Clarify the definition of an effectively learning
An effective learning will enable us to achieve the following purposes:
(1) to help us pass the test with high score
(2) to help us spend less effort but still reap the optimal result
(3) to prepare solid knowledge for us in real life application
What are elements for a study?
In the nutshell, a study includes 3 elements:
Understanding
Remembering
Focus?
However, if we talk about effective learning, there is the final element which is to quickly turn the knowledge into real life project (application based on the knowledge that we have just learnt)
And what is the most important part?
Understanding is the most important element for a study, without understanding, there is no point in memorizing anything.
How do we know we understand the subject?
According to Feynman technique, If we comfortably explain to others like friends, older, younger people, that's the proof that we understood the subject thoroughly.
How do we know that we remember the information?
According to theory regarding the Forgetting curve, it is human nature to forget the information over time. So do not feel bad, everyone does forget.
How long will we forget?
Besides, the external environment impacts our ability to focus, and the level of focus is a condition for us to absorb the information into our brain. There are studies to conclude that music, relaxation can boost our effectiveness in learning.

What are challenges for learning today?
For adult people, it seems to be more difficult to sustain the learning habit, because:
We do not have time, we are busy working and many other aspects of life.?
We are interrupted all the time.
Life is fast pacing now, so our goals also change from time to time.
We are living in an era of information and social media.
How to remember what you have learned?
Understanding about the Forgetting curve, it is also a clue for us to overcome this matter, we use space repetition to improve our ability of memorizing stuff.
Every time we revisit the information, we increase our ability to memorize it better.
When I first learnt English vocabulary, I used to use Flash Cards to improve my memory on new words. I wrote English vocabulary on one side of the card and the translation to my language (Vietnamese) on the other side. So if I can remember the answer, I will move the card to next box, and vice versa, if I forget I will move the card backward.
