The Methods Of The Practice Of Study

After reading about the “six hour D”, I have been interested to see how my own studying techniques compare to that of a successful and comprehensive studier. When I study for tests, I typically read through all of my notes, each of the texts, and every one the power points before even thinking about self-testing. I realize now that going through large amounts of material without actually taking the time to see if I am truly grasping each idea included in the material may not be the greatest studying technique; since, even though I do self-test at the end of my studying sessions, I tend to wait till I believe I understand every part of the material.

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

To be able to assess all five psychological approaches to study you need to understand what they are and how they work. All five approaches have their own strengths and weaknesses and they all have their own theories which explain human behaviour, the only problem is not all of them agree that their theories and studies are correct.

What goes through your mind when you read? Do you read deliberately, looking for certain aspects, or do you read as a blank slate? When reading, professors expect a deliberateness that will help you to uncover meanings that are not readily apparent. Thomas C. Foster in his book “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” expands on this concept. He endeavors to instruct his readers in the way he believes they should read, in order to get the most out of each book. He concedes that, “When lay readers encounter a fictive text, they focus, as they should, on the story and the characters” but to truly read like a professor you must also divert a portion of your attention on

How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C Foster is a how to do book that teaches children how to become better readers. The novel was written in second person. The purpose of this novel is to inform readers on details that they wouldn’t usually realize in literature. Students who read Thomas C Foster’s How to Read Literature like a Professor are suppose to gain knowledge of how to identify details of their story that have connections to other literature or have alternative meanings that the author is trying to get across to the reader. Thomas C Foster believes reading his novel can help develop you into a better reader. He believes this because the information that he includes can apply to your reading. When you

After reading the article I want to change my study habits some. My goal is to implement the strategy previously mentioned. I think self-testing myself as I read will allow for much more long term absorption of material. In addition, to increasing the skills in how I read I want to learn to create study questions for myself. When study guides are not provided it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the idea of exams. However, we can train ourselves to recognize important information and create our own study questions to be able to answer before exam day. Self-testing and self-created study questions are going to my new approach at studying.

In the first video “Beliefs That Make You Fail… Or Succeed” Dr. Steven Chew started off by stating you, the student, cannot become an A student overnight with little to no effort. He made a great point by saying “…students base their study behavior on their beliefs of how they best learn”, I agree with this statement because this could be the reason as to why everyone learns in many different ways. He went over three key facts which fall under “Beliefs That Make You Stupid”, which the first was you should always plan ahead of time because your assignments or reading will most likely take longer than you expected them to, therefore be realistic about your timing. The second key fact would be don’t isolate your learning, this meaning to be open minded because teachers look for conception and if you try to constantly remember the things you’re not really understanding what you’re going over. Thirdly, you aren’t born and automatically good at that subject. You must actually work towards achieving a high success in that subject matter. When it comes to being distracted you’re just losing more

There are several techniques one can use to integrate deliberate practice into their education and career. When it comes to college, or any level of education deliberate practice can help a student fully understand a concept, or learn something new. It involves more than just completing a test or assignment. You have to give it your all, and not just think of it as finishing an assignment and being done with it. To fully integrate this type of learning into your education you have to change your mindset. A lot of students go to class, learn, take notes, and do homework, but plenty do it with the intentions of getting done. They don’t do the homework with the goal of understanding the subject, or ask for

The No Child Left Behind and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act entail that students with disabilities or special needs to be open to the overall education and determine the progress of the child. Three unsurpassed practice strategies for supporting young children on the autism spectrum (including Asperger's Syndrome) in an early learning environment. The first strategy is reinforcement. Reinforcement is a critical strategy of evolving and maintaining the enthusiasm of this type of student. A teacher must use objective or actions that the students would like or enjoy that can be obtainable behavior. In my field experience observed I have seen the Pre-K teacher use the computer and smartboard to interact with the class as well

After seeing the video of professor Chew’s talk on “How to get the most out of studying, part 1” I realize the mistakes I’m doing when I’m studying. I been doing the same mistake since high school and now I know why I was struggling so much in some classes. Because I was multitasking most of the time when I was studying and being over confidents about knowing the topic I wasted a lot of time learning.

When I was a child, I had a need for perfection in my academic pursuits - I focused on getting every question on my tests right. My father would shake his head disapprovingly at this strategy. He told me, “education is not only what you learn, but also how you will put what you learned into use.” At the time, I couldn’t understand what he meant, but as I grew older, realizing that it’s impossible to memorize every detail I read, I understood the importance of making my knowledge practical.

Another common but ineffective form of studying is re-reading or highlighting material. This is one of the most popular forms of study and is used throughout high

Effective study skills help a student to learn and build a sound education, but what works for one student may not work for another. A student needs to look at the different types of techniques available and see what works for them.

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.
