Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time - it refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader concept or idea.
Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten.
As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why - and understands why the examples are done the way thatthey are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge to each question at hand. Both might acethe test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the concepts all over again - and one slight twistin the question may throw her off. Brian, however, understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question, and practicing questions will come more naturally to him.
That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian - instead, they may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?” really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten - yet it is the key to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds your desire to learn beyond the textbook.
