A tutorial on organizing error books, not all children need error books

The three major components of externalizing the framework learning method are mind maps, notes, and error books.

For example, imagine a knowledge system as a building, and the mind map is the corridors of the building, where are the stairs, where are the corridors, and what are the relationships between rooms.

Take notes to record specific knowledge about the decoration of each room. The error book marks where I missed or went wrong while exploring this building.

Next, we will address three issues in this video. First, explain the characteristics of the wrong question book, then what situations require a wrong question book, and finally, how to organize the wrong question book.

Error books have three main characteristics: differentiation, fluidity, and complexity. Differential error books are the only and completely personalized information among the three major components of framework learning externalization.

You can refer to other people’s mind maps and notes, but reading other people’s error books is meaningless.

Liquidity is about making mistakes and constantly changing. With the passage of time and the increasing mastery of the knowledge system, previous mistakes may have been fully mastered and need to be taken out of the mistake book for archiving.

At the same time, new mistakes will be added. Complexity refers to the process of organizing a list of incorrect questions.

Without reference, to remove, to organize, to copy questions, it takes at least twice as much time as simply doing one question.

So it is usually said that you need to brush the wrong questions three times, or you can say that if you don’t brush them more than three times, I’m sorry for the effort you put into organizing the wrong questions.

Due to the three major characteristics of error books, only a very small number of children need to organize them.

Middle school teachers usually don’t say that. They need to teach students how to organize their mistakes.

They may have a uniform requirement that every child should organize their own mistakes, but in fact, for the vast majority of children, the time spent on organizing mistakes is not cost-effective.

Parents must be clear about this: does your child only need to deal with the teacher completing homework or does he really need to sort out the wrong questions.

What is the standard. 90 points. That is to say, 90% of the child knows this subject, with only a slight loophole.

When a loophole appears, quickly jotting it down can improve efficiency. So you will find that many top students who share their learning methods will mention error notebooks, but ordinary children just can’t use them.

How should an ordinary child operate it. We discuss in categories. For children under 60 who have not yet learned, it is important to cultivate good study habits, memorize and practice.

Mistakes in questions are not your concern. Children who score 60-90 are actually the majority. Daily homework practice and exams generate a large number of incorrect questions, so it is not cost-effective to organize them into a mistake book.

Come up with a set of wrong question marking methods, just review them every once in a while. These students often do not understand a single category, section, or piece of knowledge, and are not tested on individual questions.

For children who score 90 or above, there are already not many mistakes, so the first thing to do is to use the mistake marking method to do a good job of marking, and then brush it again after a period of time.

Finally, only write down typical questions that are still incorrect or unclear after the second attempt in the error book.

Next, let’s talk specifically about how to organize error books. Parents need to have a complete concept in their minds.

Firstly, for the notebook, let’s choose this B5 sized loose leaf notebook. It must be loose leaf because of the nature of the error book.

mobility. Unused mistakes can be easily removed. Each incorrect question is divided into four parts, including the original question, incorrect answer, correct answer, and key points record.

At the beginning of organizing, you can buy this kind of specialized error prone loose leaf paper. In fact, it is not very easy to use.

After children become familiar with it, it will be more convenient for them to directly use white paper to separate columns.

Original question, either copy it down, cut it out, or scan and print it out. My child has just started learning to organize wrong questions, and I will help her scan and print them out using a wrong question printer.

Wrong answers do not necessarily have to be copied from the wrong answer book for every question. The purpose of copying is to more clearly mark where the mistake occurred at that time.

For example, in this question, if a child copied the wrong solution but did not indicate how they made the mistake at the time, it will increase the difficulty of future review.

Correct answer, take advantage of the opportunity to organize the error book to do the wrong questions again, do not copy the answers.

Record the key points next to the question. Identify the common mistakes or forgotten formulas in this question, and record the reasons for the mistake at the time.

It’s best to have emotions in your words here. What do you want to say to the person you wrote wrong back then and how do you want to scold them.

Write down. This kind of emotional recording makes it easier for people to recall their state when they made a mistake before.

Just mark the wrong questions in order, label them, and classify them properly. Finally, how to use the error book.

Of course, it’s used to brush three wrong questions. When organizing, redo the wrong questions, it’s a brush up.

Every month, take out and consolidate the previous mistakes, this is a second brush. If you make a mistake or don’t know how to use the second brush, remember to mark it properly.

Before the mid-term and final exams, take out all the wrong questions from this semester and brush them once again.

This is a triple brush. After three rounds of practice, do an action of archiving. For the questions that you have done correctly three times and feel that you have mastered the knowledge point, move them to the wrong question book and archive them in another notebook.

This step is very important. We need to ensure that the mistakes in the error book are fluid, with both incoming and outgoing questions, in order to focus on learning.

If there are too many questions and you are too lazy to brush it or don’t have time to brush it, then it will lose its value.

Don’t throw away the archived questions, and use them during the final review for the middle and high school entrance exams.

Organizing error books is also a skill, which is usually learned from junior high school and used more frequently in high school.

When making a wrong question book, the most taboo is formalism and self motivation. Just organize it without brushing it three times, remember to remember.

Did you organize your own mistakes when you were in school. Which subject requires more error books. Welcome to leave your experience in the comment section, let’s exchange ideas with each other.
