How to instill knowledge to a child who has grown up with a phone in his hands? Try micro -learning

There is an incredibly many developmental classes for preschoolers today, but it is not so simple to put the children who have already mastered the smartphone: they lack perseverance. Microsing will help to cope with this problem. Neuropsychologist Polina Kharina talks about the new trend.

Children under 4 years old still cannot keep attention for a long time on one. Especially when it comes to a learning task, and not about a fun game. And even more it is difficult to educate perseverance today, when children literally from the first year of life use gadgets. Microsing helps to cope with this problem.

This way to master the new is one of the trends of modern education. Its essence is that children and adults receive knowledge in small portions. Promotion to the goal of short steps – from simple to complex – allows you to avoid overload and solve complex problems in parts. Micro -study is built on three basic principles:

• short but regular classes;
• daily repetition of the material passed;
• The gradual complication of the material.

Classes with preschool children should not last longer than 20 minutes, and micro -learning is just designed for short lessons. And parents are not difficult for parents to devote 15-20 minutes a day to children.

How micro -training works

In practice, the process looks like this: for example, you want to teach a one -year -old child to string beads on a lace. Divide the task into stages: first you string the bead and invite the child to remove it, then – suggest string it yourself, and finally learn to seize the bead and advance on the cord so that you can add one more. Of these short sequential lessons, micro -training consists.

We will figure out the example of a game of puzzles, where the goal is to teach a preschooler to use different strategies. When I propose to collect the puzzle for the first time, it is difficult for a child to connect all the details at once to get a picture, because he has no experience and knowledge. The result is a situation of failure, a decrease in motivation, and then the loss of interest in this game.

Therefore, first I collect the puzzle myself and divide the task into stages.

First stage. We consider the image and describe it and describe it, pay attention to 2-3 specific details. Then we find them among others and put them in the right place in the panel picture. If it is difficult for a child, I propose to pay attention to the shape of the part (it is large or small).

Second phase. When the child copes with the first task, in the next lesson I choose the same from all the details as the last time, and turn them over. Then I ask the child to put each part in the desired place in the picture. If it is difficult for him, I pay attention to the shape of the part and ask if he holds it correctly or needs to turn it over.

The third stage. Gradually increase the number of details. Next, you can teach the child to collect puzzles on your own, without a picture-subscription. First, we teach to fold the frame, then the middle. Or first collect a specific image in the puzzle, and then connect CQNT together, focusing on the scheme.

Thus, the child, mastering each stage, learns to use different tricks and his skill is already passing into the ability, which is fixed for a long time. This format can be used in all games. Studying in small steps, the child will master the entire skill entirely.

What are the pluses of micro -teaching?

1. The child does not have time to get bored. In the format of short lessons, children learn more easily and those skills that they do not want to learn. For example, if a

   Humide – cela signifie satisfait. Si vous avez lancé votre main, et qu’il craque, comme le linge de lit de la fraîcheur glaciale mythe. Félicitations, la fille n’est pas à l’état. Donc, vous vous êtes avéré quelque part sur la bonne voie, mon soldat courageux. Chercher. Interroger. Embrasser la clavicule. Mais n’essayez pas de capturer le sucre.

   child does not like to cut out and you suggest him to complete a short task every day, where you need to cut out only one element or make a couple of incisions, then he will learn this skill gradually, imperceptibly for himself.

2. Study “a little bit” helps the child get used to the fact that classes are part of life. If you are engaged every day at a certain time, the child perceives microurors as part of the usual schedule and gets used to studying from an early age.
3. This approach teaches concentration, because the child is completely focused on the process, he has no time to be distracted. But at the same time, he does not have time to get tired.
4. Micro -learning facilitates the consolidation of the passed. Our brain is arranged so that an hour after the classes end, we forget 60% of the information, after 10 hours 35% of the studied remains in the memory. According to the Abbinghaus forgetting curve, in just 1 month we forget 80% of the acquired material. If you systematically repeat the passed, then the material from short -term memory goes into long -term.
5. Micro -training implies systematicity: the learning process is not interrupted, the child gradually, day after day, moves to a certain large goal (for example, learns to cut or paint). Ideally, if classes go every day at the same time. This format is perfect for children with various developmental delays. The material is supplied with dosed, is worked out to automatism, and then complicated. This allows you to fix the material.

Where and how to study

Today, we have at our disposal many different online courses and mobile applications that are based on the principles of micro-learning, for example, popular applications for the study of English Duolingo or Skyeng. Lessons are presented in infographics, short videos, tests and cards.

Japanese Kumon notebooks are also based on the principles of micro -learning. The tasks in them are located from simple to complex: first, the child learns to make cuts along straight lines, then on broken, wavy lines and spirals, at the end he cuts out figures and paper objects. The construction of tasks thus helps the child always successfully cope with them, which motivates and develops confidence in his own abilities. In addition, the tasks are simple and understandable to young children, which means that the child can do it on his own.
