Summary

While most learning methods have only managed to help learners predict what to study during exams, the popular Feynman Technique named after its founder Richard Feynman is deemed to have answered the most important question in an exam scenario of "How to learn". The technique helps learners grasp concepts faster and broadly by coming up with simpler explanations about them. Here, we explore the Feynman Technique widely understanding the exact steps to follow to use it, its benefits, and a lot more.

Takeaways

  • The Feynman Technique and other a few learning methods, promote effective grasping of concepts, and incorporation of ideas and materials into the long-term memory.
  • The Feynman Technique is named after the famous Physicist, Richard Feynman. It is deemed to help people understand any topic faster and more thoroughly.
  • While most learning methods answer the question "What to learn?", the Feynman Technique addresses a more important question of "How to learn?" that has not been well answered over the years.
