Rote learning

[1] For instance, one illustration of rote learning can be observed in preparing quickly for exams, a technique which may be colloquially referred to as "cramming".

More than ever, school mathematics must include an understanding of how to use technology to arrive meaningfully at solutions to problems instead of endless attention to increasingly outdated computational tedium.

[3]However, advocates of traditional education have criticized the new American standards as slighting learning basic facts and elementary arithmetic, and replacing content with process-based skills.

These people would argue that time is better spent practicing skills rather than in investigations inventing alternatives, or justifying more than one correct answer or method.

This pattern requires that the machine can be modeled as a pure function — always producing same output for same input — and can be formally described as follows: Rote learning was used by Samuel's Checkers on an IBM 701, a milestone in the use of artificial intelligence.
