Make the most of your time when studying

Studying differs from one person to another so what works for one may not work for another. 【小题1】 We need to find some effective ways.

【小题2】 Having a schedule makes you see that you have certain things to do and will give you a proper time when you should be focusing only on your studying.

Take notes in class on the important things. 【小题3】 Try to study up on the material before class so that you can refresh your memory in case the teacher calls your name to ask you to answer questions.

Take frequent breaks. Of course, there are situations where you will need to study or work on homework for much longer than a few hours. In these cases, make sure that you are taking frequent breaks. Every 30minutes to an hour, get up and stretch your legs to avoid not easily bending or walking and muscle cramps. 【小题4】 A small snack that is high in protein and low in sugar is also a good way to increase your energy. Also try not to spend all your time eating.

Practice different techniques. 【小题5】 Try to test them to see if they are the most effective. Finally, studying will become easier and more of a routine than a challenge.

Benefits of Cooperative Learning

In the classroom teachers should deliberately create opportunities for students to cooperate with each other, share responsibilities, solve problems, and control conflict.

【小题1】 Cooperative learning activities require students to work together in small groups to complete a project or activity, operating as a team to help each other succeed.

You may be wondering what benefits students gain from cooperative learning. The answer is many! Cooperative learning, of course, teaches a number of social and emotional skills, but it also gives students the opportunity to learn from each other. The following skills that are developed through regular and effective cooperative learning are just a few of many.

In order for a cooperative learning group to succeed, individuals within the group need to show leadership abilities. Without this, the group cannot move forward without a teacher. Natural leaders become quickly evident in small groups, but most students don’t naturally want to lead.   【小题2】

Also, effective teamwork requires good communication and commitment. All members of a cooperative learning group have to learn to speak productively with one another to stay on track. By teaching students to share confidently, listen carefully, and speak clearly, they learn to value the input of their teammates and the quality of their work soars.

Conflicts are bound to arise in any group setting.   【小题3】 Give students space to try and work out their issues for themselves before stepping in.

There are many decisions to be made in a cooperative environment. Encourage students to think as a team to make joint decisions by first having them come up with a team name.   【小题4】 Make sure that each student has their own responsibilities in cooperative learning groups. Much like leadership skills, decision-making skills cannot be developed if students are not regularly practicing them.
