How can you transform passive learning into active learning?

Learning is not a spectator sport. I’ve been saying that for over twenty years because the human brain simply isn’t designed to effectively learn through information consumption alone. You learn better—and faster—when you create and co-create material in a method known as active learning.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share six tactical steps that can help you transform your learning from passive to active. With these six keys, you’ll learn more in less time, allowing you to achieve results you never thought possible.

Knowledge by itself isn’t power. It only becomes power when you apply and implement it—when you take action. You develop deeper understanding, helping you to connect new information with what you already know. If you’ve been struggling to take your learning to a whole new level, this episode is for you.

    I'm in Med school and ever since I started implementing as much as I could from Jim's videos, I managed to pass all my exams! I still cannot believe how far I've come thanks to this wonderful man! Thank you Jim for all your help and encouragement!
  • @coolingcovert
    For active learning:- 1) Read the information 2) Reflect on what you read 3) Record 4) Relate 5) Retrieve 6) Review or revise it time and again

    I absolutely love Jim's passion and humility. He teaches from the heart and is so relatable. He's a gift to humanity!
  • @parul_dubey
    Thank you so much for simplifying active learning 1. Read 2. Reflect 3. Record 4. Relate 5. Retrieve 6. Review
  • This should be a part of every school curriculum. Being able to learn effectively and efficiently would not only transform individual lives but society as a whole.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:26 🧠 Learning is not a spectator sport; active participation enhances learning. 00:56 ⏸️ Purposeful pauses during learning help to consolidate information. 01:36 👥 Teaching someone else solidifies your own understanding and deepens the learning process. 02:03 📚 The first "R" is Read; actively engage with the material you are trying to learn. 02:46 🤔 The second "R" is Reflect; think about what you've just read or learned. 03:28 📝 The third "R" is Record; jot down notes or summaries of what you've learned. 04:23 🗣️ The fourth "R" is Relate; share your knowledge with someone else. 05:03 🤖 The fifth "R" is Retrieval; test yourself on what you've learned. 06:42 🔄 The sixth "R" is Review; use spaced repetition to make your learning long-term. 08:47 ✈️ You are the pilot of your learning journey, not just a passive passenger. 09:28 🎁 Teaching is also a form of learning; when you teach, you get to learn the topic twice.

    Thanks Coach! No brain left behind ❤
  • Thank you so much! Read - it's when you intake new information, reflect - think of what you've just learned, record - write in a note or record an audio, relate - share this info with smb, retrieve - do the quiz, ask youself questions(or ask smb to help you with that), review - before studying sth else next session, look at the previously learned materials!
  • With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly—which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stock portfolio
  • I'm studying English. It's quite hard to memorize what I learned. But your voice and the way you talk are really clarming and soothing. I'll take your advice. Thank you, Jim.

    As I've ventured thru my subscribed channels, I would run into your ads. I'd press "skip this" to continue to watch my subscribed videos. This time, I stopped to hear a narrator tell of your story. It's such a beautiful testimony. Honestly, have any of those movie makers stopped to ask you to make a movie of your life. I'll be in front of the line to buy tickets. I grew up being "hooked on phonics (grade school early 60's)." I was/ am a great reader. However, I lack focus, and many times, im re-reading segments of paragraphs. Till this day, I find myself starting a book and don't finish it. I'll get back to it months later. So, I will be listening in on your techniques in learning. God's done a miraculous work in your life. God bless you.
  • This I should have known in my early years but better late than never they say. Read...Reflect...Record...Relate...Retrieve...Review. It's in progression which makes it easy to absorb. Thank you for your willingness to share such impacting information. God bless you.
  • I was reading the book of limitless twice and it helped me a lot! I could learn Chinese and pass the HSK4(the normal level) in one year! Plus I’ve learned English so well and passed the exam as well! I am so thankful for the ability to know how to use my brain effectively 💐
  • Hi everyone! Those tips are petty good for increasing memory or for fast learning, but from those six steps, for me, the most important is to reflect, to lecture or share what we're learning with somebody else... Thanks Mr Jim
  • Thank you Jim.Simple techniques but highly effective. Have been listening to your podcasts.. learning something new everyday!!!
  • Ever since listening to Jim, I’ve used a lot of acronyms for memorization, and it has been an amazing benefit so thank you Jim for all your ways that you use to learn better and faster
  • @susangreen3871
    I used the “location method” you taught us for brain food..(top of the head, nose, mouth, ears, throat, shoulders…etc.) to help me learn the 6 r’s! Thank you Jim! I’m trying to re-implement your healthy morning routine. I’m getting back on track with that. You continue to inspire me! Thank you
  • @HHHondaHHH
    Thank you again Jim for the exercises and the beneficial knowledge 🙏🏼 Extraordinary how some of Us have been walking around for decades without even knowing how to truly use our brains🙏🏼
