What's Your Best Study Hack? Let's Share and Learn!

@MehranKhan Fourteen years ago, when I started my duties as a Primary School Teacher, the first day was a bit challenging. I wondered how I could begin working smoothly and confidently in the classroom. With all the little eyes watching me, I decided to start with reading books, giving dictations, and ensuring that students made fair copies.

Fourteen years ago, when I started my duties as a Primary School Teacher, the first day was a bit challenging. I wondered how I could begin working smoothly and confidently in the classroom. With all the little eyes watching me, I decided to start with reading books, giving dictations, and ensuring that students made fair copies.

I can certainly understand the apprehension and uncertainty you must have felt on your first day as a primary school teacher 14 years ago. Starting a new role, especially one with so much responsibility for young students, can be quite daunting. However, it sounds like you had a solid plan to help ease into your duties and establish a productive classroom environment.

@MehranKhan Amazing topic, I like to share my learning hack. I'm quick learner but some subjects always give me hard time so I use to record my teachers lectures .after that, I replay recordings again and again. One more hack that really helps me before exams . I use to make short bullet notes to recall all important thing related to the topic.

@MehranKhan The best study hack is to use active learning techniques, like summarizing information in your own words and teaching it to someone else. Break study sessions into short, focused intervals with regular breaks to maintain concentration. Create a dedicated, distraction-free study space. Use visual aids like charts and diagrams to reinforce memory. Regularly review and practice previous material to ensure long-term retention.

@Samar-Mohamed Aslam o Alaikum dear,

Yes the first day of duty is very difficult specially in the field of teaching. Because you have no clue or no experience that how to deal with the things you are unknown. My brother Farhan have more insights like this. He is creative in his own field of ICT as well.

Thanks for your appreciation dear

@MehranKhan Nice topic you chhosed, by this we got more tricks and hacks,
Ok, if I talk about me so I do the same, I break the time according to the topic then manage in which time what I have to teach and also mind mapping by this we got how much students got understand, and also give some break to relax mind and critical thinking.

@MehranKhan Hello, The 'study hack' that I ever use is mnemonics during my study sessions.
Creating acronyms or memorable phrases helps me recall complex information more easily. It's a fun way to make studying a bit more engaging!Looking forward to hearing your study hacks too!
Best,

@FarhanMehboob Yes. The 1st day was a bit challenging for me too

@Sehar-Kazi Nice hack. That shows how hard worker you are. Best of luck

@RASHEED-ULLAH That nice Sir. Reflex action is must for our success. Thank you

@shamsa-kanwal great. Your students are lucky to have a caring teacher.

@MehranKhan Thank you for your appreciation.

@MehranKhan sir interesting topic. Well always use story techniques to teach any topic . My students feel very interactive while they are taught in a way that they are the characters and main topic revolves around it . It's interesting believe me . It works

@Tabassumlaghari thats great. I've learned a lot using this hack.

@Mariam Thats a great hack. I also have used it sometimes. Even sometimes in story lessons I used to make characters and performed the story from my students. Its really interactive

@MehranKhan very useful technique

Thanks for sharing. I find your way of dividing your lesson into chunks amazing. For me, I do break my lesson according to the type of the lesson if it's based on reading, listening, or writing I give equal time leaving time for fun activities, ice-breakers, or SEL time.

@MehranKhan thank you so much sir

@MehranKhan
The best study hacks I've discovered are:

1. Active Recall: Instead of passively reading notes I quiz myself on the matetial. This reinforces my memory.
   2.Spaced Repetition: I review information at increasing intervals e.g after 1 day or 3 day or 1 week. This helps me transfer knowledge to long term memory.
2. Teach what you learn: I explain the concept to someone, particularly students or even myself. This reinforces my understanding.
3. Summarize notes: After studying I summarize the key points in my own words. This helps consolidate my understanding.
   These are some of my best study hacks that I usually use.

Hey there!

Great idea to share study hacks @MehranKhan I totally agree with you on the Pomodoro Technique, it's such a game-changer for staying focused. One thing that’s really helped me is creating a dedicated study space. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but having a spot that’s just for studying helps me get into the right mindset. I also like to use a whiteboard to jot down key concepts or problems I need to solve. There’s something about writing things out that makes the information stick better for me.

Also, using an app like Forest has been a huge motivation booster. It helps me stay off my phone because if I don’t, my virtual tree dies, and who wants that?

Here are some techniques and tools for time management that I found very nice to know.
