Include a warm greeting at the beginning learning something new.

Organize discussion: set up a foundational structure to guide the discussion so the students have an idea of how and why they should be talking about something.

Some of the best ways to make learning “stick” include connecting content with meaning, encouraging self-testing instead of rote memorization, and giving frequent, low-stakes assessments.

Identify the main ideas
Before learning something new, take some time to reflect on what you already know about it. Have you encountered the same concepts or ideas in other areas? How do they fit into a larger context? Can you relate them to your own life.

Think about your life experiences or find relevant examples from other sources like current events. Meaningful learning requires integrating new concepts into your existing knowledge and experience, so the closer the example is to something you already know, the better your retention of knowledge.

One of the most essential steps in learning is taking smart notes. To make your notes more meaningful, incorporate mentions of your existing knowledge, questions generated during your study sessions, and relevant examples you come across. Re-reading your notes and further.

No matter the context, meaningful learning encourages learners to engage with their environment, ask questions, and use past knowledge to make sense of new experiences. Through this process, we can more effectively understand the world around us and use that knowledge to make a real difference and also using Real-world examples. Take notes and study them.
