Samenvatting:

Why do some students forget what they study within hours, while others recall it months later? Why do some learners thrive on exams, while others struggle despite long hours of preparation?

The answer isn't luck or talent-it's strategy.

In The Science of Smart Learning: Research-Proven Strategies to Study Smarter, Understand Deeper, and Remember Longer, educator and author Rolando Asisten, Jr. blends real student stories with decades of research from psychology, neuroscience, and education. The result is a practical, evidence-based guide that equips learners of all ages with the tools to achieve lasting learning.

Inside, readers will discover why rereading and highlighting often fail, and what to do instead. They will learn how to apply strategies such as retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, dual coding, and the Cornell Method to transform study sessions into powerful learning experiences. Beyond test preparation, this book shows how smart learning strategies build resilience, focus, and lifelong curiosity.

Written for students, parents, teachers, librarians, and lifelong learners, this book serves as both a roadmap and a toolkit. Whether preparing for finals, mastering professional exams, or simply striving to learn more effectively, readers will find proven techniques to study smarter, understand deeper, and remember longer.
