Study Notes
Learning and Studying
- Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, preferences, and understanding.
- Learning should be demonstrable.
- University learning is different from secondary school learning.
- In university, learning sources expand beyond teachers and books to include the internet and peers.
- University goals transcend passing exams, focusing on professional training and lifelong learning.
- University assessment includes written exams, practicals, oral exams, and clinical exams.
Deep and Active Learning
- Superficial learning is quickly forgotten and doesn't translate into practical application.
- Deep learning is important for lifelong learning and adaptability.
- Active learning engages with information through interactions like summarizing, drawing diagrams, attempting practice papers, and actively engaging with concepts.
- Revisit, repeat, and revise materials to move information from short-term to long-term memory.
- The forgetting curve illustrates the rapid decline in memory over time.
- Frequent review significantly combats this decline.
Learning Styles
- Learning styles describe how individuals perceive and process information.
- Common learning styles include:
- Visual: Learn by seeing
- Auditory: Learn by hearing
- Kinesthetic: Learn by doing
- Verbal: Learn through language
- Logical: Learn through reason
- Social: Learn through interaction
- Each style has specific characteristics and methods for enhancement.
Reflective Learning
- Reflective learning involves revisiting experiences to gain insights and improve future performance.
- The reflective cycle consists of:
- Identifying the learning event
- Reflecting on what was learned
- Identifying gaps in knowledge
- Developing strategies to fill those gaps
- Gathering evidence for learning and change
Holistic Education
- Participation in non-academic activities provides valuable learning opportunities.
- These activities contribute to developing skills in communication, teamwork, leadership, decision-making, organization, management, attitude, and personal development.
- Engaging in diverse activities promotes holistic education.
