Useful Tips for Students to Become a Good Learner

Learning is an important aspect of education. Effective learning enhances knowledge, and gives students the ability to know the world in a better way. For good learning, speed is not only an important factor, retention of knowledge, recall and transfer of information are also significant. So, to become a good learner, it is essential for students to remember the information they learn, recall it for later use, and utilize it appropriately whenever and wherever needed. Below are some of the useful tips that a student should put into practice in order to become an effective learner.

1.       1. Improve your memory: Memory improvement is the first important factor. In order to improve learning efficiency and to maximize the knowledge retention power, memory improvement is necessary. To improve memory, a student needs to upgrade his focus, organize and structure his study time, avoid cram sessions, elaborate and rehearse the information, use mnemonic devices to memorize, visualize the concepts and can do lot more things.

2.       2. Learn new things on continuous basis: One of the simplest ways to become an effective learner is to keep learning new things. But, simple leaning is not sufficient; a student needs to keep practicing the learned information in order to retain the knowledge gained or achieved.  

3.       3. Use multiple ways of learning: Try to focus on learning things in multiple ways. Instead of only using auditory learning, make out a way to practice the information, both verbally and visually. This might involve describing the information to other person, drawing a mind map or taking notes. By learning things in more than one way, a student can actually make his knowledge strong.

4.       4. Teach what you learned: “Sharing of information is the best way to enhance knowledge.”Another good, simple and one of the best ways to become an effective learner is to teach the lessons learned to someone else. By teaching lessons or information to some other student, one can significantly brush-up his knowledge or can improve learning.

5.       5. Use previous learning to promote the new one: Relational learning is also a good way to become an efficient learner. Relational learning involves associating new information with the one that is already known or learned.

6.       6. Acquiring practical experience: Usually, students associate learning with attending lectures, reading textbooks, or doing research either on the web or in the library. But, actual and effective learning comes by seeing the information, making a note of it, and then bringing it into practice. Gaining practical experience is necessary to learn things in a better way and for longer period of time.

7.       7. Look-up for the answers rather struggling to remember: It happens sometimes that we forget the details of the information already learned. But rather than struggling to remember the information, it is better to look-up for the right answer.

8.       8. Recognize your learning habits: Understanding of one’s own learning habit is an effective way to improve learning efficiency. 

9.       9. Avoid multitasking: It is a notion among most of the people that students, who multitask, have an advantage over others; but in actual, it is not true. In reality, multitasking makes learning less effective.

10.   10. Increased use of tests: Taking tests of the knowledge gained actually help students to become a good learner. According to a research, students, who were tested after acquiring knowledge, had better memory.
