The learning process is not perfect and just like everything else in life, there are some traps that you could step in.
|
|
This could cost you either time or forming bad habits that require unlearning later.
|
|
|
|
The following is an exhaustive list of things to look out for.
|
|
|
|
- The presence of the material itself can fool the student thinking they already know the material. + Solution: close the material and practice self-testing.
|
|
- Overlearning: tackling the material for complete mastery for the nth time
|
|
+ Solution: simply move on once you already know the basics of the concept. + Remember [[id:df20e58b-6d38-4ace-8468-413bc708c772][Most of the work is done from smaller amount of effort]].
|
|
- Being invested in an idea that you cannot see other solutions.
|
|
+ Solution: do some occasional workshopping with related concepts or tools. + This is the reason why most of the discoveries are made either by young people or those who haven't formally trained or studied for the original field.
|
|
- Working with solutions can be a trap if you focus solely on the steps.
|
|
+ Solution: give time to focus on the bigger picture.
|
|
+ Inversely, understanding without the memorization is still bad as [[id:c0e4fb0e-68f2-4db4-8c3e-f5a7845738c3][Understanding comes first from memory]].
