How to learn knowledge in a certain field quickly?

The answer is: I saw a lot of dry goods.

But the side effect is-you will forget faster.

So, how to make knowledge stronger?

The answer is also simple: read textbooks.

But only if you can't "crash". Because, reading textbooks, not only the content, but also the after-school exercises and the complete system behind them.

Nowadays, new media operation is a very popular industry, and books in this field emerge one after another every year, but the good and the bad are mixed.

Because many books are written based on the author's personal views, the emphasis is different. For master operators, these books can supplement knowledge; For beginners, these books can not bring them a complete "knowledge system".

Just like I have read many books on photography, some teach you how to compose pictures, some teach you how to take portraits, or teach you "from beginners to masters"; With this knowledge, we can practice and operate at once, but we can't understand "why are you doing this?"

Even, I learned composition yesterday and color matching today, but how can these two kinds of knowledge be integrated?

This is the result of the lack of a systematic "knowledge system".

How will a set of systematic teaching materials teach you photography?

First of all, it will tell you in a long space: what is photography? How did it develop? Secondly, the types and genres of photography; Then teach you about the equipment and improve your aesthetics? After learning this set, I will finally teach you the operation skills.

I bought a set of new york photography teaching materials, the content is very systematic. But it was too thick and brain-burning, and I gave it away before I finished reading what photography is.

Why do textbooks spend so much space on the definition of "what is photography"?

Because this "definition" contains at least three big questions: what determines the nature of this field, what is the scope of this field, and what is the future development trend?

Without understanding these problems, it is difficult for us to establish a knowledge system in this field.

This is just like the difference between a training course and a university ―― the latter should talk about introduction and history; The former just tells you how to do it, and you just do it.

The former has strong operability and fast information update; The latter is very brain-burning, does not master the learning method, and does not know how to operate after learning.

So, how should we study textbooks?

I made a study plan for myself, specifically for Uncle Akiba's new media textbooks. But at present, I haven't started to learn it myself, so I can only talk about ideas here, not specific learning methods, so as not to lead you astray.

Interested friends can also use these ideas to make their own study plans.

Idea 1:

Observe how the new media has affected our life and work.

Draw a boundary for the field of "new media operation". What does it include and what does it not include? This can be seen from the "introduction" and "development history" in the book.

(including copywriting, planning, marketing and project management; Excluding technology, products and design)

Idea 2:

What is the knowledge system of new media operation?

To answer this question, you need to read this set of books and think about it in combination with your own experience and online dry goods.

I once drew a mind map of "WeChat operation" and briefly summarized the knowledge needed in this respect.

Once the framework is established, once we learn new content, we can directly contribute to the framework without worrying that this knowledge will fight in our minds.

Idea 3:

Combine with reality, combine with reality, combine with reality!

Say it three times.

The advantage of textbooks is that knowledge is very complete and self-contained; The disadvantages are also obvious: the content is lagging behind and the depth is relatively lacking (in some details, the teaching materials are not as good as professional books. For example, the part about copywriting in Uncle Akiba's textbook is definitely not as good as that of Ma or Le Jianfeng. But uncle's textbook is an inseparable whole.

Moreover, the editing process of teaching materials is relatively long, and reading the latest information is faster than reading dry goods.

Therefore, even if you brush a set of teaching materials and take thick notes, if this knowledge has not been tested by you, it will not become your thing after all.
