- testing yourself on the material - writing down questions and testing yourself after learning - engage ur self dont peek at answers - teaching someone else without your notes -doing past papers and check answers to see where u went wrong - not just copying answers - figure out where u went wrong before looking at answers - dont immediately look thru work solution ,understand it - pause videos when trying a question - do not watch educational video just for the answers - hands on . pause video and try to write down everything u rmb - dont copy from video and not understand a thing - scheming and trying it to do ur self
when u r looking at the anwerss after putting it all down, do you write what you missed or just look at it and learn it mentally then re try and repeat, or do u write what u missed and relearn it
Hi Sinead, I'm an old guy who is returning to study. This is such refreshing info and you present it in a refreshing way. I used to highlight notes wanting the info to enter by osmosis. Just passive learning at its best. But now with your great presentation I've got a new approach - which seems obvious - but not to me. It's a great idea. Thanks for your inspiring and funny video!
Omg I was struggling on how to use active recall the right way vs the wrong way. And I am a visual learner and need example so thank so much for making this video. Subscribed ☺️✅
I think I finally understand so in class you know how we just copy what the teacher write on our notes. So active recall will be instead of copying what the teacher is saying or write you try and write what you learned or what you heard.
You don't know what you have just done for me. I have been finding it difficult to remember what I learn, I remember the was a period of six weeks where I just passively received information but today all that has changed. Thank you so much ❤️ I'm definitely a new subiii💃💃💃
Why have I discovered this at 31? Really nice video!! I am glad that you are doing this at such a young age. How long have you been using active recall? How come that you started using it?
I have to add a comment, this video is so underrated I'm gonna apply these techniques for my revisions! Thank you so much for your explanation of what active recall is !🥰
Yes Sinead.....this was really helpful 👍🏻.... actually ,this is the only video which is describing it properly...... others are just about introduction to this concept of learning... 💐
Oof turns out I've been doing this ! until my second term i hadn't even opened a page of ONE BOOK NOT EVEN ONE ! and then i started studying from scratch two thrrr days before and i used to dothis method! Just started studying two three days before and i didn't know ONE thing then i just got54% in total! Yeah ik 54% is very low but for me it was a huge progress ! Slowlywill get to 90% i bet !
Thank you... I saw many videos about this but i was super confused how u can actually use it... I thought it was just mapping and visualising U helped me, thank u ♥
Hi!this video is really very useful..I'm very clear after watching your video that how to apply active listening in practical subjects..You are telling to make questions and recollect often for theory subjects..My syllabus is too vast and it takes longer time to prepare questions..Is there any alternative??I really owe to u if u share some tips for me!
Every syllabus is vast and long, it’s about looking what’s on the exam and formulating questions that will most optimism for allowing u to remember what you need to remember. The process of making questions is also good studying.
If you repeat it passively then yeah it will not be efficient, but repetition with active recall is very efficient and will dramatically increase your retention. Hope this helps :).
Thanks for previous reply.. I'm facing headache problem while recalling information, what does this mean ? Please tell... And what to do in such situations..this is the 3rd time I'm facing headache after practicing from past 2-3 weeks.. I'm taking proper sleep ,have proper eye specs.. You being a science student may be aware of this.. please
I also get headaches if I do too much active recall at once. I’ve learnt my lesson and now I only do max 25 mins of active recall before having a rigorous exercise break of about 5 minutes, and I also try to mic active recall with other more passive work o have to do
Can anyone tell me if writing notes, reading them and then looking on a different page without the notes to recall the information counts as active recall?
Does writing questions and then hiding the answer with a paper work as active recall? What I do after I watch a lecture is write questions on my Ipad then the answer and when I review the subject I hide the answer with a paper and try to answer it and then I check if I’m right or not! Is this active recal?? Or do the questions have to be random ???
Thank you for making this video..but tell me is there any way through which brain recalls information faster..exams are near by and there's lot to learn...
@@studysinead7804 I do face headaches while recalling information, what does this mean ? Please tell... And what to do in such situations.. You being a science student may be aware of this.. please
How to actively read? Specially for the first time. And What if I don’t know answer for a question and I know even when I look into answer, I can’t recall it again after a minute. Specially it’s a problem for me remembering lengthy institute and scientific names. Please help.
