How to study training courses effectively
I also want to write an article on how to learn the training course well, but after reading the article written by the punchline, I think it is extraordinary, and I hereby reprint it. Now the training industry is a hot industry, which can be seen from the establishment of training departments by large and small commercial training companies and more and more enterprises in the market. Lectures, open classes, internal training, multimedia teaching and internet teaching, more and more forms of training fill our eyes, which really makes us dazzled. However, everything has two sides. When we vigorously pursue training courses and lectures, some unsatisfactory phenomena and complaints also arise. Among these complaints, the most mentioned is the training effect. The effect of a training is controlled by two most important subjects: one is to train lecturers, and the other is to train students themselves. In the mainstream training in today's society, we are usually listened to, that is to say, it is difficult for us to let teachers teach according to our personal needs, only what teachers say and what we listen to (except, of course, internal training in enterprises). What we can do is to judge and choose the course we want to learn from the teacher's word of mouth, subject, curriculum outline and the introduction of the third party. So here, I will start from ourselves and talk about it from the perspective of cultivating students. Let's talk about the role of training, that is, why we should participate in training. What is the function of training? Generally speaking, training is to guide trainees to change their knowledge, skills and attitudes, so as to have the ability to adapt to the present and the future. The main direction of training is guidance. The so-called "the master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual" is just a word "introduction". So why take a training class? In this regard, many friends will have an idea: "Learning and training is to solve our problems." There is nothing wrong with this idea, but it doesn't say the essential subject. In fact, can training directly solve our problems? The answer is obviously no, the role of training is to guide, not to solve problems for us. The real problem-solving subject is ourselves, not the training course. Of course, if we must aim at solutions, it belongs to the consulting industry, but the cost of consulting projects and training costs can not be mentioned in the same breath. In addition, if it is on-site training, then strengthening interpersonal relationships and interpersonal communication is also one of the main purposes of many people. The trainees who come to participate in the training are generally from a certain industry circle or professional circle, and the group is relatively concentrated, which is indeed one of the best ways to expand the contact surface. 2. What can we hear and learn from the training course? In training courses, what we can hear and learn is generally the "experience" summarized or inferred by the training lecturer through his "experience" in his years of work, study and life. This sentence reads like a tongue twister, but picking out the subject-predicate object is clear: what we can hear and learn is experience. You may have noticed that I mentioned two similar words "experience" and "experience". Here, I clarify the words "experience" and "experience" in my mind, because I find that there are always friends who confuse them. Experience refers to factual information, which represents the course we have gone through and is synonymous with a "process". Benefits of experience: it can bring people feelings in the process. Disadvantages of experience: unchangeable and unrepeatable. Experience refers to viewpoint information, which is a summary or reasoning based on experience. Advantages of experience: you can sum up your study. Experience disadvantages: it's hard to feel! After all, you need to feel or feel when you really practice. In other words, if you have experience but don't summarize it, you won't have experience; Experience is not necessarily necessary, because experience can be obtained by learning or reasoning. So, when you often hear some people say, "I know how to do this." It may mean that he is experienced, but not necessarily experienced; I heard someone say, "I did it." It may mean that he is experienced, but not necessarily experienced. The famous saying "Success cannot be duplicated" is aimed at "experience". "Learning and understanding" is aimed at "experience"! Third, how to reflect the training effect? Since what we can learn is experience, the process of training effect should be to verify "experience" through the guidance of "experience". Pay attention to the word "verification". How can we verify it? Then something needs to be done. An unproven theory will not become truth. Similarly, it is futile not to turn experience into action. We learn from experience, in fact, we hope to find the part that suits us, and then integrate it into our future work and life to guide ourselves, improve ourselves and achieve a better state. After listening to the training, many people said, "This course has no effect. Although the teacher is right, we all understand it, but it is not practical and useless. " In fact, this is a way of saying that you are very irresponsible to yourself. We can try to ask people with this idea a few questions: 1, since the truth is right, we all know, why not do it! 2. If you don't do it, you can't do it or you don't want to do it or you can't do it? 3. Has anyone done it? 4. Why do others do this? If everyone has done it, is it still meaningful for him to speak? 6. If everyone can't do it, is it necessary for him to speak? In fact, after asking these questions, the answer is already obvious. In fact, training itself is an opportunity for people to improve, but whether they can seize the opportunity is not directly related to training, but directly related to trainees. In terms of treatment effect, we should face up to our attitude and assume our responsibilities, so as to achieve better results. 