Basso-Relievo
In the last analysis all education is self-education. With an interested response by the learner to what is presented by teacher or book, with the will to learn, and with the curiosity to solve the problems that confront and challenge one who would become educated, one may find the mastery of any subject an interesting adventure.
Alas! how few know how to go about it. The average learner, despite his early resolution to "grind out" his tasks, is soon in a state of bewilderment because he has unconsciously failed to make the right start. The time was, not so long ago, that education was assumed to consist of memorizing a textbook. Were that the whole story, all that would be required would be to spread before the learner a series of facts, figures, rules, and formulas. Memorize these and one might pose as a learned person. Psychologists have shown us the fallacies of this method of study.
Such an education utterly neglects to train the thinking faculties or to prepare the learner to utilize in any practical way what he has acquired. It would be well, then, before he enters upon the study of any one subject, for the learner to take serious heed as to how he should conduct this study. In other words, he should first learn the simple fundamentals of teaching.
It is equally important that the subjects should be presented in a sound pedagogical manner. Here, too, modern psychology has been called into play. All learning, we are told, depends on the proper stimuli and responses. Without creative interest and the correlation of subject with vital, everyday problems there is no educational gain. The reactions that result in a satisfying response are retained, while those that are disturbing will not be retained or used. Thus the educative process is too often a matter of trail and error. Those who have prepared the lessons in this section of the blog have had all this in mind. All the problems presented are related to practical experience; and in working them out the learner should find the incentive of interest, should be stimulated by satisfying responses to progress in the mastery of successive steps, and should discover his thinking power to be growing.
Association of Ideas.
On the contrary, in our trial-and-error activity, as response that is annoying will hinder the learning. One tries to learn how to drive an automobile. On the first trial he may have an accident due to a mistake in shifting gears. This discourages him and perhaps results in his giving up further trial. If, however, on a second trial he avoids his earlier error, the result is so satisfying that he has an incentive to go on in his learning. Here it is shown that in learning we shall advance faster if our responses are not accompanied by annoyances and if we persist in our trials.
It is of great assistance in learning if we have two or more simultaneous reactions to a given stimulus, provided these reactions have some association. This is called "the association of ideas." When a child sees its first automobile and comes to associate the name with the carriage, as well as how he or she felt and what he or she saw on the ride. Later learning in this blog study that the word "automobile" comes from the two Latin words meaning "self" and "moving." It is of great assistance in learning to have in the mind as many associations as possible.
In this association method lies the secret of successful memorizing. The more associations we establish with a given idea, the more likely it is that one at least of these will come to mind when we wish to recall the original idea, and with this will come back to mind the idea itself. So when we wish to memorize anything we should build up associations. Take, for example the rule of capital letters in the title of a composition. Let the letter C of the word capital stand for conjunctions, A for articles, and P for prepositions. When you wish to recall the rule, it ought to come to mind: "In the title of a composition, capitalize all words except conjunctions, articles, and prepositions."
This leads us to consider the old-time method of learning. It was customary to receive a daily assignment of subject matter in a book, which was to be memorized and then recited from memory. The incentive of interest was missing. But its worst feature was the lack of any practical application of each lesson. As a result the pupil found later on that he could not apply his rules. Moreover, the chances were against his even recalling the rules. Had he begun, for example, by actually working out a practical problem such as measuring the area of a floor or Wall, and then deriving the rule from the experiment, the rule would be more permanently fixed, and he would know how to resolve similar problems.
Practical Applications
The Will To Learn. Now that we have outlined the process by which learning is accomplished, it will be well to make practical application of these ideas to the problem of study.
First of all must be answered the question: have you the will, the determination, to study? Without this motive power you will get nowhere.
Cultivating Concentration. Can you concentrate? Will-power may be a great aid to concentration, but if you haven't the ability to shut out from your mind whatever distracts the attention, you will be seriously handicapped in studying. However, if you are in earnest you can accomplish a great deal in cultivating concentration. Avoid the easy chair; sit at a table, with paper and pencil to make notes. An active pencil makes for an active mind.
Avoid Fatigue. Do not work too long at one time. Take time to think it over. An hour a day, provided there is some definite accomplishment, and also provided the work is continued regularly day by day, is better than longer sessions at less frequent intervals. Keeping consistently at your study is what counts.
Divide Your Time. Hold your interest by dividing your time between two subjects, as between grammar and vocabulary work. At first, however, it may be well to devote most of the time to mastering the tools of power and progress. This advice will be especially applicable if you have not had the advantage of school training in learning to use these tools.
