About this listen

Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters?

Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

Enter Tesia Marshik, a specialist in educational and developmental psychology. Her eye-opening Audible Original, Learning How to Learn, teaches you how to apply research-based tactics to improve your learning in any context, whether you’re in a typical classroom setting, pursuing a professional development opportunity, or working your way toward accomplishing almost any personal goal imaginable. By challenging basic assumptions about learning, you’ll develop effective strategies for studying smarter, staying focused, taking notes, learning online, and dodging the common pitfalls that keep so many of us from growing into our full potential.

Think you’re not a math person, or no good at photography, or too old to learn a new language, or that you simply can’t bake to save your life? Think again.

Excellent

I am on a path to accelerated learning and mastery. Though perhaps more geared towards students for which it would be a terrific resource - Tesia Marshik’s “Learning How to Learn” was equally beneficial for me as i travel up the exciting path to becoming a master in my field.

The information is on point, well organized and well referenced making it all the more effective as well as being credible.

Don’t hesitate to use this as a great reference no matter where you are on your learning journey. I would add that this should be part of every new student’s reading list!

Engaging and Insightful Course on Mastering the Art of Learning

Great Courses and Audible have teamed up to create a series of shorter courses than those usually offered by Great Courses. This title caught my attention as it was included in the monthly subscription. I was pleasantly surprised by this course. Although I consider myself a self-taught individual who has achieved a respectable level of proficiency in several fields, I am always intrigued by topics like learning how to learn.

True to the Great Courses format, each chapter lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. There are exactly 10 chapters, each addressing a specific topic in a lecture-style format. All the lectures are well-structured and seamlessly build upon each other. The tips provided are excellent. To the best of my knowledge and understanding, the concepts explored are current and reflect what we understand about skill development and learning.

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in the subject, whether for personal growth or to help those around them, be it in a professional or personal context.
