Are nearly 90% of the learning methods taught in schools wrong?
School teachers are professionals who teach learning, but they are by no means professionals who teach the process of learning.
When you were in school, did you ever draw a line with a highlighter on an important point or read your textbook over and over before a test?
Yes, I have! I, Kidaoka, mainly used this learning method.
But actually, to my surprise, it has been scientifically proven that this learning method does not stick in the brain's memory.
▼ Mr. DaiGo, a well-known mentalist, also suggests, "Don't underline one of the study methods you should not do.
Just drawing a line makes your brain happy.
Just sorting through the "important information" doesn't make the brain think, "This content is worth remembering."
Therefore, the marked information itself is not imprinted on the brain.
Many psychologists call highlighting and underlining "just a distraction.

Drawing marker lines only makes you think you understand?
When you read a textbook or reference book and draw a marker line, the human brain feels as if it understands the content and is unable to concentrate.
John Dunlosky, an associate professor of psychology at Kent State University who specializes in learning methods, suggests that students who only read and marker or read reference books have little understanding of the content when tested.

Here are some inefficient learning methods that we have been practicing without realizing it.
There are many cases of learning methods that have been known for a long time, but which had little or no effect when scientifically tested and verified.
Here are some study methods that are generally recommended by the public, but are in fact inefficient from a scientific point of view.
1. underlining study
2. cramming in one night's cramming
3.Rereading textbooks and reference books over and over again
Underlining is not effective
As explained a little earlier, the brain is satisfied with just drawing a line in the underline learning method.
In order to fix the memory in the brain, it is much more effective to make flashcards like a so-called vocabulary book and repeat tests and checks more and more than to draw a marker.
Overnight cramming study
You would think that the brain is resting well during sleep, but in fact, during sleep, the brain is very active and has been shown to be strongly related to memory.
During sleep, it is converting short-term memory into long-term memory, or memory that you will never forget.
When you study all night, you don't have time to consolidate your memories, so you forget them quickly. Sleeping after studying helps to consolidate the memory. Recently, however, it is believed that even during non-REM sleep, when the brain is resting, it may be organizing memories.

⇒ Effective Learning Methods Based on the Brain's Memory Mechanism
Mainly input-based learning using textbooks and reference books has a low retention rate
As we have already mentioned, memories are retained when they are recalled many times.
Reading the same textbook over and over again does not lead to memorization or retention of memory because there is no recall process at all.

This is where the difference in learning is determined!
If you are going to study, you want to advance memorization to be able to remember a lot of knowledge or get as high a score as possible in the same amount of study time.
There are many learning methods that focus mainly on memorization, but many of them have no scientific basis or low evidence.
Here we will explain the mechanism of brain memory and memorization techniques that have been well proven in research with examples!
Learn about the brain's memory mechanism!
How can you memorize reliably and efficiently when you have to memorize something, such as an exam or test that is coming up in front of you?
The key to efficient memorization is to understand and use the mechanism by which the brain memorizes things and knowledge.
Human memory is retained not when we remember, but when we recall
Memory is strengthened when a person's brain recalls something after forgetting it!
Have you ever tried your best to study, but felt frustrated because you could not remember what you had learned, or could not remember on the day of a test?
Have you ever heard of the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve?
Ebbinghaus is a psychologist who is famous for showing how human memory changes over time.
People are forgetful creatures.
We forget less than 70% in a day. What if you are a "learner"?
How well do you remember what you learned in school in the past? People are incredibly forgetful creatures.
Three ways to ensure memory retention
Here are some specific methods that have been shown to work from memory and brain research.
The key to reliable and efficient memorization is to make sure that the method of recall is scientifically correct!
1. using vocabulary cards
Efficient memorization is a process of "forgetting and remembering" over and over again.
By recalling the information over and over again, the brain feels that the information is important and should not be forgotten, which leads to secure memorization!
The study method of repeatedly remembering has been overwhelmingly successful in actual experiments.
In a study conducted by Tufts University in Massachusetts, USA, on 120 students, a comparison was made between a group that simply read the text back and a group that took the words in test format.
The results showed that the group that memorized the words in a test format reported a higher retention rate of 501 TP3T.
Memorization methods that involve repeated recall, such as using word cards, are also called retrieval exercises, and are scientifically based methods of memorization that lead to memory retention.
2. solving practice exams and tests
Mock exams and tests are another well-known method of memorization that ensures higher grades!
While word cards limit the number of letters you can write and what you can memorize, mock examinations and tests can be administered without worrying about the number of letters.
Most study at school is basically passive, such as listening to classes and lectures, looking at textbooks, etc. In contrast, mock examinations and tests are more passive.
In contrast, in mock exams and tests, you have to use your mind and think for yourself in order to move forward.
3. Summarize what you have learned
Summarizing means writing a brief summary of what the writer wants to say in the text.
When you are able to extract the meaning from a long and difficult sentence in a simpler and easier-to-understand manner, your reading speed and comprehension of the text will improve.
It is even more effective to review what you have learned by quizzing yourself!
You can check your understanding or lack of knowledge of the content.
