只有破除這種大腦迷思，知道遺傳並不能決定人生之路，了解大腦具有令人驚異的可塑性，才能釋放無限潛能。

──裘．波勒　　TED精彩演講：reurl.cc/e9OWRb　　．答題錯誤就是學習無效？　　．數學考不好，是因為沒有「數學頭腦」？　　．做一堆習作題目，愈熟練愈好？　　．答題速度快等於數學好？　　．女生天生數理就不好？　　．常誇孩子聰明，孩子更有自信？　　我們常被根深柢固的刻板印象誤導，因而無法發揮潛能，讓人生受限。

　　波勒教授和腦科學專家團隊多年來深入研究，提出革命性的教育學習新觀念：　　其實，大腦能不斷成長，且大腦愈挫（錯）愈勇。

　　她透過六把學習金鑰，培養成長型學習思維，達成心態致勝的教育實踐：　　1.大腦會不斷連結、變化　　．地表最強倫敦計程車駕駛有人肉GPS之稱，經過密集空間訓練，他們的海馬迴明顯增長，但退休後比較少用就萎縮了　　2.每次掙扎、出錯都是大腦成長的最佳時機　　．初學單簧管的小女孩高度專注、聚焦於錯誤和修正，用六分鐘達成一個月的學習成效　　3.改變信念，身體和大腦就跟著改變　　．用頭腦練習的鋼琴家，跟用鋼琴練習的鋼琴家，在動作、速度上幾乎一樣好　　4.多角度學習法，促進大腦不同區域的溝通　　．與其做一大堆類似題目，不如精選題型，透過數字計算、故事描述，或用圖形等不同方式來解題　　5.思考不必拚速度　　．學得快，去得也快。

想讓學習效果持續，慢而深的思考更重要　　6.透過連結與合作，發揮無限潛能　　．與人連結，接觸各種不同想法，更可強化神經路徑、增進學習成效　　▍波勒教授的學習大革命　　➢大腦就像肌肉，經過鍛鍊就能成長　　➢改變心態，學習成功一半　　➢不要讓別人擋住你的路，碰到障礙，就想辦法繞過去　　➢培養「成長型學習思維」、打破天賦迷思，教師與父母扮演關鍵角色　　➢失敗不是絕路，而是代表你必須重新出發　　➢答對不是最好的大腦鍛鍊法，正向面對錯誤才能強化大腦路徑　　➢挫折和失敗不只能解開束縛，更有助於應付難纏的人　　➢做任何事不會只有一條路，你可利用其他路徑繼續向前　　➢學習的「速度」不重要，「深度」和「創意」才是關鍵　　➢用快速複製的內容填滿心靈，對解決問題沒有幫助；深刻、靈活的思考才能運用在所有科目及生活層面　　➢用不同方式接觸知識，將概念壓縮、歸檔到大腦中，就能為理解打造堅實的基礎，日後就能迅速提取運用　　➢跨域思考，促進大腦建立跨域連結　　➢好奇、從發現的過程找到快樂，才是好的心態　　➢不要把與你一起工作或學習的人看成是競爭對手。

他們是你合作的對象，你應該用不設限的態度來面對他們，並和他們建立長遠的連結　　➢能克服困難而不被擊垮者的共同特點：在需要幫助時，求助於朋友、家人或同事，人際連結幫助他們通過考驗，進而發展出強大的力量專文推薦　　賴以威　台灣師範大學電機系副教授／數感實驗室共同創辦人強力推薦　　任維勇　北一女中數學科教師　　李國偉　中央研究院數學所兼任研究員　　李崇建　作家、教育家　　林怡辰　閱讀推廣人　　洪仲清　臨床心理師　　蔡依橙　素養教育工作坊核心講師　　謝伯讓　腦科學家、《大腦簡史》作者　　顏聖紘　國立中山大學生物科學系副教授　　（依姓氏筆畫排序）各界讚譽　　．在數學教育現場，最大的困難是矯正學生（有時也有家長）對數學學習的迷思。

本書許多內容就是針對數學的學習與教學的探討與改進，除了對老師與學生的訪談與實證，也有腦神經在生理上的印證。

值得閱讀並深思的一本書。

──任維勇，北一女中數學科教師　　．作者從認知科學成果鑄造出的六把金鑰，有力的破解了學習數學時的迷思。

其實大腦在克服困難與糾正錯誤中會持續發展，而那些降低學習數學障礙的方法，也適合用來處理生活上的難題。

本書值得所有學生、老師、家長仔細閱讀。

──李國偉，中央研究院數學所兼任研究員　　．我求學時期數學成績欠佳，我長久以來認為，我缺乏數學細胞。

這樣的想法只有壞處，甚至是不正確的想法，過去從卡蘿．杜維克提倡的「成長型思維」可見端倪，如今裘．波勒出版這本書，更證明「人是可以改變的」，有助於我教孩子數學時，我的信心與正向信念。

──李崇建，作家、教育家　　．要培養孩子「成長型思維」最好的方式，就是學習數學。

而這本書給了六把金鑰，從大腦、連結、信念等，看見每個人都可以有成長型思維，都能不斷前進，在數學裡享受思考的樂趣。

教育工作者，不容錯過。

──林怡辰，閱讀推廣人　　．透過大腦的神經可塑性，史丹佛數學教育家波勒博士提出了錯中學習、心態改變、感官連結、多元思考以及人際合作等實用學習技巧。

以腦科學為依據，讓你相信自己、釋放被束縛的潛力！──謝伯讓，腦科學家、《大腦簡史》作者國際好評　　．波勒是罕見、了不起的教育家。

她不只了解偉大的老師是怎麼教的，也知道如何讓人成為偉大的老師。

──卡蘿．杜維克（CarolDweck），《心態致勝》作者　　．波勒是當今最有創造力和創新精神的教育家。

本書結合尖端大腦科學與她多年的教學經驗，不只證明每個人都有無限潛力，也告訴我們如何施展潛力。

──蘿琳．鮑威爾．賈伯斯（LaurenePowellJobs），公益組織愛默生基金會創辦人　　．波勒是無所畏懼的自由思想家，給予我們學習的新理念。
