💡 Example-Giving
By using specific instances or concrete examples, abstract concepts become clear and memorable. This happens because the new information is connected to familiar, real-world scenarios that learners can relate to.
🔗 Analogy & Comparison
Bringing together the unfamiliar concepts and the familiar ones through metaphors, analogies, and similes creates bridges to the prior knowledge and helps the visualization of abstract ideas through recognizable imagery.
⚡ Cause and Effect
Giving explanations of concepts in the form of detailing causes and their consequences helps the learners to understand chain reactions and relationships between events, thus creating logical connections that enhance comprehension and retention.
🧩 Mnemonics
Memory aids that use acronyms, rhymes, keywords, or images make the information easier to retain, and they also create alternate retrieval pathways through associations that are meaningful and memorable.
❓ Self-Questioning
The elaborative questions like "why" and "how" during study force the deeper processing of information, and they also encourage the learners to actively analyze the content rather than just receiving it passively.
📝 Note-Making
Making ordered notes with key points, cues, and personal summaries changes the passive reading into active engagement, and it also allows learners to reorganize the information in a personally valuable way.
✏️ Rewriting & Paraphrasing
Restating the information in one's own words makes deep processing and understanding a necessity, while at the same time creating personalized connections and ensuring the concepts are internalized rather than just being copied or memorized.
