“Learning to learn better is a powerful tool that should
be in every students’, or even professionals’ toolkit

learning techniques based on peer-reviewed
research.”

We will talk more about learning strategies, but perhaps more importantly, think more about your regulation of learning

#1 look at screen (context, making connections) Odd got to practice it
• It doesn’t matter how much time you spend reading if you don’t practice
•Better able to recall if you practice retrieving information from your memory (it is in there!)

RE-READING doesn’t help!
Presentation Notes
when going over powerpoint slides, when the slides are ready they just read the slides again what you should do is act it out, speak in their own room to friend
Practice recall
•Flashcards •Apps
•Create something yourself and you increase the value of it because you created it
Applying the Ikea Effect
Stay engaged with the material, as if you were “one on one” with the coach
• Anticipate where the topic is going • Ask questions of the material
• “what does this information remind me of?” • Guess the answer to your questions
Dialogue with the material
•Own a logbook •Jot down the granular actions you took, record the outcome

Why the difference in scores
•Practice does not make perfect
•Perfect practice makes perfect

Does this same effect apply in other areas of learning?
INTERLEAVING
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Baseball story California Polytechnic State University They asked college baseball players to practice hitting three types of pitches (fastball, curveball, and change-up), and the 45 practice pitches were either blocked by type (15 fastballs, 15 curveballs, and 15 change-ups) or interleaved (fastball, curveball, change-up, etc.). Interleaving led to superior hitting on a final test requiring batters to hit pitches of each type without knowing the type of pitch in advance, as in a real game.

Interleaving
• Interleaving is hard work • Utilizing interleaving
• brain constantly assess new information - discriminate • form new “strategy” to deal with it • train the brain - different responses, decisions, actions
• At workplace – work never comes in block • Eg. change similar tasks three times in an hour • Eg. financial reports (analyze and interpret)

Interleaving is hard work.
Our students’ experiences • 70 % recognizes that there are 5 animals added in
the second group
• Very few can recall & name all the animals shown in the first and second group
• What does this mean?
• That doesn’t mean we’ll be able to recall it later
• “I thought I knew it!” • If you simply re-read, you are just reinforcing
that it’s been seen before • But you may not be able to remember it on the
test • Re-reading is not a good learning strategy
**e.g. meetings presentation slides

We are very good at recognizing if something is new/old That doesn’t mean we’ll be able to recall it later If you simply re-read your notes, you are just reinforcing that it’s old But you may not be able to remember it on the test Re-reading notes is not a good study strategy
WRAP UP
WHAT GOT YOU HERE, MIGHT NOT GET YOU THERE
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Being hired by NUS is already a sign of strength and that you are of a certain calibre, but that doesn’t mean that what got you into NUS will help you continue to perform at the next level when you are seeking promotion within NUS. Finding a sustainable way to continue to work
Strategic Approach: Practical Tips
• Your old techniques may not be as effective or sustainable
• They don’t apply to everyone or to the same type of work
• Many different types of approaches • What is useful for one, may not be for others
Presenter
Efficiency in learning 24 hours, increase efficiency increase in performance
Our thoughts for you
• It’s not about how much effort you put in, but where you spend that effort
• Knowing where to put in the effort makes all the difference!
• The first step is to do something different
• It might be uneasy at first. But over time, you will get better at it
Story of an expert fixing a ship’s engine
“Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!”
Presenter
Presentation Notes
A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert afteranother, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was ayoung. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, heimmediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top tobottom.Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would knowwhat to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag andpulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the enginelurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousanddollars. "What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."The man sent a bill that read:Tapping with a hammer....................... $ 2.00Knowing where to tap.......................... $ 9,998.00*Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all thedifference!*
