The Learning Pyramid
🧠 The Learning Pyramid: Why Some Study Methods Work Better Than Others Have you ever wondered why some lessons just stick in your memory, while others fade away the moment the class ends? That’s where the Learning Pyramid comes in — a visual model that shows how different ways of learning affect how much we actually remember. Now, before we jump in, let’s clear up one thing: those neat little numbers you often see in the pyramid (like “5% for lectures, 90% for teaching others”) aren’t based on one solid scientific study. But the general idea — that active learning beats passive learning — is strongly backed by research. Let’s break down each level in simple language 👇 🎓 1. Lecture — Just Listening (Least Effective) We’ve all been there — sitting in a lecture hall, trying to stay awake while someone talks at us for an hour.
