This is KO-HEI, an online cram school and mathematics and science instructor popular among junior high school students.
Today"Choosing a cram school for junior high school students"This is a story about.
In fact, junior high school students have to be the most careful about "how to choose a cram school", but they tend to be chosen somewhere, so I dare"Middle School Students"We will advise you on how to choose a cram school.
Most elementary school students choose a cram school based on the premise of "junior high school entrance examination", and they attend a major junior high school entrance examination cram school or a major standard cram school, and instruction is carried out according to the curriculum using the teaching materials of the major cram school.
The teaching materials are quite capable of acquiring thinking skills, and in extreme cases, as long as you get on the rails of cram schools, you can acquire and acquire a certain amount of thinking skills.
On the other hand, junior high school students' "cram school choice" is not like that.
The cram school for junior high school students isMost of them are community-based, and most of the cram schools are based on the classes of local junior high schools.That's why.
In the first place, the only yardstick to measure the academic ability of junior high school students is the report card, which emphasizes regular exams.
It is natural for both students and parents to have a good impression of cram schools that do a good job of preparing for "regular exams".
Therefore, I must be familiar with the information of the school I attend, and I am preparing for the regular exam of 〇〇 junior high school (the school I attend)! Fascinated by the signboard"Choose a cram school easily"It is a trend.
Of course, preparing for regular exams at school is the basis of studying.The question is whether the study method for preparing for the regular exam is really a learning that allows you to acquire the ability to think! It means.
I don't want you to misunderstand.
There are many wonderful cram schools that are community-based, and this does not deny "local cram schools".
I would like to tell you here"How to choose an easy cram school"What is
・It would be nice if you could prepare for the regular exam "for the time being".
・I just need to improve my grades "for the time being"
・You just need to develop a study habit "for the time being"
There is a problem with letting them go to cram school.
I am a lecturer specializing in science and mathematics, so I will mainly talk about mathematics.Junior high school mathematics has changed completely from elementary school arithmeticI will.
In other words, junior high school mathematics begins with learning the content of elementary school arithmetic into a formula."Whether or not you are learning after a solid understanding of the meaning of the formula"will have a great impact on future science and mathematics subjects.
If you explain it specifically,
Most students can solve calculation problems in the first-order equations learned in the first year of junior high school, but they struggle with "I can't solve sentence problems" and "I'm not good at sentence problems".
In addition, even in the simultaneous equations learned in the second year of junior high school, there are problems such as addition and subtraction and substitution, but most students will be able to calculate with some training.
However, when it comes to applied problems, it cannot be solved. Most of these application problems are "sentence problems".
What you meanI can do calculations that convert arithmetic into formulas, but I don't understand the meaning of mathematical formulas, so I can't stand it when it comes to "sentence problems" or "application problems".
Why does this phenomenon occur?
The reason isIt has become a study habit that does not understand the meaning of mathematical formulas and focuses only on mastering mathematical formulas (calculations)Because.
Such students have no image of the problem being asked.
Since I can't imagine the phenomenon of the problem in my head, I just try to solve it with the feeling that "I can solve it by putting something I don't understand with X".
What does that answer mean? I don't know, so even if it is an impossible number, I will fill in the answer field.
What you meanThere is a problem with manual mathematics study methods that do not require thinking at all and are just calculation exercises.It is.
Furthermore, if studying by hand becomes a habit,"Just guess it officially" syndromeIt takes you unknowingly.
For example, it is a function for the first and second grades of junior high school.
What does the graph of Y=aX b, Y=aX2 mean?
I don't understand it at all, and I feel like "the function can be assigned to this formula for the time being", and calculate and solve the values of a, b, and X again.
"Functions are easy!" and I feel like I was able to do it at a level that was just a calculation exercise.
You may be able to pass the regular junior high school exam, but you can't answer it in the high school entrance exam.
On the contrary, after entering high school, you may not be able to understand the content of High School Mathematics 1A, and mathematics may become more severe than a series of symbols.
On the other hand, students who have been studying for junior high school entrance exams in elementary school arithmetic have all kinds of 〇〇 arithmetic such as "tsukame arithmetic", "excess and deficiency arithmetic", "equivalent arithmetic", and "elimination arithmetic".X of the equation learned in junior high school mathematics,I have learned by replacing Y with "apple" and "tangerine" and embodying it.
I don't use mathematical formulas at all, and I imagine apples and tangerines in my head and solve them.
There are pros and cons to taking the junior high school entrance exam, but at least you can say that you understand the meaning of the mathematical formulas you learn in junior high school mathematics to some extent when you enter junior high school.
Students who understand the meaning of mathematical formulas and students who do not will have a big difference in future application and sentence problems.This is a natural result.
"The most important thing for me to choose a junior high school cram school is"This is because it is necessary to teach the meaning of mathematical formulas in junior high school, which is the beginning of mathematics, and receive guidance that allows you to embody the problems being asked in your head.
However, cram schools for junior high school studentsThe purpose is to increase favorability by "improving the results of regular exams"It tends to be a study method whose purpose is to "get as many points as possible" by being distracted only by students' "regular exam preparation".
Of course, it is understandable that students are also limited in time because they are exhausted after club activities, but they only looked at the results of the exam and said, "This is how you solve it" and "You can solve it this way"If teaching only solving techniques becomes a habit, you will definitely not be able to do math.
If students receive only this kind of guidance, they will unconsciously say, "I don't understand the meaning, but if I do this, I can solve it" or "If I do this, my score will increase," and makeshift study will become commonplace.
If it is a regular exam, you can still get a certain score and pass it somehow, but this will have a big impact on the high school entrance exam in three years and the high school mathematics after that.
Furthermore,We believe that this common manual learning is "studying" and we do not understand what it means to think.
The instructor often says, "Let's think more and study,"In fact, students who have become accustomed to manual learning do not understand "thinking" itself.
Even if you teach "thinking mathematics" to students who have been far away from "thinking" learning so far, they will not be interested in it, and they will only feel tired and move away from "mathematics".
I try to settle on "I'm not good at math, so I hope I can clear it somehow" and "Choosing a school without math".
If you make it a habit to study only solving techniques, you won't be able to get into that habit.
Because you can get a certain number of points by hand without thinking, the person himself will have strange confidence that "this is good" or "this will get a score" and will not try to improve.
However, most of the high school mathematics students start to lament that they don't understand math or can't do math, but by then it's too late!
I can't throw away the habits and habits I acquired during the third year of junior high school, and as mentioned above, I fall into a phenomenon where I don't even know what it means to think in the first place.
That's about itStudy methods that stick to solution techniques damage science and mathematicsIt is.
Junior high school mathematics is the starting line of mathematics.
Don't make a mistake in the direction hereReceiving study guidance that allows you to acquire the ability to think well will affect your university entrance exams.
certainlyPlease do not "choose an easy cram school" and carefully choose a cram school that you are satisfied with.
The cram school I attend is not just a cram school that emphasizes solving techniques and calculation practice, but a firmFrom the meaning of the mathematical formula, "Why is this happening?" Firmly see through whether or not the cram school will provide guidance from the rootI explained that it affects not only junior high school mathematics but also high school mathematics.
