Learning Strategies For Students

1. Elaboration involves explaining ideas in detail, making connections, and asking open-ended questions to check understanding. 2. Using concrete examples helps understand abstract ideas. Students should generate their own examples. 3. Dual coding combines words and visuals. Students should link visuals like images or charts to text and create their own visuals to reinforce concepts through two channels.

LEARNING STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS

1. Elaboration Explain and describe ideas with many details.


This method asks students to go beyond simple recall of information and start
making connections within the content. Students should ask themselves open-
ended questions about the material, answer in as much detail as possible, then
check the materials to make sure their understanding is correct.

2. Concrete Use specific examples to understand abstract ideas.


Examples Most teachers already use this strategy in their own teaching; it’s a natural part of
explaining a new concept. But what we don’t necessarily do is help students
extend their understanding by coming up with examples of their own.

3. Dual Coding Combine words and visuals.


When information is presented to us, it is often accompanied by some kind of
visual: An image, a chart or graph, or a graphic organizer. When students are
studying, they should make it a habit to pay attention to those visuals and link
them to the text by explaining what they mean in their own words. Then, students
can create their own visuals of the concepts they are learning. This process
reinforces the concepts in the brain through two different paths, making it easier
to retrieve later.

4. Mnemonics  The usage of rhyming, words, and acronyms can help learners memorize
the items taught.
 Letters used as acronyms may aid in remembering things faster. There’s
also acrostics that might come in handy for keeping a lot of details in
mind. An example is organization names. Another case are the letters for
tuning a guitar.
 Special words and those that rhyme can be substituted or shortened.
Through them, it would be easy to commit lengthy words and phrases to
memory. For example, one can use poetry and make original songs to
recall points sometimes.

5. Organization: This works by creating a consistent box to put the information in. That helps
students keep all the related information together, instead of it being split apart.
For example, it’s easier for you to remember a list of words if you form a sentence
with them.
6. Association  Creating strong connections between different elements is also a strategy for
meaningful learning. Strong associations are helpful because when you see either
one of the two things, you’ll remember the other one easily. Let students
associate concepts, processes or whatever the lesson is all about to that which
enables them to grasp it firmly.
7. Inquiry-Based This student-centered learning style encourages independence, autonomy and
Style hands-on learning, with students leading the way and receiving guidance from
their teachers. Match this style with an appropriate formative assessment type
that utilizes inquiry in view of attaining the target competencies.
8. Visual Learning Students retain information best by viewing pictures, movies, or images and
Strategy respond well to colors and mind maps. Have the students draw or illustrate the

lesson by way of concept maps, graphic organizers and the likes.
9. Social Learning Learning takes place when students participate in collaborative activities with
Strategy. other people such as quizzing each other or having a study group. Match this
learning strategy with any formative assessment characterized by collaboration,
interaction or dialogue.

10. Solitary Learning also takes place when students process their own feelings and thoughts.
Learning Strategy Introspection, making notes and reciting them back are useful activities when
studying by themselves. This learning strategy best matches with formative
assessments characterized by introspection and reflection.
11. Logical Logical thinking is another dimension of learning. Logical, or mathematical
Learning Strategy learners use logic and structures in order to learn effectively. This strategy is not
limited to numbers and statistics. This also applies to analysis, rationalizations and
reasoning.
12. Verbal Learning Learning also takes place when utilizing words. Whether information is spoken or
Strategy written, learners memorize information through the use of language. This strategy
matches formative assessments involving reading writing, telling stories,
recitations and others. Gardner states “the linguistic intelligence is activated when
individuals encounter the sounds of a language or when they wish to communicate
something verbally to another person” (1993).
