I’m seeing multiple people share this on my timeline, so I want to sound a warning: If you’re interested in learning for your career, these ideas are NOT AS USEFUL AS YOU MIGHT THINK. A thread of why and where to look instead.

If you want to learn how to learn, these two charts are where you should start. They are the result of a large meta-analysis of study techniques. You should skip the highlighting, summarizing, and rereading. Instead, practice, quiz & explain. Open paper: journals.sagepub.com/stoken/rbtfl/Z

While I agree w/ the main limitation you're talking about, there's another one - your point works for self-studies where it's hard to do all this stuff. While on the other hand, those techniques are helpful for us, ppl who design courses.

Fair. You’re right — I’m mostly talking about self directed learning here. Though I think if you’re a course designer, you get the best of both worlds — you get to pick and choose from both bodies of work!
