I’m a med student and I can share what has worked for me and using his method since forever. I developed it by centering my mind to walk into the direction I want it to go. Let’s say you’re driving in a highway and you see a hole. Do you pass through it? The next time you take that same route, you’ll definitely will remember the hole is there. The mind remembers more what hurts and causes challenges than the easy things that just pass by. I bet you didn’t remember if it was a white car next to you when you avoided the hole. The spikes in adrenaline deplete more quickly your glucose, and guess who loves glucose, your brain. Play games with you mind, just if it likes it. Answer complex and compound problems with multiple choices. Why is the best option and not the other? Are results better or just faster? If I need a quick diagnose, I rather chose the faster. But if I have time to work and provide a better outcome, should I seek for better or a faster result? I train in the gym almost every day and I always say something to my gym partner: Today we’ll do this exercise for three more sets just because we hate it. We hate it because if involves a lot of energy and maybe we can’t even finish our entire workout, but the results never fail be achieved in the least amount of time and with better results. We study and train hard, and we always have time for ourselves. Sleeping at the same time everyday is KING. Avoid having everything you use all the time in your room until you master the art of sleep. Just bring your phone and charge it facedown in the furthest corner. Use do not disturb modes when necessary. Avoid distractions that won’t guide you towards your current goal. Eat well, junk food is harder to digest, and this consumes more energy as well without rewarding you for the amount spent. Have your room clean and organized. Make it smell like your favorite flowers or whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you have a hard challenge, be your best version. I always have a haircut the day before my tests, wear my favorite socks,my favorite shoes, my favorite breakfast, my favorite coffee, my favorite perfume, my favorite watch, my favorite EVERYTHING. Nothin worse that not being comfortable with yourself while trying to learn something. Design your own game. Be your own fuel. I can type like 3000 more words, but I hope you read this and helps you understand your engine.
Very well written!
I want you to write more! I wish to have more conversations with you
Thank you so much I will do what u just write from this moment on .I think I will be the best version of myself

i dare you to write 3k words NOW! jkjk
Just thank you :)
Higher Order Learning:
- integrate learned information with what you already know
- connect learned ideas together, connect them to bigger picture/purpose
- compare pieces of information.
How to do Higher Order Learning:
- Recognize when you are doing lower-order learning (ask yourself, "will I forget this later?" Try keeping a tally of how many times you drift into lower-order learning during a study session.)
- Categorize ideas based on their important relationships. (Use mind maps for notetaking).
Students that use his method are shown to acheive a level of learning in 1-2 weeks that would otherwise have taken them 4 weeks.
This method will take more effort, and you will cover the material at a slower pace. Do not let this convince you to give up.
does imagination required in this method to understand better right ?? in simple remember ad=nd understand is what people mostly dooo but applying information and analyse in to deep and evaluate is higher order learning ..... mnenomics , link method ia also needed and revison in spaced intervals is must and should
after uou learned try to teach others in simple way thats it
exercise and meditation is most important for patience and long hours learning ..
is there anything i miss ??
Thankyou for summarising it.
You earned my respect.
thanks for saving me 15 minutes. this guy talks a lot without actually saying anything
@@yemaster9000maybe if you actually listening, u would know lil guy
@@ScreenTheSun-mr9zm lol ok buddy
Justin is seriously one of the best Educators on CZcams!
He's taken up from where Benjamin Bloom left off.
It's truly outstanding.
This guy changed the way i learn. And haven't even bought his course yet, just binge-watched his youtube videos.
don't buy it honestly... you can use similar tools from utube... there's never an exact blueprint when it comes to learning but there's a set of rules and guidelines one can follow to promote learning better..I would say his videos and teachings are great but not necessary to buy the course
@@jxrdxn2611 Have you taken the course?
