About this listen

To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier.

Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Sehr gute Zusammenfassung der relevanten Forschung hinterlegt mit Beispielen und praktischen Handlungsempfehlungen.
Insbesondere wird keine Rücksicht auf die Gefühlchen einiger genommen, die nach wie vor an unsinnigen, lange widerlegen Theorien wie den Lerntypen festhalten.
Jeder Studierende oder besser schon SchülerIn sollte dieses Buch lesen oder hören.

Guter Überblick über die rel. Forschung

Sometimes voice was a little droning as I'm unused to American accent but otherwise an enjoyable background listening activity.

As a professor, this was a great book. I learned a lot, not only with what works but in what doesn’t work.

It keyed me into ways in which repetitive, blocked, short-term cramming gives us the illusion of learning.

In general, I think anyone interested in mastering something will find this useful. It’s also pretty darn empowering.

Deep, practical, and illuminating

Intuitive and profound in its simplicity this book is a fantastic guide to more efficient and longer lasting learning. The audiobook delivery is a bit bland and American but overall good production.

Should be a staple for all learners

I found the Audio book extremely useful. It made me question what I did previously, what I should be doing and what I can do in the future. Very powerful findings.
