Understanding how one’s working memory operates is beneficial for learning in several ways. Our working memories temporarily process and store information long enough for us to create a meaningful connection with it. Our working memories even guide/influence our cognitive abilities, such as planning, problem-solving, and reasoning, all of which are commonly used for organizing assignments and writing exams.
The goal of the Our Learning Mind module is thus to inspire students to reflect on their learning processes in conjunction with those belonging to their working memories. Students will discover tips and tricks that they can easily integrate into their daily routine and find useful in their pursuit of achieving academic goals.
