Outlines
π The Importance of Reading for Understanding
The speaker begins by emphasizing that the purpose of fast reading is not to understand the content but to quickly assess if a complex work is worth a deeper read. They introduce themselves as a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington and discuss their academic journey. The main theme revolves around how to become creative by engaging in reading, specifically academic texts, which is crucial for expanding knowledge and understanding. The speaker highlights the importance of having a curious mindset and not just reading for the sake of reading. They also mention the need for a proper technique in reading to engage with the material effectively.
π Techniques for Effective Reading
This paragraph delves into the techniques of reading, distinguishing between passive and active reading. Passive reading is described as reading without a deeper purpose, such as skimming through an abstract or introduction to decide if the material is worth a detailed read. Active reading, on the other hand, involves a more engaged approach, where the reader interacts with the text, asking questions, and challenging the content. The speaker uses the example of the revision of the KPK Law to illustrate how one might critically engage with a text. They also discuss the importance of developing a habit of reading and the potential benefits of becoming a critical and skeptical reader.
π Advancing to Analytical and Comparative Reading
The speaker moves on to discuss advanced levels of reading, such as analytical and comparative reading. Analytical reading is where the reader not only questions the text but also seeks to understand the underlying theories and trends in the literature. Comparative reading is described as an even higher level of engagement, where the reader compares different works and theories, identifying gaps and proposing new ideas. The speaker suggests that while not everyone needs these advanced skills, they are crucial for those aiming for academic excellence, such as becoming a professor. They conclude by encouraging the audience to start small with their reading habits and gradually develop into analytical readers, potentially leading to significant achievements in their fields.

Transcripts
Membaca cepat itu tujuannya bukan untuk mengerti suatu bacaan.
Nggak mungkin lo bisa membaca cepat, misalnya suatu karya yang baik, yang agak kompleks,
lo baca cepat 30 menit, 1 jam, terus lo ngerti.
Nggak mungkin.
Halo, semua!
Ketemu lagi sama gue di Anatman Research Education Series.
Kalau lo belum nonton episode-episode sebelumnya, gue saranin lo nonton dulu supaya lo tahu
background dari apa yang mau gue omongin ini
dan gue juga mau kasih tahu bahwa gue ini masih mahasiswa S3 di University of Washington.
Gue juga sedang mengerjakan tugas disertasi gue
dan gue mau sharing apa yang sudah gue alami selama perjalanan sekolah gue.
Hari ini, gue mau membahas bagaimana caranya ngelamun kreatif.
Isu itu sudah banyak ditanyain kalau gue lihat di Instagram-nya Anatman.
Orang pada bertanya,
"Bang, gimana sih caranya kalau ngelamun supaya kreatif?"
Nah, hari ini gue mau bahas tentang bagaimana kalau lo ngelamun,
kalau lo mikir,
ngelamun lo itu kreatif dan bisa menjadi sebuah karya lo, karya ilmiah, karya tulis.
Ada satu hal yang terus gue omongin bahwa lo harus banyak membaca
karena membaca, orang bilang, itu jendela dunia.
Namun, membaca itu ada teknik-tekniknya dan nggak sembarangan membaca.
Ada mindset dalam membaca,
kemudian ada teknik dalam membaca.
Kenapa?
Supaya lo bisa engage kepada bacaan lo.
Supaya lo bisa suka sama bacaan lo.
Jadi, lo membaca bukan hanya untuk membaca, itu mah namanya pemberantasan buta huruf,
tetapi lo membaca karena lo ingin tahu sesuatu.
Nah, di sini, membaca itu utamanya, yang gue tekankan,
adalah membaca karya ilmiah, membaca academic reading,
karya-karya akademis, dan bukan novel atau non-fiction
karena kalau novel, non-fiction, itu kan tujuannya untuk entertainment.
Jadi, bebas aja bagaimana cara lo membacanya asalkan lo terhibur.
Namun, kalau lu membaca karya-karya ilmiah itu, lo harus penasaran dulu.
Lo harus punya mindset tertentu karena tujuannya dalam membaca karya-karya akademis itu adalah
untuk increasing knowledge lo, menambah ilmu pengetahuan lo,
menambah wawasan lo tentang sebuah ilmu.
Yang pertama, gue mau bilang adalah mindset.
