parents came to ask questions within an hour. As long as people pass by this book, they usually come back to consult or read the relevant introduction on the package again.
The reporter saw that the package said: "The popular fast reading memory method in the United States has mastered a set of fast reading memory skills in a short time and has extraordinary learning ability; After training for 30 minutes every day, 12 days, you will find that you have a super learning ability that can be read at a glance, which has been improved by more than three times and your learning confidence has been greatly improved. Reading the new textbook is 10 times faster than others. After memorizing most of the contents in the book, you can spend 10% of others' time reading the test paper, saving time, and you will be full of confidence in the exam. With a little effort, you can have 10 times more knowledge than others. "
"Fei Chang Xue 3+ 1" costs 286 yuan. Bookstore staff said that "Very Learning 3+ 1" was published by Science and Culture Audio-visual Publishing House, and it was not a supplementary book for teaching a certain subject, but a special book for teaching learning methods in primary schools and junior high schools. Many people pay money at the sales site. Through two-day investigation, more than 20 parents paid money from 2 pm to 3 pm on August 28th, and 65,438+07 parents paid money from 9 am to 65,438+00 on August 365,438+0.
"My children have been very active in their studies, but they just can't get on in Chinese and English. Our parents are very worried. Seeing the book introduced in the advertisement is of great help to children's memory improvement. If it really helps, it will be more expensive! " Mr. Zhang, who bought the book, said.
Mr. Huang bought this book because he saw his colleague's children in the newspaper. "I don't believe the content of the advertisement, but one of the children who use it well in the newspaper is my friend's child. He said that his children's reading and memory skills have really improved a lot, so I also want to try. "
In-depth investigation: the result of visiting the "genius prodigy" was unexpected!
Are there really prodigies? The first-year freshmen, fifth-grade students and junior high school students aged 15 mentioned in the advertisement have all achieved miraculous results through this book. Is it true?/You don't say. According to the school and address marked in the advertisement, I easily found several students who had published in this city.
In Chang 'an District, we met Tian, who was advertised as "the first batch of artificial geniuses". His introduction surprised the reporter. "I read the fastest before going to school, that is, about 200 words a minute. It is difficult to remember after reading the content. Through the training of "Fei Xue 3+ 1" on the third day, it is obvious that the reading speed is much faster than before, and the comprehension and memory rate on the fourth and fifth days are also improved. Now normal reading can reach more than 2000 words per minute, and the understanding and memory rate is over 80%. Chinese, history, geography and other subjects are much easier to learn; Mathematics and physics are understood faster than before. During the holiday, the teacher arranged to read three books. I went to the book building two days before the start of school and read three books a day, which I never dared to think about before. The contents of the book are deeply imprinted in my mind like a movie, and I still remember it clearly! "
I was extremely shocked by the few people I visited later. Liu Jiahuan students from 54 institutes read a book I specially prepared, Two Wan Li under the Sea, in less than 50 minutes, and then answered my questions, many of which even repeated the original text! After more than half a month's training, Guo Da, a senior one student in Hengshui No.1 Middle School, reached an amazing reading speed of 3,000 words/minute. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!
Liu Jiahuan's mother said with emotion, "This set of books is really useful! My child used to study very slowly. After reading this book, she was not deeply impressed. She dawdles on her homework, and others can finish it in an hour. She has to stay up for two or three hours every day. On the fourth day, after "Fei Chang Xue 3+ 1", children's reading speed and comprehension and memory rate will be improved. After testing, it can reach about 1000 words per minute, and you can say what you have read immediately after closing the book. The attention is obviously concentrated, and the speed of doing homework is obviously much faster. "
Education expert: the propaganda of artificial genius prodigy is a bit excessive!
Although the facts are in front of me, I still can't believe it. Is there really such a magical book in the world? Can you really become a "speed reader", "memory wizard", "writing wizard" and "literacy genius" through training? Can you really count lines with one eye, scan with the naked eye and keep the whole secretary in your heart? The reporter interviewed experts in brain science and pedagogy, hoping to explain the miracle I saw with the help of authoritative science.
Professor Zhang, deputy director of the Learning Science Research Center of Hebei Normal University, said that from the perspective of brain science, the cognitive and behavioral habits of the brain can be trained, and the memory ability can indeed be cultivated through training. "Remembering 20-40 irregular numbers in 2 minutes" and "Remembering nearly 100 English words in one night" are scientifically called instant memory, which is realized through images and associations. Scientific experiments have proved that this memory is the neural structure of the brain after a series of chemical reactions, which remains in the brain for a long time and is difficult to disappear.
"Reading 3000-1 0000 words in1minute is called' speed reading'." Director Zhou of Shijiazhuang Institute of Educational Science introduced that there are international institutions specializing in "speed reading", the most representative of which is the (American speed reading program), which is also the name of the American discipline specializing in learning ability. The research team includes psychologists, linguists and brain scientists from more than ten foreign universities. Their research topics are mainly fast reading and instant memory.
In fact, this technology originated from the British Air Force during World War II and was widely used in spy training by the former Soviet Union after the war. Later, with the efforts of the PSR group in the United States, it was applied to learning, and this achievement was vigorously developed throughout the United States and popularized all over the world.
"To a certain extent, it is right to improve reading and memory ability through such training! It is a bit excessive to expect short-term special training and want to turn ordinary children into prodigies! " After reading the advertisement of "Extraordinary Learning 3+ 1", Dr. Li from the Institute of Educational Sciences of Shanxi Normal University said that no matter how good the method is, it must be implemented with certain execution. "Extraordinary Learning 3+ 1" advocates improving reading, memory and understanding through training, and the added one requires learners to make a little effort! "
He said that the development of modern psychological science and cognitive science has provided many scientific methodologies for people's learning. Learning and memorizing according to people's learning rules can really improve people's learning efficiency. Therefore, learners need to master scientific learning methods first, which is necessary and beyond doubt.
Author's opinion: Parents should not be "suckers"!
There are all kinds of "learning machines" and "training manuals", as well as "college entrance examination" and "senior high school entrance examination". In the market, there are countless advertisements for products related to learning. A person engaged in book distribution revealed that similar products rely on overwhelming publicity after they are put on the market, and the general sales effect is not bad, but parents will soon find out that they are "suckers".
According to Dr. Gao from the School of Education Science of Shandong Normal University, the current social differentiation and competition are intensifying. However, due to our education system, especially the examination system, society, parents and schools generally pursue students' examination results, paying special attention to students' recitation level and ignoring the cultivation of students' basic abilities. Only when students' learning ability is improved can it really be a good thing for students and social development!
Professor Wang, a professor of psychology at Sun Yat-sen University, said that a famous education expert once said, "Illiteracy in the 2 1 century is not a person without knowledge, but a person who can't learn." "Very Learning 3+ 1" has aroused people's widespread concern since it came out, and hundreds of local media have reported it one after another. It can be said that although not every child can become a "prodigy" or a "genius" after using Very Learning 3+ 1, it is more affordable for them to master an efficient learning skill than those empty titles! For example, every child is the most advanced IBM computer, but the installed software is different. If he is equipped with high-speed learning software, his learning ability will be doubled. With this ability, you can not only cope with it easily in your studies, but also master the "golden key" for future life clearance.
But the key is to look at people. People also made it very clear that everyone can't be a genius.
