"One person can walk fast, and a group of people can go far." The same is true in learning. A good group can bring higher learning enthusiasm and more lasting learning motivation.
The book tells the author's postgraduate entrance examination experience: when he took the postgraduate entrance examination for the first time, he studied alone. Because the learning process was too boring, he often wanted to give up and could not concentrate on his studies. The first postgraduate entrance examination ended in failure.
After the failure, the author wants to continue the postgraduate entrance examination. This time, he changed his strategy. He didn't review alone, but organized a nine-person postgraduate support group. During the review, he studied together. When someone slacks off, others will keep urging, supporting and working together.
Once an accident happens, everyone can face it together and solve the problem together. Although the majors to be tested are different, the final result is that the staff have passed the postgraduate entrance examination and successfully accepted. By organizing the postgraduate entrance examination group, the author is using the role of group encouragement to maintain everyone's learning enthusiasm and motivation, and finally achieve the purpose of learning.
In learning, there are three kinds of group incentives that can be applied to learning: social incentives, circle incentives and emotional incentives.
When others are present or actively interacting with others, the efficiency of individual behavior tends to improve, which is the driving force of social encouragement. For a simple example, when we study alone at home, we can lie down or play with our mobile phones when we are tired, and time will pass in the rest. And if you study with others in the library, even if you are tired, you will have a rest when you see others still studying hard. You don't want others to see that you are not studying alone, or you don't want to compare with others.
No one can do everything alone, and cooperation can be a win-win situation. If you are an excellent person and stay in the same excellent group, you can learn more and have to learn more, otherwise you will not stay in this group. This is the circle motivation.
Emotional motivation can be divided into friendship and love. Good friendship and love can make each other better people. At this time, emotion is the source of learning motivation. For example, love, there is an example in the book. A boy with the best academic performance fell in love with a girl with the lowest score 10. In order to spend more time with girls, boys helped her with her lessons. Finally, girls entered the top ten and became an excellent student.
Of course, not all groups can generate group motivation and become groups that contribute to learning motivation. How to identify? First of all, groups should have common goals; Secondly, there must be a clear plan; Finally, members should have a certain proportion of advantages and disadvantages.
The common goal is achieved by the team members on their own initiative, for example, everyone wants to study hard and improve their grades. A clear plan is to make all members agree with some basic standards in the group, such as voluntary study, fixed study time, quiet study process and not being absent at will. Moreover, members should have a certain proportion of advantages and disadvantages, which refers to the degree of strong desire to learn. The stronger the members' desire to learn, the greater the group motivation.
Everything has two sides. Group motivation can play a good role in promoting learning, but it may also produce bad results. For example, children who used to love learning don't like learning because their friends are influenced by groups. How can we prevent children from entering bad groups?
The most important thing, of course, is to maintain a good parent-child relationship, and then maintain good and effective communication in the parent-child relationship to gain the trust of children, so as to better influence children's choice in choosing groups and guide children to enter groups that can produce positive promotion.
