An American psychologist and educator, Dr. Tauman, made an investigation and experiment on children's potential and achieved amazing results. Aina, a 2-year-old girl, can successfully explain Niels' goose riding trip. 3-year-old Pierre became a software programmer for a local private computer company. Susanna, a 4-year-old girl, is proficient in four languages; Martin, a 4-year-old boy, is not satisfied with his mother's educational progress, although her educational level is incredible in the eyes of others. Martin's Japanese makes it impossible for the Japanese to believe that he has never been to Japan. He often borrows books from the local library. The librarian said, "For months, I thought he was borrowing books for his parents." What's more interesting is that several children in the third and fourth grades of Martin's neighbor primary school often come to Martin's house to finish their homework with him. Martin explained to these college students what he had done more than once, but they didn't think of it.
One of Dr. Taumann's students also worried a music professor about his ears, because his ears told him that the player of this record had at least ten years' playing experience, but the record said "Player: Goethe, four years old". He didn't know that some art teachers were bragging about the same Goethe's unique view of Matisse's fauvism works!
These children come from the same school and receive the same education methods. They are all students of Dr. Tauman.
For a long time, Dr. Tauman has been engaged in the intellectual education of mentally retarded children. A group of mentally retarded children with IQ between 70 and 75, after a year's education by Dr. Tauman, 95% of them have IQ above 90, which means they are almost the same as ordinary people.
More than ten years ago, Dr. Tauman had an idea that children with mental retardation could become normal after proper education. So how much potential can children with normal intelligence and extraordinary intelligence tap? Therefore, Dr. Tauman has carefully developed a brand-new method of early childhood education-brain information enhancement and stimulation education method. The principle of this educational method is to stimulate the division, proliferation and growth of brain cells by using all sensory channels such as vision, hearing and touch.
Subsequently, Dr. Man Tao carefully selected some two or three-year-old children with IQ between1/kloc-0 ~120 as the first batch of subjects. The parents of these children include engineers, doctors, teachers, clerks, salesmen and assemblers, among whom Martin's mother is a housewife. The first step is to let parents understand the significance and implementation method of strengthening the stimulus education law.
The information stimulation education law was bold from the beginning. Because he can't communicate with two or three-year-old children by using language, Dr. Tauman gave up formal language training and replaced language with the simplest symbols that are most acceptable to children. These symbols include points, lines and their combinations and various simple patterns. These geometric patterns are not limited to two-dimensional space, but also include various three-dimensional models. In the words of Dr. Tauman: "Otherwise, children will lack spatial imagination."
After the children had a simple concept, Dr. Tauman offered them courses such as arithmetic, Chinese, foreign languages, music, art and gymnastics. The only textbooks are instructions and precautions for parents. The children used Dr. Tauman's homemade cards. After a few months, parents are responsible for making cards. Because at this time, parents have been able to master and use Man Tao's educational methods skillfully. However, the workload of making cards is too heavy, and parents often make them late at night, which makes those parents who have jobs complain. Some people have to give up this kind of education for their children, but some parents have resigned. The effect of Taumann's educational method is unusual and convincing. But how do these prodigies go to school? Their potential has been tapped, how long can they persist? There are still so many children whose potential has not been tapped. What should parents and teachers do? This will be an important topic for human beings to continue to study and explore.
