The Learning Pyramid

The Learning Pyramid illustrates how different teaching methods impact retention rates. It suggests that people remember 5% of what they hear in lectures, 10% of what they read, 20% of what they see, but they retain much more—up to 75%—when they engage in discussions or practice teaching others. The most effective learning occurs through hands-on experiences, where retention can be as high as 90%. This model emphasizes the importance of active participation and engagement in the learning process, suggesting that the more involved we are, the better we understand and remember information.