Nah, ini yang paling penting, ya, mindset-nya.
Banyak orang membaca karena merasa harus membaca, nah, ini salah,
atau orang membaca karena harus menghafal.
Membaca itu bukan menghafal.
Ketika lo suka sama bacaan lo,
ketika lo kepo terhadap suatu hal,
misalnya lo pengen tahu sejarah Perang Dunia Kedua, siapa aktor-aktornya,
ketika lo kepo, lo akan baca terus
dan menghafal itu menjadi akibatnya, otomatis itu jadi hafal.
Jadi, karena lo suka, lo penasaran akan suatu topik,
lo baca topik itu, kemudian lo jadi hafal, itu akibatnya.
Namun, menghafal itu bukan tujuannya.
Kalau lo nggak suka sama bacaan lo, jangan harap lo bisa mengerti apa yang ada di bacaan tersebut.
Setelah lo dapet mindset-nya tadi tentang membaca, sekarang ada teknik membacanya.
Jadi, membaca itu sebenarnya nggak cuma gampang membaca,
tetapi bagaimana lo obtaining something dari bacaan itu
dan bagaimana lo memfilter bacaan lo. Itu nggak kalah pentingnya.
Nah, makanya, yang kedua, gue mau bahas tentang teknik-teknik membaca.
Jadi, membaca sebenarnya dibagi menjadi 2 bagian besar.
Yang satu, passive reading.
Passive reading ini, ya lo membaca for the sake of membaca aja
karena kalimatnya nggak ada makna lain, itu aja.
Itu passive reading.
- B. - Ya. Terus?
- A. B.
Ada passive reading yang kedua.
Stage yang kedua dalam passive reading yaitu skimming, lo membaca dengan cepat.
Nah, ini penting, nih. Ada yang harus diluruskan di sini
karena kalau lo lihat, banyak video-video atau buku-buku yang menawarkan
membaca cepat dalam 30 menit.
Sebenarnya, membaca cepat itu tujuannya bukan untuk mengerti suatu bacaan.
Nggak mungkin lo bisa membaca cepat, misalnya suatu karya yang baik, yang agak kompleks,
lo baca cepat 30 menit, 1 jam, terus lo ngerti.
Nggak mungkin.
Membaca cepat ini tujuannya adalah untuk menentukan
apakah bacaan yang lo mau baca itu pantas untuk lo baca secara lama, secara tidak cepat.
Bagaimana caranya?
Lo liat, misalnya, poin-poinnya.
Yang paling gampang, kalau misalnya jurnal atau buku, kalau ada abstraknya, lo baca abstraknya.
Abstrak itu paling 500 kata.
Lo baca, abstraknya nyambung nggak nih,
karena itu yang paling penting.
Lo baca abstrak paling 5 menit, 10 menit, atau bahkan kurang, atau lo baca introduction-nya.
Sekali lagi, membaca cepat untuk menentukan apakah
bacaan lo itu layak untuk lo baca untuk tidak cepat atau nggak,
layak untuk waktu lo, untuk lo konsentrasi waktu lo, energi lo, untuk memahami bacaan itu.
Itu namanya skimming.
Itu namanya membaca cepat.
Itu passive reading.
Nah, ketika sudah passive reading,
ada stage berikutnya, level berikutnya, yaitu active reading.
Nah, ini berhubungan dengan kalau lo mau menulis sesuatu
atau lo mau lebih sistematis, ini adalah active reading.
Sesuai namanya, active reading itu adalah lo membaca, tetapi aktif.
Apa maksudnya membaca aktif?
Seakan-akan, lo berdialog dengan buku itu.
Ini memang kedengarannya sedikit kayak orang gila. Cuma,
lo mempertanyakan sesuatu.
Jadi, lo nggak mudah percaya, lo skeptical.
Gue kasih contoh yang baru-baru ini. Tentang revisi Undang-Undang KPK.
Ada yang bilang, menulis, Undang-Undang KPK untuk memperkuat penegakan korupsi di Indonesia
supaya penegakan di Indonesia, penegakan hukum korupsi selalu terpadu.
Jadi, diperlukan Undang-Undang yang baru.
Nah, lo tanya, "Apa betul, nggak sih? Apa sih yang melatarbelakangi?"