4. Common misunderstandings in training courses: The lecturer also told us about enterprise management. He speaks so well, how did he screw up his own business? "This statement is unfair and not objective for a trainer. To treat this problem, from the perspective of students, I still hope that everyone will correct their attitude towards trainers. I once asked a senior trainer this question, and he replied with a sigh: "Trainers are only disseminators of knowledge and experience, not implementers of practical actions. "I think this answer is very classic and objective. Yes, what we have learned is only experience. As for our future experience, we still have to go by ourselves! 2. "This lecturer is very famous, very famous and very successful. It is right to listen to his class. You can do whatever he teaches you. It's no problem. "This idea is quite confusing and unreasonable. In fact, training courses and trainers should not only look at fame and social recognition, but also rationally look at the content and scope of application they teach. More importantly, we should integrate the experience of celebrities and extract the experience that suits us. If you plagiarize, it is blind imitation. After all, "success is unrepeatable". 3. "I learned the experience of celebrities and tried to verify it, but it was useless and I suffered a big loss. These lecturers are all here to cheat money. "This is also a mainstream misunderstanding, similar to the previous question, which is often the result of blind imitation. Here, I want to elaborate: take some famous lecturers we know best or have known best as examples. Mr Yu Shiwei is a celebrity. Mr. Ceng Shiqiang, Mr. Chen Anzhi, Mr. Lin Weixian and all the teachers who were or are still active in training and business should be said to be celebrities! His teaching has benefited us a lot! However, my personal view of celebrities, especially their theories and views, is that we must analyze them comprehensively and never generalize. For example, I saw a story about Mr. Lin Weixian in an online forum the other day: A netizen asked, "Teacher Lin, you have achieved great success in your career. You are not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a well-known lecturer. What is the most important thing for you? " Mr Lin Weixian didn't give a direct answer. He drew a circle, but it was not perfect, leaving a gap. He asked, "What is this? "Zero", "Circle", "Unfinished Business" and "Success" were all answered by netizens. He was noncommittal about these answers: "In fact, this is only an incomplete period. You asked me why I achieved brilliant results. The reason is simple: I won't do things perfectly, just like drawing a full stop. I have to leave a gap for my subordinates to fill. "Leave a gap for others, doesn't mean that your ability is not strong. In fact, this is a kind of management wisdom and a higher level of overall improvement. Give the monkey a tree and let it climb constantly; Give the tiger a mountain and let it roam freely. Perhaps, this is the highest state of enterprise management and employment. -There are many friends on the comment forum who are full of praise for this passage and admire it. I also admire teacher Lin's assertion that giving opportunities to subordinates is actually more effective than other incentives. But I always like to consider the pros and cons of things, and I also wrote some "cold water" words, trying to make up for the unfinished "period": 7 management is inconclusive, look at the environment! The gap theory may be established, but it also has some limitations, because the premise of its establishment is that "subordinates are good employees who are good at learning, being good at discovering, being brave in improving and having the ability to improve", otherwise it may give employees the following feeling: (1) Why are leaders so careless? Such a careless person really doesn't know if he can take care of us in the future. (Challenge employees) (2) That's all for a leader, just like me. (Satisfied employees) (3) Here is a problem. Does the leader know? Is it a test or something? (skeptical employee) (4) This question, I really don't know if I told the leader that he would praise me or hate me! (Vulnerable employees), not any employees in any department of any company, are potential "excellent employees". Is this "gap method" a test for selecting excellent employees? Or do you want to eliminate bad employees? Or do you want to find something for your employees? It is debatable. In fact, what I said above is not to challenge Mr. Lin's point of view, because I know that he is capable of knowing when to deal with whom in this way. However, I think it is more dangerous to see that most netizens have a positive attitude and earnestly say "it is worth emulating". In order to balance views and enrich theories, I wrote the above paragraph to remind everyone to think more. In fact, behind the single theory of every celebrity, there are huge and complicated arguments to support it. The same set of theories, people with different backgrounds, what to treat, who to face, what methods to use, what effects they will have, and what side effects they may have … all have great variables. It can be said that every link and key point is very important. If you want to do a good job, you really need a lot of experience and support to be perfect. When we usually listen to celebrity lectures or courses, we can only hear arguments, but it is difficult to hear all arguments and arguments, as well as the "background and premise" supporting arguments. If we do not conduct a comprehensive analysis and demonstration, but blindly study and implement it, the degree of danger can be imagined. As for some friends who blindly implement or fail because of other uncertain factors, thus imposing the responsibility on the lecturer and the course, it is even more inappropriate to say that "this lecturer's course is useless" or even more subjective to say that "these teachers are cheating money"! So, let's be more rational and remember: to avoid the useless theory of classroom learning, we must first "get used to thinking comprehensively"! I quite like the topic of this course, but the teacher's background industry has nothing to do with my current industry. The estimated effect is not great. " This idea has some truth, but it is still one-sided. Because the suitability of this course is not entirely related to the industry, but to your purpose and your own experience. If your purpose is to study practical training courses to ensure practical work, then the teacher's industry experience may be one of the important reference factors, because he may give you specific guidance