Most people believe that our brain learns automatically. But, it’s not true.
Active learning is training ourselves to be better learners, to actively take part in the learning process.
Kevin Daum is going to talk about how to take an active role in your learning.
Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic” - that means it learns all by itself. But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners - to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing five things to take an active role in your learning.
