Hard-pressed to cover what to learn, teachers sometimes have difficulty finding time to research or devise materials on how to learn. Working on the premise that successful learning depends partly on knowing why you want to learn, the first part of this book looks at motivation. How to learn – registering, retaining, recalling, revising – is the focus of the remainder. From slicing, mind-mapping and learning styles, through mnemonics, mind pegs and the seven keys of memory, to reviewing, snowballing and recording, the art of learning is explored and demonstrated. Full of practical, fun techniques for successful learning!
