If a student takes the steps below, which method/technique are they making use of?

- Taking concepts and breaking them down in one’s own words.

- Making use of examples in a way that allows you to apply what you are learning.

- Referring to notes for concepts and examples that aren’t clear to you yet.

- Reiterating the concepts you weren't clear on.


Feynman.


Active retrieval.


Cornell.


Elaboration.

The steps described relate most closely to the Feynman Technique. This method involves breaking down concepts into simpler terms, teaching the material in your own words, and using examples to clarify understanding. The process of referring to notes for anything unclear and reiterating concepts to reinforce understanding also aligns well with the Feynman Technique, which emphasizes deep comprehension over rote memorization.

While elements of active retrieval and elaboration are present, the overall approach you outlined fits best with the Feynman Technique.
