Rote learning

Some categorize rote learning as less effective and place it in the lower tier of study methods. Rote learning relies on memorization through repetition, with the belief that increased repetition leads to better understanding and retention. However, it is argued that it is an inefficient approach, as it tends to be tedious and can result in boredom, hindering information processing. The key critique is that learning involves active engagement, understanding, and recalling information, which rote learning may lack. It is suggested that rote learning can be more effective if combined with active thinking and constant questioning about the material.
