The daily schedule for many young students today could rival that of
several top-level executives. With soccer practice, dance, scouts and
clarinet lessons taking up much of the evening, when do students get to
focus on their studies? Too often students get overwhelmed with the
amount of work left over at the end of the day. They look at study time in
one big sum and get distracted and exhausted before they even begin.
To solve this problem, you may not be able to adjust your child's
schedule, but they can change their study techniques.
Here are 3 study techniques that will help any student maximize their
study time.ß They should start by separating and segmenting their study time.
Break it up into smaller bits. No matter how brilliant you are a
concentrated attention span lasts only about 20 minutes. So break your
2 or 4 hours study sessions into groups of 15 or 20 minutes. During the
break, stand-up, walk around, grab a bit to eat or something to drink and
then get back to the grind for another 15 or 20 minutes. This not only
helps create spaced repetition, which is crucial for retention, but helps
make study sessions less stressful and daunting.ß Another tool to help in maximizing study time is to use random
practice. When reviewing lists or concepts don't go in order. Skip
around to force your brain to pull from an entire group of information.
This aids in understanding the purpose or meaning behind a concept
instead of merely its place in line. The simplest way to implement
random practice is through the use of a study partner.ß Use a Study Partner. When at all possible, it is very beneficial to
study with another student who shares the same educational goals and
motivation. A study partner can help identify areas of weakness and
ensure that topics don't get skipped. It's also beneficial to witness how
another student takes in and stores information. For this reason and
others, it is better for the study partner to be another student, but parent
don't be afraid to fill this position. The progress gained from working
with a partner is general is worth it.Proper and efficient study techniques will follow a student through all
levels of education and learning. Establishing good habits and skill
sets, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at the time, will
prove to reap massive rewards in the long run. So while little Johnny
and Suzy might need their first day planners before the third grade, don't
let it stop them from becoming the best students they can.Roger Seip is a nationally known memory trainer. He has helped
