“Learning to Learn”

 


Hello everyone, have you ever thought about why we need to learn? Some of us might be thought that we need to learn because that is our needs to complete our future life. Here I’m going to explain a little bit about “An innovative way of learning for long lasting memory and Gaining expertise”.

Learning to learn is the ability to pursue and persist in learning, to organize one’s own learning, including through effective management of time and information both individually and in group.

In fact, that we do/did study to:

  • 1.     Earn certificate.
  • 2.     Get a job
  • 3.     Please people around us
  • 4.     Gain information for future
  • 5.     Guardian ask to do so
  • 6.     Gain knowledge and wisdom

So, the biggest question is that why should we study? Yeah and the answer is learnt. Also, we need to learn to make learning fun, to gain knowledge and expertise, to have long lasting memory.

Common learning practices:

  • 1.     Cramming
  • 2.     Taking enormous notes
  • 3.     Repetitive reading
  • 4.     Repetitive writing
  • 5.     Highlighting

Effective learning practices introduced by John Dunlosky and Robert A. Bjork.  

Interleaving or spacing & Distributed practice:

  • 1.     Read different subjects on different time intervals
  • 2.     Try to avoid everything of a single subject on a whole
  • 3.     First one subject then read another, switch to another or the previous subject.

Desirable difficulties & Retrieval practice:

  • 1.     Desirable difficulties mean the difficulty which we create to test our learning
  • 2.     Switching between subjects instead of reading the same subject
  • 3.     Try to explain what you have learned to someone verbally
  • 4.     Try to make sticky notes and arrange it with the theme
  • 5.     Try to attempt quiz related to what you have learned

Tips practical experiment:

1.     Be mentally attentive

2.     Take learning as a positive & fun instead of a tedious job

3.     Try your own creativity to remove boredom

4.     The most important tip is about reveal

5.     Be curious

A child can learn more easily & effectively than an adult. A young baby doesn’t need to do cramming for anything because he/she is curious enough to learn more. As we grow, we start ignoring our curiosity which ultimately dies, so be curious.

“Material evaluation and Material design”

  “Material evaluation and Material design” Material evaluation may be defined as a procedure or a systematic appraisal measuring the potential value, of materials on learning in relation to other objectives. (Tomilison 1998). In other words, material evaluation means a principled process of providing useful information about the targeted materials in order to select and/or develop them in a reliable and valid approach. Mukundan (2004, 2009) argues that there are two purposes for evaluation: the first one is select the coursebook and the other purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the coursebook while they are used. However, Tomilison and Masuhura (2004) indicate that the ultimate purpose of evaluation is for re-development of material. Identifying the potential strengths and weaknesses of the materials for selection and/or development purpose is useful.   Types of Evaluation (Book) ·        External evaluation: claims made on the cover, introduction and table of conte

The type of language programme is introduced will be dependent on the educational framework of the given country. Educational frameworks vary enormously between countries. In some contexts, there is a major divide between primary and secondary schools around the age of ten to 11, while in others primary schooling runs for eight years (from six to 14), divided into lower primary and upper primary sectors.
