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

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

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.

@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

@Samar-Mohamed Thank you for understanding! It truly was a mix of excitement and nervousness on my first day. I had a lot of ideas and plans, but there was always that question in the back of my mind: "Will everything go as expected?" However, as the day progressed, I realized that being prepared and flexible made a big difference. Connecting with the students, understanding their needs, and creating a positive classroom environment helped me build confidence. Each day after that became a little easier, and over time, it became a rewarding experience.

@MehranKhan how was your first day at School? Please share your ideas.

@HINA-02b7d08708 Thanks Ma'am

@Adel-8d693e36c4 Thats great. I like your techinque Sir. Thanks for sharing

@BRYANb8875625e5 amazing. I'll try that too. Thanks for sharing

@FarhanMehboob Sir My 1st day was great and nervous also. I was trying to make the 1st day more interactive to make my bond with students. Though 1st day was 1st and it was also 1st experience. Kids taught me alot Sir

@MehranKhan Mehran, I hope that the path you have chosen leads you to success, and that you excel in this field.

@MehranKhan Giving attention to students'well being urges me to start my lessons with one or more activities that elevate students' SEL. One activity is Gratitude Jar in which students put a name of a person they think they should be thankful and grateful throughout the week.It can be an excellent starter or an Ice Breaker for your lessons.

Hi Sehar
A great study hack for life sciences in secondary school is to use active recall with concept mapping. Start by creating concept maps that visually organize and connect different topics, helping you see the relationships between them. Then, use active recall by quizzing yourself on the material without notes, and review it at spaced intervals to solidify your memory. Integrate real-life examples to make the concepts more relatable, and reinforce your understanding by teaching the material to someone else. Additionally, use mnemonics to remember complex information more easily. This approach combines visualization, self-testing, application, and teaching for effective learning.
