Successful students
7-8
7 . . . . Understand that
actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior
affect their feelings 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
their learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they
can put 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 to long-term memory. You
really don’t “know” materials until you can put it into words. So, next time
you study, don’t do it silently. Talks about notes, problems, reading, etc.
with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, and pretend your
teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” producers a whole host of memory trace
that result in more.
Choose
the right!!!!!
