Successful students
7-8
7.
… understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal
behavior affect their feeling and emotions which in turn can affect learning.
If
you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will
begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become
bored. Act like you’re disinterested , and you’ll become disinterested. So the
next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an
interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain
eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask
questions, Not only will you benefit directly from your
actions, your classmates and professor ,may also get more excited and
enthusiastic.
8. . .. talk
about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well
enough that they can put it into words.
Talking about
something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or
not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into
words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term lo
long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into
words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes,
problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize on oral
study group, pretend you’re teaching you peers. “ talk-learning” produces a
whole host of memory traces that! result
in more learning.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!
