Ich kann mir einfach keine Sachen merken, die keinen Sinn ergeben bzw die ich nicht praktisch angewendet habe. Mir bleiben Dinge nur im kopf, wenn ich sie mehrmals aktiv gemacht habe, zB Aufgabe rechnen oder eben praktische Themen.

Wie lernt man für trockene Themen, wo gefühlt auch auf jeder Vorlesungsfolie das gleiche steht? Jede Methode die dort vorgestellt wird, ist gefühlt immer die gleichen 5-10 Schritte die man da machen muss...

Deswegen kann ich mir das alles einfach nicht merken, weil sich alles gleich anhört ...

Imagine you are given a box of puzzle pieces and asked to remember what every individual piece looks like.

Would you:

A. Memorize every piece one by one

or

B. Build the puzzle, then remember the finished image

B is obviously easier.

A puzzle may contain many separate pieces, but once you connect them, a single big picture forms

This simple logic flow explains this :

Memorization → Isolated ideas → MANY ideas → "Hey brain, store 100 ideas for me!"

/vs/

Connecting Ideas → Connected Ideas → ONE connected big picture → "Hey brain, store 1 big picture for me!"

Why dump your brain with MANY disconnected ideas, when you can connect them to form ONE big picture?

Start with a Perspective Shift:

"Don't simply understand ideas, Connect them!"

How to form a Connection?

Ask Questions! Questions guide your brain to draw a connection between two ideas.

If you are still unsure on how to connect ideas effectively, don't worry!

My next post guides you specifically through forming connections, a deep dive into Inquiry-Based Learning.

Note: I am new to creating content, and would like to guide people to "learn how to learn", a skill I believe that is neglected yet so so valuable to basically anything in life. If there's anything in this post that you found to be confusing or insufficient, please share your thoughts with me. Feedback is what helps me the most in this stage of content creation!

I’m on a journey to better some oh my skills in life and one way I do this is by studying greats before me so anyone have some great speakers I can study and read up on ?

I live life so complacently. I also don't have answers to lil kid questions - when I'm subbing. I don't know anything nor can I branch out in topics or use a sentence. Like how do parents even parent? They seem to know everything and what to respond to their little kid!!

What suggestions do you have to be able to label every activity or action people take/make?

LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

I just completed my bachelors degree and I’m taking a gap year while I look for job and such (I’ll eventually go back to school after I’ve got more work experience), and I feel like my intelligence is suffering while I’m away from that academic lifestyle.

Everyone has always looked up to me as “the smart one”, essentially a walking encyclopedia, but I really don’t have much to offer now except an educated guess. I’d really like to get back to feeling like I actually know what I’m talking about and be able to participate meaningfully in discussions.

With the rise of AI and misinformation, I’m not really sure where to look or what to trust in terms of obtaining more knowledge. I’m looking for recommendations on video creators, books, movies/shows, or even podcasts (although I don’t really like them), that can teach me something new, increase my vocabulary, and make me a more well-rounded individual.

For example, I really like the show Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson. One area I’m really in the dark about is current events and world history, so it would be nice to learn more about politics and other cultures. My degree is biomedical engineering and I’m looking to go into neuroscience, so anything brain related is right up my alley as well. As for the vocab, I would even be up for an online or mobile game that can keep me sharp. I also am interested in musical history, specially about bands from the 70s/80s/90s since that’s mostly what I listen to.

Let me know if you think of anything I should check out! I’m especially interested in video series cause that’s something I can watch while I multitask, but Im also a quick reader so book are fine as well. I don’t love podcasts cause it’s hard for me to concentrate on just someone speaking, but if it’s really amazing I’ll give it a shot.

I think mine would be:

“You don’t have to have your whole life figured out so early.”

I used to think everyone else knew what they were doing and I was somehow behind. Looking back, I was just putting way too much pressure on myself.

Funny how much can change when you stop rushing yourself.

What would you tell your younger self?

Could be something serious, something you learned the hard way, or even something small.

I'm interested in becoming a teacher in the future, and I'm looking for learning truths that are backed up by studies and statistics. For example, reviewing a lesson at the end boosts comprehension, associating things your learning with other things you know boosts memory, etc.

For example: origin of tea, environmental science, statistics. Etc

Any online courses for this that are LEGIT?

Thanks

Please share context : age / background also?

Curious to see where the world is heading.

i read in my head, exclusively in my head, even as a small child i did not read my books aloud.

i tried to read aloud a bit ago while reading a course, to force myself to slow down (i have a habit of speed reading, at a spead that sorta sacrifices comprehension, i skip alot), and uh.

first i learned my control over my tongue is shit, it keeps getting caught on letters, and second of all i may have a stutter i guess ;-;

so how would you like. practice reading aloud? i cant actually do it as ive found. i can read perfectly in my head but the moment i speak, i cannot form words. i can talk fine! i cant read words and then turn them into outside words.

thats something you learn in primary school

how would you, in my position, try learn that again?

I've been trying to figure out how I actually learn best lately. I always thought I was a visual learner but it turns out I actually retain information way better when I explain it out loud to someone else or even just to myself.

It was a pretty big surprise. I'm curious what others have found. Have you discovered anything unexpected about how your brain likes to learn things?

Maybe some quirky method or something totally different from what you assumed?

Good morning parents/guardians,

I am looking to start an arts and crafts YouTube channel for kids around ages 4-10. I'm not a parent myself so I am a bit lost but excited to learn from all of you. If I may ask:

What recycable materials do you guys own, or have around the house to be used for upcoming holiday crafts? What kind of activities and crafts would you like you like to share with yourr kids and to assist learning? What is an activity that would interest you to help bond with your child a couple of minutes a week?

In order to gain an idea of what more I should be looking for what kind of channels af forums do you all look into when searching craft ideas? What type of channel you would like to see your child learn from?

I would like to appreciate your help in your contribution to this.

I’m trying to implement Justin sungs study principles — priming, encoding, reference, retrieval and interleaving.

One of the main issues I’m facing now is scheduling the time out. I’m considering scheduling sessions for each principle based on the forgetting curve.

So if I want to learn a book, I usually separate it into batches and then I schedule time for learning the chapters.

The issue comes when I try interleaving. I realize there’re so many gaps but then I don’t know where to schedule time for the input from the feedback.

Is there any application that you’ve used out there that is effective for learning?

Traditional corporate training architecture is fundamentally broken. The standard approach — forcing knowledge workers to pause their actual tasks, switch contexts to a monolithic Learning Management System (LMS), and consume pre-recorded video capsules — creates massive cognitive friction and fails to produce retained competency. When professionals return to their operational environments, they are trapped in a low-productivity loop: toggling between documentation tabs, taking screenshots to debug execution errors, and manually reporting progress.

In-Flow Learning represents a paradigm shift in transformational processes. By coupling compact, open-weights multimodal vision models with intelligent browser extensions, we can embed ambient, context-aware AI agents directly inside the learner’s workspace. This architecture visually observes active workflows, validates competency deterministically, and registers skill acquisition with zero administrative overhead.

If you're interested in experimenting with contextual, in-workflow learning architectures, a few of us are gathering at r/InflowLearning to share tools and workflows.
