Three kinds of consciousness that research must possess.

Hello, welcome to the excellent class that effectively trains your research ability. I am Xu Chen. In this section, I mainly tell you three aspects. The first is the essence of research. The second is the more subtle difference between research and study. Third, make the three kinds of consciousness necessary for effective research. Learning this word in English is called rest. This English word actually comes from old French, which means thorough examination. So you pay attention to research, not doing other research, but checking. Then what is the inspection for? On the one hand, it may be for error correction, on the other hand, it may be for better. Let's better summarize the essence or ultimate goal of the research here. So who is better off this way? Simply put, it is compared with your research object, which is the difference between research and learning. I also have a great course called How to Become a Master of Effective Learning. In that excellent class, I talked about learning methods and mentioned that imitation is an important means of naturalistic learning methods. The highest state of imitation learning or practice is as good as your learning object, and to surpass him, you must have research ability. It is better to speak here, sometimes to gain more solid knowledge, and sometimes to master more advanced skills. In order to better realize these, we need to actively and systematically explore and discover. Let me give you a concrete example, such as taking an exam. When I am an IELTS listening teacher, on the one hand, I will make students practice listening recognition hard and let them improve their listening recognition ability as truly as possible. This process is learning or practicing. But at the same time, I also carefully help them analyze what the IELTS listening test is about. How is this exam designed? What are the traps? What are the parts that are easy to score short-term surprise scores? This process is to study the exam, study the exam itself clearly and find out the essential details, traps and rules of the exam, which will also help students do better in the exam very effectively. The three common characteristics of a study are practice tracking and repetition. However, the research process does not have these three characteristics at all. Many years ago, Mr. Dove said that it is an art, and there is no stable way to go step by step when you are doing research. Just like starting a business. You can't completely copy every step taken by the previous entrepreneur. This is the difficulty of research, and it is also the place he is interested in. Let me give some practical examples to further feel the difference between learning and research. Students mainly study, graduate students do research, athletes do exercises, coaches do research, performers do exercises and research, staff do work and efforts, and managers do research. I have said so much, you should already feel the difference between research and study. Note that there is no difference between study and research. You can't say that performers are inferior to art critics, and you can't say that art critics are inferior to performers, but they are definitely two different things. In the first part of training research ability, my suggestion is to awaken three very important consciousness. They are work consciousness, goal consciousness and external consciousness respectively. In fact, we mentioned the consciousness of works before, remember what I said better? If you have this requirement for yourself, you will have a sense of work. What is the consciousness of the work? The first step of research is not to determine the research goal, but to establish the research motivation. Research motivation refers to the initiative of research, which I call work consciousness. A person must have a strong job for a period of time before he begins to study. The work mentioned here is to make something better and look like a work. Driven by the consciousness of works, there will be overall research in the future, that is to say, the consciousness of works is the starting point of the research spirit. I take cooking as an example. Most people may have learned cooking skills from their mothers or grandmothers. Note that this is learning, because you have to practice it again and again. But my cooking is better than my mother and grandmother, which is what we define as better. This is because I have a sense of work about cooking. I treat every dish I cook as my own work, not just to fill my stomach. Once I took food as a work, I began to study cooking. Well, you don't think everything will work. So I can do better and better. Finally, I developed a set of cooking courses, which is the research motivation brought by the consciousness of works. Consciousness of works. Some people may think too much about the word work. For example, the work may not be a magnificent building, but it may be a doorman's handle in a magnificent building. The material, shape and style of the doorknob are worthy of our study. In fact, I give this example to tell you that the work is not necessarily grand, ah, he may also pay attention to details. I also want to tell you that research is an art, and the most important thing in artistic expression is details. Our daily work and life are full of details that need to be studied. For example, the cooking work we just mentioned may not even be an actual object, but an expression of an idea or idea. Therefore, when you set research goals, you should not always think about changing the world at once, but first stimulate your cognition of the works that study things. This is the most crucial thing. Remember what we said about the essence of research? I want to be better. Let me give you some advice. When I usually do something, I give myself a hint and tell myself that I am going to do it, not to do it, but to do it. Only by changing such a word can your sense of ceremony and work be aroused. The second kind of consciousness necessary in research is always maintained in the process of research, which is called goal consciousness. Just studying spiritual works 1 1, individuals are likely to deviate from the direction of further research because of lack of clear goal consciousness. My boss, Luo Yonghao, CEO of Hammer Technology, was planning to shoot an advertisement for the launch of the new mobile phone, so I looked up some good advertisements on the video website for reference and inspiration. In fact, it is also a very important channel to obtain some research materials through video websites. In order to create good commercials, it is a very authentic research method to look up the previous classic commercials on the video website. But after watching dozens of commercials, the boss said that he really wanted to start an advertising company. Ah, you see, his research spirit is shining, but he forgets his research goal. Fortunately, I told him in time that we were going to release a new mobile phone and hold a press conference. Oh, oh, so he calmed down. I saw someone on the Internet saying that he had just written a few lines and had two cups of tea. As a result, he suddenly opened Wikipedia and carefully read the origin, classification and production technology of tea for more than two hours. This is a common distraction phenomenon when many people are doing research, and even they are suspected of procrastination. Your thesis is not about the origin, classification and production technology of tea. You go to check these materials, which is called serious digression. There is something wrong with the goal consciousness of your research. How to keep a sense of purpose? I also give you an effective suggestion. In the process of research, you should always keep an eye on your original research goal and ask yourself whether what I am doing will affect the main line of research. I suggest you look down on the whole thing from God's point of view, so that you can keep your goal and stay on track. In the actual operation of research, it is actually very difficult for you to always think about your research goals. You must always see it. Therefore, in order to maintain a research goal, in the process of research, we need to always maintain the necessary third consciousness in research, that is, external consciousness. Researchers must be outsiders, and people are often too obsessed with what they are interested in. I won't talk about this for the time being, and I'll explain it to you in detail in the next section. By the way, even if you understand the essence of research, what exactly is research for? With the awareness of works, goals and outsiders, you must also clearly realize that the cost of research and the cost paid for research are often huge, including financial cost, time cost, energy cost and even trial and error cost. Why should I emphasize here that research needs to pay for you? It is because if I don't point out to you that the research cost you pay is too limited, you still don't know why your research ability is poor. Well, sometimes your research ability is poor, just because the research cost you pay is far from enough. People need to spend a lot of time and energy, even money to do research, especially academic research. Based on the research of scientific experiments, the cost of trial and error is very high, because it is the failure of hundreds of banquets, and the cost of thorough investigation is reflected here. This is why academic research needs research funds. Once there is no research funding, many academic research will be shelved. At this level, the cost of research is much higher than that of learning. To sum up this lecture, we can better understand the essence and demands of research by comparing the subtle differences between research and learning. At the same time, it also tells you three consciousnesses that need to be awakened in doing research, namely, work consciousness, goal consciousness and external consciousness, and gives you a clear hint of research cost. Ok, I'll take you to the second step of studying the convention, which is to collect information. I will tell you that you need to grasp two points that sound contradictory when collecting information. Adequacy and temperance. In fact, they are not contradictory, but a balance.
