This document discusses effective study techniques for college students. It recommends using focused and diffused modes of learning. In focused mode, students should read textbooks multiple times, take detailed notes in class, and review them shortly after. In diffused mode, students allow their mind to process the information subconsciously by taking breaks between study sessions. The document also stresses the importance of practicing retrieval of information through techniques like flashcards and self-testing to commit concepts to long-term memory through chunk formation and spaced repetition. Regularly alternating between focused study and diffused relaxation modes can help students learn and retain information more effectively.

This Power Point presentation shares the importance of smooth transitions in the classroom. In addition, the presentation outlines effective strategies for smooth transitions. More importantly, the Power Point presentation shares the importance of promoting independence during transitions.
THE COGNITIVE PROCESS
Cognition is important in human learning. Many of the task as well as our activities and responsibilities in personal and professional life require our cognitive abilities.
Cognition involves various intellectual processes (such as perception, memory thinking and language) through which information is obtained, transformed, stored retrieved and used.
Cognition is a way of processing information, an active process, and a useful process.
THE COMPLEX PROCESS OF COGNITION
COGNITIVE PROCESS OF EXPERTS AND EXPERTS SYSTEM

5 BASIC UNITS OF COGNITION
1. Concepts –building blocks of cognition, it is general labels that we attach to categories of things and information that share common characteristics.
2. Propositions- composed of related concepts.
3. Schemata - general knowledge structures used for understanding.
4. Production – basic unit of procedural knowledge.
Classical Approach-
Prototypical Approach
Exemplar Approach
5. Scripts- specific knowledge structures that contain the sequence of events that usually occur in certain situations.
COGNITIVE STRATEGIES
-mental plans that we apply to manage our thinking and behavior during problem solving or learning.
Student-centered instruction .Students must be actively involved in the learning process.
Activating prior knowledge. Prior knowledge pays major role in constructing meaning.
Social interactions. Social interactions are necessary for students to develop authentic learning
Problem Solving. The creative process of solving a problem happen when students themselves in meaningful learning.
Elaboration . As much as possible we avoid the used of memorization of basic facts . instead we should require students to use those facts in meaningful context.
Concept learning. Concept learning equates with knowledge construction
Important to consider in concept learning
Using core knowledge-
Integration of concepts across curriculum
Provision of an open Ended curriculum
Provision of cognitive flexibility
Provision of cognitive apprenticeship

Every day, employees waste approximately 11% of their time on unproductive learning. According to CEB Research, this misused time costs the average organization more than $134.5 million in employee productivity each year.
Many think the answer is improved content that’s more relevant. But the better answer is actually being more productive and efficient with your learning time, or being a better learner.
The reality is that most of us, even those of us who are in the HR or L&D fields, don’t know how to learn effectively.
Lucky for you, Degreed and Dr. Barbara Oakley are going to help you become a better learner in just 45 minutes.
Self-awareness of how we learn as individuals and in teams becomes the springboard for change and innovative growth within academic institutions.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Nine learning strategies that work both pedagogically and practically
- How to use data to learn how learners learn
- Current methods for integrating and implementing learning strategies
- The learning principles of engagement, connection, interaction, attention, memory and reflection

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Read, underline, make
summaries, prepare mind
maps
If you read your textbook at least 7
times, you’ll be fine.
Read again and again
Is it the answer? .
3. Read, underline, make summaries
prepare mind maps
I you read your textbook at least 7 times,
you’ll be fine.
Read again and again
Is it the answer? NO!
4. Overlearning
• When we read the same notes again and
again, they become familiar
5. Illusion of competence
• As the material becomes familiar, we gain
fluency
• There is a feeling we already know the
material
• In fact, we don’t
6. Use focused mode during lectures
Review your notes later that day
Practice and test
Go for a walk or otherwise use the
diffused mode
There is a better way
7. Focused mode
• Allows the mind to
recognize familiar
patterns
• Problems related to
these patterns are
easily solved
• Works in a sequencial
way – step by step
reasoning
8. Allow no distractions
Keep your mobile turned off. Do not sit
next to your best friend
Try to follow the lecture. Take notes of the
key points
Try to connect what’s being said to other
things you already know
At the end of the lecture, write a brief
summary of the main points covered
Focused mode
9. Revision allows the information to find a
place in the large store of the long term
memory
Start chunk formation
Review your notes later that day
10. Chunk formation
• Use focused
attention
• Understand the
problem
• Practice
New chunks will be placed in your hanger
(long term memory)
12. Chunk formation
However, simple
understanding
how a problem is
solved does not
necessarily create
a chunk that can
be used later
13. Close the book and try
to solve the problem
by yourself
The chunk (creation of neural
patterns) will only be created by
doing it yourself
Bottom up learning
How the chunk fits in the big picture
15. Interleave
But do not keep working
on the same kind of
problems for too long
Change type of problems
or change subjects
16. Deliberate Practice
Focus on the most difficult part
Spaced repetition
Review frequently
Bottom up learning
Practice .
17. We can also look at chunks
as if they were a puzzle.
In the beginning, it is difficult to place the
pieces.
18. We can also look at chunks
as if they were a puzzle.
We then get some pieces together – they can
be seen as a chunk.
The more chunks we have, the easiest it gets
to
place the next piece
19. We can also look at chunks
as if they were a puzzle.
Even if we did not know how the puzzle would
look like, we start to see the big picture after
having done some chunks.
20. If you think it is difficult to
find the will to do the
Practice…
23. It is an “anti-procrastination”
technique
• Find a place where you can be concentrated
• Shut out all interruptions
• Work for 25 minutes
24. Use flashcards
Test yourself
• Do it consistently for short periods of time
• Recall will allow the information to
be stored in the long term memory
• Use manual or computarized
flash cards
• In any case, make your own – you
are the only person to know what you need to
learn!
25. Do it every day (ok, you can
take Sunday off)
Eventually all the new concepts will be safely
kept in the long term memory.
New concepts will be easier to grasp, because
you have now more chunks,
more hangers to help connect the
new material.
26. Revisions
• Recall and think about the material in
different places than the one
where you first learned it
• It increases the neural
connections
27. Go for a walk or otherwise use the
diffused mode
There is a better way
28. Diffused mode
• Now it is time for your brain to work on the
material at his own pace
• You can take a nap, go for a walk, go clean
your room , and your brain will be working
on the material
29. Diffused mode
What we talked about
Do you recall all the topics?
Chunks
Pomodoro
Deliberate
practice
Spaced repetition
Overlearning
Illusion of
competency
Focused mode
