Effective Learning
Everyone has different ways to learn effectively and various tools that can help achieve specific goals. Here are some ways to help you focus better before you start studying.
Preparation for Learning:
-
Clean and Declutter Your Study Space:
Take some time to clean and declutter your desk or study space. Remove any unnecessary items, papers, or clutter that might divert your attention. A clean and organized workspace can help you feel more focused and motivated to learn.
-
Creating a Visual Study Plan:
Write down your overall learning goals or topics you need to cover on separate sticky notes. Use different colored sticky notes to categorize tasks by priority, difficulty level, or subject area. Review and modify this visual study plan as you progress.
Learning techniques:
-
Mind Mapping
Write the main topic or concept on a central sticky note. Arrange related sub-topics or ideas on separate sticky notes branching out from the central note. Use lines, arrows, or spatial arrangement to show connections between ideas. Color-code sticky notes by category or level of importance.
-
Active Reading and Annotation:
As you read through texts or materials, jot down questions, key points, or reactions on sticky notes. Stick these annotated notes directly on relevant pages for easy reference. Use different colored sticky notes to categorize annotations.
-
Collaborative Learning:
During group study sessions or discussions, have each participant contribute ideas or findings on separate sticky notes. Arrange and categorize these sticky notes on a shared surface, fostering collaboration and idea exchange. Use different colored sticky notes to distinguish individual contributions.
-
Vocabulary Building:
Write new vocabulary words on sticky notes. On the back or a separate note, write the definition, usage examples, or visual cues. Review these sticky note flashcards regularly, utilizing spaced repetition techniques. Color-code sticky notes by subject or language for better organization.
-
Active Recall:
Instead of passively rereading or highlighting information, active recall involves actively retrieving information from your memory. This can be done by covering up notes or textbook passages and trying to recall the information, or by creating practice questions and quizzing yourself.
Ways to use sticky notes to practice vocabulary:
-
Vocabulary Word Walls, Write new vocabulary words on individual sticky notes. Create a designated (word wall), add sticky note words to the wall, categorizing them by topic, part of speech, etc. Regularly review and interact with the word wall to reinforce vocabulary.
-
Use sticky notes as makeshift flashcards by writing a vocabulary word on one side and the definition on the other. Review and practice recalling the words and definitions using the sticky note flashcards.
