Learn How to REALLY Study!A Student Study Skills
Workshop 
  • Presented ByCarl William Seward
  • Portsmouth Public Schools

2
Before We Begin
  • Study is a process that can be taught, learned,
    and improved upon.
  • Most students waste precious time and mental
    energy studying without method or purpose.
  • This presentation is designed to provide you
    information so that you can make the most of your
    learning experience (and study time!)

3
Overview of Presentation
  • Developing Long-Term Memory
  • What is your Learning Modality

4
Long Term Memory How do I get it?
  • Long term memory is built through repetition of
    information over time with writing.
  • It takes approximately seven meaningful
    repetitions of information for the average person
    to store information in long-term memory.
  • These include lecture, homework, note-taking,
    rereading notes, creating a self-test, and
    practicing a self-test.

5
What is your learning modality?
6
The Three Learning Modalities
  • Haptic Learners
  • Visual Learners
  • Audio Learners

7
Characteristics of a Haptic Learner
8
What kinds of study practices should a haptic
learner use to maximize study time?
9
  • Haptic learners may not study well at a desk.
    They

10
  • can pace or walk around while reciting a list or
    information from notes.

11
Should haptic learners take frequent breaks
from study?
  • A reasonable study schedule for secondary
    students is 20-30 minutes of study and 5 minutes
    of break.
  • TV watching and telephone
  • talking should NOT take
  • place during break.

12
In summary, haptic learners learn best when
  • actively engaged in the class lesson.
  • given opportunities to move.
  • experiencing the learning.
  • experimenting.
  • being provided hands-on learning opportunities.

13
Characteristics of Visual Learners
14
What kinds of study practices should a visual
learner use to maximize study time?
15
Visual learners should...
  • preview a chapter BEFORE
  • reading it.

16
write down information. TAKING NOTES in class is
a powerful way to maintain concentration.
17
  • look at the teacher while s/he is talking. It
    helps visual learners to stay focused.

18
  • try studying alone--most visual learners prefer
    to study in a quiet place.

19
  • use a bright piece of construction paper in
    their favorite color as a desk blotter.

20
  • select a seat furthest from the door and window
    and toward the front of the class if possible.

21
  • write vocabulary words in color on index cards
    and read them frequently. Definitions should be
    written on the back of the card and studied as
    well.

Glance
In the seventeenth century, an allusive
satirical jest.
22
  • use color and graphic
    symbols to highlight
    main ideas in notes.

23
  • use graph paper when solving complicated math
    problems to keep the numbers and symbols properly
    aligned.

24
In summary, visual learners learn best by
  • taking lots of notes.
  • working in a quiet place.
  • studying alone.
  • previewing work.
  • using color.
  • using flash cards.

25
Characteristics of Auditory Learners
26
What kinds of study practices should an auditory
learner use to maximize study time?
27
Auditory learners should...
  • try studying with a peer who is also an auditory
    learner.

28
  • recite information that must be learned aloud.

29
  • try taping study questions and answers. Then
    listen to them during exercise, walking to
    school, or before sleep.

30
listen to tapes at least three times before a
test and practice the long-term memory strategies
learned later in this workshop.
31
  • record vocabulary or other important information
    on index cards and have someone else quiz them.

Glance
32
read ALOUD whenever possible.
33
Auditory learners learn best
  • in study groups.
  • reciting answers aloud.
  • taping assignments.
  • reviewing flashcards aloud.
  • reading assignments aloud whenever possible.

34
  • DONT WORK LONGER--
  • WORK SMARTER.
  • HAVE A PLAN!
