Study techniques are those tools that a student can use to facilitate learning in the understanding of a text.
Through the different study techniques it is possible to synthesize the information of a subject with the aim of being able to cover it in a more effective way at an intellectual level, promoting the memorization of data and reasoning.
There are different study techniques that the student can use according to their expectations and what is most effective for them (each student is unique and unrepeatable). These techniques are means to achieve an end, pedagogical tools that facilitate positive learning.
the underline
The underlining technique consists of highlighting in a striking visual color those main ideas of the text that have a special meaning. The underlining implies the differentiation of the main ideas and the secondary ideas that are in the text. This study technique should be applied after having previously carried out a leisurely reading of the topic that serves as the basis for establishing a first idea of the topic.
In a second rereading it is positive to underline the text. Underlining is really effective when the really valuable parts are selected, in this way, it is possible to review a text by reading only those parts of it that have been highlighted.
The scheme
Another study technique that is based on the information selected from the underlining is the scheme. A scheme collects in an abbreviated form in a schematic structure the main concepts of a text.
A scheme should not be longer than one page and one of the keys to this study technique is the synthesis that it offers by conceptually showing the content of a subject matter through the key terms of the subject.
making notes
Another very effective study technique in the university stage is taking notes and making notes in a notebook. From this point of view, it is very important that students study a subject from their own notes than from the notes that have been made by another classmate.
It is easier to study from the notes made by oneself that show a good use of time in class.
