Of course, I think everyone can agree that grades do not improve due to lack of study, such as "not studying", "having very little time to study", or "not reviewing what you learned at school or cram school at all". Here, "Why are my grades not improving?" is an explanation for those who are studying but are not improving their grades despite their own efforts. Also, since I am a lecturer specializing in science and mathematics, please understand that the content I will talk about here is an explanation focusing on science and mathematics. 【Why?】 Grades don't improve! 】 1．“ It is a study method that only solves "problems that can be solved" This type tends to be more common among serious and hardworking students. I work a collection of problems on my own, but in fact, I feel like I am studying by solving only "problems that can be solved" and "problems that can be solved" in a notebook. We check for problems we don't understand, but we don't try to solve them "immediately." "Well, let's ask the teacher (of the school or cram school) if we don't understand "later"!", "Let's read the explanation of the problem book "later" and solve it!" I'll leave it as it is for the time being. As the neglect increases, I feel reluctant to ask more and more questions to the teacher, and it becomes troublesome to read the explanations and think carefully. I believe that by solving some (understandable, understandable) problems randomly, you will get the illusion that your studies are progressing and this study method will lead to improved grades. Therefore, taking the time to worry and think about problems that we do not understand makes us think that "I don't have enough time" or "I can't do this". As a result, there is a tendency to leave problems that we do not understand or are not good at forever. Studying is a process of trial and error in parts and units that you don't understand, and time to think about it by looking at the explanations and leading to improved grades, but I feel that the process is a waste of time. I get a sense of accomplishment by solving many problems that I understand. However, this study method only "specifies" the problems that can be done and the problems that cannot be done. When the question collection is finished until the end, we will start working on the next new problem collection without dealing with the unknown problems that we have "sorted". Also, I will only work on problems that I understand, and I will still postpone problems that I don't understand! In this way, all you have to do is repeat the "classification of problems that can be done and problems that cannot be done"! It is a study method that will continue forever. There is no progress at all because we do not start on problems that we do not understand. I just think, "I'm studying so hard..." Do you think about problems you don't understand over and over again through trial and error? If you know it, please try to revise it to a study method that thoroughly deals with the parts of the problem book that you do not understand. Studying to improve grades is not "the amount of study", but "how to study with good quality!" 2." I found a problem that I couldn't solve! It is a study method that is done with "mood" Next, you will deal with a problem that you do not understand, but you have a problem with how to deal with it. Do you ask your teacher (at school or cram school) about the problem you couldn't solve, or read the explanation and just say, "I understand!" In fact, a problem that stumbles once will not be established unless it is repeated three times, even if you think you understand it. ≪First time≫ Immediately after receiving guidance from a teacher or reading and understanding the explanation, can you solve it on your own without looking at the answer again? Let's find out. Even if you can solve it here, don't let your guard down! This is because there is a suspicion that it is solved by memory at this time. ≪Second time≫ After 3 days, try again. Can you solve the answer or the notebook when the teacher instructed you again without looking at anything? Please confirm. If you can't solve it or are in a troubled situation, your understanding of the problem has not yet taken root. Let's look at the answer again and understand it firmly. ≪Third time≫ After another 10 days, let's solve it again. Have you solved a problem that you could not solve or did not understand three times? Most of the students don't understand or have the teacher tell them the questions they made mistakes about, and they feel like they "understood" when they see the answers. This does not entrench understanding at all. "Sweet Study Method" somehow has an image of the solution, but unfortunately it does not lead to a perfect answer and does not lead to an exam score. It is important to have a steady study method that repeats and resolves over and over again. 3．“ Students who do not understand from the root "It is a study method on the upper side" In the first place, it is a student who does not understand "understanding". Understanding means "to understand the meaning and content of things logically (logically) correctly." ・Why is this so? What does this formula mean? ・What caused this phenomenon? ・In which direction should this problem be solved? ・How to assemble and lead to an answer? Those who do not accept logical thinking and are in the habit of studying to solve problems only with knowledge. If you have this study method, you will memorize the formulas well and memorize the knowledge accurately, so you can definitely solve the basic questions. [...]
