"Learn to understand, understand to learn"
Sharing about his learning method, Hoang An said: "I see knowledge as a spiral that is constantly developing. During the learning process, I always apply the principle of 'learning to understand, understanding to learn'. For every subject, I always research and prepare general knowledge in advance. However, when acquiring knowledge, I choose the mindset of a blank page, trying to absorb as much as possible what the teachers convey. After grasping the core content, I move to the stage of 'understanding to learn', applying that knowledge into practice and accumulating new experiences and lessons". According to Hoang An, the lessons learned from personal experiences not only help me understand more deeply the theories I learned at school, but also support me in the process of learning subjects. different later. "Every practical experience brings new perspectives, helping me connect knowledge together. When applying theory to practice, I not only remember information better but also develop critical thinking skills, analyze problems more deeply and comprehensively," Hoang An shared.
