STUDY SKILLS

• Study skills or study strategies are approaches

applied to learning.

• They are generally critical to success in school.

• Considered essential for acquiring good grades,

and useful for learning throughout one's life.


#1

• Set time for your study, work, play.

• Leave a white space in your schedule.

• This prevents you from feeling overwhelmed.


#2

• Dedicate a special area for your study.

• A certain room or a special area at home.

• This allows you to focus.

• Let your family know when you start studying.


#3

• Reward yourself.

• A little nap may be useful.

• Watching your favorite TV show,

etc.


#4

• Appreciate the impact of the 10-15 minutes.

• Always set something handy that you can study

when you have only 15 minutes to go.

• Like notes, flash cards or outlines.


#5

• What if you revised when others are still

learning!

• Stay one day ahead of the class.

• Any how you should study, review and revise.


#6

• Teach yourself by teaching things to others.

• When you explain something to some one else,

if he gets it, know that you already got it too.


#7

• Study every day.

• Avoid accumulation.

• At the beginning of the year, 1 or 2 hours may help you be on top of things.

• later on, more time is needed daily to keep up with the lessons.


#8

• Do not underestimate the effect of breaks!

• Holidays are important for you to recharge.

• It's important to take breaks while you're studying, especially if

you're feeling tired or frustrated. Working too long on a task

can actually decrease your performance.

• When you take a break, make sure you get away from your

desk or study space. A bit of physical activity - even just a

walk around the block - can sometimes help you to look at a

problem in a different way and could even help you to solve it.

• 45 minutes rule!


#9

• Ask for help.

• If you're stuck on something, or something

just doesn't seem to make sense, you can

always ask for help.

• Talk to your teachers or lecturers about the

things you don't understand.

• Talk to your friends and fellow students too.


#10

• Know your learning style.

• You are either:

1.Auditory.

2.Visual.

3.Kinesthetic.

KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

Kinesthetic learners learn

best by moving their

bodies, activating

their large or

small muscles as they learn.


CHARACTERISTICS KINESTHETIC LEARNERS.

1. Kinesthetic learners often wiggle, tap their feet, or move their legs when

they sit.

2. Kinesthetic learners were often labeled "hyperactive" as children.

3. Because they learn through movement, kinesthetic learners often do

well as performers: athletes, actors, or dancers.

4. Kinesthetic learners work well with their hands. They may be good at

repairing work, sculpting, art, or working with various tools.

5. Kinesthetic learners are often well coordinated and have a strong sense

of timing and body movement.


KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

These are the "hands-on learners" or

the "doers" who actually concentrate

better and learn more easily when

movement is involved.


VISUAL LEARNERS

Visual learners learn

best by seeing

information.


CHARACTERISTICS OF VISUAL LEARNERS

1. Information presented in pictures, charts, or diagrams is easily remembered.

2. Visual learners have strong visualization skills. They can look up (often up to the left) an "see" the information invisibly written or drawn.

3. Visual learners can make "movies in their minds" of information they are reading. Their movies are often vivid and detailed.

4. Visual-spatial skills such as sizes, shapes, textures, angles, and three-dimensional depths are strong.

5. Visual learners often pay close attention to the body language of others (facial expressions, eyes, stance, etc.)

6. Visual learners have a keen awareness of the aesthetics, the beauty of the physical environment, visual media, or art.


AUDITORY LEARNERS

Auditory learners learn best by hearing

information. They can usually

remember information more

accurately when it has been

explained to them orally.


CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDITORY LEARNERS

1. Auditory learners can remember quite accurately details of information

they hear during conversations or lectures.

2. They have strong language skills, which include a well-developed

vocabulary and an appreciation for words.

3. The strong language skills often lead to strong oral communication

skills. They can carry on interesting conversations and can articulate

their ideas clearly.

4. Because of a "fine tuned ear," auditory learners may find learning a

foreign language to be relatively easy.

5. Auditory learners often have musical talents. They can hear tones,

rhythms, and individual notes with their strong auditory skills.
