WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING INSTEAD?

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Effective Revision Techniques

  • We can help them turn what they are reading

into what they are seeing….

  • MIND MAPS
  • DUAL CODING – combining the written word with

the visual

slide-33
SLIDE 33
slide-34
SLIDE 34
  • No. 2 – Effective

Revision Technique Self Quizzing

Probably the BEST way to revise and embed learning into long term memory.

slide-35
SLIDE 35

What is it?

  • It is a process of making learning more easily

retrievable in the longer term.

  • It is more active than things such as re reading

notes or highlighting, which we know aren’t going to help much.

  • You have to practice retrieving learning from

your memory to make it more likely that you will remember that information in the long term.

slide-36
SLIDE 36

STEP 1 - NOTES

  • MAKE DETAILED NOTES ON WHAT IT IS YOU NEED TO

REVISE. Re-read the notes once completed checking that you understand what you have written fully.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

STEP 2 – REVISE IN STEPS

  • E.g. from your detailed notes, aim to learn four things at a time – rather than all

at once.

X

slide-38
SLIDE 38

STEP 2 – HIDE THE NOTES

  • Put the notes away
  • Use blank paper or flashcards
  • You write down what you can remember from

these notes

slide-39
SLIDE 39

STEP 3 – CHECK

  • Now compare your answers with the original

detailed notes. Use a different coloured pen to mark/add in what you have forgotten

slide-40
SLIDE 40

Suggestion No. 3 – The Pomodoro Technique

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Pomodoro technique

  • A well used strategy for productivity
  • Fights procrastination
  • Also widely used in schools/universities as a

strategy for effective study time

slide-42
SLIDE 42

How do I do it?

slide-43
SLIDE 43

How can I apply this to my revision

  • Spend 10 minutes making a list of:
  • What you need to re visit that you have revised

recently.

  • What you need to focus on revising from scratch.
  • Split these into chunks e.g English, History –

revisit these. Maths – alegbra – revise this!

  • Use your 25 minutes to do things like:
  • Create Notes on one of the subjects
  • Review previous revision using your flashcards
  • The Self Test

WHAT CAN PARENTS DO TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILD Ms Grobler

slide-45
SLIDE 45

A Time of Uncertainty

slide-46
SLIDE 46
  • 1. Stay Organised
  • Know timetable.
  • Know how to use

Microsoft teams and SMHW.

  • Have a quiet space to

work.

slide-47
SLIDE 47
  • 2. Avoid Multitasking
  • Less structured time leads

to more temptation to multitask.

  • Multitasking is more like

micro-tasking.

  • Only about 2% of the

population can multitask effectively.

slide-48
SLIDE 48
  • 3. Keep to Schedule
  • It provides structure

which can keep you motivated.

  • Schedules

– Daily – Revision – Isolating

slide-49
SLIDE 49

Great Ideas but….

  • My child already

does all this and is stressed all the time.

  • I cannot motivate

my child.

slide-50
SLIDE 50

A way to help both types of student…

slide-51
SLIDE 51

We make decisions based on our habits

Delaying gratification…..

Strategy

slide-53
SLIDE 53
  • Identify the problems….
  • Attach them to goals that are

rewarding…

  • Feel secure about achieving the

reward….

IF THEN Strategy

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Tina is:

– Fairly unmotivated – texting and binge boxing rather than homework and revision. – Quite disorganised – exam dates not written down, revision notes not done etc.

slide-55
SLIDE 55

……..I stick to my revision schedule for the day…. ……….I can use my phone until bedtime.

Unmotivated

REWARD

slide-56
SLIDE 56

……..I get my revision notes completed…… ………I can spend at least 3 hours

  • ver the

weekend watching TV. REWARD

Disorganised

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Tom is:

– Fairly overwhelmed – he feels he won’t commit all the information to memory. – Has obvious signs of not being confident – all his friends seem to know all the work.

slide-58
SLIDE 58

……..I use the ‘Count and Conquer’ strategy to revise..

……….I can focus on remembering chunks of information each day.

Overwhelmed

REWARD

slide-59
SLIDE 59

…..I ask my mum to test me on sections of work each day……

………I will know what I know and don’t know! REWARD

Confidence

slide-60
SLIDE 60
  • Identify the problems.
  • Make a list of rewards  reasonable

and doable  if not, change them!

  • Using the revision strategies, decide on

the ‘Ifs’ and the ‘thens’

  • Commit to them – don’t make

allowances or excuses.

  • Habits take time to develop don’t give

up!

slide-61
SLIDE 61

Sleep patterns change during adolescence –they are more awake at 9 / 10pm and struggle to get up in the morning

Effect of sleep on learning We can’t change the school day but we can adjust

  • ur expectations

SLEEP

slide-62
SLIDE 62

A lack of sleep negatively affects our emotions  amygdala more reactive in sleep deprived participants

Effect of sleep on learning

If your child has not had enough sleep s/he is not ready to learn – encourage as much sleep as possible!

slide-63
SLIDE 63

Sleep consolidates memory  hippocampus  gateway for long term memories Sleep after learning  clicks the ‘save’ button on newly created files A lack of sleep, especially deep sleep = decreased retention

Effect of sleep on learning Sleep and quality of sleep essential for learning

slide-64
SLIDE 64

SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD IN YEAR 11 – Mrs Cohen

  • Your support is absolutely crucial to them this year
  • Your child feeling loved and supported is vital to their success
  • Your involvement can make all the difference
  • You don’t have to be an expert in any of the subjects
  • You being their champion goes a long way!
slide-65
SLIDE 65

BUT HOW?

Practical support:

  • Help them to create the right environment to study
  • Help them to establish a good working routine and to find the right

balance between work and play

  • Be flexible when you can (birthdays, celebrations)
  • Make them meals, run them a bath, anything to let them know how

much you care Emotional support:

  • Acknowledge their feelings
  • Pick your battles
  • Encourage them to talk to you about whatever is bothering them
  • Offer them an adult perspective
