Online Activity: Helping Students Improve Their Study Skills
michael_britt
We often talk to students about how they need to spend more time when they study. We want them to be active readers - to apply what they're learning to their own lives and to ask themselves questions about the material ("How does this relate to other things I've learned about?"), but sometimes they don't quite understand how important this is to do.
CLICK HERE to participate in this brief online activity which will show your students how important it is to use deeper levels of processing when they study for their tests. Feel free to share this link with your students.
NOTE: you can also get a copy of this study to use for your class! The results of this study are sent to a Google Spreadsheet in my Google account. If you'd like to use this for your class and gather your own data from students, free free to email me: michael.britt@cengage.com.
Resources:
- Improving Classroom Performance by Challenging Student Misconceptions About Learning
- Levels of Processing
Fun exercise and the debrief makes perfect sense! I scored 100 due to having a "connection" with my words..
