Refer to my experiences of learning I had a simple learning strategy that I called Prepare-Learn-Repeat. This simple structure was worked. Prepare the lesson before the class started usually give me the roughly idea about the contents of lesson. I usually outline the main points to assist me to understand the new knowledge more efficiently. Then following the teacher in the class to learn, I usually write down the notes then compare them with my outline in order to find out the contents I missed. Repeat includes that finish the homework, required readings, extra reading and practice from the resources (most from bookshop) other than the text book. Sometimes need to keep repeating until I remembered the contents, formula, vocabulary even the entire article. I preferred to use Table, picture and form help me to remember and learn, especially with subjects such as History, Mathematic, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. After high school, I began my undergraduate study in Melbourne, this learning strategy help me to overcome my language barriers. The difference was that besides the lecture, tutorial and group discussion, online search engines, school online database and library provided the most important support through my entire period of university study.
I was an oversea student moved to Australia 16 years ago from China. I finished my high school in China and Bachelor of business marketing degree in Australia. I was 18 and as an international student, I must attend
What is the best way to study effectively? Is it reading the text repetitively until a comprehension is reached or is it to read and then self-quiz in order to ensure an understanding of the studied information? Sometimes students put a lot of time and effort into preparing for an exam only to be unhappily surprised when they do not perform as expected on the test. The reason a student scored badly on an exam that they did in fact study for would be influenced by their studying techniques.
The first step to successfully study for any type of material is to keep the material organized and make sure the information is correct. A good routine would be to check notes periodically
The final way of learning is the read and write style. This method could be efficient in some places. Although, sometimes you will not have time to write things down. A professor will be speaking and take no breaks and you will miss some information. You might be in a lab experimenting, and you will not even be near a notebook to write. The problem with reading is that sometimes you are giving more than you actually can read. You won’t always have the time to work in reading with your schedule. It would just be too
I have learned while in college that the best ways for me to learn are by being able to see or write down something because it is something that I can review and still be able to grasp the concept when it is needed for a test. This strategy was helpful when I was in my English and math class. The second thing that also helps is viewing models because there is something that is tangible which makes it so much easier for me to be able to learn this is the strategy that I used while in my biology. The help of peers has also helped me with my learning process as well because there is not as much pressure when going up and talking to the teacher about what is wrong.
During any lecture classes, take notes. You don't have to write down everything that your teacher says. Try to synthesis the information and write down the big idea as well as important vocabulary words. You should be able to look back at your notes and fill in the details on your own. Learning how to take effective notes takes practice; don't get down on yourself if your first few attempts are not that helpful, just keep practicing.
Another strategy, is reviewing your notes. I find that it’s easy to forget what we have wrote down. Reviewing your notes allows maximum recall of the material you write down. Recording the general main idea and details can be more useful than verbal notes. Notes serve to record information for recall and should show the main points of the lecture in an organized manner so that the relationship between points and details are easy to tell apart.
This student’s preferred learning strategy compared to the learning strategy provided by V.A.R.K. is almost identical. The learning strategies that have been used throughout her education have always netted good results, which is evident by her grades. In the past other students have commented about her learning style and the amount of time spent on note taking, outlines, and writing out note cards, but she has perfected this process for her learning style.
This relates to how Professor Dewey says it is easy to feel like you are understanding with your study resources close to you. Flashcards are fairly effective for me. The repetition makes ideas stick. I usually color code them to so I have something tangible to associate with them as well. My study habits are not absolutely terrible but they could definitely use some work.
Materials for this Cornerstone will be used as tools to help gather information for the seminar discussion. Consider collaborating with the Library Media Specialist at your school to designate time(s) for students to use the Library and/or Computer Lab (if available) to gather information using a variety of digital sources.
The author has designed the personal learning plan around the diagnosis of his learning needs, statement of specific learning objectives, learning resources and strategies, evidence of accomplishment, how the evidence will be validated, and how the learning will be evaluated. I will concentrate on the five disciplines: Systems Thinking, Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Visions, and Team Learning introduced by Peter M. Senge. This will allow me to expand my leadership abilities at my current job as well as jobs that I may hold in the future. What distinguishes leaders is the clarity and persuasiveness of their ideas, the depth of their commitment, and the extent of their openness to continually learning
A range of different and useful topics have been discussed since the start of Pathways to lifelong learning, some of which I found to be of particular help. The college expectations which we learned towards the beginning of the course was especially helpful to learning how to become a critical thinker, something that was not very touched upon throughout my time in high school. I now use Bloom’s Taxonomy when beginning to prepare for an important paper or presentation. In addition to the first chapter, I had also found great help in the second chapter on the skills needed to succeed in school. In the past, I used rehearsal as my main strategy to memorize for any upcoming tests or exams, however that often resulted in either retrieval failure or ineffective encoding. I now use chunking and elaboration as my main strategies to studying as I find it most effective when studying and retrieving information, especially when I am needing to memorize and learn a big amount of material.
Training is only as effective as it can be measured. Planning and implementing a training program is only the first part. Trainers need to be able to evaluate and measure the impact the training has on the organization. One tool to help measure the impact of training is Kirkpatricks’ model. This paper looks at what the Kirkpatricks’ model is, how ABM’s training will be measured, and what tools will be used to accomplish the evaluation.

In order to successfully study in Australia you will need to apply for admission to a studying institution of your choosing. You will also need to obtain a student visa from the Australian Government. You will need to meet both of these requirements accordingly.
Besides, I have the problem to find the key points and important facts during the lectures, and I am wasting my time writing down the points which not necessary. I cannot see the overall concept which the lectures try to deliver and the important ideas. I don’t want this to be a problem for me anymore as it may affect my study and my concentration during lecture time. So I make a step to seek and think what the main concept is, and I try relating all the ideas of the course so that I can see clearly the overall picture and understand the topics that I learn. I also read the notes and make an effort to understand the lesson that will teach before going to the lecture. This helps me to give the overall idea of new topic that I will learn.
