Study Skills Essentials: For Teachers

Pupils need to develop good independent study habits, helping them to become successful, self-regulating independent learners. However, most do not know how to study effectively because the process of learning is not intuitive, and hard work only goes so far.

 
This session will cover the essentials of good study habits that can be applied to note-taking, revision, working for tests, review and consolidation work, and exam preparation. Drawing on the contemporary cognitive psychology of how people learn, this session will debunk certain popular myths and focus on well-evidenced study strategies that can be used by pupils of all ages and attainment levels. It will position effective learning as a skill, and one that can and should be developed to help support students’ journey of increasing independence through the school years and beyond.
