INSIGHT

Students Rely on Misleading Learning Cues

  • Students are not taught how to regulate their own learning, so they rely on flawed cues to judge learning success.
  • These misleading judgments cause students to pick ineffective and effortless study methods repeatedly.
ADVICE

Encourage Questions Without Annoyance

  • Teachers must always encourage questions and never show annoyance, even with seemingly silly questions.
  • Respond calmly and move on quickly to maintain a positive question-asking culture in class.
ADVICE

Ask Clear, Specific Questions

  • Students reluctant to ask questions should clarify what part they understood and what they didn't to avoid seeming inattentive.
  • Recognize teachers control class time and may offer follow-ups after class for complex queries.
