Skills for study or for learning (April 4th)

Study skills are the skills you need to enable you to study and learn efficiently – they are an important set of transferable life skills.






INDEPENDENT LEARNERS

The following are characteristics of a successful student.           

👊

Develop these in yourself                            Ask questions
Discuss topics with your peers                     If you don’t understand something,
speak up

You are responsible for your own learning

‘Ideas are funny things, they don’t work unless you do’
‘Learning is not filling the bucket, but the lighting of the fire’


STUDY TIMETABLE

Study sessions just don’t happen when you feel like doing them.
They need to be scheduled on an organised timetable.
Your study timetable should rule your life.

Some tips

Don’t study after 11.00pm

Divide time equally between subjects

Put a copy somewhere to keep parents informed

Revise your study timetable – things change

Stick to it !

“Well done is better than well said”

STUDY SESSIONS

How do you study?
What are you supposed to do?

Study has 3 parts
Organising subject matter efficiently
Getting ongoing day to day work and assignments done
Researching and revising work for exams

Don’t make study sessions too long
Drink some water before you start
Break tasks down into smaller manageable ones
Do daily summaries of work covered in class in your own words under Main Points
Set a task to achieve for each session

Record your plan of attack for each session
Practise skills learned by doing problems, exercises and essays
Aim to build a clear understanding by connecting areas of knowledge
These sessions are the backbone of your Study Programme

‘ Some succeed because they are destined to: 
      most succeed because they are determined to.’

PRIORITIZING
When do you study?
How often?
What about the other things you do?

Write down :
The fixed things that you have to do

Time you have no control over – the ‘musts’

Activities where you have a choice of the ‘options’
