Relation between the facilitators and the students. The word ‘Relation’ is very simple and it is established without anyone’s effort. Here, we need to understand the complexity of carrying the responsibility of established relationship.

Strategies for successful study Reading Working memory, expertise & retrieval structures Reading is not a simple word recognition skill, but a multilayered process that includes the building of mental models. These mental models provide retrieval structures that enable you to transcend the limits of working memory. In a 1987 experiment, readers were presented with a text that included one or other of these sentences: After doing a few warm-up exercises, Sam put on his sweatshirt and began jogging. or After doing a few warm-up exercises, Sam took off his sweatshirt and began jogging. Both texts went on to say: Sam jogged halfway around the lake. After reading the text, readers were asked if the word sweatshirt had appeared in the story. Now here is the fascinating and highly significant result: those who read that Sam had put on a sweatshirt responded “yes” more quickly than those who had read that he had taken off his sweatshirt. Why is this so significant? Bec...

Desirable difficulty for effective learning Confusion can be a useful part of the learning process, as long as it is relevant and resolvable. This is an example of a desirable difficulty — a difficulty that helps learning by encouraging the learner to greater efforts. However, desirable difficulties have to be at just the right level of difficulty to be effective. When we are presented with new information, we try and connect it to information we already hold. This is automatic. Sometimes the information fits in easily; other times the fit is more difficult — perhaps because some of our old information is wrong, or perhaps because we lack some of the knowledge we need to fit them together. When we're confronted by contradictory information, our first reaction is usually surprise. But if the surprise continues, with the contradictions perhaps increasing, or at any rate becoming no closer to being resolved, then our emotional reaction turns to confusion. Confusion is ve...

Should learning facts by rote be central to education? Is memorization a vital part of education? If 'facts' keep on changing, is there any point to learning them? No, and yes. Growing expertise requires the building of a network of concepts that are very well and deeply connected. Such a structure can withstand the updating of some concepts, but does require the learning of a lot of concepts experienced in many contexts. Memorization by rote, however, is rarely an effective strategy. Michael Gove, the British Education Minister, is reported as saying that ‘Learning facts by rote should be a central part of the school experience’, a philosophy which apparently underpins his shakeup of school exams. Arguing that “memorisation is a necessary precondition of understanding”, he believes that exams that require students to memorize quantities of material ‘promote motivation, solidify knowledge, and guarantee standards'. Let’s start with one sturdy argument: “Only whe...