@@jxrdxn2611 i would have to assume you haven't progressed past fundamentals and haven't joined the discord community because i can't imagine how otherwise you can miss life-changing value of this course
@@jakubkonopa5840 honestly this sounds like you're either lying or the placebo effect, give some details please
@@jakubkonopa5840 HAHAHA then I’d have to say u assume too much boi. If the fundamentals u’re talking about are active recall,spaced rep,bloom taxonomy,mind maps,’high level learning’-> ultimately boils down to making r/s with different concepts then sure yea
This guy is going to revolutionize the education system
There's a good Possibility.
Less likely
That's what I was thinking!
yes it is! change the world
Justin is the new-generation Mogul expert in learning strategies. Excellent! Hats off
Justin Sung you are a genius. Thank you for being thoughtful and intelligent in the way you approach this. Learning is so much fun now.
So proud of you and thankful for the help over the past year u deserve all this!
congratulations Justin, totally deserved!! he is amazing
Justin you are blessing for us.
Please people if you listened this do take an action. You can go for any goal if you know how to learn.
also try Sandeep Maheshwari
Up to now, study was my metaphor for learning. But this video made me realise that learning is more effective than only studying.😊
You are such a blessing Justin! Thank you for your efforts and help in learning ✨❤
CONGRATULATIONS JUSTINNN, you help me a lott!
This should get more likes !!!
Thank u so much Justin, ur speeches always make me feel like learning 😂
Best study coach ever ✨
love this, thanks TEDx and Jason!
This is how I used to study even before knowing about the HIGH ORDER THINKING SKILLS thing but I gave up cuz it didn't match the conventional way of learning stuff and also cuz it was a very timetaking process
Good to know that I was doing the right thing and now I won't ever go back to the conventional stuff thanks Justin🙏
One of the best lecture to help the students working on taking the bulk of information just to crack a single exam!
This is such an amazing talk, he talked about how important is to learn and not to study hard, our brains are created in such a way, that if we consider an information not valid (not worth knowing) enough we tend to forget immediately and we waste too much time restudying it.
The three key steps to learning (not studying) is LGL
Learning how the engine works (building the radar)
Gathering information together
Leverage note taking.
Learning the how the engine works: the two major techniques from his teachings are higher order technique and lower order technique, the lower order is technique is when you learn things in isolation, learning things that you are not familiar with ( i.e something you have no idea of and you are just inserting it in a sense in your brain) which is mentioned most people do and very not efficient at all, while the higher order technique is when you learn at ease and tried connecting it with the past things you learnt before and thinking about it to understand deeply and create greater connections with it.
Gathering information together as I mentioned earlier is thinking about it and learning it through the process.
On leverage note taking he mentioned some people learn in different ways not by the way authors write it or teacher teach it, he mentioned if you are not trying to think about it and you are just dumping it in your notebooks then you are not learning at all, which has really affected our learning process a lot we depend on notes to keep vital info rather than our active brain to keep for us.
Thank you justin!!!!, you are such a blessing!
OMG!! ITS JUSTIN SUNG!! HES HELPED ME SO SO MUCH!! RECOGNISED BY THE TITLE IT WAS HIM❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing lecture sir 💯🔥, I don't think you could have possibly explained more in the given time given how many techniques you actually talk about in your own yt channel , but this covered a LOT !
Justin has gotten a lot of backlash online. For teaching too many high school students or not giving enough practical insight in his CZcams videos.
I followed his CZcams channel for a year, trying everything he mentioned in the videos. Then about 4 months ago I decided to bite the bullet on his course since there’s a month refund policy. It was 100% worth it and life changing.
For reference, I’m in my 20s and have graduated with my undergraduate degree and am using his tools in Dental School.
He goes beyond just studying but into truly learning - whether it’s in school or general life. He teaches growth ideas that have made a far bigger difference than anything I’ve seen on CZcams. Actionable and theoretical tools for mindsets, skill development, learning processes…
He’s not perfect and the course isn’t perfect but I feel like there aren’t enough people mentioning just how life changing his material (on CZcams or the course) can be if you’re willing to put in a small amount of effort to actually learn it. It extends into your life beyond just making your school life better but better enabling you to build any skill you want to and to actually achieve your goals.
