Learning to Study is Invaluable for Students, According to Brearn Wright

Brearn Wright, education professional, explains that students need to learn how to study, not just what to study, to excel in their academic efforts.

2013-05-07
PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) Brearn Wright is an education professional who has experience as a principal. As such, he has led thousands of students to the next phase of their educational journey by providing an academic environment that has enabled them to thrive. Through his experience, he has learned that there are some capabilities that students need to develop before they can excel in their educational endeavors. One of these things is to study. Wright contends that reading over notes is simply not enough and that, ultimately, an effective study strategy will assist students in achieving their academic goals. Here, Wright shares study tips offered in a recent article published by The Huffington Post to encourage students to learn how to study and, as a result, retain the information they learn over the course of their classes.

According to the article, students should hand write their notes instead of typing them. This allows them to incorporate motor memory into their study efforts, which allows them to more easily recall the information they have learned when they sit down to take a test or write a paper. Additionally, the article asserts that changing locations when studying can help students maintain their mental focus. Moving from the kitchen to the living room, or even going to the library or local coffee shop, can help students to better focus on their study efforts.

The article recommends that students attempt to meditate in an effort to keep their minds clear and sharp. According to a study by the University of California at Santa Barbara, mindful meditation can improve the ability of students to perform well on tests. But focusing all of one's mental activity on studying for an extended period of time can actually detract from study efforts, as the mind can become tired. The article suggests that students take 10-minute breaks to give their minds a rest. Going for a quick walk, or at least getting away from study materials, is important in creating an effective break.

"Studying is an activity that students have to be able to complete successfully in order to excel in today's educational landscape," Brearn Wright comments. "I have found, though, that many students are unsure how to best approach this activity. With these tips in mind, students can create a study strategy that works for their learning style."

Brearn Wright encourages students who are having difficulty in school to evaluate their study habits and make the changes necessary to improve their retention of key information.

2013-05-07
Many police officers spend a significant amount of their time patrolling for drunk drivers.
