Colleagues, the purpose of “The Art and Science of Learning” is to equip ordinary people from all walks of life with the core skills of life-long learning and their achievement of exceptional results. Whether in the classroom, board room, or anywhere in between, the process of learning is universal. Those who master key learning techniques and apply them to everyday life are people who are destined for success. Metacognition is a term first coined by psychologist John Flavell in the 1970s. And this term refers to the awareness and understanding of one's thought processes. It encompasses the ability to reflect on and regulate our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Since you were born, you began to develop and refine your metacognitive skills, shaping the way you perceive the world, process information, and make decisions. Essentially, there's no failure if you keep learning. Apart from failing a test or exam in school, any failure in the real world is always part of the process. So, you need to develop a thick skin. With that, you won't be so hurt whenever you fail, knowing it's part of your success journey. The next thing you want to do is to focus on knowing what's practicable. Due to this, I'll advise you to stick to the framework over fact. Not just that, you must ensure you do everything possible to retain what you learn. Active recall and Feynman Technique will help you. Up next is the application of your knowledge. Higher-order thinking skill is a must-have skill for any learner who wants to be successful. This is because it enhances your creative and critical reasoning.
