The science of successful learning
Key Ideas
Learning is Misuderstood
- Repeating is not effective
- It is important to know what we know and what we NOT know when learning
- Ilussion of knowing is a real thing that we need to avoid.
- Quizzing/challenging ourself is the key tool for our learning. It is called retrieval-based learning.
- Teaching (writing blog/ thread) is the ultimate way to mastering the subject
- In addition to teaching, to do a real action/project is also an insurance of understanding of a subject.
- Learning is deeper and durable when it’s effortful.
- Making sense to ourself like elaboration and using mental model is highly recommend because that way our brain can easily connect the dots because it is relevance.
