Set Learning Styles
There’s no research to support learning styles.
How to learn: Match your content to the process – students should learn music by listening to music, while students should learn reading by doing more reading.
Rereading Material
How to learn: Instead of rereading, highlighting, or underlining important information, ask yourself:
- What is the author trying to say?’
- How is this different from other things I’ve read?’
- How does this relate to other material I know?’
Focusing On One Subject At A Time
When it comes to learning a difficult subject, people often believe you should practice one thing at a time.
How to learn: Mixing it up, however, is a better approach. In mixed learning, you get a chance to see the core idea below it.
Sticking With The First Answer
In school, many of us were taught that if you put an answer on a test you shouldn’t change it, but we’re better off reconsidering. We need time to deliberate and reflect to understand something.
How to learn: While facts are important, how you use them is key. To solve new problems and come up with ideas, you need analogies and systems of how things relate to each other.
More Time For Learning
Putting in a lot of hours doesn’t always mean you’ll become good at something. People tend to be blissfully unaware of their incompetence.
How to learn: What works instead isn’t just time; it’s outside advice and input. That’s why hiring coaches and tutors are so beneficial to learning.
