 LEARNING TECHNIQUES THAT WORK even through E-Learning
LEARNING TECHNIQUES THAT WORK
Dr. Kenneth Holmes
Students often times come to me in high school or college with a very limited understanding of how they learn. During a brief course of conversation I have learned that they are using the same techniques for learning that they have used all their lives. They seem to feel at an unconscious level they are a creature of habit and it has not dawned on them to try something new.
REMEMBER THAT IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME TECHNIQUE OVER AND OVER YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GET THE SAME RESULT.
I have listed 6 ways to learn better and faster. They work.
1. De-suggest: Get rid of limiting beliefs about our capacity to learn
If a student thinks they are or told they are a slow learner, guess what they start to believe that. And it becomes true.
Relax: So that information is better absorbed
Part of the learning process means we have to use our whole brain. That means we must turn down the electrical energy so that we can use other parts of the brain that enjoy quiet and relaxation.
Map: Create a mental map of what is to be learned
This mental map needs to be a visual image, with sounds as well as feelings connected to it. For example I want to learn about studying. I see myself a student learner, a life long learner, studying information that helps me. I hear people commenting on my ability to learn and it makes me feel warm, confident and excited.
Drama: Dramatic reading of the material to be learned
The best way to learn material is to read it out loud in a dramatic tone, maybe even moving about as you read the material.
Calming music: listening, aided by music, to the material

Calming music works on certain brain areas that affect learning. The last thing you want to be doing is to have the body neuron system being energized by a rock beat, or listening to words of a singer that blocks your internal study dialogue.
Fun and games: to integrate the material by re-activating our child-like ability to learn rapidly and effortlessly.
