国际课程如何高效复习?

在学习中，不仅仅要学习学科内容，而且要学会如何学习，特别是复习环节，时间和方法都很重要。在地理学习课堂，Miss Dobson老师给同学们介绍了多种行之有效的复习方法。这些方法同样适用于其他科目。 

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，通过问题探究，引导学生意识到复习的重要性和有效性，了解复习的时间节点和频次，从而学习如何进行有效复习。参看以下问题：

--- 什么时候开始复习？

--- 为什么要复习？

--- 如何复习？

--- 复习真的有帮助吗？

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?

在如何复习方面，Miss Dobson老师介绍了以下复习方法：

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

1. 闪卡 Flash Cards

利用闪卡整理知识点，在卡片一面写出问题，另一面写出答案。这个方法特别适合学习新的术语，在卡片一面写上学科术语词汇，另一面写出术语的定义。如下图：

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. 思维导图 Mind Map

利用思维导图整理知识点。以主题词为中心，通过关键词、信息内容和图片延伸，帮助你记忆相关知识点。

特别提示：切勿堆积大量信息。如下图：

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. 相互提问 Teach each other

整理知识点，将相关信息转化为关键词和图片。然后去除信息，用图片和关键词向他人讲解自己所学内容。

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. 历年真题 Past paper

如何使用历年真题？针对IGCSE和A-level考试，你可以从考试官网下载历年真题。利用其中一个复习方法复习知识点，然后做考试真题。参考评分标准了解自己作答的正确度，进而提高答题质量。

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.

来自Miss Dobson老师的温馨提示，以下误区莫入：

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

1. 单一看书复习Just reading

在复习时，请勿只是单一地看书。有的学生花了很长时间看书复习，但是记住很少，甚至不到20%。希望能采取上述复习方法，让大脑积极思考起来。

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. 长时间复习 Long-hour revision

请勿长时间复习。在做复习时间安排时，建议把时间切分为小段，例如20分钟一个知识点，休息5至10分钟，让大脑得以很好地反思，吸收相关内容，然后再进入下一个20分钟的知识点复习，再安排5-10分钟休息做反思吸收，而不是持续1个小时，让大脑打疲劳战，无暇反思和积极思考。

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. 复制粘贴 Just copy and paste

请勿对查阅内容只做简单的复制粘贴。应该对阅读过的内容进行提炼和总结，重新表述，从而更好地把握关键词和主要内容。

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