I was interested in the FREE RECALL active learning method that was implemented by the researchers Comparing it to the "study-repeat" method which was revealed to be a worse learning methodbrbrAn example of a bad active learning experience is the implementation of games that does not affect the overall learning of the students These supposedly active learning games are just a waste of time because there is no true learning occurring In contrast, a good active learning experience for me is going through the three phases of AL because it really immerses your whole focus and attention to the lesson It gives a sense of importance because of the "recall, application and practice" part, not reducing the actual knowledge to a boring uninteresting thing which was constantly being done by terrible teachers

I was surprised at how useful forming an opinion, before finding out the answer, was in helping you learn It makes sense though I was also surprised that word searches were not useful! Thank you for the definition of what an expert was That makes a lot of sense

I have subscribed to your channel, Dr Benjamin The thing that surprised me the most is to learn about active learning in a systematic way For the first time I've known how passive and active learning are so different Also this video works as a reminder I should be more active in my learning and tell others to do the same

1) Nothing in particular surprised me, I'm a few dozens of meters in my deep dive into this field/topic lololbr2) My best active learning experience was when in Japan, I was surrounded by the language and it was getting into my brain in a much more active way, since I was interracting with it and it's not like I could ignore it lol

For me, the thing that I was most fascinated by was what you described to be the two ways students have to reason in the 4th class -- which fit nicely into my background knowledge of analytic philosophy:brbrJonanthan Schaffer talks about how most, if not all things take a three-part structure of basis, link, result (you can learn more in his lecture on YouTube, "Beyond Fundamentality") What students seem to be learning when they're reasoning "both ways" is what's called a determination relation (reasoning from geological forces to the resulting rock formations) and an explanation relation (reasoning from the rocks to what forces are necessary preconditions for them existing)brbrBoth determination and explanation relations go into defining something comprehensively, so when students understand each component well, they'll understand the learning material exceptionally well This is because they're literally acquiring (in a high-quality manner) all the essential semantic information about what a given thing actually is

It's been really hard to change my old ways of studying I still fall in the same habit of just memorizing information instead of asking myself if I really understood it I want to test myself more and gain more knowledge at the course of this semester
Comment from : Ana Beatriz Spiecker

I can't remember one teacher who taught like that
Comment from : Rick Fleischer

Is this correct? Passive learning is reading or watching done in order to acquire knowledge Active learning is practicing retrieval and application of knowledge done in order to deepen understanding and to increase long term memory But active learning cannot be done without first engaging in some passive learning--otherwise one has no knowledge to retrieve It's not that one is better than the other, but that one needs to go beyond just passive learning

What I learnt from this video was that a good active learning strategy requires you to br brorganize knowledge br brrecall and apply knowledge br brpractice what you've learnt br br br brI can't think of a specific bad experience that I have had, but I will say that I was the type to re-read, highlight, and jot down notes and never review either the stuff I highlighted or the notes that I took
Comment from : Aritul

What stood out to me most was the fact of how making predictions improves the learning When I was young, whenever a teacher asked what we thought might happen if, I just thought it was a useless introduction to the real learning, you know, don't tell me what you're GOING to say, just SAY it!!! Now I know the wisdom of itbrbrFor me, and this may not be shared by many people, I really needed to know the why of things in active learning, basically the metacognition of it, even long before I knew the term To me so much of my childhood and life in school was just doing what I was told, following orders It reminds me of Planet of the Apes where the apes were told "DO!" That's what I felt like much of the time I didn't know why I was doing what I was told to do It would have helped me if, from time to time, I was told the why This is why we're organizing the material this way This is why we're comparing and contrasting these items This is why we're taking a test on this (not just for a grade or to see whether you're smart or stupid) I don't think I would have felt like I did for much of the time, just a sheep or cow being herded through the stalls to the invariable slaughter house of adulthood

From this video i've learnt that Organized structures requires making connections, relationships among ideas/info we learn; Recall and apply requires having comparison among ideas So making connections, comparisons is higher level of learning in Bloom's taxonomy I used to learn SQL- a query language for data by learning code casually along with tutorials, that's why i forgot it quickly and had to study once again, now i thought I should apply right learning method to learn it and store it in long-term memory
Comment from : Châu Diệp

its was goood experience to learn and for my surprise that I was actually doing passive learning thinking that I'm learning actively, the variations between both are so much differ in levels and I consider this as a bad experience in my life but I learned a lot and learning by the way, thank you Benjamin for your videos and entertainment and love your voice bro

