time : 8-00 am - 10.00 am
name of lecturer : Prof. Madya DR. Halil bin Paino

💕Overview

💞This first topic in this Study Skills module focuses on Making the transition (from school to university) concentrating on ice-breaking activities, as well as learning styles and characteristics of successful students.

💕Making The Transition (From School to University)

💞Making the move from being school/college to university is not an easy task. There is a need for students to make new friends, find out new things and make necessary lifestyle adjustments for them to feel at home in the new surroundings.

💕sLearning Styles & Characteristics of Successful Student

💞After the ice-breaking “getting to know you” activity, the instructor should lead the students to the next sub- topic. As cliché as it may sound, we must highlight that though students might think that they already know this pretty well, there is plenty more to this then they are actually aware of. This lead to the discussion of ‘Learning Style’ – How aware are they of their own learning style? and what is the importance of knowing what type of learners do they fall under?

💕8 Steps to College Success

1. Attend All Classes. One of the best ways to be successful in college is to attend all classes. Although you will be tested on material from the course text, most of the test question will come from lectures.

2. Become an Active Learner. Unlike high school, in college, you can’t learn all of the material just reading over it a couple of times. You need to write and recite the information to get it into long-term memory.

3. Participate in Class. If you feel a bit uncomfortable participating in class, set a goal to either ask or answer one question during each class. Once you begin participating, you’ll feel more a part of the class and will become more actively involved in the learning process.

4. Get to Know Your Lectures. Take a few minutes and stop to talk with your lecture before or after class or during office hours. Ask a question about the material or check on your progress in the course. If you get to know your instructors, you may feel more comfortable asking for help when you need it.

5. Form Study Group with Friends. Study Groups of about 3-4 people are known to be very effective. However, make sure that you include friends who are serious about doing well in their studies, because only then will contribute.

6. Stay Up TO Date with your work. Many new college students have difficulty keeping up with all of the reading that’s assigned in class. If you get behind in your reading, you may never have time to catch up. The workload in college just increases as the semester progresses. Never procrastinate!

7. Be Receptive to Change. If the strategies that you used in high school aren’t working, ask you lecturer or tutor for suggestion for different ways to learn. Even though the strategies that they suggest may not seem like they’ll work, you must be willing to give them a chance. If you don’t make changes in the way you take notes, read your texts or prepare for exams, for example, you won’t see changes in your performance.

8. Work Hard This Semester. Forget about doing all your assignments in the evening. If you’re taking fifteen credits this semester, you’ll need a minimum of thirty hours (two hours outside of class for every hours in class) to do your work. If you want high grades, if you work slowly or if you’re taking difficult courses, you’ll need more time to do you work well.

💕WHAT ARE GOALS?

💞Goals are the ends toward which we direct our effort.

In other words, goals are things we want to achieve, things we aim for as we pursue a certain course of action.

💞You can improve your academic performance in college by learning to set goals that motivate you to do well.

💕CHARACTERISTIC OF GOALS

💞 Goals should be self-chosen. Goals that are set by your parents, teachers, or friend may not always work for you.

💞 Goals should be moderately challenging. One way to set moderately challenging goals is to consider what you have done in the past.

💞Goals should be realistic. Think about whether your goals are attainable.

💞Goals should be measurable. A goal is measurable if you can determine whether you reached it.
💞Goals should be realistic.

💞Goals should be finite/limits/bounds. Goals need to have a limited time frame.
💞Goals should be positive. Negative goals statement tend to make you feel that you can’t really be successful, they aren’t motivating.

💕LONG- AND SORT-TERM GOALS

💞Long-term goals are the objectives you set for yourself for the end of the year, for four or five years from now, or even for a lifetime.

💞Short-term goals can be set for an hour from now, for the end of the day, week, month, or term (or semester).

💢Example: short-term goals include things like completing a reading assignment ,writing an essay, getting a B in a course, getting off probation.

💞Think of your short term goals as step toward achieving the long- term goals you’ve set for yourself.

💕ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL GOAL

💞Academic goals relate to your course work. They include things like going to class, completing assignments, and preparing for exams.

💞Personal goals, like making new friend, participating in clubs or sporting events, exercising, or even doing your laundry.

💕FIVE-STEP APPROACH TO SETTING GOALS.

💞STEP 1: Tentative Goal Statement

Ex: I want at least a B in biology.

💞STEP 2: List of Obstacles

Ex: I have trouble following the lecturer, and I struggle to take notes.

💞STEP 3: List of Resources

Ex: I will read the chapter before the lecture. I will rewrite my notes afterward.

💞STEP 4: Revised Goal Statement

Ex: I will try to earn a B in Biology

💞 STEP 5: Polished Goal Statement

Ex: I will achieve a B in Biology this semester.

💕Memory and Learning

💞What is memory?

💢The retention of information over time (Santrock, 2011) or the mind stores and remember information (mental processes / cognition), like computer software.

💞What is brain?

💢The brain is the organ, like computer hardware

💢When we earn, and remember, we will encode, store, and retrieve the information. The anology is like a computer. (Lecturer can ask students examples of computer components and what are the components analogous to human)

💞Encoding / input (computer – keyboard, camera;

human – the 5 senses; ears, mouth, nose, skin, eyes)

💞Storage (computer – hard disk, thumb drive;

human – 3 types of memory –SM,STMLTM)

💞Retrieval / output (computer – computer screen, printer;

human – writing, talking)

💞The storage (retain information)

Three different types of memory

💢Sensory memory (SM) – numerous incoming information from 5 senses will be stored in the sensory memory for an instant.

💢Short-term / working memory ( STM) – very limited storage. From the SM, information will be relayed to STM.

💢Long-term memory (LTM) – this is unlimited and large storage (like a big library with a lot of the books are analogy to information we encode and save).

💕MEMORY STRATEGIES

💞What is important?

💢Memory strategies will help students in their encoding, storing, and retrieving the information (help to remember and recall).

💞How forgetting could occur

💢Did not pay attention to the information

💢Did not understand the information

💢Cramming (last minute study)

💢Did not have good strategies

💢Interference (having 2 exams on the same day especially if the subject are closely related for example psychology and counselling.)

💢Test anxiety (negative thoughts about oneself, did not prepare well for the test)

💕Memory strategies (how to improve your strategies)

💞Massed practice vs spaced practice

💞Massed practice (not good) – cramming, involves studying all the materials at one time. Do not 💞have time to understand, remember, and organize the reading ,aterials.

💞Space practice (good, recommended) – involves space time over some period of time for studying

💞Break reading material down (again no cramming) for some period of time.

💞Rehearsal – repeat the information many times.

💞Elaboration strategies;

💞Associations

💞Acronyms / catchwords

💞Acrostics / catchphrases

💞Imagery

💞Organizational strategies

💞 Comprehension monitories strategies.

💕Strategies for improving concentration
💕Concentration – focusing your attention on what you are doing.

Causes of poor concentration

💞Lack of attention

💞Lack of interest

💞Lack of motivation

💞Distraction from others

💞Uncomfortable environment

💞Physiological matters – illness, tiredness

Psychological matters – personal problems, worries, anxieties

💕SQ3R: survey-question-read-recite-review

💞Survey: Students review the text to gain initial meaning from the tittle, subtitle and chapter.

💞Question: students try to form questions based on the preview

💞Read: as students read, they need to look for answer to the question they formed during their 💞💞preview of the text.

💞Recite: after each section, pause.

💞Review: after you have finished reading the whole reading assignment, refer back to each heading.