Ada muncul pertanyaan-pertanyaan dan ini dibarengi dengan, biasanya, lo mulai juga menulis
dengan freewriting lo, teknik freewriting yang sudah gue bahas sebelumnya.
Misalnya, "Apa bener iya? Kok Undang-Undang KPK direvisi?"
"Bukannya KPK mendapatkan persepsi masyarakat yang bagus, yang paling tinggi?"
"Lho? Kok direvisinya banyak pro dan kontra? Kenapa sih ada pro dan kontra?
Jadi, lo tanya terus.
Lo nggak puas terhadap buku itu.
Jadi, lo cari sumber lain, lo baca yang lain.
Nah, itu membuat lo menjadi orang yang sangat critical dan nggak mudah percaya akan suatu informasi.
Namun, jangan salah. Kadang-kadang, lo bisa menjadi orang yang rese juga karena lo, apa-apa nggak percaya.
Kan orang yang selalu mempertanyakan, kadang-kadang dia bisa jadi rese.
Nah, lo harus balance, lah.
Memang di active reading ini memerlukan komitmen yang lebih.
Di sinilah tes sesungguhnya terjadi.
Apakah lo betul-betul suka sama topik tertentu apa nggak.
Kalau lo bisa melewati active reading, becoming a habit,
kemudian lo ketika baca sesuatu, "Ah, gue nggak percaya, nih! Apa benar begini?"
"Kayaknya nggak begini, deh. Kok kayaknya nggak masuk akal, sih?"
Muncul pertanyaan terus, itu kan lo lamunin. Itu lo pikirin.
Karena lo sering mempertanyakan-mempertanyakan, lo nulis-nulis notes,
lo, kemudian, menjadi critical dan nggak mudah percaya. Skeptical.
Setelah analytical reading, ada lagi stage terakhir yaitu
comparative reading.
Nah, ini sebenarnya perlu nggak perlu, ya, kalau gue bilang.
Kalau lo pengen jadi dosen, lo pengen S3, atau pengen jadi profesor, ini perlu banget.
Kenapa?
Karena dengan comparative reading itu, lo harus mengerti hampir seluruh bacaan dan tren bacaan,
tren teori yang berkembang.
Bukan hanya mempertanyakan saja, tetapi lo memahami seluruh, secara global,
kemudian lo melihat kelemahannya di mana,
apa yang nggak bener yang belum dibicarakan sama orang-orang itu,
sama orang-orang yang sudah menulis karya ilmiah.
Nah, di situ, kemudian, lo propose sesuatu yang baru.
Entah itu, "Orang salah, tuh, melihatnya. Nggak begitu. Oh, ada yang kurang, tuh!"
βIni gue propose sesuatu yang baru berdasarkan penelitian gue."
Namun, ini advance level, lah.
Nggak semua orang perlu skill ini.
Namun, gue rasa, yang penting itu analytical reading
karena ini akan mengubah cara pandang lo
ketika lo melihat suatu fenomena, ketika lo melihat suatu hal.
Lo akan menjadi lebih kritis.
Ingat, yang paling utama, gue mau menekankan, adalah jadikan membaca itu sebuah habit.
Begitu lo developing kesukaan lo, lo baca, lama-lama itu jadi kebiasaan.
Lo nunggu 10 menit, "Ah, gue baca apa, kek."
Nunggu 15 menit, lo baca apa, kek.
Banyak membaca, habit, setahun, 2 tahun, 3 tahun, 4 tahun, 5 tahun.
Mungkin dalam 20 tahun, lo bisa jadi Albert Einstein yang baru.
Oke, itu saja untuk episode ini.
Start small.
Nggak usah lo baca buku dulu, tetapi cari tahu apa yang lo suka dulu.
Bagaimana cari tahunya? Ya, lo tonton kanal-kanal Youtube yang informatif.
Nah, dari apa yang lo suka, ketika lo tahu, ketika lo sudah agak kepo sedikit akan suatu hal,
lo mulailah membaca sedikit-sedikit.
Naik level, lo jadi analytical reader.
Lama-lama, lo jadi ilmuwan besar, jangan-jangan.
Atau lo jadi profesor politik atau profesor hukum besar.
Jadi, itu saja.
Start small, start small, start small.
Thank you!
