rote learning

Rote learning is a memorization technique that involves repeating information verbatim until it is committed to memory. This method is often used in educational settings to help students retain facts, formulas, or vocabulary through repetition and practice. While rote learning can be effective for memorizing specific information, it may not promote deep understanding or critical thinking skills, as it often emphasizes recall over comprehension. Critics argue that it can lead to superficial learning, whereas proponents believe it lays the foundation for more complex learning when combined with other educational strategies.
