Ways to revise subjects effectively

Collins English Dictionary defines revision as ‘to read things again.’ Revision implies that a student has read thoroughly and understood the syllabus completely.

Good Study Habits For Revise Subject Effectively

To revise is an important process in studying, however, not every student feels the necessity to revise their concepts before the examination. This is wrong. This practice doesn’t just allow students to improve their grades but helps them to gain knowledge in a better way.

Revision, as the scholars say, is a fresh perspective to look into things—which also test a student’s analytical skills and strengthen his/her argument. The overall process, thus, improves students in every manner possible.

Why is revising so important?

Several students mistake covering the syllabus once and going straight to the exam after it. This increases their chances of committing mistakes in the exam papers and scoring poorly. When we revise a subject, we take the opportunity to step back and re-envision it from a fresh perspective. This provides students a chance to actually test their memory skills and correct any possible misconception they must have about any theories or subject.

How can I revise my syllabus?

You might have heard that a clean desk is a gateway to success. Before you start your revision, take a deep breath, and keep your resources near to you that will eliminate your chance to get distracted once you start revising subjects. Draft a plan, including all the syllabus that you’ve finished studying in the classroom as well as at home. Just make sure to include activities that are realizable. Another important aspect is to keep the plan flexible so that in case the revision takes more than expected time it won’t cause you any distress.

Make Notes

Who doesn’t know about this practice? We all have been taught to make personal notes when something is being taught at the school or college or coaching center. Making notes is important because it is easier to recollect something when you write it in your own language. The notes can be longer or shorter, depending on your convenience.

According to the founder of Treehouse, Rajesh Bhatia, “Students should be encouraged to take notes at schools and primary level to indulge them into a healthy practice. This helps them in later life to remember things in the right way.”

In conclusion, it is far better to remember the concepts than simply mugging it for the final examination. Mugging might help you score more in the examination but it won’t help you in the practical life. It solely depends on the student what he practices—whatever you choose just do it wisely. A short term success or a longer benefit.

Effective Teaching Strategies #101

Every child is unique and comes with unique learning capabilities. The difference in abilities and personalities pose a great challenge for teachers to teach budding learners with different learning and adapting skills. Being a good teacher, therefore, requires the right balance of creativity and innovation to meet individual child’s needs.

Experience in the field has no relevance in identifying the teaching strategies that can effectively work for every individual child. This is where effective teaching techniques come into the picture, where teachers can encourage students to learn in the best way they can learn new things and concepts.

1. Visual Learning

Encourage the experiential learning and bring redundant academic concepts to real life. Avoid playing with theories, practical classes encourage students to participate more in the classes. Practical lessons also allow learners to understand how theories apply in the real world. Teachers can use interactive whiteboards to make the classes more exciting.

2. Cooperative Learning

Students learn faster when they enjoy the activities they are into. Teachers should engage students in cooperative activities that allow a learner to participate in a group. This motivates them to come to the front and express themselves, giving a boost to their confidence. Group activities also encourage a learner to listen to others thus helping them be an active listener.

3. Conversation starters

When does a conversation start? When someone has a question and the other one has the answer. Teachers should pose thought-provoking queries to the learners, aiding them to be an independent thinker. Allowing students to think increases their perspectives about a problem or situation and gain a deeper understanding of the topic in discussion. This technique is important to gain significant life skills that can help a student to learn outside the periphery of academics learning. 

4. Technology-ridden classrooms

Technology is seeping across all domains, and the education sector is no different. Technology has brought amazing features in the traditional classrooms, for instance, interactive whiteboards or mobile screens are used to display live images and videos. This saves time that was required to manually create presentations and records. The internet enables campuses to help students to connect to a broader world and take inspiration from like-minded students.

5. Behavior Management

One rotten tomato can ruin the complete basket—the same is true for a classroom. Behavior management is a crucial process so as to earn respect and trust from students. This ensures all the students have equal chances for reaching their complete potential. Noisy classrooms can not lead to a learning environment. Teachers should layout ground rules and discipline to maintain during classroom sessions.