Active reading is going to depend on what you need to remember. If there are concepts then you need to absorb, talking yourself through them, and notes on your personal thoughts can help. If you are forgetting the answer to a question a minute later is all a matter of repitition. You have to test, and then test again over periods of time to get it. If you need to remember lengthy institute and scientific names, then flash cards seem the way to go if you really need to know them. Do them over a period of time to nail down the details.
@@studysinead7804 I use to recall it again and again on the same day until i get frustrated instead of spacing them out. this use to disappoint me when i was unable to recall on the next day, even though i repeated it n number of times. so it's OK to be forgotten so that i can regain it back on long repetition session. thank you so much.
@@Why_is_gamora forgetting is part of the process! The more effort it takes to recall the more it will stick. Repeatedly doing the same flash cards won’t be as effective as spacing out testing over time. :)
So my teacher has lectures online and we have to listen to her, her lectures are 50 mins just reading from the slide. Should I write questions for each slides while she’s going through each lecture slide.
1. go thru ur material 2. get a question bank (or make one urself while going thru the material) 3. close the textbook & all the materials 4. answer the questions
I disagree on one thing: learning should be easy. Think of Harry Potter. You memorized all the name of the characters without effort/struggle. Why? Because it was fun and fun is emotion and when it comes to learning, emotion is glue. It's the thing that anchors your knowledge to your brain.
I would agree that emotion can accelerate learning however not all educational content is presented in an emotionally engaging way. And there will inevitably be subjects which you like less than others. Emotion is a huge plus but Active learning, is the key to learning. And whilst active learning can be fun, but it’s not always easy as it require cognitive effort. That does not mean that you should struggle. Being a competitive athlete can be fun if your enjoy the sport but no one would say it is easy as it takes effort. If you are enjoying the subject then you will naturally put in effort and it will seem less hard and be more fun. But I’m pretty sure any path to learning will have ups and downs. Thank you for you input!
@@studysinead7804 ''not all educational content is presented in an emotionally engaging way'' = wrong way to see it. What matters is not how they present it, but how you learn it. That is, you have to generate emotions/fun on your own. How? Enters GAMIFICATION. You need to turn everything into a game (quiz with rewards, points or wtv) and that's the trick to generate the emotional glue with any type of material you're trying to learn.
@@cambodianriverpig7613 In the beginning is what I’m referring to. That does not mean you cannot flip it to make it emotionally engaging. But, it still requires extra effort to make it fun. Doesn’t mean you have to struggle, just means it does require effort. I don’t think anyone who scored well in the IB or academia would said it was easy, even if they have a fun time doing it and enjoyed the process, it was still hard. The point is most popular learning techniques used by students are passive techniques, rereading, highlighting etc. And students may feel dumb if they are stuck at parts that are difficult during active learning. But it is active learning, and adding emotion can help make it active, which is inevitably going to accelerate learning. The difference between passive and active learning is that this requires a little more effort, and so it’s okay if it feels hard sometimes as this is all just part of the process.
@@studysinead7804 If something feels fun and you're excited about it (e.g. creating a game for testing yourself) = no effort and no struggle. That's the entire point. When things are made fun, it doesn't feel like work/hard. Read ''The Straight-A Conspiracy'' by Hunter Maats. Anyways, your video is actually the best on how to apply active recall. You actually show how it's done. Many thanks and good luck!
I think this is a little controversial, but it has to be said: the mitochondria ARE the powerhouse of the cell; the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell.
- testing yourself on the material
- writing down questions and testing yourself after learning
- engage ur self dont peek at answers
- teaching someone else without your notes
-doing past papers and check answers to see where u went wrong
- not just copying answers
- figure out where u went wrong before looking at answers
- dont immediately look thru work solution ,understand it
- pause videos when trying a question
- do not watch educational video just for the answers
- hands on . pause video and try to write down everything u rmb
- dont copy from video and not understand a thing
- scheming and trying it to do ur self
I copied your comments and put them into a word docx. I called it "Active Recall - Practical Usage". Thanks for your post.
when u r looking at the anwerss after putting it all down, do you write what you missed or just look at it and learn it mentally then re try and repeat, or do u write what u missed and relearn it
SOMEONE EXPLAINS IT FINALLY
Nobody has ever explained how to do this with Essay Subjects and I'm so thankful for this 🙏❤

One of the worthiest content in youtube
I AGREE!
I thought this said worst and I was like wth but then I reread it😂
Much needed. Thanks for simplifying.
