PROSE (2015)

To most of us, learning something the hard way implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.

Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.

Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Gheorghiu Carla a dat nota:

I searched for effective ways to learn and Make it stick gave me the most useful tips. It also made me understand the difference between knowing the material and being familiar with it. We usually feel like we know the material we need to learn when we got used with the information, when we know where each paragraph is on the page, but this is just an ilusion. We didn`t make the effort to try to remember the information, we saw it and we assumed that we know it. I found out that we use study tecnique which give us the illuson of knowing and which don`t help us remembering the information. For example, re-reading doesn`t help us storing the information in our long-term memory. You need to make the effort to remember what you`ve read in order to retain the information. This amazing techniques are structured in Chapter 8, where you have some for students, for teachers etc. I liked that they give examples from different fields of activity (doctors, med students, actors, teachers etc), which means everybody can use the information provided in this book. As the authors warn the reader, the science of successful learning is simple, but not easy. In order to retain the information longer you need to make constant effort.
