Many people consider being a genius to be a rare
gift that only the very few privileged are born with. But that might not
necessarily be the case. There is another opinion that with the right
combination of a positive learning environment, motivation and a good learning
technique any student can succeed in an academic field. This is a view shared
by teacher Santash Prem at Malet Lamber School amongst many others in the world
of teaching.
This winning combination is often underestimated
by both the student and the teacher. This combination is a learn skill,
possibly one that is not mentioned by most teachers or educational
institutions. It is a skill that should be learned by both the student and the
teacher.
Study skills include that all important skill,
learning how to actually learn. That may seem a little obvious but it is
certainly an important one. Not only does it help during a students school
education and tertiary education, but also it is a skill that will be used
later in life.
Although not all students will take the same
approach to learning. Some students often prefer a more methodical technique.
Those students prefer to a logical approach, preferring instead to process data
and breaking information into manageable chunks to easily remember those bites
of information.
An alternative would be less methodical learning
without that structure in place. Instead the student could reply on a loci
memory improvement technique. This technique works by using visual aids to help
remember key pieces of information. There are many different learning
techniques. As every student is different, each will find a technique to which
they might be suited.
As you can probably imagine people will learn
much more effectively if the information is presented in a more logical or
organized fashion. Also by presenting this information in small chunks can make
the task of learning key information much less daunting for the student.
Effectively taking away the press and making the learning process and more
positive one.
However it is not just how a student studies
that determines success. You might have often heard the term ‘positive learning environment’ used. A positive one is always going to be
a better environment in which to learn. If a student tries to learn something
reluctantly under pressure or even conclusion then learning is naturally going
to be more difficult.
The drafting process when used effectively can
further enhance the learning process for gathering thoughts and ideas
coherently on paper. Although when looking for the right technique it is always
a good idea to look at various learning techniques to find the most effective
for the learner.
Although it is important to stress also the
importance of taking breaks during study and perhaps taking some light physical
exercise such as walking. A change of scenery can often help the learner in
keeping a little focused. It is essential to ensure that appropriate breaks are
taken between studies.
