對於學渣和學霸的區別,
很多人往往存在一些思維定勢:
學霸的智商甩我們幾條街...
學霸的智力將我們碾成渣渣...
學霸就是天生IQ指數爆表...
可是,真的是這樣麼?
學渣就是智商堪憂?學霸就是智商逆天?
今天,給大家分享一段精彩的TED演講
The key to success? Grit
告訴你學渣和學霸真正的差距究竟是什麼。
溫馨提示:
沒流量的同學,翻到下面看全文(更多內容)
演講嘉賓安吉拉·李·杜克沃斯(Angela Lee Duckworth)是一位華裔研究心理學家,她在27歲時辭去了紐約一份前途無量的工作—企業管理諮詢師,選擇到一所公立學校教七年級學生數學。
在教學的過程中,她意識到:
IQ並不是將那些成功的學生和那些掙扎過但失敗的學生區分開來的唯一標準。
在演講中,她解釋了她自己的理論——成功的先兆是」毅力」!
下面為大家選取了演講原文的精彩內容,希望你們會有收穫!
The key to success? Grit
成功的鑰匙?毅力
Angela Lee Duckworth
What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students.Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren&39;re hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these concepts are not impossible, and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.
這引發了我的思考。七年級數學要學的東西確實挺難:比例、小數、平行四邊形的面積。但這些概念並不是不能理解,我也堅信我的每一位學生都能學會這些知識, 只要他們足夠認真、堅持用功。
After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is I.Q., but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?
教了幾年以後,我得出一個結論:我們的教育所需要的是一種對學生、對學習更好的理解——從動機的角度、從心理的角度去理解。在教育領域,我們最擅長測試的指標是智商,但如果說在學校和生活中的表現好壞不僅僅取決於你是否能又好又快地學習呢?
So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings,and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy.
於是,我離開了課堂,來到了研究所,成為了一名心理學家。我開始研究兒童與成人處於各種艱巨挑戰中的表現。在每次研究中,我關注的是: 誰會成功?為什麼會成功? 我和我的研究團隊去了西點軍校。
We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition.
我們試著預測哪些學員能通過軍事訓練,哪些會放棄。我們去看全國拼字比賽, 試著預測哪些孩子能在比賽中笑到最後。
We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students?
我們研究在非常艱苦的環境下工作的新教師,預測哪些教師在學年末時還能堅持在崗位上。當然還有,哪些教師教出的學生成績的提高最為顯著?
We partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who&39;t social intelligence. It wasn&39;t I.Q. It was grit.
我們和私人公司合作, 預測哪些銷售人員能保住工作?誰能賺最多錢? 在這些非常不同的背景下, 我們發現有一個特質能夠很好地預測成功。它不是社交能力,不是美麗的外貌,不是健康的身體,也不是智商,而是意志力。
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it&39;s not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters. It&34;How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?&39;t know.
所以意志力並不只是在西點軍校或全國拼字比賽中非常重要。在學校,尤其是對有輟學危險的孩子來說,意志力同樣重要。關於意志力,最令我吃驚的事情是我們以及科學界對於如何鍛鍊意志力知之甚少。每天,家長和老師都會問我, &39;t make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent.
我所知道的是,有才華不意味著就有意志力。我們的資料非常清楚地揭示有很多才華橫溢的人並不能堅持到底,實現承諾。事實上,我們的研究發現,意志力通常與才華無關, 有時甚至成反比。
So far, the best idea I&34;growth mindset.&39;re much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don&39;s where I&39;s where we are. That&39;ve been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
所以,成長型思維模式是一種鍛鍊意志力的好方法。但我們還需要更多這樣的理念。而今天我的演講就到此為止, 因為這就是我們當下的認知。這就是擺在我們面前的任務。我們需要拿出我們最好的想法、最強的直覺對他們進行檢驗。我們需要衡量我們是否取得了成功,我們必須願意失敗、願意犯錯、願意吸取教訓並從頭開始。
In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.
換句話說,在加強我們孩子意志力這件事上, 我們自己也要有不懈的意志。
在以上精彩的闡述中,
我們會發現一個非常重要的詞:
它是席捲美國教育界的一種全新的教育理念,
那就是Grit。
Grit一詞在古英語中的原義是沙礫,即沙堆中堅硬耐磨的顆粒。
在這裡,Grit可譯為「堅毅、毅力」,正如安吉拉·杜克沃斯(Angela Duckworth)在演講中所說:
Grit是對長期目標的持續激情及持久耐力,即便歷經失敗,依然能夠不忘初衷,專注投入、堅持不懈地努力下去,是一種包涵了自我激勵、自我約束和自我調整的性格特徵。
如果你見一個人&34;,這就是Grit。
如今,Grit已開啟了性格教育時代,美國的很多學校都在修改和引進新的課程,更加注重性格教育。因為塑造堅毅的品格,將有助於學生將來在任何領域獲得成功。
而這也給了我們極大的反思:
教育中最重要部分是什麼呢?
是正確答案?智力開發?不輸在起跑線上?
或許一句老掉牙的格言能給我們啟發——失敗是成功之母,不是要跑多快才夠好,而是在摔倒之後站起來繼續跑,哪怕是最後一名也堅持下去,這才是教育真正應該教會所有人的東西。
關於學渣和學霸的真正差距,並非智力高低之別。而在面對挑戰和冒險時,選擇迎難而上,從一而終的人往往更能獲得成功。
最後,送給大家一段來自Gala樂隊《追夢赤子心》的歌詞:
繼續跑 帶著赤子的驕傲
生命的閃耀不堅持到底怎能看到
與其苟延殘喘不如縱情燃燒吧
為了心中的美好
不妥協直到變老
