KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS
Module 8 · 6 min
Your ability to learn is a resource that creates new resources.
Think first: Can you learn on your own?
Think of something nobody taught you, but you became good at. Cricket, a phone game, cooking, drawing…
How did you learn it?
Tick what you did: How did you get good?
- I practiced again and again
- I watched others who were better
- I noticed what went wrong and changed it
- I worked on my weak points
- I enjoyed getting a little better each time
The idea: Your successes are resources
Your previous successes are resources too.
“The way you learned cricket can help you learn Maths.”
Two ways to learn: Student or learner?
Tap each one.
- A student · Learns because a syllabus, teacher and exam give the learning a structure.
- A learner · Yearns to learn, experiments, accepts mistakes, and gets better at learning itself.
Remember: A resource multiplier
Every new skill makes the next one easier to learn.
“Learning to learn is a resource multiplier.”
Ideas: Make learning fun for yourself
- Turn it into a game · Challenge a friend, keep score
- Teach it to someone · The best way to check you understand
- Make a song or rhyme · Great for tables and formulas
- Link it to daily life · Cricket scores, shop bills, recipes
- Set small challenges · Five new words today
Your turn: Pause & ponder
