Learning how to learn
- 1. How your life in college can be easier learn Learning to
- 2. Read, underline, make summaries, prepare mind maps If you read your textbook at least 7 times, you’ll be fine. Read again and again Is it the answer? .
- 3. Read, underline, make summaries prepare mind maps I you read your textbook at least 7 times, you’ll be fine. Read again and again Is it the answer? NO!
- 4. Overlearning • When we read the same notes again and again, they become familiar
- 5. Illusion of competence • As the material becomes familiar, we gain fluency • There is a feeling we already know the material • In fact, we don’t
- 6. Use focused mode during lectures Review your notes later that day Practice and test Go for a walk or otherwise use the diffused mode There is a better way
- 7. Focused mode • Allows the mind to recognize familiar patterns • Problems related to these patterns are easily solved • Works in a sequencial way – step by step reasoning
- 8. Allow no distractions Keep your mobile turned off. Do not sit next to your best friend Try to follow the lecture. Take notes of the key points Try to connect what’s being said to other things you already know At the end of the lecture, write a brief summary of the main points covered Focused mode
- 9. Revision allows the information to find a place in the large store of the long term memory Start chunk formation Review your notes later that day
- 10. Chunk formation • Use focused attention • Understand the problem • Practice New chunks will be placed in your hanger (long term memory)
- 11. Chunk formation Simple understanding how a problem is solved does not necessarily create a chunk that can be used later
- 12. Close the book and try to solve the problem by yourself The chunk (creation of neural patterns) will only be created by doing it yourself Top down learning Understanding the big picture
- 13. Practice As the saying goes, Repetition is the mother of skill
- 14. Deliberate Practice Focus on the most difficult part Spaced repetition Review frequently Bottom up learning How the chunk fits in the big picture .
- 15. We can also look at chunks as if they were a puzzle. In the beginning, it is difficult to place the pieces.
- 16. We can also look at chunks as if they were a puzzle. We then get some pieces together – they can be seen as a chunk. The more chunks we have, the easiest it gets to place the next piece
- 17. We can also look at chunks as if they were a puzzle. Even if we did not know how the puzzle would look like, we start to see the big picture after having done some chunks.
- 18. If you think it is difficult to find the will to do the Practice…
- 19. Use a Pomodoro • Find a place where you can be concentrated • Shut out all interruptions • Work for 25 minutes
- 20. Use flashcards Test yourself • Do it consistently for short periods of time • Recall will allow the information to be stored in the long term memory • Use manual or computarized flash cards • In any case, make your own – you are the only person to know what you need to learn!
- 21. Do it every day (ok, you can take Sunday off) Eventually all the new concepts will be safely kept in the long term memory. New concepts will be easier to grasp, because you have now more chunks, more hangers to help connect the new material.
- 22. Revisions • Recall and think about the material in different places than the one where you first learned it • It increases the neural connections
- 23. Go for a walk or otherwise use the diffused mode There is a better way
- 24. Diffused mode • Now it is time for your brain to work on the material at his own pace • You can take a nap, go for a walk, go clean your room , and your brain will be working on the material
- 25. What we talked about Do you recall all the topics? Focused mode Chunks . OverlearningDeliberate Practice Spaced repetition Diffused mode Pomodoro Test yourself Illusion of competence .
- 26. Happy learning! . Don’t forget your diffused time!
