学会如何学习：帮助你掌握复杂学科的强大智力工具（Learning How to Learn） from Coursera

What's inside

Syllabus

什么是学习？

尽管活体大脑相当复杂，但此单元将利用隐喻与类比帮助简化内容。你将发现几个完全不同的思维模式，并了解能怎样利用这些模式改进自己的学习。你还将接触到一项治疗拖延症的工具，获得一些有关记忆的实用信息，并意外地挖掘到一些有关学习与睡眠的实用见解。如果你希望作好更充分的准备，那么可以选读《数字思维》（非必修内容，但却是此MOOC的基础教材）。该书也已有华语简体版《学习之道》和华语繁体版《用對腦，從此不再怕數字：學會如何學習，以如何創意思考，解決(幾乎)所有的問題》，还将推出更多外语版本，敬请期待。这本书让你有机会巩固在本课程中学到的学习方法，你可以在空白处作笔记或以电子笔记的形式帮助进一步推动思维的“组块化”。

组块

本单元中我们将探讨组块这一概念。组块指你的大脑可轻松获得的一个紧密的信息包。我们将探讨你能怎样形成组块、怎样利用组块提升自己对学习内容的理解力与创造力以及组块能怎样帮助你在测验时表现更好。我们还将探索学习时的能力错觉、过度学习的挑战以及交叉学习的优势。

拖延症与记忆

本单元我们将探讨两个有紧密联系的概念，即拖延症与记忆。在长期记忆里创建牢固的组块（短时记忆里可轻松获得的组块）比较耗时。因此学习应对拖延症相当重要。最后我们将探讨一些最佳的、进入你大脑中最强大长期记忆系统的方法。

复兴式学习与释放你的潜力

本单元我们将更多地探讨提升学习能力的重要理念与技巧。你还将了解怎样与其他学员更有效地互动、怎样认识到自己的优势、怎样避免“冒充者综合征”。战斗机飞行员与外科医生利用清单来帮助自己理清重要的任务，你也可使用类似的清单帮助自己备战测验。最后你还将更多地了解在学习中充实自我的乐趣。
