My Problem with Spaced Repetition
- emteycz 6y agoI think nobody tries to suggest you can learn Japanese just with Anki cards. You use it to learn a part of the language which needs repetition-based learning, while learning other parts of the language - and experience indeed is a very important focus of that learning process. Also nobody tries to suggest you can learn programming by practicing language keywords. So I don't understand what is the problem. We knew this all along, we are using learning by experience for as long as I can remember, nobody even thought of reducing learning to Anki cards.
- dbustac 6y agoThe education system does reduce learning to memorizing some facts, dates and formulas.
- emteycz 6y agoI don't think so. I have never seen e. g. a math class without practice. Some practice is more theoretical, but there is practice.
- edylemond 6y agoRote memorization is indeed not very useful, but the memorization of connected knowledge which you can build on top is essential for learning and creativity
