Improving Students’ Learning With Effective Learning Techniques: Promising Directions From Cognitive & Educational Psychology Students are responsible for regulating an increasing amount of their learning as they progress from elementary through middle school and high school to college. Lifelong learners also need to continue regulating their own learning, whether it takes place in the context of education, the workplace or recreational activities. Researchers limited choices to techniques that could be implemented by students without assistance (e.g., without requiring advanced technologies or extensive materials that would have to be prepared by a teacher). Some training may be required for students to learn how to use a technique with fidelity, but students should be able to use the techniques without supervision. Researchers chose techniques for which a sufficient amount of empirical evidence was available to support at least a preliminary assessment of potential efficacy.

Nine Common Study Techniques Practice testing – using flashcards to review material Distributed practice – spreading out your study sessions Mnemonics – memory joggers (rhymes, acronyms) Self-explanation – forcing yourself to explain instead of reading Elaborative interrogation – asking yourself “why” as you read Mental imagery – using pictures to help you remember text Re-reading Summarizing Highlighting and underlining

THE BEST: Practice testing – using flashcards to review material Distributed practice – spreading out your study sessions THE REST: Mnemonics – memory joggers (rhymes, acronyms) Self-explanation – forcing yourself to explain instead of reading Elaborative interrogation – asking yourself “why” as you read Mental imagery – using pictures to help you remember text THE WORST: Re-reading Summarizing Highlighting and underlining
5
Highlighting Interferes with Making Connections
6
Re-reading
7
Summarizing – Pro Tips Restate ideas of the source in different words and phrases Do not add your own ideas, opinions or judgment of the arguments Make it shorter than the source Ask yourself “So What?”
