Topic 1: Getting Ready to Learn
🎈 Making the Transition from school to university
The main difference about university is that you need to be self-motivated. There’s no-one here to prompt you, tell you what to do anymore; you’ve really got to do it on your own back.
In school, we learn more about surroundings and common sense. While in University, we will be independent than before. Our parents will usually leave us on our own hands. In University, we can decide either going to the class or skip it.

MODULE 2
         Goal Statement – The Five-Step ApproachπŸ“ŒπŸ†

What is goal?
It’s something you would like to achieve.
What is the purpose of setting goals?
Goals give you direction and keep you focused on where you want to end up.
What is goal setting?
Goal setting is a process for thinking about your ideal future and for motivating yourself to turn this vision of the future into reality.


and the goals should be:

·         Goals are important in varsity life because they help motivate you to do work, attend classes and study for the exam.
·         You can actually improve your academic performance in university by learning to set goals that motivate you to do well in the future.
·         Goals are the ends towards which we direct our effort. What we (you) want to achieve!
·         Even though you already may have set some goals before this in your life, chances are you thought little about whether those goals were realistic.

                LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM GOALS

·         Long-term goals is the objective of the goals that you set the end of the year for yourself for four or five years from now, or even for a lifetime.
·         Short-term goals we can set for an hour from now, end of day or semester.

ACADEMICS AND PERSONAL GOALS


ACADEMIC GOALS IS something that related with our works. Such as for students, we must completing the assignment and preparing for exam.

PERSONAL GOAL IS something that related with our daily life.

TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS 

Hi and Assalamualaikum everyone. For today post I would like to share what I learn today in UED class. Today I learn about time management and organizational skills by Madam Azlina Baha I feel so excited to learn this topic because I want to be more organize person later.
As a student, we must know how to manage our time effectively and be more organize person. If you want to succeed in life you must believe in yourself first. Start with self-awareness and strategize. You also must know what your aim and goal do you want to achieve in life.

Alright…time is the stubborn illusion that continued progress of existence and events in our daily life. We cannot see the time. Time also is like a component quantity of various measurements that we used to sequence events. Time is so valuable to us. We cannot buy time with money. That’s why as a student we must spend it wisely.
There are 5 ways how to manage our time and be more organized in the study.
1. Weekly schedule
2. Daily planner
3. Semester calendar
4. Academic VS Personal life
5. Avoid procrastination.
Here is the example of a weekly schedule and daily planner;.

MEMORY STRATEGIES

 


==> WHAT IS MEMORY?


Memory: – The ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences in the human brain.
 – It can be thought of in general terms as the use of past experience to affect or influence current behavior.

==> UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESSES

The students require an effective study plan, active study strategies, and good memory in order to do well on exams. ‘Having a good memory’ involves both putting information into memory and getting it back out, or in simple words; both storage and retrieval. Many students don’t really understand how memory works. It will be very helpful for you to understand why some study strategies work and others don’t if you learn about how we store and retrieve information. Over the years, psychologists have tried to develop theories on explaining how memory works. The Information Processing Model is one of the most useful theories produced.

As a result, I need to improve my memorizing skill to make sure I will remember the information in the exam or before the exam for a long period of time.


  • The Information Processing The model suggests that memory is complex and consists of various processes and stages.
  • For example, there are at least three types of memory, such as:
i. Sensory Memory
– Also known as sensory registers
 – The capacity for stores incoming information from five traditional senses are just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory.
 – We need to pay full attention to these senses in order to avoid it from being forgotten.
ii. Short-Term Memory (STM)
– The limited storage for holding but not manipulating, a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time.                                                                                                                               – Divided into two components:
1) Immediate memory
2)Working memory
iii. Long-Term Memory (LTM)
– A system for permanently storing, managing and retrieving information later use.
– Items of information stored as long-term memory may be available for a lifetime. – Long-term memory has an almost unlimited capacity.
There are three important memory processes, that are :
i. Encoding – Interpreting information in a meaningful way
ii. Storage – Working on (for example, repeating and organizing) information so that it can be placed into long-term memory
iii. Retrieval – Getting information out of long-term memory

==> MEMORY STRATEGIES
                                   



1. GENERAL MEMORY STRATEGIES
  • Spaced practice
  • Break tasks down
  • Repetition
  • Over learning

2. SPECIFIC MEMORY STRATEGIES
  • Rehearsal strategies
  • Low-level rehearsal strategies.
  • High-level rehearsal strategies.
  • Elaboration strategies
  • Association
  • Acronyms or Catchword
  • Acrostics or Catchphrases
  • Imagery

3. ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES
  • Organizational strategies allow you to organize the information to make it easier to learn and recall.
  • Examples: Listing, ordering, grouping, outlining, mapping, charting and diagramming.
  • One of the advantages of organizational strategies are that by structuring the material, you provide yourself with a new way to remember many of the details.


4. COMPREHENSION MONITORING STRATEGIES
5. AFFECTIVE AND MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES

==> HOW TO RETAIN YOUR MEMORY

1. Create a Mind Map






  • A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information.
  • It is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole.
  • The students can insert the mind map into the file devoted to the subject.

