Ppt on how to learn
- 2. LET US BEGIN…. Observe the word ‘learn’ Which familiar word is hiding in ‘learn’?
- 3. I LEARN YOU LEARN WE ALL LEARN TO …. Yes! You are right. Three cheers!!! The hidden word is ‘earn’. Here comes the second question. What can we earn while learning?
- 4. YOU ARE RIGHT AGAIN!! It depends on what is that we are learning and what for we are learning. We may earn … certificate, money, job, love, independence etc… but definitely we earn SATISFACTION.
- 6. I GOT YOUR ATTENTION! That is the power of food. As all of us need and love food, I decided to present my understanding in the form of a recipe. Are you ready to take the simple and easy to follow recipe for a
- 8. HERE ,WE GO! Ingredients you need: 1. a person who wants to learn 2. Pomodoro technique 3. Deliberate practice 4. Sleep 5. Chunking and interleaving
- 9. METHOD First, take a person who WANTS to learn.
- 10. TIP! While selecting this ingredient, the only essential thing you need to look for is only ‘the urge to learn’. Don’t worry if this item is damaged with procrastination.
- 11. SECOND STEP In the second step, wash the learner thoroughly using ‘pomodoro technique’ to remove procrastination.
- 12. WHY DO WE PROCRASTINATE? Our neurons in the brain feel discomfort and cause pain whenever we start a work we really rather not to do. Immediately the brain starts looking for something which eases pain and gives you pleasure at least temporarily. Obviously you are postponing the required task; in other words, you are procrastinating.
- 13. SOMETHING TO COMBAT……. What is this ‘Pomodoro’?
- 14. POMODORO Pomodoro(an Italian name for tomato) is the timer used in this technique. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It is a little, yet powerful tool to overcome procrastination, the chief enemy for a learner.
- 15. HOW TO FOLLOW? Steps to follow: 1. Set yourself a period of 25 minutes 2. Turn off all interruptions 3. Focus intently on the subject you want to learn 4. At the end, give yourself a little reward
- 16. HOW DOES ‘POMODORO’ HELP? Research suggests that the neural discomfort you experience when you start a work which you rather not to do, will soon disappear once your focus is intent on that given task. The 25 minutes of intent focus helps you not only to overcome the interruptions but also to address the problem on hand. The little reward which you give yourself at the end makes you and your brain neurons relax.
- 17. THIRD STEP In this step, add copious amounts of ‘deliberate practice’
- 18. WHY TO PRACTICE? While dealing with seemingly abstract concepts and ideas in Math and Science, you need to strengthen the neural connections that are being made during the process of learning. The more you practice, the stronger the neural patterns become and make even the abstract concepts real for you.
- 19. POOR PRACTICE VS DELIBERATE PRACTICE poor parctice Poor neural thought patterns Poor understanding Weak foundation deliberate practice Strong neural thought patterns Deep understanding Strong foundation
- 20. FOURTH STEP Mix in 8 hours of proper sleep at this point.
- 21. YES, YOU READ IT RIGHT!! I’m not kidding!!!! It’s SLEEP
- 22. WHY TO SLEEP? When you are asleep, brain cells shrink and let go the toxic substances accumulated during day time. The latest research suggests that while we are peacefully asleep our brain is busily processing the day’s information. It combs through recently formed memories, stabilizing, copying and filing them, so that they will be more useful the next day.
- 23. THAT’S NOT ALL!!! Our brain also works during slumber to find hidden relations among memories and to solve problems we were working on while awake. Many researches suggest an uninterrupted 8 hour sleep for adults. So…..sleep to your brain’s content.
- 24. WE ARE ALMOST THERE!! In this step , garnish your dish with generous amounts of techniques that help you to learn effectively. That’s it!!! Here we go!! Your dish ‘LEARNER’ is ready!!
- 25. SERVING SUGGESTION Tastes better with ‘chunking’ accompanied by ‘interleaving’ and ‘testing’.
