Study Notes
- Strategies in selecting and organizing information, like brainstorming, graphic organizers, and outlining, facilitate cognitive processes and improve comprehension.
- Breaking down bigger ideas into smaller representations aids in understanding and retention of concepts.
Brainstorming
- Brainstorming generates ideas within a group or individual setting.
- It helps to tap ideas and concepts, establish patterns, and develop relationships among these concepts.
- Brainstorming tools include:
Idea List
- Start with broad topics and narrow down to related topics.
- Example:
- Topic: Global health issues
- Narrower Topic: COVID-19 global pandemic
- Even Narrower Topic: Effects of COVID-19 in business, economy, travel and tourism, education
Concept Map
- Begins with a central concept and adding branches for subtopics.
- Additional topics are explored by adding more branches.
- Example:
- COVID-19 with branches like prevention, symptoms.
- Prevention: Wash hands often, Keep safe distance, Stay home
- Symptoms: Tiredness, Fever, Dry cough
Outlining
- Outlines serve as a road map or blueprint to organize ideas by showing hierarchical relationships or logical ordering.
- Two ways to write an outline:
- Topic outline: Uses words or phrases as headings, without punctuation.
- Sentence outline: Uses full sentences.
- Four principles in creating effective outlines:
- Parallelism: Use the same grammatical order for words (parallel grammatical structure).
- Coordination: Arrange ideas according to their value or importance. Ideas of the same relevance are labeled similarly.
- Subordination: Arrange ideas in levels of significance, such as major and minor points.
- Division: Separate points using a consistent basis of division and distinction.
