Techniques such as sharing block studies, interpretation of the subjects, the explanation aloud and the active call helps on fire and the efficiency of the memorization
In Preparation for the admission examThe maximum that “studying longer” is equivalent to “learning more” is not always true. The strategies to make studies more efficient and a better content of the studied content can be more important than spending hours in front of a book, without necessarily “absorbing” all subjects.
The first step in creating a correct study routine is to understand how the brain learns and what methods to work individually for each student, according to the neuropsychologist Maria Maia.
“Often, the productivity that students are looking for are no more hours of dedication, but in times of rest and the techniques that are neglected,” he says.
8. Different formats, different stimuli
The consumption of content in different formats is good because while some absorb information from reading, others pay more attention to video or audios. “The student needs to understand what is the way his brain likes to learn,” says Maia.
Furthermore, diversify formats Helps to consolidate learning activating more areas of the brain. “More diversify the ways in which it elaborates and accessed the contents, the better for focus and memorization”, explains the educator and psychologist Daniela Ramos, professor of teaching methodology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).
A recommended feature is a guided reading, which helps you focus on having two sources of stimulus: viewing and hearing.
9. Change the energy for coffee
Caffeine increases the alert, attention and cognitive performance and is present both in coffee and in the energetic. The latter, however, in addition to being industrialized, is more concentrated and its effect is faster, which, according to the neuropsychologist, can lead to addiction, causing other sources of energy, such as coffee itself, loses its effect.
Many energy still contain a high sugar content and have greater cardiovascular risk.
Coffee is a natural product, so healthy, and its effect is slower, which is the best for the body, according to the professional. It is worth remembering, however, that excess coffee is also harmful and can cause anxiety, insomnia, palpitations and, in some people, gastrointestinal discomfort.
“I would say, don’t take energy. If possible, never. If it is not once every 15, 30 days, when it is essential. But I don’t think there is a situation in which it is essential,” he says.
10. Intercalis the subjects
It may seem contrary, but alternating between different subjects during a study session, instead of focusing on the hours on a single topic, can help keep the information. This alternation challenges the brain more, making it more active and improving long -term storage.
It is also productive to review the subjects more often, instead of studying “all at once” and move on to the following subject.
“Alternating between reading, mathematics, grammar, instead of focusing on consecutive hours in one, is a super contrast, but our brain works better, because it seems more challenged, that is, it is more activated and this improves conservation”, explains Maia.
11. Attention to the reward system
Using the reward system – as “if compared to today’s study planning I can watch a film later” – it can work for a part of the students, but it should be used with caution, warns Maia. For some people, this can be a way to punish yourself, interrupting trust and self -esteem.
“The students, in particular the admission exams, are very fast people to punish and judge that they are not doing enough. Your life does not only concern your studies, it is happening independently of the quantity you can study,” says the neuropsychologist.
“Many think: ‘I haven’t studied, so I’m not going to do my sport.’ So it hurts and on his mobile phone, which is worse, and perhaps your sport helps you want to study.
He also explains that car -chiuso behavior does not work. “We don’t learn for punishment, we learn by reward,” he says. “Celebrate better that you studied than punishing yourself for not studying.”
12. Stress and anxiety management
To manage stress and anxiety, common feelings in the admission exam, a good night of Sleeping, healthy and practical diet of physical activity They are very important, but often neglected during this period, for reasons of lack of time.
“Sleep is very important for the memorization process, while we sleep we do it (the information learned), which help in memory. And a healthy diet and physical activity helps a lot in mental health, so that it can have good learning”, says Ramos, who studies didactic aspects of the teaching and learning process.
He also mentions the importance of balanced moments of rest and distraction with the discipline of studies.
Ally to this, Psychotherapy and meditation They also help to become more centered, with greater mental clarity and emotional balance, favoring both well -being and performance in studies.
“If you are having a chronic stress crisis, a panic crisis, for example, with cold water in the sky or ice in your hands, be careful not to burn, it is a good option. The active feeling of ice cream is a nerve responsible for our escape response,” explains Maia.
13. I was going as a “personal assistant”
Artificial intelligence can be a great ally, provided that it has been strategically used, not as a tool to “think for you”.
Maia’s recommendation is to treat the IA as an assistant to make it easier to apply other strategies, for example: Ask chat to create questionnaires from a summary that the student has developed – thus force the active memory – instead of asking the tool to summarize a text for it.
“I don’t like to think about me. He kills my stimulus to my brain,” underlines the psychologist.
Other uses of AI include Ask for suggestions for the related content in different formats (such as podcast or video) or even Ask “what is missing in this summary I did?” To identify the gaps aware.
The key is Use technology to optimize and deepen your learning process, not to outsource it.
