Self-Explanation

Self-explanation is a learning strategy where you actively clarify and articulate your understanding of new information as you study. This involves pausing to explain concepts to yourself, making connections, and identifying gaps in your knowledge. By teaching or describing ideas in your own words, you reinforce comprehension and retention. Self-explanation encourages deeper engagement with the material, promotes critical thinking, and helps you integrate new knowledge with what you already know. It is a powerful tool to improve learning efficiency and mastery of complex subjects.
