D
Over breakfast one morning,a language learner named Alex chatted with Mia,a Spanish
study partner.During the ten-minute exchange,Alex explained vocabulary and sentence structures.
Surprisingly,this short conversation helped Alex remember more than an hour of textbook
exercises would have.But Mia wasn't real-she was an AI partner Alex had created to model
the experience of teaching someone else.This approach is based on a psychological principle
known as the protege effect.
The protege effect suggests that we learn more deeply when we teach others.This concept
dates back to the 1980s,when a teacher in Germany,Jean-Pol Martin,allowed his students to
research and present material to their classmates.The technique,called "Lernen durch Lehren"in
German,led to better motivation and communication skills among the students.
In one study,researchers asked students to study biological processes using a digital flow
chart.Some were told it was just for their own use,while others were informed that the chart
would be used to teach a cartoon character.The result suggested that those who believed they
were teaching learned significantly more and showed stronger performance on tests.Interestingly,
the greatest improvement was seen in the lower-performing students,who matched the scores of
the top students in the self-study group.
Why does this effect occur Researchers believe that when we expect to teach,we feel more
accountable.We make greater efforts to fill gaps in our knowledge,correct misunderstandings,
and organize our thoughts clearly.Explaining something aloud forces us to process information at
a deeper level.
You don't need a real person to use this technique.AI tools can play the role of a curious
learner.Whether with a classmate,or a chatbot,teaching can be one of the most effective ways
to learn.
