Do you ever feel like you are running from one activity to another, or studying one subject after another at a mad rush? When things happen at such a fast pace(节奏), you will easily fail to notice what you are doing, or what you are learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. This is called self-reflection (自我反思).
There are mainly two forms of self-reflection. Some people prefer to do their self-reflection in their minds, while others keep written notes. Whether the reflection is done in mind or on paper, either of them can work.
School textbooks are often divided into units. It is a good choice for a student to get started a self-reflection. When one unit is over, there are always some kinds of tests. You can use these natural breaks as chances to stop and reflect. Find a quiet place. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out a piece of paper or your reflection notebook. Just take down the important points but not everything. Let your mind think over the notes you have written and make some connections.
Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can be quickly recalled(回想起) when you need it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder. For example, maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to continue looking for answers the next time you come across the same topic.
Self-reflection is an essential skill for a better student. If you have never taken time to reflect, try it now.
