During the past twenty years, more researches on the human brain has taken place than what took place in the whole human history before that. Accelerated Learning is based on the results of these researches. Each individual has their own "Learning model", a special way in acquiring information and integrating them into one's personal experience. If you recognize this model and use techniques that harmonize with it, your learning will become spontaneous and innate.

Traditional Learning/Accelerated Learning

A learner sits and "receives" information from the teacher.	Sit and learn	Being Interactive and involved	Learning is a social collaborative experience that provides support from several sources. We learn by interacting with trainers, colleagues, and the environment.
Regardless to what awarding and punishment system we have, such retribution will not constitute real motivation.	Retribution	Motivation	Accelerated Learning Creates an inspired learning environment that simulates reality. Each learner finds their own connection to this environment according to what learning means to them.
Teacher presents information and offers answers to a group of quietly seated learners.	Teacher comes first.	Learner comes first	Trainers consider themselves as facilitators of each learner's own learning. They prepare for a healthy environment and suitable activities that help each learner to progress their own way. Focus is on learners and learning, not on what trainers know or do.
A win-or-lose attitude. To win, there must be someone who loses! This leads to negative feelings from learners towards their peers.	Competition	Collaboration	Collaboration and social sense supports learning.
Learners are supposed to acquire pre-prepared material. The role of trainers end with the end of the presentation.	Material-oriented	Learning-oriented	Facilitators focus on the learning and development of each learner, while learners themselves do the job and get involved in it.
Presentation is in the form of presenting facts or information, aided by transparencies and Power Point Presentations. Learners use their heads to "memorize" what is presented.	Intellectual approach	Brain-Body-Heart	Learning has more into it than just working with heads. It involves the whole body whole mind.
One way suits all. Teachers will always present material in one way that is supposed to suit all. Let's hope you are lucky enough to get use of it!	One size suits all.	Diversity and many learning choices.	Training presents a variety of learning options, which helps each and every learner work their own way.
