We all have gone through traditional teaching learning environment which was teacher centric and we were subjected to lecturing. However, it is now fully realized that while listening you can not simultaneously think and learn a subject matter. While listening your mind is captive of information transmitted by lecturer.
We all realize that we learn later after trying to absorb and assimilate that information or at times with peers discussion we get a feeling of understanding.
What are the ways we learn and assimilate that information in our minds and construct the knowledge? Let us share this information for better understanding of how knowledge is created in the minds
We had to learn by heart things when we were children in school. The thing we learned was repeated so many times over and over again that you can never forget it. You also have a motor memory as well as a visual memory, short and long-term. It depends on how many hours pro day you put on learning.
I would take the example of computer science. We practice then after a certain time only, we question ourselves and look for information and sometimes even training. It's like flipped classroom teaching.Why we do it, we find some keys in this very good book by Daniel Willingham: Why Don't Students Like School? or the book by Peter C. Brown , Henry L. Roediger , and Marc A McDaniel: Make It Stick - The Science of Successful Learning.
