Our Programs Deliver Results

How will we upgrade your mind?

Do you often feel overloaded with all the information you are expected to retain? In the modern environment, we are constantly being asked to perform more efficiently. Competition and the notion of continuous improvement are central to our society. We are always upgrading our computer systems. When was the last time you upgraded your mind?

Just imagine:

  • Instantly and significantly upgrading your active recall.

  • Trusting in your abilities implicitly, giving you that competitive and creative edge.

  • Cutting research and study time in half.

  • Increasing your ability to summarise and memorise key information.

  • Effortlessly accessing all your exam and research information.

  • Becoming a more confident and productive individual

These goals and more are what MindChamps was created to achieve.


The 4 ‘A’s of Active Learning™

MindChamps’ New Brain Software® is built on a premise – supported by extensive neurological and psychological research – that effective learning is ‘active learning’, not passive. This means that students must master strategies promoting the 4 ‘A’s:

  • Active Understanding

  • Active Storage

  • Active Recall

  • Application (including the skills of Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis and Expression).
Active Understanding translates ‘information’ into ‘knowledge’. Without understanding, information cannot be effectively processed, recalled or applied to new challenges. Using MindChamps’ unique Optimal Flow Method™, our programs train students the techniques for a whole-brain approach to learning which actually promotes active understanding.

Active Storage is the name given to the strategies and techniques which advanced learners use to understand and control the information which they will need in the future. It is a result of using techniques which make optimal use of the powers of the human subconscious. This is only possible if you understand the way the brain ‘lays down’ its long-term memories and MindChamps’ years of meticulous research have resulted in a range of brain-friendly strategies for the active storage of all manner of information.

Active Recall strategies are only possible when information and understandings have been ‘stored’ actively and effectively. MindChamps’ students learn these strategies in tandem with the Active Storage strategies, so that learning, storage and recall are a seamless process. They are called ‘active’ techniques, because they do not rely on the usual ‘passive’ processes of rote- and drill-learning. They put the student in the ‘driver’s seat’ of the learning process.

Application – the 4th ‘A’ – the final key element of the active learning process. Knowledge is of little use without the skills and techniques for applying it to a range of situations which are distinct from the one in which the knowledge was acquired in the first place.

There are four phases to the Application process:
  • Analysis

  • Evaluation

  • Synthesis

  • Expression

Every situation – in school or in life – presents demands and sets challenges. The active learner, equipped with the required knowledge, first analyses the problem, determines the knowledge/skills which may be required to solve it, evaluates both the potential methods and the knowledge, synthesises an approach or a method, then expresses the solution in an appropriate form. In school, this might be an essay, a report, a review, a presentation etc. In the world beyond school, it may take the form of an action. Whatever the case, the solution is ‘expressed’ by taking some kind of action, and skills required to create a range of means for expression are the mark of a well-prepared and successful ‘active learner’.

MindChamps students at all stages are well-prepared in the 4 ‘A’s – which is why we pride ourselves on the preparedness of our graduates to face any challenge with confidence and skill.
