MODULE 1: GETTING READY TO LEARN

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STUDYING IN SCHOOL VS STUDYING IN UNIVERSITY

First of all, I just want to say that transition from high school to university is a big one, an important one, and sometimes even a scary one. You’re spreading your wings, finding some new independence, and discovering new abilities and talents. And that will become apparent when you first step foot into lecture hall. It is going to be different from what you are used to, so let me give you the lowdown.Last but not less learn between studying in school vs studying in university is totally different

From a school student life to a university style life such a complicated tasks and quite challenging if you don't know how to balance your time when being at university. Also you need to stay in hostel for semester 1 that provided by the university.The saddest part is you must be away from your family. There also many new thing student need to adapt and know with the university life.

LEARNING STYLE & CHARACTERISTIC OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

8 STEPS COLLEGE SUCCESS 

1) Attend all classes early before the class started

     -As a student we need to be more punctual because time is precious like I said before being in a        university we need to balance our time so that we don't left behind.

2) Become an active learner
     -In the class students should be an active learner. How to be an active learner?.. Simple. You just asking questions as you read, make notes in your own word, summarising what you read, talking to someone about the information you're learning or thinking about how the new information fits in with things you already know and etc.

3) Participate in class
     - Be in the class every time when the lecturer had a classes and come into the class before the lecturer. In this situation  students will got all the information that be given by the lecturer. It's very important because students can gain  more knowledge to apply it in the exam.

4) Get to know your lecturers
     - This is one of our highlight point for this 8 steps. Why I said like that?... Because if students want to study it's very important for them to know about their lecturer very well. If don't then they will get into trouble . For example is when they don't know how to get into the web or something students will lost without their lecturer.

5) Form study group with friends
     - By form a study group with friends. Student can remember the points easier and can make the discussion with friends easily. But make sure friends that you choose is someone who committed with their work.

6) Stay up to date with your work
     - Students should not procrastinated their work. So they can catch up with other things and always stay up to date.

7) Be receptive to change
     - In order to success we need to make change in our study strategies. Only by that students can see how far their performance.

8) Work hard this semester
     - It's important for us to have a target in our mind to be successful. Every semester we need to increase/improve our result than last semester.


LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY

Characteristics of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Modes 

• Visual learners need to see information. If you preferred style is visual, you have strong visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures. You learn by reading, and by watching films, videos, and demonstrations. You can see pictures in your mind.
• Auditory learners need to hear information. If you preferred style is auditory, you have a "good ear" and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud will be beneficial. you can remember what you hear in a lecture.
• Kinesthetic learnes need to be physically active and doing things. If you preferred style is kinesthetic, you are a hands-on learner. You have good coordination and learn by doing. You generally have an active approach to learning.

My learning style is visual. So I'm a visual style and my way of learning is also more visual style.  

VISUAL STYLE

create mind maps, flow charts and diagrams using bright colours. Put them where you can view them frequently.

practice building your visual memory.

rewrite your notes using different colours. 

  

KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

use your hand. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move them around with large, sweeping movements.

walk and talk the information. Recite as you move.

type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

AUDITORY LEARNERS

after you read a page in your textbook, summarise the information out loud in your own words.

tape your instructor’s lecture,and if you are a commuter,listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.

discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

MODULE 5: MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

What is memory?
    ➠ Memory is the ability to save and remain the information and experience

There are three types of memory which are:

⤧ Sensory memory
     ⤿ Numerous incoming information from five senses will be stored in sensory memory for an instant. When you pay attention to the stimuli it will go to the short-term memory, but if you not pay attention it would not be last long and may lost.


⤧ Short-term memory
     ⤿ Our short-term memory have only limited storage. The information must be repeated in order to get information to long-term memory.


⤧ Long-term memory
    ⤿ Our long-term memory is unlimited and have large storage. If the information is not being used for long time, the information will be lost.

MEMORY STRATEGIES

The main reason to have strategies is to help students keep their information. 

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

     ↬ Focus your attention

     ↬ Avoid cramming 

     ↬ Utilize mnemonic devices

     ↬ Structure and organize

     ↬ Elaborate and rehearse

     ↬ Visualize concepts

     ↬ Relate new information to things you already know

     ↬ Read out loud

     ↬ Pay extra attention to difficult information

     ↬ Vary your study routine

     ↬ Get some sleep

EXAMPLE:

WHAT IS CONCENTRATION?

Concentration is a focusing your attention on what you doing.

CAUSE OF POOR CONCENTRATION:

• Lack of attention
• Lack of interest
• Lack of motivation
• Distraction from others
• Uncomfortable environment

WAYS TO IMPROVE CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES

More Study Tips

• Make the most of rest period-do something different
• Start with short study periods and build to longer periods only as fast as you maintain concentration
• If necessary, make a calendar of events to clear your mind of distraction
• Realize that you won't lose friends' respect, or a "good time" just because you're studying.
• Plan the length of your study period by the amount of material you have decided to cover, not by the clock. ( Often the clock is one of the serious distracters.)

 EXAMPLE:

CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES

How? Need to prepare earlier before the lesson started such as:

• Read a text assignment before the class
• Avoiding plagarism
• Plan to write
• Get ready
• Sitting in front of the class
• Identify a main iea of the text
• The important is become a good listener

GOOD WAY TO TAKE NOTE

The cornell method such a good system for students that we must practice in the classroom while a lesson beginning. It is more specific and we can identify the note at each part.
