The Feyman Technique(费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist(物理学家) Richard Feynman. It's a study method that helps students learn by teaching others.
The Feyman Technique has been one of the most effective study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Plus, unlike traditional study methods like re-reading textbooks or reviewing notes. it pushes students to be more actively mvolved(参与) u n the learning process,
If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics(子主题). If not, you' ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.
Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader.
The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior(先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.
Once you' re confident you' ve learned the topic, it's time to give yourself-a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
① Pick a topic to learn. ② Improve the weak areas.
③ Explain it in simplest words. ④ Repeat the steps until you really learn it.
⑤ Find the"imperfect part" of your explanation.
