Theme 10 : The methods of acceleration in selfstudying
I. Stages of work and methods of gaining knowledge.
The first stage. Acquaintance and recognition. Passive knowledge and planned gaps as the
essential condition for speedy transfer to the second stage.
The second stage. Initial motoric skills. Series of movements with numerous lapses, slow tempo.
The third stage. Passage motorics. Lapses occur but seldom. Fragmentary misunderstandings.
The fourth stage. Simultaneous reading and understanding. Understanding lags behind with the
greater speed of reading.
The fifth stage. Practical usage of the language, The requirement of complete understanding.The causes of slow-down:
- lack of stage-division;
- claims are put too high;
- lack of long-lasting immersion into the material;
- necessity for making breaks to refresh relations;
- neglect for the intentional acceleration.II. Emotional factor and acceleration.
1. Delight of cognition and delight of recognition.
2. Gaining of tactical goals intentionally put low and acceleration.
3. The sense of completed dialectical circuit: "a click."
4. The emotional factor and a correct unit of time and progress measurements. (Time: in actually
spent hours; progress: not in the units of the assimilated, but in the units of the comprehended).
5. The choice of a fancied leader, the sense of true competitive sporting atmosphere in small
social groups.
6. Acute sense of wasted time (the definition: time not spent on extremely tense perception or
creative thinking, shall be considered wasted).
7. The sense of deep inner profound peace and concentration of attention with the actualized
interest as the criterion of evaluating the time lived through in a right way.
8. Interchanging of requirements as dependent on actual opportunities - the principle of "inactivity"
(non-dealing).
9. Daily routine problems and total enthusiasm (connection with the autodidact's global plan and
realization of the dream).
10. Claim-level and relations with the environment. "Turn a deaf ear to all kinds of hintings"
(N. Hogol). Growing differences in assessments; axiological gap in future shall be normal; to
protect oneself against anxieties and obstacles it is useful to fancy the aim already gained or
imagine oneself in remote future, etc.
11. Sense of amazement and heuristic abilities, feeling of discovery and tamed uneasiness.
12. Aggression of thought, winning of space by thought and wide interests. Analysis of distant
associations as the method of making thought acute.
13. Involvement and evolution of individual thinking.
14. "The serious is a funny thing indeed!"
15. Polyphony of studies and interests; frequency of shiftings ("It's better too often, than not often
enough.")
16. Connection between the mood and satisfaction with the day lived through.
17. Development of enthusiasm and sense of festivity ("The study room inside ourselves").
18. Search for one's one talent, comprehension of one's gifts and strategic plan-making for their
development as the psychic foothold; the sense of one's mission and calling; the accidental
and determined; astral patronage (exposition of mysticism!)
19. Psychic relaxation on the background of great creative activity and peripheral acquisition of
instrumental knowledge as the condition of acceleration:
a) Homo skribens; it is important to record feelings and experiences for introspection;
b) oral method and writing: multifunctional consultations before making notes (presenting one's
viewpoints, observations, good definitions, impressions, etc.).
20. Usage of common sense and acceleration. The rule: Become aware - after that abandon
reflection!
21. Maximum amount in one sitting. The rule: As much as possible in one gulp.
22. Nulla dies sine linea.
23. Increase of strategic claim-level as connected with growing abilities and informativeness.
24. System of admissions as mistakes one is aware of and speed of studying; opposition of vectors:
"honesty" - "don't remember exactly"; combination of different methods of work.* * *
| We like Montaigne are guided by example to our worse errors and to guiltness too. We are the trampers treading on a woe and for us living space is not too ample. We out of the Whole love this narrow sample and real steps out of an illusion grow. Our memory reverses rain: it’s snow, on which are better seen the prints of temple, that is an instance consecrated, holy, without which all of us can not be wholly. But system of the lines becomes a spot, when you don't hear the strings that bound a body and with the outline cries and smiles so bloody, so inspirationally, free and hot. |
