Focus on the relevance of what you're
learning
Research shows that when learning is
relevant, students are able to connect.
what they're learning to what they already know and build new neural connections and long-term memory storage. So if you want your learning to be
engaging and to be able to remember
it in other contexts, it's important to
establish relevance early on. Think
about how you might apply what you're
learning today in your future job or
everyday life and then try to tie it to some
of your short or long-term goals.
For instance, if one of your long-term
goals is to land a job in IT, focusing on
how your course will help you reach that
goal can make even the most tedious
study material seem more engaging,
because you understand that it's
important to your future goals.
2. Take time to reflect and self-explain Before you can transfer knowledge to new contexts, you need to understand the concept inside and out, which is why it's important to take time for reflection and self-explanation. Research shows that self-explanation can help you to identify any incorrect assumptions,
lead to a deeper understanding of
the material, and ultimately promote
knowledge transfer.
So when you're learning about
something that's completely new to
you, take a moment to think about how. you would explain it in your own words, whether this means using simpler words that are easier for you to remember or finding a way to connect the new information to something you already
know by using real-world examples.
3. Use a variety of learning media
Another way to facilitate the transfer
of learning to new contexts is to use
as many different learning media as
possible, from text and imagery to video
and audio.
4. Change things up as often as possible It's easy to get stuck in a rut with your learning by studying around the same. time, in the same location, and using the same study strategies every day.
But when you get used to constantly.
studying in the same way, it can be
difficult to transfer the knowledge
you acquire to new environments and
situations.
5. Identify any gaps in your knowledge Without a complete understanding of the concept or information you're learning, transferring it to new contexts will be more difficult. With this in mind, it's important to identify any gaps in your knowledge and then work on strengthening your weaker areas,
6. Establish clear learning goals
Establishing clear learning goals will give you a better understanding of what you're trying to get out of your learning and how you might later transfer that knowledge and apply it in your work or personal life. If you know what the expected learning outcomes are, you'll also be able to focus on the right material.
7. Practise generalising
Generalising is the ability to transfer the knowledge or skills you gain in one setting to a new one. It's all about. seeing the bigger picture and looking for more widely applicable rules, ideas, or principles. For example, a child that learns to stack wooden blocks could generalise that skill and later use it to build more elaborate creations using Lego bricks.
8. Make your learning social
If much of your learning happens when you're alone, it can help to have a chance to discuss it with others. This gives you the opportunity to explain what you're learning in your own words and apply your knowledge to new situations. Research also shows that collaborative learning promotes engagement and
benefits long-term retention.
9. Use analogies and metaphors Analogies and metaphors are great for drawing on your prior knowledge or experience and making associations between seemingly unrelated ideas. So when learning something new and trying to connect it to something you already know, it can help to think of appropriate. analogies or metaphors.
10. Find daily opportunities to apply what
you've learned
Applying what you've learned at school
to real-world problems takes a lot of
practice, so it's important to look for
opportunities to apply what you're
learning in your everyday life.
