What is a "learning strategy" that can improve grades at a cost of only 15 minutes?

However, research results have been reported that "performance of strategy" influences performance before studying in the first place.

To objectively grasp and recognize my thoughts and behaviors as "Metacognition"Meta cognition becomes very important in learning though it calls it. In order to improve the performance of the students, they need to recognize "how you think" and then build your own strategy of "how to study" on top of that.

According to Patricia Chen studying social psychology at Stanford University, many students asked "why they use the resources in their studies" and "how to use resources to study effectively" I do not think, I will head to study before setting up my learning strategy. Mr. Chen thinks that such posture will kill the potential possibilities of producing better results.

In the study of Chen et al. Announced in April 2017, two field experiments were conducted. In this experiment, college students were divided into two groups, one group helped to think carefully about "how to study" and "how to study efficiently" before statistical testing, while the other group There were only two points of "simply being tested" and "requiring preparation" to be told.

At the university in the United States the grades are stated as "A +" "A" "A-", but as a result of the experiments, the former group is higher by one step than the latter group on average It turned out. It is also known that those who have been voiced twice for meta-recognition will perform better than those who did only once.

In other words, the research revealed that two points, "instructing the goal" and "making the resource think about which resource to select and use" will be very important in studying.

Here, how to make meta-recognition of learning? Chen and others 'experiments which were able to raise students' actual results were as follows, though it is anxious to say that.

In the experiment, a questionnaire survey distributed to half of the class students in 15 minutes was distributed. In this survey, I first made the students think about what kind of results they wanted to give in the tests they would like to receive and how much it is important for them to obtain the desired results.

Next, "what kind of problems are likely to be presented in the test", and reading practical questions / texts of lecture note · test · 15 lecturer's work hours such as lecturer's working hours · discussion · tutoring Let me think about which one is going to be useful for studying. At that time, he told me why he chose the resource and how to use the resource, and made an efficient study plan. Researchers said that there was no statistical difference in the performance of the students before the test and no significant difference in GPA · motivation. In addition, I wrote that the students' desire for the test results, the race, performance level, sex difference etc were not statistically.

Also, as a result of the test, the group explained about learning meta-cognition not only was good grades but also less stress related to the test, and the sense that I was able to control the performance by myself was also strong.

In the UK Educational Endowment Foundation (Educational Foundation / EFF), which tries to reduce academic inequality, the most effective mediation method in learning isIt is indicated as "meta cognition" and "feedback". It is understood that students who improved how to think about how to accelerate learning are accelerated, and in particular, it is said that the effect was great for students with low grades and older students.

The reason why the method of meta-recognition used by Mr. Chen and others is excellent is that "money is not cost" anyway. Because not only teachers but also parents can call out to children, "What do you think is not functioning well what you are doing?" "Other things you can use to improve performance Is there a way to speak to the child? "" Do you think there is a better way than the way everyone is doing? "Chen suggested by Mr. Chen.
