國際課程如何高效復習?

在學習中，不僅僅要學習學科內容，而且要學會如何學習，特別是復習環節，時間和方法都很重要。在地理學習課堂，Miss Dobson老師給同學們介紹了多種行之有效的復習方法。這些方法同樣適用于其他科目。?

Learning is not just what to learn, but also how to learn, particularly in revision, both time and methods are very important. During Geography classes, Miss Dobson instructed various and effective ways on how to revise, which are for use in all subjects.

首先，通過問題探究，引導學生意識到復習的重要性和有效性，了解復習的時間節點和頻次，從而學習如何進行有效復習。參看以下問題：

--- 什么時候開始復習？

--- 為什么要復習？

--- 如何復習？

--- 復習真的有幫助嗎？

Firstly, question-oriented to guide the students to be aware of the importance and necessity of revision, to get better understanding of timing and frequencies of revision, so as to be well prepared to learn how to revise effectively. Refer to the following questions:

--- When should you revise?

--- Why do we need revise?

--- How should you revise?

--- Does revision actually help?

在如何復習方面，Miss Dobson老師介紹了以下復習方法：

The following methods are introduced by Miss Dobson on how to revise.

1. 閃卡?Flash Cards

利用閃卡整理知識點，在卡片一面寫出問題，另一面寫出答案。這個方法特別適合學習新的術語，在卡片一面寫上學科術語詞匯，另一面寫出術語的定義。如下圖：

Have the information you want to revise to hand. On one side of the flashcard write a question to ask about the information. On the other side write the answer. They are a good way to learn the meaning of new terminology. Put a word on one side and the definition on the other.?See example below.

2.?思維導圖 Mind Map

利用思維導圖整理知識點。以主題詞為中心，通過關鍵詞、信息內容和圖片延伸，幫助你記憶相關知識點。

特別提示：切勿堆積大量信息。如下圖：

Have the information you want to revise to hand. Put the central topic in the center of your mind map. Create branches with key words, information and pictures to help you remember key themes.

Tip: Don’t try to include loads of information. See example below.

3. 相互提問?Teach each other

整理知識點，將相關信息轉化為關鍵詞和圖片。然后去除信息，用圖片和關鍵詞向他人講解自己所學內容。

Have the information you want to revise to hand. Turn your information into pictures and keywords ONLY. Then remove the information and use the pictures and keywords to teach someone about what you have just learnt.

4. 歷年真題?Past paper

如何使用歷年真題？針對IGCSE和A-level考試，你可以從考試官網下載歷年真題。利用其中一個復習方法復習知識點，然后做考試真題。參考評分標準了解自己作答的正確度，進而提高答題質量。

How to use the past paper questions? At IGCSE and A-level you can get past papers from the exam board website. Use one of the other techniques to learn the information first. Then try and do a past paper question. Use the mark scheme to see what you got correct. Then try to improve your answer.

來自Miss Dobson老師的溫馨提示，以下誤區莫入：

There are three DON’Ts kindly reminded by Miss Dobson:

1. 單一看書復習Just reading

在復習時，請勿只是單一地看書。有的學生花了很長時間看書復習，但是記住很少，甚至不到20%。希望能采取上述復習方法，讓大腦積極思考起來。

Don’t just reading during revision. Some students spent more time in reading as a way to revise, but memorize less, even less than 20%. It is advisable to take the above revision methods so as to drive the brain think actively instead of passively.

2. 長時間復習 Long-hour revision

請勿長時間復習。在做復習時間安排時，建議把時間切分為小段，例如20分鐘一個知識點，休息5至10分鐘，讓大腦得以很好地反思，吸收相關內容，然后再進入下一個20分鐘的知識點復習，再安排5-10分鐘休息做反思吸收，而不是持續1個小時，讓大腦打疲勞戰，無暇反思和積極思考。

Don’t take a long hour revision. When doing the revision schedule, it is recommended to divide the time into chunks, such as 20 minutes for the information to hand, followed by a break of 5 to 10 minutes so that the brain could get time to reflect what has just revised and well absorb relevant content, and then moving to the next 20 minutes of review section, and then another of 5-10 minutes break to do reflection and absorption, instead of lasting for 1 hour, let the brain fight fatigue, get no time for reflection and active thinking.

3. 復制粘貼 Just copy and paste

請勿對查閱內容只做簡單的復制粘貼。應該對閱讀過的內容進行提煉和總結，重新表述，從而更好地把握關鍵詞和主要內容。

Don’t just copy and paste. Rewrite what have read so as to achieve better understanding of key words and topics.
