Learning with all the senses
The more senses are activated during learning (hearing, seeing, touching, movement), the better the learning material is memorised. Studies confirm that so-called multi-sensory learning stimulates the brain and new information is better memorised. Listening to vocabulary on your mobile phone while walking through the park or creating and discussing mind maps with friends leads to successful learning.
Structured learning with a weekly plan
Structure is particularly important for the final learning spurt. Regular and daily learning helps to memorise school material permanently. Making learning a fixed part of your daily routine works with a weekly schedule, in which you enter fixed study times as well as exam dates and all leisure activities. A little extra time each week as a “learning buffer” is a must.
Small learning units boost motivation
The faster content is repeated, the more motivated you are in class. If you study a little every day, you will quickly catch up on the learning material and be better able to keep up with new topics.
Oral participation
The grade in the last class test is worse than expected, even though you actually knew the content. Oral participation can help to save the grade until the next report. Active participation in class or a presentation can compensate for written weaknesses. Another advantage: through their participation, students memorise a lot of content that they can reproduce much better in the next class test.
Learning breaks
Studies show that what has been learnt is processed much better when learning phases and breaks alternate. Just 30 minutes in the fresh air and a bit of exercise are ideal to relax in between and then return to the desk more rested and motivated.
