ABSTRACT
THINKING SKILLS Learning can be viewed in two different ways. The first, we usually call rote learning. Rote learning means that information is memorized with little or no understanding of its meaning. For example, you may have learned a poem, speech, or song or learned to spell and pronounce words, but had no idea of their meaning. Rote learning does not provide us with useful information, because if we have no idea of the meaning of what we have learned, we cannot conceive how to put it to use.
