Chen Kezheng, a native of China, has trained three doctoral daughters: the eldest is a doctoral student at Bonn University; The second child is a doctoral student in Tsinghua; The third child is a student in the continuous class of master's and doctor's degree of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Chen Kezheng claimed that "learning through games" was his unique skill in educating his daughter. This learning method challenges China's traditional concept of "Only by studying hard can you become a talent", which is impressive.
Both play and study need parents' participation.
Wang Shaoqing: Can you tell me in detail how you play and study when you educate your children?
Chen Kezheng: My three daughters were born in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the material conditions were poor and toys were few and not cheap. I have to use local materials to teach students according to "things", such as teaching my daughter to step on the light of a flashlight with her feet and training her children to "play with light" with speed and accuracy.
And "playing cards" Cards are simple problems of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I made it first, and it took 13 seconds. I ask my daughters to take my speed as the standard, train repeatedly and step by step.
And "playing with books". Chinese and foreign masterpieces, fables, scientific anecdotes, etc. They are all within the scope of their "play".
I don't advocate learning as a chore, because parents are too tired and children can't learn well. Playing is a voluntary and absolutely relaxing thing, without any compulsion or compulsion. Teaching through fun, so that children can experience the fun of learning knowledge in "playing", teaching and learning will certainly receive good results.
"learn while playing" to reduce the burden on children
Wang Shaoqing: There are many ways to play games, and every parent and child has their own understanding. Playing is not an end, but a means. What is the focus of your "playing with learning"?
Chen Kezheng: Pay attention to two heights. One is high speed and the other is high precision.
At present, students have a heavy academic burden. If they achieve high speed and accuracy, they can reduce their schoolwork burden without reducing their workload.
Wang Shaoqing: It is said that in order to train these "two heights", you designed your own training method?
Chen Kezheng: These methods are to train speed and accuracy through "learning games".
Specifically, it is in the following aspects:
One is to improve reading speed by means of "two words at a time" and "more words at a time". The word "namely" takes two Chinese characters as "reading symbols"; "Multi-character in a moment" means taking many Chinese characters as a reading symbol. For example, read "China" and "People's Republic of China (PRC)" as one word; "One eye and ten lines" is a reading method that grasps the central sentence and key words and understands its main content without reading word by word.
Fast light is not enough, but also high precision. I showed my second daughter the chapter 14 of Morning in Shanghai, which was * * * 12000, and she finished it in four minutes. In order to test whether she is perfunctory, I also read it again and designed more than a dozen questions: the relationship between people, who wears what clothes, who said what to whom on the bridge and so on. As a result, she got all the answers correctly.
Wang Shaoqing: Some people think that your games and study are a family education revolution. what do you think?
Chen Kezheng: As a new concept of "learning technology", "reading, writing and remembering" will be accepted by more and more people. In this sense, people regard "playing with learning" as a family education revolution and a learning revolution.
When I say learning technology, I mean that students talk about the speed and accuracy of reading, writing and counting from the perspective of skills and technology in the learning process. Understanding "reading, writing and remembering" from a technical point of view is a neglected problem in the field of education, which is really a great pity.
Wang Shaoqing: Does this neglect have serious consequences for children's study? For example, parents and children now say that the learning burden is too heavy. Have you solved the problem of learning technology and the problem of learning burden?
Chen Kezheng: That's right. As far as writing speed is concerned, senior pupils write about 1000 words a day, middle school students write about 3,000 to 4,000 words, and ordinary people write about 1000 words an hour. An 800-word composition usually takes 60 minutes to complete, including the draft. In the college entrance examination room, there is probably not enough time to answer questions. If the speed can be doubled, it is equivalent to reducing the amount of writing by half, which is a good way to "reduce the burden". Since the fifth grade of primary school, I have given them calligraphy lessons: don't write too big; Rewriting running script from regular script; Keep the pen as close to the paper as possible; Improve the grip of the pen and so on. I selected more than 1400 commonly used Chinese characters and asked them to practice in groups, requiring at least 2000 words per hour, with an error rate of less than one thousandth.
Children can read, write, calculate and remember, so they will have fun in reading, writing and calculating, thus becoming interested in learning. When playing and learning, I mostly aim at measuring the speed and accuracy of children's reading, writing and counting. Children like to play this game, and if they play it for a long time, they will get a "useless" effect, which means that "useless" things will accumulate into "useful" things, which means "accumulating armpits into fur"
