Learning and Organization

Organization and learning-Random> Worst

        Patterns of organization

        linear-lacks importance; too much to learn

        chronological

        hierarchical pyramid, inverted tree

        chunked

        models, systems, network, concept map

Best ways: simple hierarchical-Question prompt helps recall

Models + maps are good but have learning

curves; they are more complex forms

of hierarchical organization

        create hierarchy using rule of

3/s (or 3 to 7)

1 What are the three most important

points-repeat rule for each

point as often as needed

Outlining-more formal concept map, more visual, spatial, informal

concept maps are better at showing

relationships and make a

stronger, more memorable impression
