4. Feynman technique

After being able to answer these questions so that Jon can generally comprehend the information, take it a step further and implement the Feynman technique which involves you teaching the information so that aJf£ñ prader can understand it.

 

Breaking down a concept into simple terms typically reveals knowledge gaps that you were unaware of initially and gains you a better understanding of the information as you connect ideas to bridge those gaps.

 

Where you discover holes that cannot be filled with your present knowledge, you should target for future study. Continuing this reiteration a few times will allow you to narrow the scope of your study substantially.

Moreover, being forced to think critically about the underlying principles and applications when simplifying complex concepts encourages higher-level thinking and ultimately long-term learning as well.

As you successfully articulate the information, you are providing evidence of your expertise increasing confidence and further reinforcing learning.

 

Finally, this practice bodes well as you prepare to enter higher learning institutions and ultimately the workforce where you will certainly be expected to present information to others. Many times your audience members will not be subject matter experts whereas you very much could be especially if the information is part of your own findings.

 

To be successful in these presentations, you must be able to break down complex concepts into its fundamental components while adhering to the interests of the particular audience at hand. Getting into the habit of implementing the Feynman technique now will allow you to tackle this challenge later with more ease.
