二 thoughts

知识与技能的区别

传统的方法是先找出关于正确方法的信息，然后让学生运用那些信息。刻意练习则只聚集于绩效和表现，以及怎样提高绩效和表现。

就拿我们的高等教育举例，大部分的课时都像中学时期一样，坐在教室里，听老师讲着枯燥的理论。最令人费解的是，许多偏重应用的学科都没有多少实践学识。大家肯定会质疑：我们大三大四不是有很多实习吗？可这并不是刻意练习，刻意练习推崇的是在学习理论后能立马有模拟的方式进行练习并且得到练习的反馈。并且现在那些称为实践学时或实习其实更多的是做一些琐碎的后勤工作，并没有做到有目的的练习。

就像我的专业，声称有三分之一的学时，好多课都是由理论学识和实践学时构成。比如说一门课在前两个月上理论，后两个月的课去一些地方实习。可这有一些问题：首先理论和实践的相隔跨度太大，不符合刻意练习的及时反馈的特点；其次，实习多是一些见习，也就是只能看，很少有动手的机会。