2. Do the Past Year Questions


  • The students are able to identify the format of the examination paper that they are going to sit.
  • Besides, there must be some questions that are almost identical to the questions for the other year.

3. Teach and Share the Knowledge

  • When we are teaching or sharing our knowledge with others, it will strengthen our memory as we are repeating the subject that we learn.

CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES

WHAT IS CONCENTRATION?

Concentration is focusing your attention on what you are doing.

CAUSE OF POOR CONCENTRATION:

·    Lack of attention

·    Lack of interest

·    Lack of motivation

·    Distraction from others

·    Uncomfortable environment

WAYS TO IMPROVE CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES:



As a result, above I need to improve myself to more concentrate on making any work especially in studying time and in a lesson class.



CONCENTRATION CHART

EXAMPLE 






READING TEXT


Reading a textbook can often feel like a daunting task. The language can be dry and there can be many unknown words and phrases. You may feel overwhelmed by the very number of pages that you have been assigned to read. However, there are ways that you can become more comfortable with your textbook and more confident in reading it.



Before you begin reading, take a few minutes and look over your textbook, paying attention to the cover, table of contents, and index. Try to get a sense of the book’s main topics and how it is organized. When tackling assigned reading, break up your reading into 10-page chunks and plan to read for no more than 1 hour at a time. As you read, take notes on the main ideas. Go back and highlight important phrases after deciding which keywords or phrases are important. For more on developing strong studying habits from our reviewer, keep scrolling!
1. Look at the cover. Are there pictures or art that can give you a clue on the topics you may be studying? What about the title? Is this a book for beginners or for someone with more skill?
·         Use the title for a more specific idea on the course. If it’s a history book, will you be studying World History or Early American History? What do you already know about this subject?
·         What about the authors, publisher and publishing date? Is this an old book or is it pretty current?
2. Take notes. In a notebook for the class, jot down the main ideas of what you read for each section, IN YOUR OWN WORDS. It is extremely important to write your notes in your own words.
·         Writing your notes in your own words helps you avoid plagiarism if you have to write a paper, and you will be confident that you really comprehended something if
your notes are not directly copied from the textbook.
3. Divide your assignment into 10 pages of chunks. After each chunk, go back and look at your highlights, your margin notes, and your notebook notes. This will help you with long term memory of what was read.
·         Complete the next steps in this section using the 10 pages chunk recommendation. When you’ve finished 10 pages and briefly reviewed them, begin the next 10 pages. Or, take a quick break and then resume working on the next 10 pages.
4. Read your notes multiple times. If you read carefully, highlighted and took notes, you should only need to read the textbook once. What you will re-read during studying is your highlighted phrases, your margin questions and/or notes, and your notebook notes.
·         Read these as many times as necessary to fully understand the material. If you didn’t take great notes, you may need to re-read.


                   Note-Taking Strategies




WHY TAKING NOTES?

·                     Helps us to pay attention in class
·                     Helps us study for quiz, tests or final exam
·                     Helps us improve our memory
·                     Helps us take ownership of ideas
·                     Helps us engage our senses 
·                     Helps us organize and process data and information
·                     Helps the lecturer test students on how well the captured given information

“Immediately after classes review your notes, add or clarify information while the lectures are still fresh. Review notes on a daily basis.”
– tips on note-taking.
WHY WE NEED TO REVIEW?
·         We will lose 80% of what we hear early if we not reviewed within a few hours.
·         We can identify any questions for peers, the next class or ask the lecture.
·         There is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if not reviewed on a regular basis.

MATERIAL THAT NEEDED


·         Loose-leaf paper
·         Binder (file)
·         Folder with pockets
 Pens, pencils, eraser, etc



TAKING LECTURE NOTES





<How to Take Lecture Notes??>


1. PREPARE BEFORE TAKING NOTES



The best way to prepare your note-taking activity is to READ the text assignment before class.

By reading the text assignment before the lecture, it will allow you to

– have some idea what the lecture is about.
– identify the main ideas of the lecture and organize your notes easier.



           2. BECOME A GOOD LISTENER


Strategies for improving listening skills are :

Read the text assignment before the lecture

Sit at the nearest to lecture

Decide what you want to listen

Focus your attention 

Control your emotions

Ask and answer questions



 Note-Taking Exercise using the Cornell Method

==> WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR NOTES

1. HEADINGS
Always note all headings – the main point – that are made during a lecture.
2. DETAILS


  • Listen to ALL the details.
  • Some of the details that you may want to focus on are :
– Any facts or explanations that expand or explain the main points that are mentioned. 
3.DISCUSSION CLASSES
  • Some lecturers prefer the discussion format when teaching.
  • You can easily take notes on a discussion.
  • Instead of writing down the main heading, write down the question that is posed.
  • Then, jot down the various points that are made during the discussion.

==> REVIEWING NOTES
1. RECITE FROM THE HEADINGS


2. RECITE FROM THE RECALL QUESTIONS
3. TALK ABOUT THE INFORMATION WITH OTHERS
