What Learning Method Is This?

I'm not sure if this an okay post for here. Haven't found any other sub's that seem fit.

I've recently acknowledged the fact that I learn things better from reverse engineering them. For example: with programming I learn better from reverse engineering a section of code than if you explained how to build it and what it does.

Is this any particular method of learning? Or systemic of a more general methodology of learning?

Thanks in advance!