Thanks for the listen.
I agree 100% i think the course and CZcams channel they are tools very powerful if used correctly however there are a lot of people that just can't be bothered to learn how to use them properly and instead of blaming their lack of competency they blame the tool
Really? I've learnt a lot from his CZcams Videos alone. I wonder what their problem was? Maybe they just didn't actually practice what he was teaching.
@@BeowolfNindoJournal i think just like ppl dont want to put much effort into studying, they don't want to put much effort into truly understanding what he's saying and applying his techniques. they really want to be spoon fed, and if that's the case, they really should just sign up for his course lol
@@lolabint3411the problem is that they have problems with learning so they can't learn efficiently from his videos and the circle is closed. They can't learn how to learn because they don't know how to learn. :)
i feel like ive learnt a lot from the youtube videos itself. is buying the course worth it tho? like ik its really good but i feel like ive already attained all the powerful informations from his videos on youtube alone
Hopefully this will give you the recognition you deserve :)
Love this talk
I needed this video so bad, Justin is a legend!
I also came up with similar insights while I was learning physics..
Learning must be holistic and not isolated..
Same, I thought of this when studying physics aswell
He's so helpful
Love you Justin sir
Well Justin may just have revolutionised the educational system for me he is due a Nobel, his view on how learning should be could n definitely will increase everyone's ability to practical problem solve and result in numerous inventions n discoveries due to a better understanding of the relationships of things n the importance of these relationships , hey i don't nominate pple for Nobel's but from me your discovery has n will continue improving our lives forever
Finally he is on Tedtalk
What a powerful lesson.
Thank you Ted and it's great project
The video was very helpful and when you take action to do work, motivation comes along.
First I thought watching such a long video might not be very efficient and he would just share some commom non working tricks but as he said most of the times the things which require high efforts or need time are the most effective ones, his words are true.
This Ted-Talk was definitely worthy watching
Amazingly explained and actually helpful, Thank you for the video!
Love from India🇮🇳.. The person who have changed my study methods and those methods help me now...
Thanks !❤
Relevance that's exactly it!
It may also explain why for example you only really learn a language when you're in that particular country that speaks that language vs just learning it at home. Because it's more relevant to speak it there, there's a necessity even. It's not only more challenging to be in that situation but it also creates a necessity, because social skills are survival skills. Knowing how to communicate with your surroundings is a survival skill.
It might also explain why things you like, you learn faster. The fun is a reward for the brain, and so you want more fun. And to get more fun you might want to, or even need to, know more.
If you want more fun in the game you need to get better, it's rewarding to know more, and so it becomes more relevant/a necessity for that joy, to continue.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And confidence, there's something about confidence that either creates a blockage, if it's not there, or speeds up the process (sometimes even enables it) if it is there. And i'm not only talking about self confidence but also about confidence in general. The confidence in the material, the confidence about the situation (subconsciously), the confidence in the provider (the teacher). The fact that we tend to learn more from people with a charismatic attitude, a person with a leader attitude or even more important when the person provides proof (proof that it has been done before, proof that it works). And also when the information is confidently presented as truth we tend to accept it easier. All a confidence matter.
There is something about confidence in this matter that feels very important, i just haven't quite put my finger on it yet.
Thank You Justin, if I may conclude my understating from what you said, it will be, it is to "process the information"
More effective and resourceful session for creating my focus path
Thank you.🙌
Stop ___dying. Start __earning
Wise words
Best comment haha
This "words cutting" is actually a studying technique :D
commenting for the algorithm, because i've been inspired by your profound mindset for a while now. ★
Well done for getting on ted talk love ur content helped me so much
In a nutshell, always look for connections on everything you're learning so it's not "irrelevant"😤🔥
Brain remember hurtful things better => test yourself and feel free to make mistakes => connect with other things, subjects.
