Edgar Dale: How to effectively learn and remember any subject

Edgar Dale in 1969 revealed the most effective ways of learning.

 

Edgar Dale came to the conclusion that:

 

— listen to lectures on the subject or read materials on the subject is namedelivery way to learn anything;

— to teach others and use what they are learning in their own lives is the most effective way to learn anything.

 

Edgar Dale taught students the same educational material, but in different ways. And then analyzed their ability to recall studied information after graduation.

 

Although the cone basis is really based on a study of Dale, the percentages were calculated not by Dale, and his followers as a result of their own research.

 

Even though the Cone of learning which received wide distribution, contains not quite accurate data, it is a guide to the most effective learning techniques, which only able to perceive the human brain.

 

Cone of learning clearly explains why the fragments of the film are remembered better than read the book on the same subject. The film uses audio and visual aspects that the human brain is more inclined to remember.

Although listening to lectures is one of the worst ways to learn the material, lectures on their topic (as a teacher) is one of the most effective.

 

2. Write articles

3. Create video
