...Students’ Learning With Effective Learning Techniques: Promising Directions From Cognitive and Educational Psychology Many students are being left behind by an educational system that some people believe is in crisis. Improving educational outcomes will require efforts on many fronts, but a central premise of this monograph is that one part of a solution involves helping students to better regulate their learning through the use of effective learning techniques. Fortunately, cognitive and educational psychologists have been developing and evaluating easy-to-use learning techniques that could help students achieve their learning goals. In this monograph, we discuss 10 learning techniques in detail and offer recommendations about their relative utility. We selected techniques that were expected to be relatively easy to use and hence could be adopted by many students. Also, some techniques (e.g., highlighting and rereading) were selected because students report relying heavily on them, which makes it especially important to examine how well they work. The techniques include elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, summarization, highlighting (or underlining), the keyword mnemonic, imagery use for text learning, rereading, practice testing, distributed practice, and interleaved practice. To offer recommendations about the relative utility of these techniques, we evaluated whether their benefits generalize across four categories of variables: learning conditions...

...many different techniques and studying skills a student may possess or learn to adapt to. As a visual spatial learner, I have noticed that when I map my notes for papers this technique is easier for me. Letting my thought process flow and combining all my thoughts together later. Should I have to study for a test or quiz, I would use flash cards using the outline method. The listening skill is most important technique to me as a student, a leader of Soldiers. With these three roles I am always trying to improve my listening skills. As I read the article the Importance of Listening the author suggested writing down notes to recall information given to you earlier. As a Leader of Soldiers also supervising my own shop there is always new information and Soldiers having issues. There are times where I will be in a zone with so many things going on at once and decisions being made very quickly. When being spoken to I will zone out and listen for key words and ask questions in between to react accordingly. If I do not hear anything of importance then I will ask the person to repeat themselves and then listen to what they have to say and go from there. When it comes to Soldiers listening is critical you have to listen to Soldiers issues and problems. I have learned to be an active listener by asking certain questions in between conversation to get the full scope of the issue so I can better understand and assist them. Hence techniques and skills for learning can be very...

...In my opinion, learning foreign languages is extremely difficult because there are many countries which have their own languages and also have different in their social culture. People who try to learn foreign languages suppose to practice as much as they can by using some techniques for supporting what the best they can do. They need to concentrate in all skill of communications which are reading, writing, listening and speaking. However the techniques from my suggestion are very simply for everyone. Firstly, the learners should try to stop thinking in own language. People who want to be rapidly improve should be awareness because when they are not realize in their own language, the only way they could do is imagine in foreign language that they need to practice. Therefore, they will automatically speak in foreign language. This is very simple technique even though it is slightly difficult when the lesson has been started in first month. Secondly, travelling around the country which uses the language they want to learn. This technique is very useful for practicing in speaking and listening skills. People around the country could help learners to improve. However, the crucial point that must be concerned for this technique is the travelling should have by themselves (or only with their foreign friend) otherwise they could not receive an advantage from this practice lesson due to their friends who try to interrupt them by their own language. Finally, reading many books...

...Bonjour tout le monde. Je m’appelle Aprameya et aujourd’hui, je veux vous parler au sujet de l’éducation axée sur la carrière. Particulièrement, je parlerai sur mes objectifs professionnels de devenir pilote, et mon expérience en école de pilotage. Cette présentation correspond avec notre labo 5, à propos de l’éducation et les médias. Depuis j’étais petit, j’avais un rêve, de devenir pilote, quand je grandisse. Alors, chaque fois ma famille voyageait, toujours j’étais tellement passionné ; j’avais hâte de voir des avions, de les entrer ; de me sentir quand on décolle à l’air. En occasion, je parlais avec les pilotes, et je les ai dit que j’aime volant, et que je veux devenir pilote aussi. Alors que je grandissais, j’étais plus en plus sur que je dois apprendre le pilotage. Quand j’avais 12 ans, j’ai commencé mon éducation axée sur la carrière. J’ai joint une école de pilotage, et chaque semaine, j’étudiais les cours de l’aviation. Pour moi, c’était la réalisation d’un rêve. Je me souviens toujours ce que je me suis senti après mon premier décollage, le moment où les roues ont quitté le sol, et ensuite, ma première solo, quand j’étais tout seul au ciel, c’est vraiment incroyable. Sans aucun doute, ça classe au premier rang dans ma liste des expériences. Je pense que ces cours supplémentaires, où quelqu’un peut apprendre des sujets qui correspondent avec leurs buts personnels et professionnels, sont très importants dans un compétitif marché du travail. Il y a trois raisonnes...

