The benefits of class notes

1, class notes help to consolidate new knowledge.

As time goes by, what we remember will gradually be forgotten. Therefore, as primary school students, they will unconsciously remember many things, and most of the time they will remember things emotionally by interest. Although our teacher is studying teaching methods and learning methods. In every class, there is no guarantee that the class will be wonderful and attract all students. If students don't pay attention to the lecture, or just listen without taking notes, many things presented in class will be short-lived. The ancients said, "It is better to scribble than to have a good memory." Write your notes in the textbook, so that you can find them easily and lose them easily. By reading the class notes, students can recall the classroom scenes at that time, which is helpful to understand and master knowledge. At first, many students didn't take notes when I was experimenting in class. In order to let them know the importance of notes, I consciously design classroom assignments around notes. As a result, those students who don't listen carefully and take notes in class are at a loss. After several such trips, the students understood the teacher's intention, and they never dared to take it lightly in class and hold the pen at all times. Students can effectively strengthen their memory and consolidate new knowledge by sorting out and reading class notes. For example, when students read in the morning, the notes in the book will also be introduced. Gradually, those key points and key points in the text will be consciously or unconsciously memorized.

2. Class notes help to exercise students' language.

The process of taking notes is a complex thinking process from perception to association, analysis and synthesis, and then to word expression. The process of taking notes requires individuals to maintain appropriate internal psychological orientation, so as to operate knowledge information concretely. Due to the limited time and space, it is impossible for students to take notes in the book in class, write down the contents of the class one by one, or scribble them down, and finally they can't see clearly. This requires students to screen and refine important and valuable information while listening to teachers and classmates in class, that is, to think about how to record concisely and how to standardize and complete the answers during homework. After some time, I was surprised to find that many students used phrases or four words to summarize the main points. For example, when learning "teenagers", students can use words such as "active, energetic, brave and high morale" to summarize the characteristics of teenagers. Now the notes are concise and clean, instead of writing many books as before. Accumulate over time, not only enrich students' vocabulary, but also temper their written language expression ability.

3. Class notes help to improve students' sketching ability and check students' class efficiency.

For middle school students, hard pen writing has just started. In order to cultivate students' good writing habits, students are repeatedly asked to write slowly and not to panic. Therefore, many students' writing speed is too slow to meet the requirements. For example, in the Chinese final exam last semester, nearly one-third of the students in our class felt pressed for time when answering questions, and they didn't have time to read and think carefully. As a result, they lost the points they could have got. After discovering the problem, I thought: 40 minutes of reading class, most of the time is spent on reading, so in a limited time, can you record the main points of learning simultaneously? This is not only a test of whether students are listening to lectures, but also a test of students' writing speed. This semester, I began to plan to use class notes to improve students' writing speed and listening efficiency. At first, students who are usually absent-minded in class or slow in writing are particularly uncomfortable. They either lost their notes or couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the lecture, so I made it clear in class that no one was allowed to copy other people's notes. They are in a hurry, so they must concentrate on the class and write quickly. Nowadays, the most effective thing is that the writing speed of students in our class has improved a lot. First of all, all the students in the class can finish the test paper within the specified time, without worrying that the students can't finish the problem. On the other hand, students practice makes perfect. They find it interesting to take notes. They can take notes as quickly as a teacher at a meeting, and they have a sense of success. They no longer feel that taking notes is their burden.

4. Class notes help students develop good reading habits.

I think teachers must have the feeling that students are assigned to preview the text. If the teacher doesn't mention the specific requirements, the conscious student only reads the text a few times, and the unconscious student's homework is like a dummy to him. Even if the teacher asks for preview, the students' completion effect is not ideal without feedback check. This phenomenon stems from the fact that our students have not developed good reading habits. Many students have no purpose in reading, so they just read it once. As the saying goes, "Don't read without pen and ink." If students get into the habit of taking notes in class, they will start writing and drawing as soon as they pick up the book, always trying to leave something on the book. For example, some students in our class will draw and write from time to time while reading extracurricular books during lunch break, because they have experienced the happiness of "reading thick books and reading thin books". Over time, students gradually develop good reading habits and autonomous reading ability in the practice of Chinese classroom notes, which promotes students' development and is really conducive to improving students' Chinese literacy.

Second, the strategy of class notes

Notes mainly record thinking methods and key and difficult points in class. We have investigated the common methods of primary school students' classroom notes, and none of them are satisfactory. How to help students take class notes effectively? I usually use the following methods:

1, circle sketch

When previewing and reading the text for the first time, students are generally required to circle new words or four-word words with unified symbols, with square brackets indicating words and short horizontal lines indicating new words. Sketch beautiful sentences or key sentences in the text, and the commonly used symbols are ""line or ""line. And use "?" Draw sentences that you don't understand. Use the "~" line as the segmentation marker. In this way, students can not only achieve their goals as required, but also save time, and spend their main energy on familiarizing themselves with the text when previewing and reading the text for the first time.

