Incorporating practice for mastery from "summary" of Learning How to Learn by Joseph D. Novak,D. Bob Gowin
The key to mastering any subject is practice. This is not just any kind of practice, but practice that is purposeful and intentional. When you engage in practice with the goal of mastery in mind, you are more likely to succeed. Practice should not be a mindless repetition of facts or formulas, but a deliberate effort to understand the material deeply.
One effective way to incorporate practice for mastery is through the use of concept maps. Concept maps allow you to visually represent the relationships between different concepts, helping you to see the big picture and make connections between ideas. By creating concept maps, you are not only practicing your understanding of the material, but also reinforcing it through active engagement.
Another way to practice for mastery is through self-testing. Self-testing involves quizzing yourself on the material to assess your understanding. This not only helps you identify areas where you may be struggling, but also reinforces your memory of the material. By regularly testing yourself, you are actively engaging with the material and solidifying your grasp of it.
One important aspect of incorporating practice for mastery is feedback. Feedback allows you to assess your progress and identify areas for improvement. It is important to seek feedback from others, whether it be a teacher, peer, or tutor, to gain an outside perspective on your understanding of the material. By incorporating feedback into your practice routine, you can make adjustments and continue to progress towards mastery.
Incorporating practice for mastery is not a one-time event, but a continuous process. It requires dedication, effort, and a willingness to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. By consistently practicing with the goal of mastery in mind, you can achieve a deeper understanding of the material and develop lasting knowledge and skills.