I realized you applied the three types of active learning in your video on how to study for finals
Comment from : Sleeper

What is the best study technique, that would apply reorganizing, active recall, and practice?
Comment from : Jakie Teves

As a high school teacher looking to improve pupil performance, the idea I found most surprising is how poorly our 1 hour, single objective lessons fit the ideas that you've outlined here I'm now planning on designing lessons differently, in blocks, where each each lesson is split in to 2-3 sessions allowing students to observe and organize new concepts, compare and contrast concepts previously introduced and finally, evaluate and predict concepts that were introduced a few lessons ago brbrI used to think that getting pupils to take their own notes and convert into mind maps was a good form of active learning, as it required students to think about converting large amounts of text in to smaller, shaper descriptions However, this is only 1 of the 3 requirements you have outlined, and so mindmaps need to be used as part of a wider learning experiencebrbrReally enjoying your channel, your content is really making me think about how I structure and teach my lessonsbrbrSubscribed & liked

Comment from : Ismail Abdulle

i) i noticed with keen interest how practical coherent book shelves seembrii) a spontaneous group work with neither clear tasks nor time frame i found rather futile, reminding me of your statistic teacher's approach
Comment from : AFGautonompunk

Heyy, I've been looking for content on "The Right kind of Practice"brbrWhich of your videos might you recommend for the above? :obrbrBasically, I really want to focus on performance and procedural memory, or at higher-order thinking skills that help improve performance, especially in the long-run
Comment from : Uzair

For me the most interesting learning experience was studying physics through “magic” That’s why I think videos like “what if earth was donut-shaped” are the best You aren’t just told that gravity is mg or whatever, it makes you think of consequences, of all different variations It’s the opposite of “perfect spheres in a vacuum” that doesn’t actually behave how we see it It’s effing galaxy brain 🌌 🧠
Comment from : animanya

Surprise: Thinking back on effective classes how much they relied on students generating hypotheses before the real information was revealed to thembrBad Experience: Group activities in which the solution can be gained by means other than deep understanding of the topic, or projects for which much of the grading was about something other than understanding of the topic (like aesthetics)
Comment from : M Winston

Hi Benjamin, can you do a video on if memory training can improve the performance of being able to retain/decipher new information Experts like Nelson Dellis, Alex Mullen come to mind?
Comment from : Will

Very useful information Thank you!

1 Nothing surprising because I have watched videos and read books on active learning for years Did help me organise the different types better in my head, thoughbrbr2 My geography teacher was the most boring human being that ever existed I'll put folding money on that outcome There was only one textbook in the room and he held it He would write the chapter on the board and we had to write it into our jotters To stay awake I learned to connect my eyes directly to the hand holding the pencil so that I could spend the time planning to build a submarine No idea how I scraped pass in Geography O level
Comment from : Kevin Kelly

I didn't know that all those techniques were active learningbrA bad experience with active learning is that I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ORGANIZE MY KNOWLEDGE, for example I try to do mind maps while studying history to make connections with each other and engage my brain more but I just can't organize the mind maps or write only the important things and not copy the whole textbook because I'm afraid that when I come revise it and some of the things that should just come to my mind automatically seeing the map just won't come At the end I just revise from the book because the mind map was confusing Or the fact that it takes too much of my time brThe good experience was when I realized that unknowingly I was applying active learning in maths because I never studied it but applied everything explained by the teacher in problems and even if it was hard at first but little by little it imprinted itself in my mind and it became just a piece of cakebrSorry I sort of ranted all my frustrations :)
Comment from : Rimi Sharif

What is the difference between apply and practice and how are the stages different for conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge? I would assume for procedural knowledge practice would be more important than in conceptual knowledge
Comment from : patrick dhatt

"they´re not rocks they are minerals"brbrsubbed, i hope that channel growsbrsome problems in my study - i see a topic that im unfamiliar with, most information have a neutral value for me - in the test it turns out that the info i skipped actually was important (like a picture annotation or some half sentence)
Comment from : Pedro Ewert

If organization is important, is concept mapping done the right way not the best encoding technique?
Comment from : The Good Life

Can we apply active learning for learning a sport or a musical instrument? Or is it just for students and academic subjects?brPlease reply 🌹
