Successful
Students
7-8
7. … Understand that actions affect learning.
Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and
emotions which turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way
that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those
feelings. Act like you’re bored and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested
and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating
in the classroom, “act” like an interested person “lean forward, place your
feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod
occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly
from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.
8. …Talk about what they’re learning. Successful
students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words.
Talking about something, with
friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something,
it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most
direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long term memory. Your
really don’t “know” material until you can put it out into words. So, next time
you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, Reading, etc. With
friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, Pretend you’re teaching
your peers. “Talk-learning” Produces a whole host of memory traces that results
in more learning.
