MODULE 5 : MEMORY, IMPROVING CONCENTRATION & READING SYSTEM

 5.1 UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESS

According to Kenneth Higbee, “remembering is hard work, and memory techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just make it more effective” (Van Blerkom, 2009, p. 93).

5.2 MEMORY STRATEGIES

Memory strategies, why it is important? 

 • Memory strategies will help students in their encoding, storing, and retrieving the information (helps to remember and recall).

5.3 READING / STUDY SYSTEM (SQ3R)

Reading academic materials are different from general reading tasks (story books, newspaper). Using a study system can help in comprehending reading academic materials due to three factors: 

 i.active learning strategies 

ii. use of multisensory methods (eyes, ears, mouth, hands – refer to the learning pyramid)

 iii. immediate steps for self-testing and review

SQ3R: SURVEY-QUESTION-READ-RECITE-REVIEW

• Survey: Students review the text to gain initial meaning from the title, subtitle, chapter introduction or lead-in, boldfaced headings, graphs, charts, pictures, the final paragraph or summary and end-of-chapter material (study / discussion questions, vocabulary list).

 • Question: Students try to form questions based on the preview (survey).

 • Read: As students read, they need to look for answers to the questions they formed during their preview of the text. These questions, based on the structure of the text, help focus students' reading.

 • Recite: after each section, pause. Students will attempt to answer questions formed earlier. If students could not answer, then look back and find the answer in the section. Students should recite and rehearse the answers to their questions. Summarize the information. As students move through the text they should recite or rehearse the answers to their questions and make notes about their answer for later studying. 

 • Review: After you have finished reading the whole reading assignment, refer back to each heading. Recall your questions and try to answer the them. If you cannot recall, go back and find the answer. This part is to test yourself.

ACTIVITY

ACTIVITY 1

ACTIVITY 2

Ask students to close their eyes and lecturer write down on the whiteboard 15-20 random numbers. Once finish ask students to look at the numbers for 5 seconds, then lecturer erase the numbers and ask them to write down on the paper as much that students can recall). Usually students will get approximately 7 – 12 numbers randomly. This indicate the limited capacity of STM (the capacity of STM is 5 – 9 items (Miller, 1956).   

"CLOSE YOUR EYES"

ACTIVITY 3

Count backwards in your mind from twenty to one. Once you have mastered this, move on to counting backwards from twenty to one but this time skipping three numbers

ACTIVITY 4

MODULE 6 : TAKING LECTURE NOTES

                              6.1 TAKING LECTURE NOTES

WHY TAKE LECTURE NOTES? 

 • Promotes active listening

 • Provides an accurate record of information 

 • Helps you organize the information 

 • Provides additional repetition

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR NOTES 

 • Headings 

 • Details– Facts– Explanations– Definitions– Enumerations– Examples

 • Anything repeated or spelled out Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

 • Anything on:– The chalkboard– A PowerPoint slide– A transparency

 • Drawings, charts, or problems written on the board 

 • Conclusional statements 

                          6.2 EFFECTIVE NOTE-TAKING SYSTEMS 

 The 5 Types of Note-Taking Methods You Need To Learn 

 1)Cornell Method 

 2)Outline Method 

 3)Mapping Method 

 4)Charting Method 

 5)Boxing Method Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 

Documenting Sources: Using APA Format

Why Use APA Format?

 • Allows readers to cross-reference your sources easily 

 • Provides consistent format within a discipline 

 • Gives you credibility as a writer 

 • Protects yourself from plagiarism

                                                             APA Style: Two Main Concerns

    1) Reference Page

 Most citations should contain the following basic information: 

 • Author’s name 

 • Title of work

 • Publication information

Parenthetical Citations

  

                    

                                                   When Should You Use Parenthetical Citations?

  

• When summarizing facts and ideas from a source– Summarizing means to take ideas from a large passage of another source and condense them, using your own words 

• When paraphrasing a source– Paraphrasing means to use the ideas from another source but change the phrasing into your own words

                                                              Handling Quotes in Your Text

 • Author’s last name, publication year, and page number(s) of quote must appear in the text 

 Caruth (1996) states that a traumatic response frequently entails a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” (p.11).

PARAPHRASING EXERCISES

ACTIVITY 2

1. Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester:

2. Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a in Chemistry.

    Amelia will get GPA higher than 2.75 .

3. What is the difference in GPA?

     

    The difference in GPA is divide the total credits that we get from our semester that is grade points average to help us to get more through the subject.        

4. Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester.

5. What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+ ?

  

    Amelia will get 1.00 in course point average and her gpa will be 2.27.

6. What is the difference in GPA?

    Amelia will be lower than before if she get D in Cell Biology.

7. What is the difference in CGPA?

    Amelia CGPA is good but obatain pass only.

8. What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the 2nd semester if her CGPA falls below 2.50 in the 1st semester.

   She need atleast score B in all subject so that she can get 3.00 CGPA in her next semester.
