The Difference Between Study Skills, Study Techniques And Study Methods

When one considers learning and study, one must always bear in mind that there are three aspects that are important:

Study Skills:

To study the ability of all students succeed depends to a large extent its power of baseline studies, namely its ability to concentrate, perceive correctly and accurately, and the ability to remember what has been perceived.

Study skills should not be confused with learning techniques and learning methods. The difference between them can be explained by the football game as an example. For a player dribbles a person must first master the basic skills of football, passing for example, heading and ball. Only then can it be taught techniques and methods. Similarly, a good student, the student must master the basic study.

Mnemonic training is often done without the leadership in this way sequential learning in mind. A mnemonic is a specific reconstruction of target content intended to bring new information to keep the state of knowledge of learners and thus facilitate recovery. There are a variety of mnemonic techniques, including pegwords keywords, acronyms, loci methods, spelling mnemonics, mnemonics phonetic sound mnemonic number, and the Japanese “Yodai” methods. An example of an acronym, word recall, homes for the names of the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior and reuse. The order number is a mnemonic to a series of numbers, such as phone numbers, addresses, do not forget to register or combinations of historical data. In order to use them to teach students the first issue of healthy relationships: 0 = s 1 = t 2 = n 3 = m 4 = R 5 = l 6 = sh, ch, or soft g, 7 = k, hard c, g or hard, 8 = F or V, and 9 = P. To remember the date 1439, for example, the learner uses the associated consonant, T, R, m and p, and inserts vowels to create a sense of the word or words can be used in this case, “vagabond” word.

However, there are at least two problems in improving memory through mnemonic instruction. The first problem is as already mentioned – that for the sequential order of learning. Mnemonics instruction is, has learned a great deal of instruction in the techniques of memory, which should be informed only after the memory capacity was. It can be likened to a person taught the tactics of football like the passage of the “wall” while he was still not enough, the art of the ball, as in ‘football dominates Knowabout said: ” No matter how good your passing technique, if the quality of your transmission is bad, is not the technique to be effective. “The second problem is that by teaching only memory crutches, the result indicating Scruggs and Mastropieri, to test generalization of complex applications [are] less successful.” If the art of memory is taught, students can apply in any situation.

Learning:

There are three learning techniques that are used for further study can be successful

1. Association: This is probably the most important and effective of all methods of learning, one of which is probably the most commonly used mnemonics Technology Association.

2. Thinking in images: it is capable of much better; remember that in the eye of the mind that what was thought, the abstract. Therefore, we must always try to think consciously in terms of images.

3. Reduce the frequency of brain waves: The brain usually oscillates at 20 cycles per second or more. Dr. Georgi Lozanov was probably the first to discover that when the frequency of brain waves reduced, more effective study possible. He found that the slow play Baroque music can reduce the frequency of brain waves. Jose Silva was probably the first to discover a way to the desire to reduce the frequency of brain waves at.

Methods of study:

Most learners have a bad habit of just studying the night before a test or exam. There are two drawbacks to this method of study:

1. There was never a regular practice of study skills.

2. It has been shown that in 24 hours – on average – an oversight to 80%, what you’ve learned. But if the study material is reviewed after 24 hours, it takes 7 days before the 80% is forgotten, and when a new review is done at this point, it takes 30 days to 80% forgetting.

Research has shown that if the right model or reviewing the material under investigation will follow, memory consolidation is improved significantly, and total time spent learning drastically reduced. The following samples of the first study and further examination will certainly very good results:

1. Establish a schedule which is divided into study periods of 30 minutes. The first day was held during which the new schedule; take the first study period to learn the details of the study material. It should be short enough that it can be recorded in about 15 minutes. Here is the full course in use, as you know quickly if you continue reading, you have to study only about 15 minutes in each study period of 30 minutes to create and absorb new elements. The remaining time is devoted to the examination of material already learned. The work must be combined with thorough investigations into these 30 minutes. Pause for 5 minutes at the end of the study period.

2. Review after 5 minutes. Take 3 minutes to the next study period on the study material of the earlier period before considering the new material is reviewed again and resumed a full investigation.

3. Looking back after 24 hours. Take 3 minutes for the material that was studied was the night before. Then take 3 minutes for the work that has been studied before 5 minutes prior to study and examine data from new material.

4. Review after 7 days. Take 3 minutes to review the work that was before 7 days before the examination of the work covered by the survey was to examine the day, and then consider the work that has been examined in 5 minutes.

5. Examination after 30 days. Take 3 minutes to review the work that was before the 30 days before reviewing the work of the last 7 days, then it will be reviewed before 24 hours, then was made 5 minutes.

6. Looking back after 120 days. Take 3 minutes for the work that has been studied before 120 days of consideration, then the work that has been discussed before 30 days before reviewing the work of the last 7 days, then it is more than 24 hours, then of Forward 5 minutes.