...Qui saurait de nos jours se passer du fameux téléphone? Nous devons cette merveilleuse invention à Alexandre Graham Bell. Durant cette présentation, nous allons vous parler de ce personnage qui a changé l’histoire de la communication. Alexandre Graham Bell est né le 3 mars 1847 à Édimbourg en Écosse. Il devient citoyen Canadien en 1882. Il avait deux frères : Melvin James Bell et Edward Charles Bell. Tous deux morts de la tuberculose. À sa naissance, Bell n’avait pas encore de deuxième prénom. Ce n’est qu’à l’âge de 11 ans qu’il fit la demande pour avoir Graham inclus dans son nom. C’était son cadeau d’anniversaire. Ses parents s’appelaient Alexander Melvin Bell et Eliza Grace. Son père était un professeur de diction. Durant son enfance, Alexandre collectionnait des espèces botaniques et réalisait déjà ses premières expériences. Encouragé par sa mère, Bell s’intéresse aussi à l’art, la poésie et la musique. Quand Bell avait douze ans, sa mère commença à perdre graduellement l’audition. C’est pour cette raison qu’il a appris le langage des signes pour pouvoir communiquer avec elle. La surdité de sa mère amène Alexandre à étudier l’acoustique. À l’école, la science et la biologie étaient ses intérêts principaux. Ses notes, cependant étaient piètres, car il manquait souvent les cours. Il déménage à Londres pour vivre avec son grand-père après avoir quitté l’école. C’est dans cette période de sa vie qu’il prit goût à l’enseignement. À 16 ans, à Weston House...

...« De nombreuses études sur l’impact de la musique sur le développement ont été menées, mais plutôt auprès d’enfants plus âgés», explique Laurel Trainor, directeur de l’Institut McMaster pour la musique et l’esprit. « Nos résultats suggèrent que le cerveau du nourrisson pourrait être particulièrement réceptif à « l’exposition musicale » ». L. Trainor, en collaboration avec David Gerry, professeur de musique, a d’ailleurs reçu un prix de la Fondation Grammy en 2008 pour son travail sur les effets de la musique dans la petite enfance. Dans cette nouvelle étude, des bébés et leurs parents ont suivi durant 6 mois un des deux cours de musique hebdomadaires proposés : La première classe de musique formait à la musique interactive et à l’apprentissage d’une petite série de berceuses accompagnées d’actions. Les parents et les enfants ont appris à jouer ensemble des percussions et à chanter. La seconde classe de musique proposait différents jeux et jouets, mais avec un fond musical en arrière-plan. Au départ de l’étude, tous les bébés présentaient une capacité de communication et un niveau de développement social similaires, aucun n’avait déjà participé à des classes de musique pour bébés. Une sensibilité évidente à la musicalité : «Les bébés qui ont participé aux cours de musique interactifs avec leurs parents montrent de manière plus précoce une sensibilité à la musique, au son juste, alors que les nourrissons qui ont participé à des classes d’écoute passive ne montrent pas les mêmes...

