• It is important to ask the right questions when learning something new, especially if you want to learn it effectively. Empowering questions that are solution-oriented and begin with “how” will help you get started on the right foot. You should also avoid disempowering questions that focus on the negative aspects of a situation and begin with “why.”

• Bloom's taxonomy offers a framework to define and classify the levels of human cognition, from basic to more in-depth thought processing. With self-learning, it is important to know how to self-question based on the following six categories: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

• Remembering knowledge: This stage concentrates on retrieving information from memory that has been obtained through instruction and experience. To do this effectively, try using mnemonics or other memorization techniques.

• Understanding: The second stage of knowledge is all about understanding the material rather than just memorizing it. Try discussing ideas within the material with others or forming connections between that material and related topics.

• Application: The third stage of application is about taking what you have learned and being able to use it in a practical sense outside of lecture settings, such as solving math problems or creating detailed essays/plans.

• Analyzing: The fourth stage of analysis consists of taking the knowledge gained from prior stages and using it to create something original, like writing a story or designing an experiment.
