Learning skills
Learning skills
Keep in mind the following two sentences:
“Modern astronomical research often involves a substantial amount of work in
the realms of theoretical and observational physics”
“By learning german language you'll receive women, fast cars and enormous
amount of money”
Learning skills
Learn how to learn - that´s maybe the most important skill for your future
Learning skills
How the memory works?
have a talk with your partner - what do you
know about the memory?
Learning skills
Short-term memory - working memory
3-5 units - short time
Long-term memory
a massive volume of information
awareness mind - unconscious mind
The trick is - from short-term
memory to long-term memory
Focus & repetition!
Importance of the repetition:
- straight after the reading (or the lesson)
- in the evening
- just before the next lesson
- for the exam
Learning skills
The effect of own interests
Time management
Individual exercise:
- take a paper / new document
- make a list of the five things (in addition to school) that
you spend most time with
- when the list is ready - write after each thing a number
1-3:
1 = It is very important and I should do more that
2 = It is important and I spend enough time with it
3 = It is not that important and I shouldn't use that much time with it
Time management
Do you do the things most that you appreciate
most?
Evaluation
How did you studied in the secondary school? What
was your strengths and weaknesses in studies? How
much time you spend with homework?
Have a talk with your partner that how you could study
better in IB-school?