Higher order learning = active learning: thinking back and forth.
Steps by steps for higher order thinking:
1. Understand your engine: count times you zone out during studying, which is when you find those information irrelevant. Try to reduce those times by connecting more and more info.
2. Group info: Find and compare info to form groups -> decide which one is more important.
3. Good note taking makes you to think.
Note: start with books for more times to think.
thanks for summarising
Thank you sir ❤️❤️ this topic helped me a lot:
This is amazing piece of information.
I think I got the way to learn faster ❤❤❤.thank you sir so much
I literally ran when I saw Justin, I love him, very insighful
You are my Life Saver !!!!
Thank you for this Sir
Instructive and presented well.
The best 🖤
Best enviornment for learning
Justin!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Why do you have no verification mark?
Bro no way...... You guys should collab
Glad to hear you talk about HOTS🔥. 🌸정말 고마워요 🌸jeong-mal go-ma-weo-yo🌸 Thank you so much for sharing your views. Your thoughts resonate with mine. I never make flash cards or linearly neat notes, as it's COLD (changeless ordered linear drab) that way. I know people who study like that and wonder how they manage. I learn by snowball effect it makes sense to me. I like my learning HOT (Higher Ordered Thinking) as you have described. Great presentation! 👍👏👌
Amazing 👏👏👏
Just legendary!!
inspiring talk.
I will use it to learn
Surely if / when you do higher order learning jtnis faster as your grouping the minutia you would normally process individually, plus writing lectures out word for word while going through what you heard and the pictures that triggered is higher order learning it's just time consuming checking you typing afterword.
What an amazing talk.
Thank you.
Hi! What do you call it, my name is Jie Guangping, I'm come from China. I'm a beginner in the English language, if you don't mind, we can exchange language learning, you teach me English and I teach you Chinese🥰
just AMAZING
A big applause 😇👏🏻
Love this video. Thank you so much from Montreal 🫶
FINALLY!
Congrats Justin 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My problem is if I am studying higher order learning all of my thinking will be about that subject or course. Which is very good. But if I have something to do I can't think about the subject I have to study low order learning. As an example if I started watching anime (any series), football or something else I can't focus on my studies. I just study for exams. So I think you should enjoy your self by studying to be successful. I did it at some point and it benefited me but now I am struggling because of spending time on other things.
Chunking essentially. It's the key to everything including learning a craft or sport.
Great sir
Studying is not the same as learning. To truly learn, we need to understand and integrate knowledge, not just memorize facts. Many students struggle with studying effectively, leading to anxiety and inconsistent results. By improving metacognition (thinking about thinking), we can gain more control over our learning process. Higher order thinking skills, which involve connecting information and seeing the bigger picture, can greatly enhance learning. Linear note-taking should be replaced with non-linear methods that allow for the formation of groups and relationships. These strategies require more effort but lead to more efficient learning and better retention. It is important to prioritize learning over studying and to understand that higher order learning is more time-efficient in the long run. Don't just study more; learn smarter.
Very helpful
Ty ❤
All rounder and yes isolated or classroom choose best one
And no pressure, it should be fun
The best Ted talks,, the best advice. If u just read the video description 😏
Interesting way of looking at things.
Very Impactful and different
Can be considered Revolutionary?
Thanks bro
Based on what @Isabelle Grimesey wrote here 2 months ago:
Studying Vs. Learning
Higher Order Learning (HOL, also can be called Higher Level Learning) Vs. Lower Order Learning (LOL)
Taking Smart Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learning is more complex, more profound, deeper, Than Studying.
Higher Order Learning: - integrate learned information with what you already know - connect learned ideas together, connect them to bigger picture/purpose - compare pieces of information. Better for retention.
Creating NETWORKS OF KNOWLEDGE. The more you learn, the knowledge becomes connected and you can use it better.
Lower Order Learning - no connection between subjects, learning definitions. Very tedious and boring.
