Avoid cheating when working on test questions or exams. Cheating can make our character cheat and a liar. Lies, however, cannot be covered up constantly and tend to do the next lie to cover up the next lie. Suppose that by cheating the teacher will be discovered and have a future as a criminal if we cheat.
You need to learn with seriousness and diligence. When studying in class, listen and note what the teacher explained. Note what is important because it might not be in the book and later, it will come out during the test or exam. When free time, re-read the notes that were made earlier and memorize them while being understood.
If we feel good about a lesson, then test yourself with questions. After the question is done, check the answer with the answer key. Review the wrong questions answered again.
Playing with friends or games can damage the concentration of learning. Playing activities should also be scheduled with quite a long time but not tiring if done before the time of the study. If you play video games you should choose a game that is educational and does not cause high curiosity or a high sense of resentment if you lose.
As a student, you need to make good planning for your career. To achieve a goal is usually accompanied by a good plan. Therefore, it is a good idea to make a learning plan for achieving values to find out whether the learning activities that we have done are maximal or need to be improved. Adjust the target of achievement with the abilities we have. Don’t target to be a number one if we are still outside the top 10 in the class. Just be realistic. Create a learning plan that is prioritized on weak subjects. Make a good study schedule.
Group learning can be a learning activity to be more fun because it is accompanied by friends and at home so that it can be more relaxed. But you should still be accompanied by an adult such as a brother, uncle, aunt or parent so that learning does not turn into a play.
If habits and learning routines are a form of hereditary behavior, it’s OK that it could be due to the influence of genes. But keep in mind that gene manifestations (or descendants) are also strongly influenced by the environment. Students who have a conducive environment in learning, the longer it will be more affected by the habits of other colleagues. This is an example of positive environmental influences. It should also be noted that the style and learning habits of a student are very individual. This means that the way a student learns is not the same as the way of other students.
Each person has a unique way of learning, including the ways and learning strategies. The more we understand our uniqueness, strengths, and weaknesses, the more we can learn effectively.
When it comes to learning, you can use previous learning material to learn new things. This is called relational learning, where we will involve new information on things we already know.
When you try to learn, you need to learn and apply new things. One way to become an effective learner is to continue learning. By repeating learning new things and practicing them, we are building a network path in the brain that will strengthen our connection with the new information.
