Sequential learning

Sequential learning is important because it breaks down the information step-by-step.  This process allows learners to take a chunk of information in at a time and process it.  Many times, too much information is given to students all at once and causes confusion.  This leads students to miss certain steps, and therefore the learning becomes disrupted.  Sequential learning better equips students to become effective learners.    

            With rote learning, students process information by repeating something over and over again in order to memorize the information.  This information is kept in your short-term memory and is often difficult to retain at a later date. The process in which rote learning is taught is to provide example-model.  Go line by line, using non-verbal indicative gestures with a steady beat.  Next, break it down.  Then, chunk it down.  Finally, continue to chunk through the entire selection.
