8.24 Day 18 Peak: C9 Where Do We Go From Here?

PART 1: Thoughts & Summary

How do students learn best？

1. Begin by identifying what students should learn how to do.

2. The objectives should be skills, not knowledge. 

3. Help students develop mental representations: out of their comfort zone;plenty of repetition and feedback.

Chapter 9 is the last last part of PEAK. So the author emphasizes again that how deliberate practice can help people develop their skills and its potential benefits in many fields. For instance, Education is a typical example of deliberate practice that could revolutionize how people learn.

最后一章作者重申了刻意练习的重要性和作用，刻意练习可以应用在每个领域并创造全新的世界。影响力比较广泛之一的就是教师，如果老师能在教学过程中融合刻意练习的方法，使学生了解明白并加以应用，创建有效的心理表征，让学生们了解成功不仅是要花时间，还需要高质量的学习，对他们未来的自我学习和提高将有极大帮助。我们也可以通过坚持刻意练习创造我们自己的新世界，不断学习精进自我技能，而不是茫然前行。
