Learning How to Learn! ๐ง ๐
Today, our Grade 9 and 10 students had the privilege of attending an inspiring and thought-provoking session by Prof. Nagabhushan Raju Konduru on the art of learning, memory and effective recall.
The session explored a fascinating question: Why do we easily remember scenes, dialogues and songs from movies, but often struggle to recall what we study? Through practical examples, Prof. Konduru explained how the brain learns, the importance of prioritising information, and how consistent practice trains the mind to retain and retrieve knowledge effectively.
One of the key takeaways was the importance of solving the book-back exercises at the end of every chapter. He emphasised that regular practice strengthens understanding, improves recall and builds confidence in learning.
Prof. Konduru also shared an inspiring thought from J. R. D. Tata, whom he considers one of his greatest inspirations:
โGod has given each of us 24 hours every day. How we use those 24 hours to serve His creation is how we pay back to God.โ
The message encouraged students to value their time, learn with purpose, and use their knowledge to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
It was an engaging and thought-provoking session that encouraged our students to move beyond simply studying and focus on learning how to learn.
A powerful reminder: Donโt just fill your brain with information, train it to retrieve, connect and apply it!
