Iterative learning through replication

Iterative learning through replication is a learning strategy that recognizes rote copying as a valid and necessary initial step in the skill acquisition process.^[Features.md]

This approach addresses the common feeling among beginners that they are merely "copying and pasting" without deep understanding.^[Features.md] It posits that no learner achieves full mastery after a single exposure; rather, initial attempts may lack comprehension but are essential for progress.^[Features.md]

To solidify skills, the method often encourages performing a complete installation or build process (such as setting up a Jenkins environment) a second time.^[Features.md] By repeating the workflow, learners transition from passive replication to active understanding, allowing them to identify details that were missed during the first iteration.^[Features.md]
