    1) The document discusses how determining an ideal study environment can influence student performance as different students learn in different ways. 2) It provides a 15 question survey for students to complete individually to understand their study preferences and develop a study profile addressing physical setting, temperature/lighting, seating, distractions, study aids, and other considerations. 3) Students are instructed to establish study conditions matching their profiles and provide feedback after two weeks on comfort, classroom performance, and any needed profile adjustments. Tailoring study plans to individual needs may positively impact university performance.

    IMPROVING STUDY SKILLS IN A UNIVERSITY SETTING

    Vera Zhuang Yaojia


    Determining your Ideal Study Environment
    One factor which influences performance is studying under circumstances which work
    for you! Sitting at a desk in a quiet corner of the library may work for some, but not all
    students. Everyone has his/her own study habits which are difficult to change. That is
    due to the fact that students learn differently. The student, sitting at the library desk may
    perform better lying on a couch with background music. The key is to determine how
    you best learn! One activity is to have each student in your class respond to the
    following questions, by circling either A, S or N for each statement. Then, place
    students in pairs and share their responses with each other.

    Use the following key when responding to statements:


    A=Always S=Sometimes N=Never

    1. I like to study in a quiet area. A S N

    2. I like to work with background noise. A S N

    3. I am distracted when others talk. A S N

    4. I like to study in a cool room. A S N

    5. I like to study in a bright room. A S N

    6. I need a lot of space to study. A S N

    7. I like to study at a desk. A S N

    8. I like to relax when I study (sofa, bed). A S N

    9. I like to study alone. A S N


    10. I take notes when I study. A S N

    11. I need to sub-vocalize when I study. A S N

    12. I need frequent breaks (every 15 minutes) when I


    study. A S N

    13. I like to snack when I study. A S N

    14. I like to study at a particular time of day A S N


    _______________________(list time)

    15. If I am interrupted when I study


    (phone, people talking), I can easily
    return to my studies. A S N

    After students have had an opportunity to discuss their responses to the above
    statements, have them develop individual study profiles, using the following chart.
    The questions which pertain to each category are listed on the profile. Have students
    use the responses to the above statements as they develop individual profiles.

    MY STUDY PROFILE

    PREFERENCES
    Physical Setting (#1, 2) a quiet environment or have quiet
    background music

    Temperature/Lighting/Time of Day (#4, a bright room with ease temperature at


    5,14) evening
    Seating (#6, 7, 8) At study room or at dorm

    Distractions (#3, 15) Mobile phones or text messages

    Study Aids (#10, 11) Prefer teachers’ or classmates’ help

    Other Considerations (#9, 12, 13) The mood about study and the motivation

    Students should try to establish study conditions which match their profiles. After two
    weeks, have students come together to share the following:

    ● Feedback on comfort level when studying under ideal conditions


    ● Classroom performance (tests, participation)
    ● Perception on profile changes

    Students may find it necessary to adjust profiles to alter any conditions which did not
    seem to work. This can be an ongoing project throughout the semester. When students
    determine their study needs, they can implement personal study plans which may
    impact upon performance throughout their university careers.
