MAKE STUDYING A HABIT

Being successful in school requires a high level of study skills that must be first learned,
practiced and developed in order to be successful. Once developed, the job of studying and learning
will become easier and smarter.
To help you establish good study habits that fit your personality, take time to read the topics
below:
1. Know what your dominant learning style is.
Learning style refers to how an individual is able to learn and remember information.
a. Visual learners. Many authors and researchers like Dawna Markova and Anne Powell tell
that you learn best in seeing and showing. Learners who are visual learners tend to appreciate
printed handouts and resources that reinforce educational concepts. Writing down information
will help process and remember it.
b. Auditory learners choose verbal instruction. Some learners learn best from hearing and
speaking, and are comfortable listening and talking and tend to engage easily in conversation.
c. Tactile-kinesthetic learners prefer being physically engaged in the learning process.
Markova and Powell stipulated that these learners are best engaged through experiencing and
doing. They prefer to write things down themselves and will remember best when they are
documenting their own goals and progress.
2. Create a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timebound) goals.
3. Make your study time a part of your routine. Know which time of the day you learn well.
4. Establish your study zone. Some like a quiet place while others want a little noise. Use gadgets like
laptops, cellphones and tablets wisely.
Pointers to Level Up Your Study Habits

a. Set a clear academic goal or grades for this school year.
b. Identify your effective study habit practices that were proven helpful to get your target
grades or academic goals. List it down so you could count and recall.
c. Determine your ineffective study habit practices that were proven to be bad for your
school performance. Enumerate them so you could count and remember easily.
d. Now that you are in Grade 8 and given the current set up of your studies, try to
choose from your effective study habit practices that you can still apply this school year.
e. Identify those that are effective but need to be modified due to change of learning
modality.
f. Add other study habit practices which you think are lacking, for instance, having a
regular area or space to set up your modules, notebooks and other materials, schedule a
consultation with your teachers etc.
