No.06 Application Over Recall

A large amount of learning experiences test memory or “How much we know” but learning is more than just acquiring knowledge. Instead, we need to focus on application or “How much we can do”.

With large amounts of knowledge accessible to us at the click of a button, what we do with that information has become more important.

Example:

• Instead of focusing on memorising different formulae in algebra, focus on the real-life applications of the same

• Instead of getting your learners to memorise the definition of Archimedes Principle, ask them what would happen if it didn't exist?
