10 Ifs In 360 Degrees Of Learning

10 Ifs In 360 Degrees Of Learning

A refreshing manner in which to view learning from the author of Outsmart Your Brain.

A "declutterization" if you will.

  1. "If information is interesting, you’ll attend to it more closely.
  2. If you attend to it more closely, you will remember it better.
  3. If you remember it better, you will more likely do well on tests.
  4. If you do well on tests, you’ll have more confidence in yourself as a student.
  5. If you’re more confident, academic tasks will seem more achievable.
  6. If tasks are more achievable, you’ll procrastinate less.
  7. If you procrastinate less, you’ll keep up with your work.
  8. If you keep up with your work, you’ll know more about more topics.
  9. If you know something about a topic, new information on that subject will be easier to understand.
  10. If you understand new information, it will be more interesting."

Full circle of credit goes to Professor Daniel T. Willingham for being so instrumental in helping my students to understand "How to Outsmart Your Brain", and for many to realize how to put procrastination in the rear view mirror, a tour de force for their approach to learning...so basic, so informative, so interesting, so important.
