It will encourage students to be self-aware and differentiate between past, current and future learning environments in order to begin the journey to being an independent, critical and successful university student.]]> 2018-11-22 20:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307109985 dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307110795 The main aims for this module are:
  1. To introduce students to the wide variety of practical time-management and revision skills that will help them rationalise their learning strategies within the Dutch tertiary environment.
  2. To encourage reflective thinking that will allow students to critically analyse themselves and create clear, definable goals.
  3. To develop an awareness of the key conventions surrounding academic study in the Netherlands.
  4. To introduce and develop key practical Information Technology and communication skills for the tertiary environment.

‐ Creative: to have the confidence to apply imagination to your learning and
problem solving.
‐ Reflective: to be able to sit with your experience, analyze and evaluate your own performance and draw lessons from it. Try to make use of the feedback you got from tutors.
‐ Effective: to organize your time, space, priorities, state of mind, resources, and use of technology to maximum benefits. Also, relate your study to real life and make connections between what you study with the different subjects.
‐ Active: Be personally engaged physically and mentally, in making sense of what you learn, ’deeper understanding’.
‐ Motivated: be clear about outcomes you want to achieve, the steps you need to take to achieve these, and what you will do to build and maintain your engagement and enthusiasm.

In order to ensure you have the most effective approach to studying in university, we must first look at where you are now. This means evaluating your current approach to studying using the S.H.A.P.E. method. This is a way of reflecting on and categorising your previous learning so you can see whathabits you’ve slipped into. From there, we will be able to reconstruct your studying and learning to match the expectations and realities of university.

As you’ve already seen from your reading, researchers claim that there are some key study strategies that have been proven to be beneficial to all, regardless of style or preference.
We call these enhanced learning techniques:
  •   space out study sessions over time (Baddeley & Longman, 1977)
  •   experience the material in multiple modalities (Kobus et al., 1994)
  •   test yourself on the material (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006)
  •   elaborate on material to make meaningful connections rather than engaging in activities
  • that involve simple repetition of information (Craik & Lockhart, 1972)

Being critical in academiclife, however, does not mean questioning things randomly, or for the sake of ‘nit-picking’. Instead,academic work aims to get as near as possible to the truth. Critical thinking in any subject or discipline is the way in which this is done, along with the more specialised applications of theory, the methods and techniques, which have been developed for the subject. Critical thinking then, is the attempt to ask and answer questions systematically. This means asking the most useful questions in the most productive sequence in order to yield a coherent and credible ‘story’. So, thinking criticallymeans asking questions. Instead of accepting ‘at face value’ what you read or hear, critical thinkerslook for evidence and for good reasons before believing something to be true. This is at the heart of what it means to be a scientist, researcher, scholar or professional in any field.

  • Describe ... e.g. to define clearly what you are talking about, say exactly what is involved, where it takes place, or under what circumstances. Fulfilling this function helps you to introduce a topic. More complex description will become analysis.
  • Analyse ... e.g. examine and explain how parts fit into a whole; give reasons; compare and contrast different elements; show your understanding of relationships. In this way analysisforms the main part of any in-depth study.
  • Evaluate e.g. judge the success or failure of something, its implications and/ or value.Evaluations lead us to conclusions or recommendations and are usually found at the end of a piece of academic work, a paper, chapter or other text.

This might involve creating vivid mental pictures; making up stories to remember a sequence of information; or picturing facts as locations on a map.
    For example, if a medical student wanted to recall that the three types of depressants are barbiturates,alcohol and tranquilizers, they could picture a depressed batwho had taken all three.

Turn the individual chunks of information into vivid mental images, then connect the images in a story that unfolds throughout a location
    you know well. You could picture your first image by the front door of the house you grew up in; then imagine wandering into the kitchen and finding your next two images arguing in there, whilst the next three dance together
    in the living room...]]>     2018-11-22 20:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307115908     MIND MAPS dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307116752 Mind maps are a good way of organising and simplifying information, and seeing connections between
    the different aspects of a topic. They can be an effective memory trigger because, often, it is the actual act
    of drawing out a mind map that you recall in an exam.]]>     2018-11-22 20:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307116752     LAYERING dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307117132 Try the ‘layering’ technique for remembering complex information. First, learn the easiest and simplest facts or ideas about a topic. Use these to provide a foundation before adding gradually more complex information, layer upon layer. Working in this way means that, if you get anxious in your exam, you should still remember
    the foundation layer of the material. When you start making notes about that, your memory of the higher layers will flood back.

