If you follow these things, studying is not a big deal.
We learn from the day we are born until the day we die. There are two main ways of learning. Formal learning and informal learning. Informal learning refers to learning through the experiences of our everyday life. Formal learning is the education we receive according to a specific curriculum. We get formal education in schools and universities. Exams are a challenge that we have to face in formal education. In order to pass the exams, we need to remember the subject matter. In this article, we focus on 10 ways to help you remember in formal learning.
1. Constantly focus on your subject matter.
Attention, attention, attention.
Attention is a very important aspect to remember. The information we receive is our short term Attention is essential to transfer from memory to long-term memory. That is, constant attention to information. Always use a place for studying that is not disturbed by devices such as television, radio, etc. to maintain focus.
A clear and peaceful environment clearly affects our ability to focus. It is also very important that our inner self is clear. Especially our cleanliness. Research shows that our focus is more active when we shower, clean, and study.
2.Avoid the continuous memorization method and use a systematic term method.
Research confirms that studying with breaks according to a time frame is more effective than studying continuously. This research shows us that studying like running a marathon is not effective. We hear and see some of our friends doze off and study for hours. Maybe we do too. But often it doesn't give us the desired result. The reason for this is that the amount of time a person can concentrate on something is limited.
The maximum amount of time a healthy adult can concentrate on one thing is between 30 and 40 minutes. After that, no matter how much we study, it is often a futile attempt. Therefore, the best method is to use the term system. That is, after studying for about 30 minutes, taking a break of 5 to 10 minutes. In this break, you can listen to a song, walk outside the house and break the monotony. After that you can start studying again.
3. Always organize your subject matter.
Research shows that information always travels to the relevant part of our brain. That is, information exists in categories. We can benefit from this in our studies. By always sending our information to the relevant category, we will be able to remember it easily. Always try to group similar concepts into one category.
Our brain often remembers organized information easily.
4. Use mnemonic techniques to remember information.
Mnemonics are simple tricks to recall information. For example, associate the things you need to remember with something very close to you and remember. More effective mnemonic strategies are poems, songs, or short phrases that are satirical.
5. Study with understanding and detail.
Things studied without understanding are not remembered. In order to recall something we have studied, we need to store it in long-term memory. In this way, studying with comprehension can be considered as a more successful method of entering information into our long-term memory. Things studied without understanding are not remembered.
For example, if you want to remember a subject matter, first define that matter. Then read and study more about it. Do this a few times and you will find that you can easily remember it.
6. Match the new information with what you have learned before.
When learning something new, always look for the connection between what you have learned and what you have learned. Thus finding the connection between new facts and old facts makes recalling them very easy. The old fact comes to mind because of the new fact or the new fact because of the old fact.
7. Use mental pictures to remember.
An often successful technique is the use of mental imagery while studying. A mental image is what we remember as a picture. Diagrams, charts, and graphs are often successful in the use of mental imagery. So convert the subject matter of your long paragraph into tables, figures, graphs, etc. It is also successful to highlight important points using colored pens in your notes. Then you remember them as mental pictures.
8. Teach someone else what you have learned.
Research shows that reading aloud is a successful method of memorization. Another fact that psychologists have discovered is that when we share something we have learned with another person, our understanding and memory of that connection grows. This can be practiced by teaching a friend of yours. It will expand your understanding of what you have learned and also develop your memory.
9. Spend more time on difficult issues.
Often the beginning and end points of a chapter are easily memorized. Research shows that remembering things in between is a difficult task. Here you can achieve successful results by spending extra time on these difficult matters. Always spend extra time when the lesson is difficult.
10. Always change the way you study.
Another way to improve memory is to change the way you study from time to time. For example, if you always study from the same place, get out of it and go to another place to study. If you study in the evening, try to recall what you studied in the morning. By changing the way you study from time to time, you will be able to get better results.
Mentioned above are some of the memorizing tricks. Hope you will succeed in your endeavors by using those methods.
Happy Studying!
