Rote learning is an outdated learning technique often without understanding and reasoning. The ideal way is to understand the content first. It goes without saying, memorizing with understanding will stay in the brain forever.


Of course that is the best method of learning and with understanding many other qualities are developed as well - Concentration, commitment to the work and also being consistent in one's work !


Above all a student can acquire self confidence which is required in all the spheres of life in future.


Absolutely ! Most of our subjects and teaching methods are dry and uninteresting and students find it difficult to cncentarte because of this. If more practical studies are introduced students wd find it more interesting and also understand the subject better !


Very true. Unless the student finds interest in what he's asked to do, he loses concentration. This is biggest hurdle that prevents the student from learning and making learning a mechanical activity, even though he 's willing to learn.
Memorizing may be helpful for a moment. After sometime, if we recall about what we memorized it will be not in our mind.The good way of learning is to understand the concept and try to keep the important points in mind. From that we should deliver the content by our own words and not as it is given in the book.

As kids rote learning is the primary way to teach and learn but as we grow up I think understanding a concept makes it easier to retain any info rather than simply learning by heart or mugging up a concept.

Rote learning will make you robot. Anything out of the curriculum the student becomes undone. Application and understanding is the need of the hour.

Yes..rote learning should be limited to KG classes but going forward..learning should be coupled with understanding.

Writing is the best practice to remember whatever we have studied. Noting down main points as hints helps us to remember easily.

Application of what's learnt to the real life will make all the difference. Knowledge without application is an exercise in futility .

Yes, correct..practical utility / application of theoretical knowledge helps one to retain the info for a longer time. Even writing and remembering fails at times.

Knowledge gained through rote is nothing but a robotic action. It's as good as not having knowledge at all.
Practical konwledge only last for ever.
