"force feeding learning" sounds strange.

填鸭式,读音是tián yā shì。意思是指注入式教学法。由于填鸭系强制喂食,故用以比喻只机械地对学生或学员灌输知识,而不注意对他们的理解能力和实际工作能力的培养的教学方法。
填鸭式 (pronounced tián yā shì) refers to a type of “injection-style” teaching method. The term originates from the practice of force-feeding ducks, and is used metaphorically to describe a teaching approach that mechanically pours knowledge into students or learners without paying attention to developing their understanding or practical skills.

Editor: I don't think "force feeding (as a teaching method)" sounds strange.

Wiktionary @ force-feed
- To force someone to take in information or accept an ideology.
'The teachers at this school tend to force-feed their students information, rather than encourage critical thinking and debate.'

Merriam-Webster @ force-feed
- to force to take in
'force-feed students the classics'

"We are often force-feeding curriculum to meet standards and to beat neighboring schools’ performance scores, but not really catalyzing our teachers to pursue creativity nor our students to acquire a thirst for knowledge."
[Henry Ford Learning Institute]
