各位老师、同学:
美国哈佛大学心理学教授加德纳提出了“ 多元智力”的概念,它挑战了传统的“ 智力”定义。由此可见,学业上的成功应该是多元智能共同作用的结果,而且非智力因素对学业成功起着举足轻重的作用。
以下是马里兰大学心理咨询中心有关如何在学业上获得成功的一些小贴士,希望能够对你有所启发。
QUESTION: Which of the following is most related to academic success?
a) high intelligence
b) time management skills
c) assertiveness
d) studying with other students
If you answered (b), (c), or (d) you are more apt to be correct than if you answered (a). Research on high achievers indicates that it is not necessarily the most intelligent students who perform the best academically. What appears to be far more important is knowing how to make the most of the abilities you have, and knowing how to work and manage the academic system.
A recent Reader's Digest article highlights some of the "secrets" of straight-A students as demonstrated in educational research. Not surprisingly, 4 out of 10 of these "secrets" concern effective TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS:
1.set priorities
2.schedule your time
3.get organized
4.study anywhere or everywhere
Also to be expected, 3 "secrets" involve improving or implementing BASIC STUDY SKILLS:
5.improve your reading
6.take good notes
7.quiz yourself
Making CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU is another theme revealed in the "secrets" of high achievers:
8.speak up in and out of class
9.form study groups
Another general "secret" is the notion of practice, practice, practice.
What is clear from this list of "secrets" is that they really aren't secrets at all. These ideas are basic, accessible-to-all skills and habits that most of us know about. The trick, of course, is putting them into practice. Achievers--those who succeed academically--are masters at putting these simple formulas into practice.
