Studying Effectively Won't Be A Problem Anymore

Oleh: Natasha Serafina (XIA6) ; Lara (XIA1)

As a student, studying is one of our main responsibilities. However, we often feel bored when studying. It might happen due to our lack of knowledge on how to study effectively. Here are some tips for you who are facing that problem.

1. Supportive Environment

One of the keys to effective learning is a good environment. The environment can be categorized into 2, namely the internal and external environment. The internal environment includes our own mood, spirit, and determination. By having it all, our attention will be focused on what we are learning. However, these 3 things are not enough, there is still an external environment that can support us when learning. The external environment includes a comfortable place to study and the facilities we use, such as laptops and smartphones. This external environment can be our support if it's used wisely. On the other hand, it can be a distraction to not be focused. Therefore, if there are tools that we do not need in learning, keep them away from our sight so that we will not be easily distracted.

2. Reliable Sources

Of course, finding information from reliable sources is very important. One of the main sources that we can get is from our teachers at school. So, we have to listen to the teachers as much as possible, writing down the important things might also help. However, the learning information does not only come from the teachers. Nowadays, there are many verified learning applications or websites such as Rumah Belajar, Ruangguru, Zenius, and many more.

3. Duration and Time

Time management in learning is very necessary. Studying for too long can be ineffective because our brain will feel tired and overworked. In studying, the time used should be divided into several parts, for example resting for 5 minutes after 25 minutes of studying. In addition to the division of duration, effective hours of study are also very important. Quoted from Kompas.com, effective study hours are not a matter of day or night, but when the brain is in "acquisition mode", which is from 10 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 10 pm.

4. Setting A Target

Setting targets is a crucial part. By setting a target, we will know to what extent we will learn at that time. With a learning target, we become well-aware of what we are learning and we can finish the learning session after that target is achieved, so that our learning structure will be organized.

5. Repetition Study

Studying regularly with repetition will make us understand and remember the learning material better. Our brains record the material continuously so that what we have learnt will go into "long term memory". In using this learning method, we can use flash cards to support us.
