As a science educator, I have noticed that many school students lack a proper understanding of the concepts they are taught these days. Most students focus on memorizing concepts to score good grades, rather than gaining knowledge. They rely on guides and study materials to learn, but end up memorizing the information instead of understanding it. They repeat definitions and formulas hundreds of times just to pass an exam the next day. While some parents encourage this method of learning, they do not allow their children to explore the concepts with real-life examples. Some schools provide task sheets and assignments just before exams and hint that the questions will be based on these materials. If a child fails to understand any concept, it is the teacher's responsibility to help, and it is the parent's responsibility to follow up with the school.

However, some parents give us the freedom to teach their children the concepts in a proper way. They ask for proper techniques to help their kids learn. Children should always be encouraged to learn properly, and one such technique is the Feynman Learning Technique. This technique is suitable for anyone looking to learn something effectively. It focuses on true comprehension rather than memorization and involves a four-step process, as shown in the attached figure:

STEP 1: Pick and study a topic.

STEP 2: Explain the topic to someone who is unfamiliar with the topic, like a child, using simple language.

STEP 3: Identify any gaps in your understanding.

STEP 4: Return to the literature to improve your understanding, simplify your explanations, and create analogies.
