Creating a learning culture and encouraging employees to educate themselves gives a business a tangible result that benefits everyone. The business gets highly qualified and interested in getting new knowledge team, and employees secure their professional future and personal growth.

While business coaches and consulting companies are responsible for organizing and forming programs for corporate education, self-education is entirely an employee’s responsibility.

The easy-to-use rules from our experts help you make self-learning effective.

• Spreading the training over several sessions will preserve and consolidate the acquired knowledge. Mastering the entire volume of information in one time period is less effective than the interval approach. This way of information absorption will work if the division of the amount of material and the workload for several sessions is pre-planned.
• 10-second breaks are another “useful” strategy. It works very well for learning new skills. During 10-second pauses, the brain reproduces the information just received 20 times faster than when it was initially perceived. This brain activity improves memory and enhances learning ability.
• Studying several related topics during one session is a smart approach to self-study. Alternating, switching from subject to subject improves your brain’s ability to absorb different ideas and trains your memory; it helps you find connections between various areas of study. An added benefit is that alternating helps prevent brain fatigue that results from studying the same subject for long periods.
• Self-checking and self-monitoring of knowledge stimulates the brain to memorize and consolidate the material learned. Forms of self-checking can be tests, quizzes, or assignments. The most effective is recognized interval testing of knowledge: after a distributed period, after studying certain amounts of information. The technique of “read and re-read 2-3 more times” not only does not help to memorize information but also gives a “false sense of confidence” that you learned information.
• Change your place – change your luck. The words of this ancient saying are perfectly appropriate when it comes to learning. A change of learning location, even within the same space, improves learning and memorizing, increases the number of associations associated with a particular memory, and facilitates its subsequent “replay.” The brain needs variety.

We hope our tips help you build a self-education process rationally and effectively. Along with corporate training, an employee’s self-education creates a balanced approach to building a qualified and adapted to the realities of the market team.
