I've identified certain patterns and trends in "efficient learners", especially when following the same learner across multiple years, where one strategy can be highly successful one year, but directly lead to unsustainability or failure 2 or 3 years later. Unfortunately, despite decades of research on learning theory, there is not much research out there that actually considers "time-efficiency" as a variable. Most studies are in isolated lab environments where the participant learns just a single topic, is tested on basic retrieval, and there is no consideration to multiple assessments, multiple subjects, or the time taken on studying. This is actually such a big issue that I am commencing my PhD research on addressing and filling this research gap.
