Fluency vs Mastery
Being familiar with the content vs
Having a deeper understanding of the content
“The ability to distill key ideas from a text, organize them into a mental model, and relate the model to what one already knows is called structure building, and this skill contributes to
concept learning and complex mastery.”
Active retrieval
Test yourself on what you have learnt so far. Quiz yourself (Often)
Pause - and ask, what have I learnt so far? Write down 3 things you remember.
interleaved curve
Interleaved practice. (Rather than practicing curve ball, curve ball, curve ball for 30 mins,
practice 10 mins of curve ball, 10 mins of speed ball, 10 mins of reverse ball.)
Spaced repetition.
“Interleaving two or more subjects during practice provides a form of spacing and can
improve your ability to discriminate later between different kinds of problems and
select the right solutions.”
Ebbinghaus Curve of Forgetting
elaboration
Check if you can describe an idea in your own words. It’s better than just reviewing.
Connect the dots with your own experiences. Personalize.
mindset
It’s all about the mindset. Book: Mindset by Carol Dweck.
Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset
“Evidence suggests the path to expert performance may rely more on discipline and persistence
than on genetic gifts.”
Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t -you are right.
