    Do some people need to read a definition of learning to learn how learning works?

    I thought the process is intuitively understood by everybody who has ever learned anything.

      If that were the case, the scientific method would not exist.

      Unfortunately this is not the case. A lot of people leave school assuming that scientific discoveries are eternal, unfailable truth that we just know to be true. Few ever understand how we acquired our knowledge and how to lewrn to understand it. Many assume you ‘just have to learn it’. Those your play around with computers or other stuff have an advantage. They know how to gain understanding not just how to learn facts.