at work. However, if you are already familiar with your own industry or post and want to take part in the training in order to improve and develop your own ideas and methods, then it may be the best choice to listen to unfamiliar experiences and methodologies in other industries! This helps you to learn from others, and it also helps you to learn from others. As the saying goes: "Interlacing is like a mountain, interlacing is like a mountain." "Stones from other mountains can attack jade." This is a fact. "I am willing to listen to this part, I will listen more, and I will listen less when that part is boring." The problem, like the third point, needs a comprehensive understanding and analysis. Any single argument will be supported by other related arguments and arguments. In addition, in general, if it is paid training, it is hard to say that you can pay for it by listening to several parts. Since we also paid the fee, why not listen more? If you have understood what you have heard, then it is not an idea that has been verified by others; If what you hear has nothing to do with you, or you don't understand, it doesn't hurt to know more, which is much better than chatting and sleeping. 5. How to prepare before attending the training class and how to review after class? No matter what you study and what training you listen to, the trilogy of learning will never change-preparation before class, study during class and review after class. 1, prepare before class. If learning is effective, then purposeful learning is definitely much more effective than random learning. Before attending a training course, we'd better know about the organizer, the specific background information of the lecturer and the maturity of the course. It would be better if there is a framework outline of the course, and the key parts of the course can be prepared in advance. Moreover, it is to listen with questions. With questions and targeted lectures, we can grasp the most appropriate key links in the course more accurately. Courses can't solve problems, but courses can help you solve doubts and point you in the right direction. In addition, before attending a training, you need to prepare the following items for reference only: (1) notebook and pen. Used to record. (2) business cards. If there are other people at the scene, you can exchange business cards for further communication. (3) recording pen. If the course is approved in advance and you want to go back to review, you can bring a recording pen if the training organizer has not stated that recording equipment is not allowed. If the organizer has a regulation that copyright protection does not allow live recording, then don't do it, which is harmful to industry ethics! In terms of time, it should also be considered. Personally, I am used to arriving half an hour early. When I arrive, I will watch the staff decorate the venue, arrange affairs, and more importantly, watch them receive students. Besides, I will get to know each other and exchange business cards with my classmates next door. On the one hand, I can make friends, on the other hand, I can share more information with each other. 2. study in class. Many friends think: "Learning in the course means listening more and remembering more." This sentence is true, but it seems simple, but there is a very important problem in it: it is of course appropriate for us to listen and remember all the time when we are listening to the training, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do so. If you are lost, you often forget to remember; If you just take notes, you can't write as fast as a lecturer. Maybe this sentence has passed before you finish remembering it. So should we give priority to listening more or remembering more? It varies from person to person and from purpose to purpose. Some students may not have much interest in the course itself, but only focus on pioneering thinking and ideas, focusing on some important links in the middle, so naturally they can write less, just write down their own inspiration and some important ideas and experiences in the course. However, some students are interested in more purposeful courses, and may be sent by the company to attend classes, and they need to share the content with you when they go back. In this case, a good memory is not as good as a bad writing, and it must be based on rote learning, including case analysis, small games and interactions, and students' answers. In addition, the rest time in the middle of the course is also a good opportunity for us to exchange business cards and communicate with other students and teachers. 3. Review after class. After-class review is divided into on-site and off-site parts. Generally speaking, after the course, the lecturer will stay at the scene for a period of time, and students will come up to ask questions or sign autographs and take photos as a souvenir. This time is the best time to communicate and ask questions with lecturers. On the one hand, you can ask yourself, on the other hand, you can hear the questions asked by other students. It can be said that it is a good time to share. Many people say that for himself, this short time may be more effective than the whole course. After leaving the scene, according to the habits of ordinary people, they either throw their speeches at work or at home, or have a big chat with their friends. It seems that this will not happen in a day or two. In my experience, no matter how good the course is, it is almost ineffective without later review. Of course, this has also produced the argument that "those teachers speak well, but they are unrealistic and useless." Is training useless? Generally speaking, no, it should be said that you are useless at all. Here I recommend a good attitude to everyone. Many people know that sentence: if you think you know it, you probably don't; But if you can tell others what you have learned and make them understand, then you really understand! This sentence seems simple, but it is also the most difficult to do. Because to do this, the most important thing is not ability, but attitude. Without a good attitude, your ability is useless no matter how high it is. Let's end with that sentence: "Attitude is everything". Training classes can cultivate and teach your attitude. Similarly, a good attitude can make you study training courses better. Here, I hope all of us can: think, learn, do and finally-do well!
