Developing Knowledge and Skills (AMT 220)

Learning meteorology goes beyond mere memorization; it requires efficient study methods that promote understanding and long-term retention. This guide explores knowledge acquisition strategies designed to help students organize and store information in a way that connects new concepts to existing knowledge. By making new information relevant and creating meaningful associations, learners can enhance their studying experience. Embrace these approaches to become a more effective student, enabling better recall of vital meteorological concepts in practical applications.

  1. Developing Knowledge and Skills (AMT 220)

  2. Be Efficient • Learning Meteorology requires more than just doing your homework. • You have to study your work. • You have to study your work efficiently and effectively. • Knowledge Acquisition Strategies will help you become a more effective and efficient learner.

  3. Knowledge Acquisition • What is knowledge acquisition? • We need to process material so that it is organized and stored in long-term memory in such a way as to facilitate later retrieval. In other words, we want to accomplish two goals: • Make new knowledge relevant to what we already know. • Store new knowledge so that it can be recalled when it is needed.

  4. Why is knowledge acquisition important? • You need to do more than memorize. • The problem with memorizing: • You are not learning the material in a way that makes sense to you, and you're not organizing it to fit what you already know. • Rote memory probably helped you through high school but you are just making studying harder if you rely on that while you are in college.

  5. How does knowledge acquisition work? • To understand knowledge acquisition you have to understand the memory continuum.

  6. Memory Continuum

  7. Three processes help move information down the continuum. • Make the new information relevant to what you already know. • Organize the new information in a way that makes sense to you. • Store the new information in a place in memory where you can access it.

  8. An Aviation Meteorology Example • Make the new information relevant to what you already know: • We all have a general knowledge of the earth’s atmosphere. This knowledge will aid us in understanding the pressure altimeter in the cockpit • Organize the new information in a way that makes sense to you: • When flying from an area of higher temperature and pressure to an area of lower temperature and pressure • Store the new information in a place in memory where you can access it: • When flying from high to low or hot to cold look out below!

  9. Why did you write Sleep? • Knowledge is created through the associations we make. • We make associations all the time (as in things associated with sleep). • In order to be masters of our own learning we must master the associations we make. • Anyone can give you information, but only you can create your knowledge.

  10. An Aviation Weather Example What operation do the following represent? x * ab (m+n)(p-q)

  11. Meteorology Example What does the following represent? Absolute Zero Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide Density Gas Law

  12. Keep in Mind… • Using these strategies will take time and effort, but the long term benefits are worth it.
