A FEW BASIC STUDY TECHNIQUES
SCHOOL
It is a place where we learn variety of things ranging from
your curricular to your co-curricular actives.
We also learn good habits, moral values social etiquette to
interact effectively with our friends, seniors, juniors and our teachers.
No wonder school is called the Temple of Learning.
A student cannot escape the learning process because
whatever is learnt is assessed and quantified from time to time in the form of
exams.
STUDY TECHNIQUES
- IN THE CLASSROOM
- AT HOME
- WHILE STUDYING
IN THE CLASSROOM
Your attitude and application in the class determines your
level of understanding and learning.
ACTIVE: You should be prepared for the days’ lesson. So, in class, be Active i.e. actively
involved in the days’ lesson.
ALERT: To listen closely and to absorb what the teacher is
teaching
ENTHUSIASTIC: How ready you are to learn.
Keeping these things in mind you will be able to accomplish
half your learning in class.
AT HOME
Assign a special place for studies.
Should not indulge in any leisurely activities like drawing,
listening to music here
Place should be well lit, ventilated, quiet, neat, clean,
tidy and comfortable
Should never study on the bed, since the mind relates bed
with sleep, we will not be able to learn and study much here.
WHILE STUDYING
TAKE REST: Give your mind 10 minutes of rest after every
hour of study, so take a small break.
WATER: Sipping water helps to build concentration
REVISION: Stores information systematically in the brain so
that you can reproduce it when required (well that’s not important, lets delete
it or here it is again, it must be important, it must be stored)
GOLDEN RULE: Spend at least 30 minutes revising the days’
work. Weekends should be devoted to
revise the weeks’ work.
IMPORTANT ASPECT IN
THE LEARNING PROCESS
Discussion among friends and peers and teaching one another.
75% of learning takes place from discussing with others
95% of learning takes place whey you teach someone
Group work is an effective way of enhancing learning.
TO SUM UP
There is no substitute for hard work.
Learning is a lifelong process and what we learn stays with
us throughout our lives. The best time
to learn is when you are young, since life becomes too busy later.
