Click on the blue text above to follow our child’s learning, which is influenced by both intellectual and non intellectual factors (including environmental factors).
Intellectual factors are the foundation for determining academic performance and are innate; When science proves that the intelligence factors of most children are not significantly different, non intelligence factors become crucial.
According to statistical data, for the vast majority of children, the quality of their learning is 20% related to intellectual factors and 80% related to non intellectual factors.
It can be seen that non intellectual factors are quite important. The Fang Zhongyong written by Wang Anshi is a clear counterexample.
Today, from the perspective of non intellectual factors in education, we will explore how educators can give children encouragement, boost their motivation to learn, and guide them towards the right path in life.
Learn to appreciate children, enhance their learning pleasure, and cultivate direct interest. Every child has their shining points, and their little efforts are worth seeing.
When a child completes a difficult problem or writes a good article, even if it’s just finishing their homework on time, our affirmation or encouraging look can make them feel happy and recognized for their efforts, thereby enhancing the pleasure of learning and cultivating a direct interest in learning.
This interest, like a small flame, will burn stronger and stronger in children’s hearts. Respecting children’s interests is crucial.
Children are not learning machines, they have their own preferences and ideas. Parents can give their children more free and relaxed space to explore what they love.
Perhaps if children enjoy painting, then provide them with brushes and paper; If you like music, support them in learning musical instruments.
Starting from the child’s interests, cleverly associate them with learning. For example, children who enjoy historical stories can be guided to read relevant history books to broaden their knowledge.
In this way, children will find that learning is not boring, but full of fun and surprises. Regularly draw ‘big cakes’ for children and guide them to set ambitious goals.
Regularly drawing ‘big cakes’ for children is not just empty talk, but to give them ideals, dreams, clear goals and directions.
When children know why they are learning and what is waiting for them in the distance, they will be more motivated to move forward.
Whether it’s becoming a scientist exploring the unknown or a doctor saving lives and helping the wounded.
These ambitious goals will inspire children to constantly strive and overcome difficulties on the path of learning.
When children are young, some of their dreams are short-lived and even seem unrealistic to adults. As long as they come up with something, they should not be denied, it is worth encouraging.
Guide children to scientifically arrange their study time. If children are in a tense learning state for a long time, they will be exhausted both physically and mentally, and their enthusiasm for learning will gradually fade away.
So, parents should guide their children to discuss and develop a scientific study plan together. After studying for a period of time, let them relax.
You can take a walk downstairs or play games with your friends for a while. The combination of work and rest can ensure learning effectiveness and keep children fresh and enthusiastic about learning at all times.
Improving children’s sense of achievement is a booster to stimulate their learning motivation. We should give timely recognition and encouragement to children who make even small progress in their studies.
This sense of achievement will make children taste the sweetness of success, and thus crave for the next victory, actively engage in learning, and form a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement.
Teach children to have a grateful heart. Let children understand that the efforts of their parents and the care of society are hard-earned.
Only by being grateful can children understand how to repay, transform gratitude into inner strength for learning, work harder to improve themselves, strive to live up to this love, and repay their parents and society in the future.
Mr. Qian Zhiliang said that the future society is not a competition of knowledge, but a competition of non intellectual factors.
It can be seen that enhancing non intellectual factors and stimulating children’s learning motivation are the core of education.
In education, we should use love and wisdom to discover children’s shining points, respect their interests, guide them to set goals, guide them to arrange their time reasonably, enhance their sense of achievement, and cultivate their gratitude.
Only when a child’s inner learning motivation is strong can they move towards self-discipline, self-reliance, and self-learning, and cultivate those “invisible learning abilities” such as interests, motivation, attitudes, strategies, habits, willpower, creativity, etc.
END’s previous recommendation for education is that when communicating with children, adults need to prepare themselves first.
To learn well, they need to let children calm down first. Education is to face conflicts with children and strive to improve grades in the last two weeks of the semester.
Education is to strengthen experiential learning and activate situational memory.