2. Grasp the key words and make comments.

We encourage students to read the text in a personalized way, but students have too many feelings and sometimes their opinions are biased. How to take notes? Therefore, I hope that students will listen to and pay attention to teachers' feedback and comments on students, and teachers will summarize the key words in the language and write them next to the sketch sentences.

Teaching fragment

My father said, "My candied haws are dipped evenly, and the thinner you are, the more you can see kung fu. A bite makes people applaud. Sugar-Coated Berry dipped out is not afraid of cold, heat and tide. This is called eternal imprisonment. "

Teacher: What does "eternal prison" mean here?

Health 1: I think the "forever prison" here means that the sugar-coated haws are delicious.

Teacher: "Sugar-coated haws taste good". Where did you read it?

Health 1: "A bite makes people applaud" means that his candied haws are very popular and people still want to eat them. If it tastes bad, how can people clap?

Teacher: Please read your feelings.

(read aloud emotionally)

Teacher: Ah! After listening to your reading, the candied haws taste so good that my mouth is watering.

(Student laughs)

Teacher: Does "eternal prison" only mean good taste?

Student 2: "Sugar-coated haws are not afraid of cold, heat and tide", which means that the sugar-coated haws made by my father will not go bad for a long time. This is a permanent prison. "

Teacher: She said, "It won't break for a long time." What else can she say?

Health 3: In other words, the candied haws made by my father can keep good quality and freshness. This is the "eternal prison".

Health 4: My father's Sugar-Coated Berry is delicious, and it can keep good quality and freshness. In other words, his technology is very high, and his candied haws are of good quality, which seems to last forever. This is a permanent prison. "

Teacher: The students are really good at reading. They can grasp the key words in the article and realize that "eternal prison" means that the quality of Sugar-Coated Berry is very good.

In this teaching clip, students interpret "eternal prison" from several aspects, but it is not difficult to find that the ultimate goal is "good quality". So students only need to annotate the word "good quality" next to it.

3. Extract blackboard writing

In view of our primary school students' limited ability to take class notes at present, I often write down the key points of the text, students' classic feelings and information closely related to the text on the blackboard for students to extract from, and ask students to write synchronously with the teacher. For example, in the process of students' introduction, I wrote four letters to my hometown children on the edge of the topic (Ba Jin: formerly known as the representative torrent trilogy "Spring" and "Autumn"); Another example is learning the article "Little Pine Tree". Finally, the students realized that "only by growing taller can they see farther." In this sentence, I asked three students to write down their classic feelings on the blackboard: "Only by standing higher can we see farther." "But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by three hundred miles. ""Only by being proactive can we gain more. " It takes some time to write on the blackboard, so I usually write on the blackboard at the beginning or end of class, which is convenient for students to take notes without affecting the class. No matter which method is used, it is indispensable to help primary school students develop the habit of taking notes and improve their ability to take notes.

In short, the purpose of taking notes is to transfer knowledge. Therefore, when taking notes, we should take the brain as the coach, take thinking as the center, take understanding as the standard, focus on acquisition, and turn the knowledge from teachers and books into our own knowledge. Understand this truth and you will know how to make yourself take notes.

First, make clear the purpose of taking notes.

The purpose of taking notes is to transfer knowledge. Therefore, when taking notes, we should take the brain as the coach, take thinking as the center, take understanding as the standard, focus on acquisition, and turn the knowledge from teachers and books into our own knowledge. Understand this truth and you will know how to make yourself take notes.

Second, seize the opportunity to take notes.

The premise of taking notes is that listening and thinking cannot be affected, which requires students to grasp the opportunity when taking notes. There are three opportunities to take notes: first, when the teacher writes on the blackboard, he should seize the time to grab notes; Second, teachers should take time to take shorthand notes when teaching key content; Third, after class, you should take time to take notes as soon as possible.

Third, pay attention to the method of taking notes.

Five methods should be paid attention to in class notes: first, a concise and clear outline; Second, use phrases, numbers, charts, abbreviations or symbols for shorthand; Third, Chinese and English keywords and sentence patterns can be recorded directly on the edge of the page, which is easy to find when reviewing; Fourth, mathematics and physics mainly remember teachers' new ideas, supplementary definitions, theorems, formulas and examples; The fifth is politics, history and geography. It is enough to write down the teacher's comprehensive explanation of the problem.

Fourth, pay attention to the way of taking notes.

There are generally three ways to record class notes: first, write down the main points of what the teacher taught in his own language; Second, some important classical words, such as definitions, formulas, arguments, arguments, conclusions, concepts, time and place, must be accurately copied; The third is to write down the questions and doubts you don't understand, and study, think, check and ask questions after class.