...We are choosing how a human will look like and how his body will react to certain things before this person is even born, just like GMO’s in our food, an alteration of an organism so that it is better or even “perfect”. The ethical issues brought by this technique from the genetics labs are likely to be very complicated. What if parents can use pre-implantation genetic diagnosis to avoid having kids with attention-deficit disorder or those predestined to be short or predisposed to homosexuality? Will they feel pressure from friends and relations to do so? And will kids who are allowed to be born with these characteristics be made to feel even more like second-class citizens than they do now? This technique is beginning to be more popular by the hour, and it is important that it is controlled in the correct way. This new development is incredibly powerful to the human race because it is capable of altering every little defect a human has or may have in the future. People ask themselves if this is something good, but most of them hesitate when they try to look for an explanation of how they feel about this, on one side we can prevent deathly diseases like HIV and Cancer, but on the other side, the abuse of this technique, when altering how the person will look like physically, or how intelligent he/she will be, is greatly possible. The kinds of...

...iTout a commencé le samedi 13 octobre quand j'ai décidé de créer mon profil sur le site molamour.mu. C'était juste une idée qui m'a traversé l'esprit comme ça. Dès que j'ai créé mon compte, certaines personnes commencent à chatter. Je n'étais pas intéressé à ce point a leur répondre. Mon but était de trouver un mec tamil sur ce site qui a été difficile à trouver. Puis quelques heures plus tard, j'ai vu ton nom en ligne qui a immédiatement attiré mon attention: Menvin. Je suis allée sur ton profil et la première chose qui m'a frappé, c'est quand j'ai regardé ta photo. J’ai trouvé un beau mec, avec un regard charmant qui m'a aussitôt séduit. Tu est exactement le genre de gars que j'aime. Puis je suis retourné à ton profil pour voir ce que tu cherchais sur ce site et j'ai vu que tu étais à la recherche d'une fille de 22 à 30 ans. Alors je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas tenter ma chance. Peut-etre que je pourrai te plaire. La conversation s'est très bien passé. En bavardant avec toi, je me suis senti très intéressé à en savoir plus sur toi. Puis je t’ai ajouté à ma liste d'amis sur facebook, afin que tu puisse voir ma photo. Quelques secondes plus tard, nous étions sur skype, faisant appel vidéo pour se parler et se voir. Lorsque nous nous regardons a travers la webcam, c'ést comme si il y a de petites étincelles entre nous. J’ai été très contente de te voir. Dès le premier regard, j’ai été charmée par ton incroiyable beau sourire. Tu me fais rougir avec tout ses belles compliments...

...production units. An effective supervisor ought to be a trained observer and possess record keeping skills. Also, they should know how the job is done and the time required to accomplish. Observation is simple to use and acquires first-hand information. However, the method can cause bias to some workers and is also time-consuming. Questionnaires method can also be used in the job analysis process. The technique is further categorized in two i.e. open-ended questionnaires or well-structured questionnaires. The former can be utilized by both the supervisors and incumbents while open inquiry requires only the workers to describe the job how they understand it. The technique can reach more workers, but the responses could be incomplete making it difficult to interpret. Interviewing applied in the job analysis process. In this method, the employees and other incumbents are interviewed individually after which the results are aggregated (Algera & Greuter, 2013). Other times a group interview is performed by selecting several incumbents who undergo interview at the same time. The technique works well with for occupations with long cycles. Use of a checklist has been frequently applied to job analysis. A list is filled by either the supervisor or an incumbent. The method is preferred as it is economical and very simple to administer. Technical conference method is preferable in the organization dealing with processing. It involves the collaboration of...

...same subdued, muted colors” (Sasika line 10 &12). From the diction used, subdued and muted gives us insight on the character of the mother, a synonym of this is quite giving the reader the impression that the mother is also quite. Later on in the prose it goes on to say, “All in browns and neutral shades, the color she preferred”(Sasika), this line shows that the mother preferred colors, which reflected the mother’s sense of emotion through the use of the color of the string. The symbolism throughout the prose is portrayed by the different colors the mother uses to loom with which connects to her state of mind/emotion. She uses a technique to disguise her true emotions by hiding them in a plain boring piece of work, “Startling the eye when it was turned over” (Sasika line 18), this could symbolize the fact that the mother would use this technique to show people two different emotions, one which is plain on one side an other which is more happy and bouncy if people paid closer attention to the minute details....