When you think you know them, put them on a pile of cards that you will later test yourself on, and put new facts in the prominent places.]]> 2018-11-22 21:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307117831 dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307118597 2018-11-22 21:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307118597 dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307118805 2018-11-22 21:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/307118805 REVISION AND MEMORY TECHNIQUES dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/308050959 Memory is a very important part of learning, and one which often worries students when revising for exams. It ispossible to improve your memory, but there is no magic wand; hard work is involved. However, developing memory techniques that suit you will be useful for life as well as university!
    It is also very important that you regularly review the knowledge that you are acquiring; this is how things move from short-term to longterm memory and become easier to recall at speed. Effective revision is an ongoing process, not a cramming session just before the exams. This strategy also helps you to acquire a knowledge base rather than simply to pass an exam and then forget the information.

It is necessary to improve our skills in every part. Human mind works with knowledge and it has to be given in an academic journey but it can be with different systems. All around the world, there are different systems which gather under two general groups; East and West education system. These two systems have different type of practicing and understanding except some same points. Differences between these two, like understandable of how students have to be teached and encouraged by their teachers or the way of learning styles which was seen on worldwide exams, also bring varied consequences about students behavior in their academic and social life.

    In both education systems, students are educated by different understandable of learning style according to their culture for reaching their goals and for being successful in every part of their academic and social life. For western education system, students show themselves with creativity and performance in their class. They are encouraged by their teachers and they are comfortable about learning because deeper understanding is the base of their education system. The success of western students in their exams depends on their talents according to teachers and sometimes this might be the sign of weakness and lower ability (Spiegel, 2012). The only way to get over this situation, students have to listen carefully their teachers and have to show that they can achieve when they want. According to eastern education system, students aren’t accustomed to give up when they fail because hard work is the base of their learning system (ibid.). The individual success in exams, which was seen on grades, is the most powerful way for eastern students to show themselves. It’s hard to improve their true skills and areas because students have to learn a lot of things in a short period of time by themselves and they don’t have much time for their interests, so discipline is everything for eastern students to be successful in their academic education and interests. Against to eastern system, the western students can improve themselves in their true skills.

     It’s important to emphasize that the results of worldwide exams are the best way to compare achievement of both education system which were under the influence of their cultures. Against to western students, eastern students are more successful in worldwide exams despite their conservative and inactive education system. It might be the effect of their culture because teaching methods are not only factor to bring high grades to students. So, the culture which was given in families, takes an important part of their success and Dr. Jerrim also says that “The attitudes and beliefs of east Asian parents in still in their children make an important contribution to their high levels of academic achievement.” (2014). Like it’s mentioned before, their achievement was seen in the results of worldwide exams like PISA (The Programme for International Student Assessment). Eastern students as Chinese always overcome the western students in these tests. In the other hand western students also want to be successful but they have to improve themselves. So as a respond of their low results in these exams, western countries chose approaching to the eastern education style. For example, in England, the department of education announced a budget to bring the eastern teachers to help them in their improvement period. (Weale S.2014).

     It is a well-known fact that to be a successful person; people should be capable of carrying responsibility and being conscious. Success always belongs to the person itself. The methods, which were discussed in second and third paragraph, are just the vehicles which lead a way to achievement. So, in whole differences between east and west education system, the most significant difference is the results of worldwide exams because in the end of students educational life, the only way to show their success to their future company will be these tests.   

    In summary, both type of education have a different base and structure on the way of success. Culture effects on worldwide exams, behavior of students about their success, understanding of how students show their achievement are the relevant differences between them. With negative and positive side of these two systems, they are so important to improve our minds and to be a person who capable to achieve everything.]]>     2018-12-05 15:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/311424446     Reflection dogaakin11 https://padlet.com/dogaakin11/6241c92gf0y5/wish/311429493 I believe that I improved my English skills.