Five, pay attention to the content of the notes.

Note-taking should pay attention to two tendencies: one is to take notes on everything like a stenographer; Second, just like watching a movie, I don't remember anything. The contents of notes generally include four contents: first, the key points, main points, difficulties and doubts spoken by the teacher; The second is the explanation, explanation, derivation and conclusion of basic theories and formulas; Third, basic viewpoints, arguments, arguments and some valuable data, facts and examples; Fourth, teachers' new views on some new problems and teachers' analytical ideas, methods and skills.

Sixth, distinguish between major institutions and secondary institutions.

When taking notes in class, the most important thing to remind and emphasize is to distinguish which are the main items and which are the secondary items. "Listening" and "thinking" are the main body, while taking notes is the secondary body. You must not "cram" or "cram", but make sure you understand it and remember it when you think.

Seven, don't just emphasize remembering "beauty"

Some students blindly pursue the "beauty" of class notes, concentrate on taking notes, and often ask students around them if they can't read a word or a sentence on the blackboard clearly. This not only loses the significance of taking notes, but also puts the cart before the horse in class.

Eight, timely supplement after class

Due to the tight class time, some of what the teacher said may have been missed at that time, so you should take the time to supplement it as soon as possible after class. It is best to rearrange and summarize the chaotic parts recorded in class, which is also an important link to deepen understanding and strengthen memory.

Nine, try to standardize notes.

Some students take notes casually, one today and one tomorrow; Or a piece of paper today and a piece of paper tomorrow. Finally, my notes were in a mess, and I looked around incompletely when reviewing. Note-taking should be as standardized as possible, with at least one article in each subject, which is convenient to use.

Don't copy other people's notes.

Some students are lazy. They don't want to take notes in class, so they copy other people's notes after class. This is a very bad study habit, which is not conducive to training your comprehensive induction ability. Do remember that you should write your own notes. The notes you make have learning effect and significance for yourself.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. A class lasts only 45 minutes, but the teacher has to talk so much. If you want to remember everything, you should prepare a notebook besides writing down the teacher's outline and key contents for future review. Many times, class notes have become a learning method, not just taking notes.

Research shows that students can usually take the test immediately after the lecture, and remember half of the lecture content in 10 minutes. If they take the test after 48 hours, they can only remember 20%. If we process the content of the lecture into classroom notes that are easy to understand and remember. It can just make up for the shortcomings that are easy to forget after listening. Therefore, it is very necessary to take notes.

So how do you make good class notes and improve your academic performance?

The first thing you should make clear is that you should concentrate on listening and understanding!

Class notes mainly include the following contents:

1, the outline listed by the teacher. You should know very well that you can't and don't need to write down the teacher's class notes word for word, so you just need to write down the outline listed by the teacher.

2. The key content emphasized by the teacher.

There is nothing in the textbook, but the teacher added it.

4, combined with the content of the teacher's lecture, you personally need to strengthen the knowledge points.

5. Remember the doubts. If you have any questions about what the teacher said in class, you should write them down in time. Such doubts may be caused by your own misunderstanding, or by the negligence of the teacher during the lecture. Remember to communicate with the teacher in time after class.

6. Remember the method. Remembering the problem-solving skills, ideas and methods taught by teachers is conducive to the cultivation of intelligence and problem-solving skills.

7. Make a summary. Pay attention to remember the teacher's after-class summary, which is very useful for condensing the content of a class, finding out the relationship between key points and parts, mastering basic concepts, formulas and theorems, and integrating classroom content.

The content of class notes should be concise, and it is best to have both views and materials; There are trunks and branches. Therefore, there are certain skills in the process of recording class notes:

1. Don't remember that it is too tight and dense. Leave about 1/3 blank space on the right side of each page for future supplement and modification.

2. Words should be concise and concentrated, and high-frequency words can be coded.

3, write fast, the handwriting does not have to be too high, just read it clearly.

4. Pay attention to the combination of listening and reading. Some contents can be directly annotated in the book.

5. Learn to use different colors of pens. If you have two pens, blue and red, you can use the blue pen to record. Important contents, such as concepts, formulas and theorems, are marked in red, so that you can think of them by looking at the outline in the future review.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine after recording, but you should know how to use it after taking notes in class:

1, set aside a period of time every day to recall the contents of the teacher's lecture in my mind, including every detail, but I really can't remember to read the class notes again. This is an effective learning method, which can slow down the forgetting of knowledge.

2. After class, you should organize your notes in combination with review: supplementing the missing parts in your notes will simplify the recovery of symbols, verify the key parts, and understand the parts you don't understand, so that your notes will be further organized and systematic.

3, often compare notes, recall the contents of the teacher's lectures, deepen understanding, enhance memory, and facilitate use.
