Editor's Notes
- #7 Growth mindset as defined by the theory's originator Carol Dweck is when a student acknowledges that their abilities can be developed. Three facets of the growth mindset are hard work, good strategies, and input from others. This motivational process has been aligned with theories like grit and has also been criticized by skeptics of pulling up by the bootstraps. I'd like to dedicate some time in the spring to a full training on this which will count toward CRLA level 2 training.
- #8 Has anyone heard of SQ4R? Survey—preview the entire selection by scanning Titles, Intros, Headings, Sentence (articles), Graphics, Summary, End Material. Take Interest Here So Good Skills Emerge! Why preview? Mental outline, helps reader make predictions, first step in repetition Question—create questions from each heading, subheading Read—Read the section actively looking for the answers to your questions. If you can’t find an answer, ask a different question. Recite—Physically write the answer that you found in the section in your own words. Relate—What other information connects to this new information? Relate the new information to something you already know. Review—This is the part that will cut down on cramming for a test! Regular reviews will repeat information several times, link information together, and will take very little time if done consistently. How should you then study effectively?
- #9 The Cornell Method allows students to jot down key information from lectures and identify main ideas as well as evidence to support main ideas. This method also helps students “space out” the information in a lecture.
- #10 Mind mapping helps students see the visible relationship among content from a lecture. This is a deviation from the linear notes that we have been taught to take and can appeal to the visual learner.
