Getting ready to learn
Notes:
Steps to prepare for learning
We are often as successful
as we expect to be at most
things in life and learning is
no exception. So forget any
school experiences that left
you feeling doubtful about
learning. You are no longer
the same person that you
were then, and the learning
you undertake now will not
be like school.
Relax
• Research has proven that stress reduces
our ability to learn.
• Take ten deep breaths, unclench your jaw
and relax your shoulders before you
attempt any learning, formal or informal.
Positive thoughts
• Make a point of remembering an
experience that made you feel great, it will
get you in a positive frame of mind.
Replenish
• A recent study found that students with
the best results in class were those who
drank up to eight glasses of water a day.
• A balanced diet also keeps our brain in
top gear. Proteins such as fish, meat and
eggs help the memory. Too many
carbohydrates can slow the brain down.
Absorb
• Four different ways of perceiving
information have been identified: visual,
verbal, reading or kinesthetic.
• We each have a preference for one or
two.

You already have a good memory. Without it you wouldn't be able to live your
life. You can help your memory work even more effectively, however, by
understanding a little of how it works.
There are seven key principles that will help you.
1. You remember the first and last items in a list best
Take frequent, short breaks to create more time for your brain to remember the
'first' and 'last' item
2. Create patterns and connections
A useful tool is to create a mnemonic
Example: 'My very energetic mother just served us noodles’ is a useful way of
remembering the planets in their correct order from the sun: Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
3. Make it surprising or odd
Advertisers use this principle to make us remember their products
Think about the Meercat adverts? The odd situations were easy to remember.
Learning styles – HE Study Skills
4. Regular review of what you are learning is essential to remember
As much as 70 per cent of what you learn in one day will be forgotten by the
next - unless you go over it again.
Review within 24 hours of learning for maximal “stick”.
If you have to take a test, two more reviews over the following week, followed
by monthly reviews until the test, will make sure the learning sticks in your
memory.
5. Emotions create strong memories
Emotions can work both positively and negatively.
If you are angry or distressed, you are unlikely to learn well. If you are happy,
the opposite is true.
6. Sleep is essential to create enduring memories
During sleep the brain appears to file away all this new information and make
sense of it, our dreams are part of that process
A good night's sleep is essential to embed the memory of what we have learnt
during the day.
7. Making mistakes helps you remember
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning. So don't let a mistake
knock your confidence.

Introduction
Studying at college makes very different demands on you compared with
secondary school
(University of Southampton, 2003).
Range
The range of study and reading at college is much wider than at school.
You will not find it possible to read everything there is to read on your subject
(University of Southampton, 2003).
Focus
In higher education the focus is on you; you will be expected to study on your
own much more than you may have been used to (University of Southampton,
2003).
Schedule
At college/university you are given much more responsibility for organising your
own schedule (University of Southampton, 2003).
Reading
You are expected to do much more reading at university than you have been
used to - it is not called ‘reading for a degree’ for nothing(University of
Southampton, 2003).
Lectures
A lot of HE teaching happens in lectures where you may be one of a relatively
large number of students.
Often it is up to you whether you attend and whether you learn anything there
(University of Southampton, 2003).
Essays
Essays at HE level are longer and require more comparing and contrasting; you
need to write in an objective academic style and give references (University of
Southampton, 2003).
Time scale
Essays and assignments are often set weeks before you have to hand them in.
Plus, you will not necessarily be reminded of the submission date (University of
Southampton, 2003).
100% isn't everything
There are many subjects in which it is impossible to get 100%.
First Class Honours Degrees are awarded for a ‘high level of critical and
analytical ability’ and ‘originality of thought’ rather than for just getting the
answers right (University of Southampton, 2003).
Summary
All of this means that the ways of studying which helped you get to college may
not be enough now that you are here.
Learning styles – HE Study Skills
Knowing your learning style is the first step in being successful at college.
In the study skills course you will be taught thirteen key skills required for HE
success. You need to make the most of these lectures and seminars (University
of Southampton, 2003).

Perceiving information
Notes:
V.A.R.K Learning Style
When we gather and
interpret information
about the world around
us (including the
information we need in
order to study), we
employ all our senses
This is what is called
perceiving
information.
But some of us employ
one sense more than
others. The V.A.R.K.
system (described by
Fleming, 2001)
assesses how much
people rely on:
• Visual (sight)
• Auditory (hearing),
• Reading and
• Kinesthetic (touch,
temperature and
movement).

