ROI – 100x on your learning
1. A – Active priming – When you take your academic textbook. Follow this – ‘ Do free – recall on topic ‘xyz’ with keywords as nodes ‘ in NiceMind ( a mind- mapping software – Recommended for more dynamicity)
2. P – Priming – Retrieve the active-recall question in a Notebook
3. F – Feedback – Take feedback from original source on what was missed → Score it → Mark the missed content with a different colour
4. MM – Mental model – Rearrange the modified data in form of a structured Sir Cornell’s table to have order control and remove framing bias
5. TE – Tabular form of encoding – Form tabular form of Sir Cornell’s table. Use Chat-gpt through prompt to form a Sir Cornell’s table as per defined rows and columns (This maybe a little passive but hold on!)
Now, is the time for retrospective retrieval –
- Chuck the data into Anki with your predefined questions and forming new questions on topics you didn’t get right.
- Form prompt in Chat-gpt with the formed NiceMind question to frame active – recall questions according to Sir Bloom’s taxonomy and Sir Solo’s taxonomy. Add the questions in Anki on topics you didn’t get right through reframing the question to connect larger neural networks
Anki will be the final resource that you will be going through in the end.
Things to take care of while learning –
- Avoid fluency illusion at all cost i.e rereading, summarising, highlighting or recognition based recall. This means you are actually seeing a coin and agreeing to you can draw it without looking at it when you cannot. So, higher order of retrospective retrieval is the key
- S. I. R – Follow spaced – interleaved – retrieval method while learning
- REBIM – Removal of repetitive execution beyond initial mastery. This is when you are retrieving the same order of Sir Bloom’s taxonomy and Sir Solo’s taxonomy and not progressing above it
Happy learning..