How to do Higher Order Learning: - Recognize when you are doing lower-order learning (ask yourself, "will I forget this later?" Try keeping a tally of how many times you drift into lower-order learning during a study session.) - Categorize ideas based on their important relationships. (Use mind maps for notetaking).
Students who use this method are shown to achieve a level of learning in 1-2 weeks that would otherwise have taken them 4 weeks.
STEP 1 - Learning how the "engine" works
Learn the basics, the fundamentals of the subject. Make sure you know that on a good enough level to later use that to grow and use that for the more complex subjects.
STEP 2 - Group information together
Find relationships and group them together + think deeper, prioritize the relationship, and decide which groups of information is important to group and which isn't.
It's not always the same as the information that the lecturer is connecting together.
It will take more mental effort, but that's exactly what is HOL.
STEP 3 - Leverage your notes.
Make your notes meaningful. Good notes should help us think, not help us not to think about the subject.
Linear note taking - isn't good. Sequentially writing notes doesn't work.
Non-Linear note taking - For example Mind mapping
(More difficult while in a Live lecture, easier with recorder lecture or with a book or an article)
This method will take more effort, and you will cover the material at a slower pace. Do not let this convince you to give up.
Misinterpreted Effort Hypothesis - Thinking that if something takes too much effort, it also means it is not effective enough, so we stop doing that. But when it comes to learning - More effort is better according to research.
Is covering the material FASTER is what we want? That's just Studying. Studying and forgetting. That's a lower order learning, and Lower order Thinking. Don't study more, study smart - Learn.
Killin it 🔥🔥🔥
Nice intro art by the way. We really need to make it customary to have the artist's name on it. Intro art showing: wave, colors, man-women-generations-danser-musician ... flowing, a better way. This is going to work.
great Justin
Don't study more but rather learn more. Some of the most strategic form of learning take effort. It is a skill than can come naturally or can be trained of. The more we know about the concept, the easier it is to learn on that concept. Learn the concept of learning. Experiment what strategy are suitable for you. Balance your health and learning. Be efficient.
Higher order learning connects information.
I'm a forth am a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology. I wish I had watched this video sooner.
❤love you Justin ❤
Unknowingly, I've been using all these methods all through my 15 year life but now as I'm preparing for my pre-med, I feel that I've just went with the flow of studying and not learning, it does hurt, I really wanna start over again through learning
All the best with that then, cheers 🥳
@@YerSiNia14 Thank you for the well wishes! All the best with whatever you're doing too :))
Plz give example plz I become u tommorow is my exams
I am talking to my self, stop learning and start creating
Hey Justin, ur fams here 👊
Very very effective information 🤲🤲🌅🌅❣️❣️✨❣️✨✨❣️✨❣️✨❣️
This is an amazing topic. In fact, I just want to know the better way to learn a language. I'm 67 years old and I study by my own. After your talk I got the conclusion I'm wasting time with no-relevant information because I can't achieve a high level. It would more interesting if you could give some examples. Learning English is on my bucket list. It's a challenge for me learning a language so any help will be welcome for my learning development.
With languages it is pretty simple to make information relevant use it for example in conversation creat dialouge between 2 people learn something else in english prioritise how you can use language in as many different scenarios as possible that way the information will sink in very strongly
Do you have any hobby or particular interest? Photography, cooking, gardening, graphic novels? Well, use your target language to cultivate those interests. Read books and magazines in that language; if you're at a beginner level maybe start with children's cartoons with subtitles in your target language.
Good...👍
Excellent talk, studying implies short-term gains that are often lost over time, learning implies long-term gains that are solidified deeper and deeper over time.
I do meatcognition to a grade that It made me crazy. It was like pulling all the parts of the car to find the piece that is causing the problems when not knowing what tasks each part has.
I think isolated and education for specific requirements are best
Apply your heart.
Everyone, watch his videos on mind mapping. It's the key to HOTS.
Finally
I honestly think a voice guiding students are best bet
