Self-learning Techniques

Self-learning Techniques

First of all students have to know self-learning techniques. It is ‘learning how to learn’. There “is no royal road to learning” is an old adage. But students should try to lay a royal road to learning. They may resort to speed learning, find out a suitable learning style, simplify materials, comprehend it, make notes and store the materials learnt in their Long Term Memory (LTM). Group discussion is the only royal road to learning and note making is the unique self-learning technique. Apart from these, there are a few self-learning formulas.

The following formulas will be very useful for learning of Science and Technology

i) SQR3MW (Survey, Question, Read, Repeat, Recite, Memorize, Write)

ii) OK4R (Overview, key ideas, Read, Recall, Reflect, Review)

iii) PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, Sum, Test)
