The second of December (2015) I was conducting a workshop on study techniques, or in short how to study better.
The workshop’s place was Dolnośląska Szkoła Wyższa we Wrocławiu (University of Lower Silesia, in Wroclaw), a private institution of higher learning that promotes novel approaches to learning. Also institute forges research links on the national and international level. The attendants of the workshop were students of Psychology, twenty years old.
The study technique’s workshop is divided in to two parts, each one three hours. The last day, 2nd of December, we were conducting the first part, and the second will fallow in January 2016, after Christmas holiday.
My main idea with this experience was to share useful and practical knowledge about how to study better and more efficiently. But the most importantly, I wanted participants to be aware about the topic of study techniques, knowing that there are methodologies and approaches to improve their learning style.
Some of the subjects of this workshops are: the ideal situation to study (psychologically and contextually), methodologies to increase reading pace of the non-fiction books, and study techniques itself (which includes the tool called “mind maps”, developed by Tony Buzan).
The latest meeting with the Psychology students was really nice. In a few words: they were the kind of ideal students every teacher would like to have in their class. Now, after their feedback, I am even more motivated to prepare a second part with the highest quality I can offer.
Kind regards,
José Escobedo.