Advice for VARK learning styles
Introduction
Learning styles are not just a matter of intellectual curiosity; they affect every
student at university/college.
That means you may need to translate the style of university/college teaching
and learning that arises from them into something that you find easier to
understand.
You will need to make the most of your strengths as a learner, and practice
strategies that will allow you to build up the weaker areas.
Advice for visual learners
Use visual materials such as pictures, charts, and maps
Use colour to highlight texts and own notes (MS Office products have the
highlight feature built in)
Take notes or use handouts; look carefully at headings and patterns of topics
Use multi-media where possible (computers; mind maps)
Brainstorm using pictures, mind maps and models
Study in a quiet place away from visual disturbances
Skim-read to get an overview before reading in detail
Visualise information as a picture
Further advice for visual learners http://www.varklearn.com/english/page.asp?p=visual
Advice for audio learners
Participate frequently in discussions and debates
Make speeches and presentations
Use a voice recorder if possible instead of (or as well as) making notes
Speak onto a voice recorder and listen to your own ideas played back
Create musical jingles and mnemonics to aid memory
Discuss your ideas verbally
Read text aloud
Dictate to someone else while they write your ideas down
Further advice for audio/aural learners http://www.varklearn.com/english/page.asp?p=aural
Advice for read/write learners
Put instructions into your own words
Follow step-by-step instructions over oral or visual demonstrations
Tend to prefer to keep their notes as neat and uncluttered as possible.
Further advice for read/write learners http://www.varklearn.com/english/page.asp?p=readwrite
Learning styles – HE Study Skills
Advice for Kinaesthetic learners
Take frequent study breaks
Use bright colours to highlight reading material and turn it into posters or
models
Skim-read before reading in detail
Stand up to work
Move around to learn new things (e.g. read while you are using an exercise
bike; model in clay to learn a new concept)
Further advice for kinesthetic learners http://www.varklearn.com/english/page.asp?p=kinesthetic
Advice for multimodal learners
If you have multiple preferences you are in the majority as approximately 60%
of the population fits that category.
You may have two or three strong preferences or even across all four modes.
For example one person had scores of V=6, A=6, R=6, and K=6. She said that
she adapted to the mode being used or requested. If the teacher or supervisor
preferred a written mode she switched into that mode for her responses and for
her learning.
An interesting piece of information that people with multimodal preferences
have told us is that it is necessary for them to use more than one strategy for
learning and communicating.
Alternatively those with a single preference often "get it" by using the set of
strategies that align with their single preference.

Notes:
Method of processing information
Once you have acquired the information (by listening, reading, etc...), you
then process it mentally, as you think about it and memorise it.
You will have a natural preference for how you:
(a) grasp information
• do you prefer to deal with:
– abstract concepts and
generalisations, or
– concrete, practical examples?
(b) order information
• would you rather receive facts:
– in a logical, sequential way,
little bits at a time or
– with an overview straight
away, big picture then focus
on details
(c) engage with information
• do you prefer:
– active experimentation or
– reflective observation?
(d) organise information
– with a holistic overview or
– with detailed and logical
analysis
(e) present information
– verbally or using images.

Honey & Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ)
Advice for Activists
Activists like to be involved in new experiences and are enthusiastic about new
ideas. They enjoy doing things and tend to act first and consider the
implications afterwards. They are unlikely to prepare for the learning experience
or review their learning afterwards.
Activists learn best when:
involved in new experiences
problems and opportunities
working with others in team tasks or role-playing
being thrown in the deep end with a difficult task
chairing meetings, leading discussions
Activists learn less when:
listening to lectures or long explanations
reading, writing or thinking on their own
absorbing and understanding data
following precise instruction to the letter
Positives
Flexible and open-minded
Learning styles – HE Study Skills
Happy to have a go
Happy to be exposed to new situations
Optimistic about anything new and therefore unlikely to resist change
Risks
Often take unnecessary risks
Tendency to take immediate obvious action without thinking
Tendency to do too much themselves and hog the limelight
Rush into action without sufficient preparation
Get bored with implementation and consolidation
Advice for Reflectors
Reflectors like to view the situation from different perspectives. They like to
collect data, review and think carefully before coming to any conclusions. They
enjoy observing others and will listen to their views before offering their own.
Reflectors learn best when:
observing individuals or groups at work
reviewing what has happened and thinking about what they have learned
producing analyses and reports doing tasks without tight deadlines
Reflectors learn less when:
acting as leader or role-playing in front of others
doing things with no time to prepare
being thrown in at the deep end
being rushed or worried by deadlines
Positives
Careful
Thorough and methodical
Thoughtful
Good at listening to others and assimilating information
Rarely jumps to conclusions
Risks
Tendency to hold back from direct participation
Slow to make up their minds and reach a decision.
Tendency to be too cautious and not take enough risks
Not assertive - they aren’t particularly forthcoming and have no ‘small talk’

Notes:
Strategies to alter your learning style
We use all styles
We all exhibit traits from each learning
style, to a greater or lesser degree. You
should not feel that you are stuck in a
style of learning.
Mix it up
Effective learners make full use of their
natural preferences, while also acquiring
useful features from their less dominant
styles. We are not stuck with our
predispositions.
Practice
Just as with any skill (such as dancing,
skiing, drawing or speaking another
language), practising it builds up your
confidence and competence. We all
have incredible potential to acquire new
skills, and to learn in new ways.
Try another style
You may find it helpful to try a totally
different approach, like reading some
text while you walk around the room, or
using an exercise bike (kinesthetic), or
read or sing it aloud (auditory).
Adapt the learning style to the task
You should feel free to adopt the
learning strategies which are most
appropriate for a particular task, or a
particular stage in the learning process.
