LLN Learning Strategies 2

Question 1

Which study technique requires the learner to actively recall information rather than simply re-reading it?

Accepted Answer

Practice testing — quizzing yourself on the material

Answer

Practice testing (active recall) requires retrieving information from memory, which strengthens retention far more than passive review.

Question 2

What is 'metacognition' in the context of learning strategies?

Accepted Answer

Thinking about and monitoring your own understanding and learning process

Answer

Metacognition is the awareness and understanding of one's own thought and learning processes.

Question 3

A learner struggles with a new task and starts to feel frustrated. Which response best supports continued learning?

Accepted Answer

Take a short break, then return with a specific smaller sub-goal

Answer

A short break followed by breaking the task into a smaller, more manageable sub-goal helps rebuild momentum without abandoning the task.

Question 4

Which resource is generally most useful when a learner doesn't understand a concept after the first explanation?

Accepted Answer

Seeking a second explanation using a different method, such as a diagram or example

Answer

A different explanation method (visual, example-based, hands-on) often clarifies a concept that one format alone did not.

Question 5

Why is it useful to connect new information to something you already know?

Accepted Answer

It creates stronger memory associations, making the new information easier to recall

Answer

Linking new information to existing knowledge creates stronger, more retrievable memory connections.
