What is another word for learning by rote?
Pronunciation: [lˈɜːnɪŋ ba͡ɪ ɹˈə͡ʊt] (IPA) 
Learning by rote is a traditional method that involves repeating information until it is memorized. Some synonyms for this phrase include memorization, repetition, and drill. Another term is cramming, which is when a person tries to memorize a large amount of information in a short period of time. Other synonyms may include regurgitation, recitation, and parroting. While this method has been used for centuries, some argue that it does not promote critical thinking or true understanding of the material. Alternative learning methods such as active learning or concept mapping may be more effective in retaining information and promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
