Study Notes
Study Skills: Learning How to Learn
- The presentation is about study skills and effective learning techniques for undergraduate students.
- Learning in university is fundamentally different from secondary school learning.
- Active and deep learning is key for success in university and beyond.
- The lecturer encourages students to identify their learning styles.
- Different learning styles exist (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, reading/writing, reflector, theorist, activist, pragmatist). Learning style is a combination of how students perceive and process information.
- Different learning styles have unique characteristics. Visual learners prefer visual aids, auditory learners prefer listening, kinesthetic learners prefer hands-on activities, and verbal learners prefer written and spoken words.
- Classical learning styles include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, verbal (linguistic), logical (mathematical), social (interpersonal).
- Understanding your learning style is crucial to maximize learning efficiency.
- Learning is not only about acquiring knowledge; it also involves skills, attitudes, values, behaviors, and understanding.
- Learning should be an active process that involves interacting with material.
- Don't be passive; interact with information and try to apply it.
- Deep learning is effective as superficial learning is easily forgotten. A forgetting curve exists whereby information is quickly lost if not actively reviewed.
- Active reflection is crucial in learning experiences, both academic and non-academic.
- The process of reflecting involves revisiting learning experiences to gain new understanding.
- A reflective cycle is a systematic approach to learning including identifying the learning event, what was learned, further learning requirements, learning methods, and further evidence for learning.
- Participating in non-academic activities can build valuable skills like communication, teamwork, decision-making, organisational, and management abilities.
- These activities play a crucial role in holistic education.
