denote a very important discussion. To many people, learning is a somewhat
tedious task, and if the concept is left to live in their minds, then it will
hold their potential back substantially later in life.
To most students, the slow pace of learning progress is one of the main causes
of their failure. People generally study for two reasons. First of all, they
want to be successful. A student might fight his or her own laziness and do
everything possible in order to be outstanding in this or that subject for
hearing the words of praise from parents or teachers. It is simply impossible
to underestimate the capability of achievement and recognition for fueling
efforts.
On the other hand, it is a threat factor
that may motivate, represented by failing grades and attendant home or school
consequences. A longing to avoid this sort of unpleasant consequence may drive
students to put in efforts that help them score better grades.
This week, we will examine some of the more innovative methods for avoiding
pitfalls and drudgery while learning. Motivation typically is the key to
tremendous success, but more importantly, it is about helping others motivate
themselves by illuminating the intrinsic value of education—that their work in
the classroom will pay off in a manner that counts. Understanding a purpose for
one's actions is core to sustaining enthusiasm and dedication.
It turns out that setting up a study space
is one of the most enriching methods to improve learning. For some people, it
works quite well to be in an environment where complete silence has been
maintained; for others, this needs to be an environment that's 'just right':
neither too uncomfortable nor too distracting from whatever they are doing. A
study area causing the least discomfort and as few distractions as possible
will result in a great boost in focus and productivity.
Another essential component of successful learning is the development of a
coherent study schedule. It should be transparent: all the directions are
present and well-structured in such a way as to make learning not that
stressful. It contributes to breaking big tasks down into small, achievable
goals that facilitate ongoing progress in small steps.
Focus during study will be defined by
avoiding distraction. Televisions, social media, and other technologies are all
distractors that sidetrack one's attention, hence slowing down the process of
learning. This enables students to give their full concentration to studies.
While this is so, one must not fall into the trap of racing with the
educational work. This may involve cramming for an examination or trying to
make up for missing assignments in a hurry, following which energy is burned
out and further study becomes very ineffectual. Doing homework in a steady and
deliberative manner builds enthusiasm and commitment on an ongoing basis.
Last but not least, self-rewarding acts as an excellent means of motivating
oneself. After all, who doesn't love rewards? Bringing in the concept of
pleasurable activities—favorite meals or leisurely walks, for instance—after
reaching one's set study goals reinforces good behavior and self-esteem. In
doing so, one will not only get instant gratification but will also encourage
more work and involvement.
The complacent learning challenge can only be overcome by measures that ensure
motivation is sustained, studying is done in organized ways, and environments
conducive to study are created. Application of such strategies not only allows
the individual to have more effective and interesting ways of learning but
also, through consistent effort and thoughtful planning, students can make
changes in their approach to learning and realize full potential for future
success.
