Conventional Learning Is Often Wrong

A “preferred learning style”

The popular notion of having a best style suited for you is wrong

• You build better mastery when you use testing as a tool for identifying areas of weakness
• Evidence points to one method of how to acquire long term knowledge

Making mistakes in learning

Making mistakes and correcting them builds the bridge to advanced learning

• When learning is harder it’s stronger and lasts longer

Mastery and retrieval

Being accurate about what we know we know is critical for decision making

• Mastery requires the possession of ready knowledge and the conceptual understanding on how to use it

Retrieving as a tool for learning

• Tells you what you know and you don’t know
• Reconsolidating of memory (strength in relations)

LOK: 3. Knowledge
RL: Make it stick
IDEAS: Traditional learning is useless Learning
