Study Notes
Enhancement of Teaching and Learning
- Quality in education is subjective and can vary between pre-service and in-service teachers.
- Three levels of quality enhancement: micro (individual educators), meso (institutions), macro (systemic).
- Importance of documenting evidence for quality assurance and enhancement processes.
- Quality assurance involves maintaining and monitoring educational standards.
- Quality enhancement focuses on the continuous improvement of teaching, driven by evaluation data.
- Frequent reviews of courses, curriculums, and individual classes are essential for quality assurance.
- Micro-level reviews can occur daily through educator reflection.
Test Taking Coaching
- Teaching is viewed as a noble profession, requiring educators to be role models and responsible citizens.
- Self-motivation is crucial for success in obtaining a teaching license (LET).
- Establish clear goals for taking the LET, whether for employment or personal achievement.
- Understanding one’s learning style helps in devising effective study plans.
- Plan review sessions to enhance focus and efficiency while preparing for exams.
- Collaboration with peers during study sessions can facilitate idea exchange and better understanding.
- Maintaining a positive mindset and treating challenges as enjoyable can enhance motivation.
Strategies and Techniques in Studying
-
SQRRR Method: A reading comprehension strategy involving five steps:
- Survey: Quick overview of chapters to understand structure and key points.
- Question: Formulate questions based on headings and content to foster engagement.
- Read: Actively read to find answers to the previously formulated questions.
- Recite: Summarize learned material to reinforce memory, using personal words.
- Review: Reflect on the main idea of the entire passage to consolidate learning.
-
Speed Reading Techniques:
- Pointer Method: Use a finger or card to guide reading and increase pace, pioneered by Evelyn Nielsen Wood.
- Tracker-and-Pacer Method: Utilize a pen to track lines while reading for improved focus and speed.
- Scanning Method: Quickly identify key phrases and ideas without reading every word; beneficial for grasping main concepts.
- Suitable for general reading but less effective for complex materials where comprehension is critical.
-
Study Less, Study Smart:
- Break study sessions into smaller chunks (25-30 minutes) to combat diminishing retention.
- Take breaks for rewards, helping maintain motivation and focus.
- Designate a specific study area, avoiding distractions associated with other activities.
- Focus on recollection techniques by actively quizzing oneself instead of passive recognition of highlighted notes.
- Develop an effective note-taking method and review notes to reinforce understanding.
