承上一篇微博:

很多老師和家長都忽略了閱讀有不同的維度。

平常我們看小說、網文、科普……精確度要求不高。譬如看金庸武俠小說,飛龍在天是怎樣飛?凌波微步如何走出?斜掛單鞭那一掌從什麼角度打下?左掌「回風拂柳」右掌「星河在天」是怎樣的姿態?一千個人會有一萬個不同的解讀(不同時期內心想像肯定不一樣)。就算金庸復生,只怕他自己也是說不清楚。只有一點可以肯定,就是他的解讀跟所有讀者內心看到的都會有所不同。

但這並不妨礙我們享受閱讀武俠小說的樂趣。

換成教科書就不一樣了。學術閱讀必須精確,否則任何科目都會死得很慘。文史樂美,數理化生,全不例外。 很多孩子到了中學成績變差,有不少是因為沒有掌握精確閱讀的能力。(用「學術閱讀」討論中小學教學內容有點怪,但這是翻譯自 academic reading,一時想不到更恰當的翻譯。)

「精確閱讀」聽起來比較高大上,但其實十分基礎。要求只不過是在閱讀時腦中每個字/詞的讀音、理解的意思都正確,不是自己隨便猜出來的。

我們公司內部培訓資料對此有比較詳細的討論,用Chat GPT 和 Deepseek翻譯成中文:

學術閱讀與休閒閱讀的區別

閱讀是一項至關重要的技能,可以打開通往知識和樂趣的大門。然而,必須認識到,對閱讀的熱愛並非人人皆有。試圖在每一位學生身上都灌輸這種熱情,可能會讓師生雙方都力不從心。理解學術閱讀和休閒閱讀的區別,認識閱讀在學生生活中的角色,對支持他們在學業上取得成功至關重要。

休閒閱讀
休閒閱讀的核心是享受。它包含所有為了樂趣而閱讀的行為,主要目標是體驗故事、思想和創意帶來的樂趣。在這個領域,沒有對錯之分。學生可以自由探索各種類型和風格,而不必承受考核或評價的壓力。

休閒閱讀最自由的是,如果一本書並不吸引你,你可以隨時停止閱讀。如果一個故事無法引起共鳴,放下它是完全可以接受的。這種靈活性使學生可以選擇他們在每本書上投入多少時間和精力。對準確性或深入理解沒有嚴格的要求;重點在於個人的享受和探索。

學術閱讀
相對而言,學術閱讀集中於學習。這類型的閱讀包括教科書和與學校相關的材料,旨在促進教育發展。它要求具備批判性閱讀技能,以尋找答案並發展理解能力,例如總結內容和識別主要思想。與休閒閱讀不同,學術閱讀通常是強制的;學生必須完成指定的作業以達成教育目標。

即使學生在休閒閱讀中錯過了小說的一半情節或細節,仍可以樂在其中;但學術閱讀則要求精確。在數學、化學或文學等學科中,忽略一個關鍵點可能會對學生的理解和表現產生重大影響。

值得注意的是,並非所有的學術閱讀都是非虛構作品,也並非所有的非虛構作品都被歸類為學術。其根本區別在於閱讀的目的。學術閱讀專注於獲取知識、理解複雜概念,並將這些信息應用於各個學科。

我們的角色
我們必須幫助學生發展學術閱讀所需的技能,以達到所需的準確性、理解力和深度。許多學生因為不認識學術閱讀和休閒閱讀之間的區別而感到困難,經常用閱讀小說的精確度來讀教科書,忽視了對更高準確性和深入理解的需求。

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACADEMIC AND PLEASURE READING

Reading is a vital skill that can open doors to knowledge and enjoyment. However, it's essential to recognize that a love for reading might not be universal. Attempting to instill this passion in every student can be overwhelming for both teachers and learners. Understanding the difference between academic and pleasure reading is crucial for appreciating the role reading can play in students' lives and for achieving academic success.

PLEASURE READING
Pleasure reading is fundamentally about enjoyment. It encompasses reading for fun, where the primary goal is to experience the joy of stories, ideas, and creativity. In this realm, there are no right or wrong answers. Students have the freedom to explore various genres and styles without the pressure of assessment or evaluation.

One of the most liberating aspects of pleasure reading is the freedom to stop reading if a book doesn’t engage you. If a story doesn't resonate, it’s perfectly acceptable to put it down. This flexibility allows students to choose how much time and effort they invest in each book. There are no stringent requirements for accuracy or deep understanding; the emphasis is on personal enjoyment and exploration.

ACADEMIC READING
In contrast, academic reading is centered on learning. This type of reading includes textbook-based and school-related materials specifically designed to enhance educational development. It requires critical reading skills to find answers and develop comprehension abilities, such as summarizing content and identifying main ideas. Unlike pleasure reading, academic reading is often mandatory; it consists of assignments that students must complete to meet specific educational objectives.

While a student may enjoy pleasure reading even if they miss half of a novel's plot or details, academic reading demands greater precision. Misunderstanding or missing just one key point in subjects like math, chemistry, or literature can significantly impact a student's understanding and performance.

It's important to note that not all academic reading is nonfiction, and not all nonfiction is classified as academic. The essential difference lies in the purpose behind the reading. Academic reading focuses on acquiring knowledge, understanding complex concepts, and applying that information across various subjects.

OUR ROLE
We must help students develop the skills necessary for academic reading to achieve the required levels of accuracy, comprehension, and depth. Many struggle because they don’t recognize the differences between academic and pleasure reading, often treating textbooks like novels and overlooking the need for greater accuracy and deeper understanding.
