The learning process in a nutshell...

Ignite⇒Chunk⇒Chew⇒Review

By using this cycle,


we can ingrain new information
into our long-term memory bank.
Ignite:
Curiosity, not compliance begins the cycle.

Guiding Question: What is this?

6
Chunk:
New content becomes more “digestible”
through recognition and relevance.

Guiding Question:
What do I already know about this
content?
7
Chew:
Thinking happens when we recognize and
resolve cognitive conflict through
elaboration.

Guiding Question:
How do I understand this new content in
relationship to what I already know?
8
Review:
Our new understanding becomes permanent
knowledge through consolidation.

Guiding Question:
Can I find this new knowledge in my
schema (cognitive tree)?
