New research has indicated that students who sacrifice sleep in order to cram for exams may be doing more harm than good. The study, which explores the link between sleep and memory, was recently published by scientists at Harvard Medical School.
According to their findings, people who deprive themselves of sleep so that theycan study until the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their performance, while suffering the crippling effects of fatigue. The research indicates that the brain requires good-quality sleep after practicing a task to effectively learn and improve at it. Those who substitute study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or "slow-wave" sleep will get little benefit from their extra effort.
The results, which have been published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, support the growing body of evidence suggesting that sleep is crucial to the learning process. Professor Stickgold, who led the study, suggests that a good night's sleep immediately after learning is essential for embedding new skills in the memory. He explains that the first night's sleep is crucial in the process of memory consolidation, adding that memories may not be retained unless they are "nailed down" by certain processes. Based on the findings, it seems that sleep is one such process that plays a crucial role in solidifying new information in the memory.

Nghiên cứu mới đã chỉ ra rằng những sinh viên hy sinh giấc ngủ để ôn thi có thể gây hại nhiều hơn lợi. Nghiên cứu khám phá ra mối liên hệ giữa giấc ngủ và trí nhớ, được các nhà khoa học tại Trường Y Harvard công bố gần đây.
Theo phát hiện của họ, những người tự tước đi giấc ngủ để có thể học cho đến phút cuối cùng sẽ không thể nhớ bất cứ điều gì có thể cải thiện hiệu suất của họ, đồng thời chịu tác động tê liệt của sự mệt mỏi. Nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng bộ não cần có giấc ngủ ngon sau khi học hỏi và cải thiện hiệu quả. Những người thay thế giấc ngủ bằng việc học, đặc biệt là những người bỏ lỡ giấc ngủ sâu hoặc "sóng chậm" sẽ nhận được rất ít lợi ích từ nỗ lực thêm đó của họ.
Các kết quả đã được công bố trên tạp chí khoa học Nature Neuroscience, ủng hộ bằng chứng ngày càng nhiều cho thấy giấc ngủ rất quan trọng đối với quá trình học tập. Giáo sư Stickgold, người đứng đầu cuộc nghiên cứu, cho rằng một giấc ngủ ngon ngay sau khi học là điều cần thiết để ghi nhớ những kỹ năng mới. Ông giải thích rằng giấc ngủ đêm đầu tiên rất quan trọng trong quá trình củng cố trí nhớ, đồng thời nói thêm rằng ký ức có thể không được giữ lại trừ khi chúng được "đóng đinh" bởi một số quy trình nhất định. Dựa trên những phát hiện này, có vẻ như giấc ngủ là một trong những quá trình đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc củng cố thông tin mới trong bộ nhớ.

There is a great concern in Europe and North America about declining standards of literacy in schools. The development of literacy has far-reaching effects on general intellectual development and thus anything which impedes the development of literacy is a serious matter for us all. So the hunt is on for the cause of the decline in literacy.
When teachers use picture books, they are simply continuing a long-established tradition that is accepted without question. And for the past two decades, illustrations in reading primers have become increasingly detailed and obtrusive, while language has become impoverished-sometimes to the point of extinction.
Amazingly, there is virtually no empirical evidence to support the use of illustrations in teaching reading. On the contrary, a great deal of empirical evidence shows that pictures interfere in a damaging way with all aspects of learning to read. The artwork is often marvellous, but the pictures make the language redundant, and the children have no need to imagine anything when they read such books. Looking at a picture actively prevents children younger than nine from creating a mental image, and can make it difficult for older children. In order to learn how to comprehend, they need to practise making their own meaning in response to text. They need to have their innate powers of imagination trained. As they grow older, many children turn aside from books without pictures, and it is a situation made more serious as our culture becomes more visual. It is hard to wean children off picture books when pictures have played a major part throughout their formative reading experiences, and when there is competition for their attention from so many other sources of entertainment.
Pictures are also used to help motivate children to read because they are beautiful and eye-catching. But motivation to read should be provided by listening to stories well read, where children imagine in response to the story. Then, as they start to read, they have this experience to help them understand the language. If we present pictures to save children the trouble of developing these creative skills, then we are making a great mistake.
Dịch bài đọc:
Có một mối quan tâm lớn ở Châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ về việc giảm tiêu chuẩn đọc viết trong trường học. Khả năng đọc viết có tác động sâu rộng đến sự phát triển trí tuệ nói chung và do đó, bất cứ điều gì cản trở sự phát triển của khả năng đọc viết đều là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng đối với tất cả chúng ta. Vì vậy, cuộc săn lùng nguyên nhân của sự suy giảm khả năng đọc viết đang diễn ra.
Khi giáo viên sử dụng sách tranh, họ chỉ đơn giản là tiếp tục một truyền thống lâu đời được chấp nhận mà không thắc mắc gì. Và trong hai thập kỷ qua, hình ảnh minh họa trong các cuốn sách vỡ lòng ngày càng trở nên chi tiết và khó hiểu, trong khi ngôn ngữ trở nên rất ít- đôi khi còn chẳng có
Đáng ngạc nhiên là hầu như không có bằng chứng thực nghiệm nào hỗ trợ việc sử dụng hình ảnh minh họa trong việc dạy đọc. Ngược lại, rất nhiều bằng chứng thực nghiệm cho thấy rằng hình ảnh can thiệp một cách có hại vào tất cả các khía cạnh của việc học đọc. Các tác phẩm nghệ thuật thường tuyệt vời, nhưng những bức tranh làm cho ngôn ngữ trở nên dư thừa và trẻ em không cần phải tưởng tượng bất cứ điều gì khi đọc những cuốn sách như vậy. Việc chủ động nhìn vào một bức tranh ngăn trẻ dưới chín tuổi tạo ra một hình ảnh trong đầu và có thể gây khó khăn cho trẻ lớn hơn. Để học cách lĩnh hội, các em cần luyện tập cách diễn đạt ý của mình để đáp lại. Chúng cần phải rèn luyện khả năng tưởng tượng bẩm sinh. Khi lớn hơn, nhiều trẻ em không thích những cuốn sách không có hình ảnh, và tình hình càng trở nên nghiêm trọng hơn khi nền văn hóa của chúng ta trở nên trực quan hơn. Thật khó cho trẻ em khi không có sách tranh khi tranh ảnh đã đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong suốt quá trình hình thành trải nghiệm đọc của chúng và khi có sự cạnh tranh để thu hút sự chú ý của chúng từ rất nhiều nguồn giải trí khác.
Hình ảnh cũng được sử dụng để khuyến khích trẻ em đọc vì chúng đẹp và bắt mắt. Nhưng động lực để đọc nên được cung cấp bằng cách lắng nghe những câu chuyện hay được đọc, trẻ em tưởng tượng để đáp lại câu chuyện. Sau đó, khi chúng bắt đầu đọc, chúng sẽ có kinh nghiệm để hiểu ngôn ngữ. Nếu chúng ta trình bày những bức tranh để giúp trẻ em không gặp khó khăn trong việc phát triển những kỹ năng sáng tạo này, thì chúng ta đang mắc một sai lầm lớn.
