4. Study Skills:
Study skills, academic skill, or study
strategies are approaches applied to learning.
Study skills are an array of skills which tackle
the process of organizing and taking in new
information, retaining information, or dealing
with assessments. They include mnemonics,
which aid the retention of lists of information.
Reference: Wikipedia

5. Why Study Skills Important?

 Effort is more worthwhile

11. Types of Study Skills:
1) Studying to gather information
The purpose is to formulate a complete and
accurate set of textbook and lecture notes. Some
ways to do this are:
a. Identify the information to be learned
b. Organize, condense, and record
c. Verify the completeness and accuracy of your
notes
Reference: By Dennis Congos, University of Central Florida

12. Types of Study Skills:
2) Studying to learn information
The purpose is to move information from
short-term memory into long-term memory. Some
ways to do this are:
a. Make times in your schedule
b. Make a notecard
c. Look at a main idea
d. look at the details to check
Reference: By Dennis Congos, University of Central Florida

13. Types of Study Skills:
3) Studying to check for learning:
The purpose is to identify what has and has
not yet been learned before a test is taken when
something can still be done about it. Go over
material you "believe" has been learned as follows:
a. Look only at a main point
b. Aloud
c. check for accuracy
Reference: By Dennis Congos, University of Central Florida

14. Types of Study Skills:
4) Studying to refresh:
The purpose is to prevent forgetting. This requires a means for
regular recitation of material already learned. Two ways to do this are:
1. Make regular times
2. Regularly review
Reference: By Dennis Congos, University of Central Florida

15. Types of Study Skills:
5) Studying to improve learning skills:
This is the most neglected and overlooked type of
studying. The purpose is to identify learning skills that worked so
they can be repeated and identify learning skills that didn't work
well so that they can be modified or replaced. Four ways to
improve learning skills are:
a. Use each quiz and test as feedback
b. Evaluate the effectiveness of your learning skills
c. Modify/replace learning skills that resulted in lost points
d. Use the resources that improve learning skills
Reference: By Dennis Congos, University of Central Florida

16. Reading:
Reading is the complex cognitive
process of decoding symbols to derive
meaning. It is a form of language processing.
Reading is a means for language acquisition,
communication, and sharing information and
ideas.
Reference: Wikipedia

17. Components of Reading:
Three components
1. Decoding
2. Comprehension
3. Retention
Reference: Wikihow

18. Types of Reading:
Four Types
1) Skimming
2) Scanning
3) Intensive
4) Extensive
Reference: Anderson, R.C and Peason PD, (Peason Edition 1984)

19. Skimming Reading:
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important
information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important
information. It's not essential to understand each word when
skimming.
Examples:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to
read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
Reference: Anderson, R.C and Peason PD, (Peason Edition 1984)

20. Scanning Reading:
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information.
Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of
information you need. If you see words or phrases that you don't
understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples:
• The "What's on TV" section (itinerary) of your newspaper
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
Reference: Anderson, R.C and Peason PD, (Peason Edition 1984)

21. Intensive Reading:
Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to
extract specific information. In this case, it is important that you
understand each word, number or fact.
Examples:
• A bookkeeping report
• An insurance claim
• A contract
Reference: Anderson, R.C and Peason PD, (Peason Edition 1984)

22. Extensive Reading:
Extensive reading is used to obtain a general
understanding of a subject and includes reading longer texts for
pleasure, as well as business books. Do not worry if you understand
each word
Examples:
• The latest marketing strategy book
• A novel you read before going to bed
• Magazine articles that interest you
Reference: Laufer, B. (1997), "The lexical plight in second language reading, Cambridge University Press, pp. 20–34

the general idea of it.

search a particular text or word in the
document
Ability to go through the article quickly Ability to find quickly
Ability to understand Relevant reading Fingers can be effective
