TOPIC 1: Getting Ready to Learn

               Goal Setting

Learning Style Inventory



Transition from School to University

Characteristic of Succesful Students
1. Attend All Classes. One of the best ways to be successful in college is to attend all classes. Although you will be tested on material from the course text, most of the test questions will come from lectures. 

2. Become an Active Learner. Unlike high school, in college, you can’t learn all of the material just reading over it a couple of times. You need to write and recite the information to get it into long-term memory. 

3. Participate in Class. If you feel a bit uncomfortable participating in class, set a goal to either ask or answer one question during each class. Once you begin participating, you’ll feel more a part of the class and will become more actively involved in the learning process.

4. Get to Know Your Lecturers. Take a few minutes and stop to talk with your lecturer before or after class or during office hours. Ask a question about the material or check on your progress in the course. If you get to know your instructors, you may feel more comfortable asking for help when you need it. 

5. Form Study Groups with Friends. Study Groups of about 3-4 people are known to be very effective. However, make sure that you include friends who are serious about doing well in their studies, because only then they will contribute. 

6. Stay Up to Date with Your Work. Many new college students have difficulty keeping up with all of the reading that’s assigned in class. If you get behind in your reading, you may never have time to catch up. The workload in college just increases as the semester progresses. Never procrastinate! 

7. Be Receptive to Change. If the strategies that you used in high school aren’t working, ask you lecturer or tutor for suggestions for different ways to learn. Even though the strategies that they suggest may not seem like they’ll work, you must be willing to give them a chance. If you don’t make changes in the way you take notes, read your texts or prepare for exams, for example, you won’t see changes in your performance. 

8. Work Hard This Semester. Forget about doing all your assignments in the evening. If you’re taking fifteen credits this semester, you’ll need a minimum of thirty hours (two hours outside of class for every hour in class) to do your work. If you want high grades, if you work slowly or if you’re taking difficult courses, you’ll need more time to do your work well.


What is Learning Styles?

Learning style is an individuals natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. A core concept is that individuals different in how they learn. 





Using Learning Style to Enhance Performance

Learning Styles Inventory

Scoring Your Inventory

My learning style is visual.
The visual learning style, often referred to as the spatial learning style, is a way of learning in which information is associated with images. This learning style requires that learners first see what they are expected to know. People with a visual learning style are often referred to as visual-spatial learners.

Goal Setting


GOALS

What is a goal?
-Something you would like to achieve

What is the purpose of setting goals?
-Goals give you direction and keep you focused on where you want to end up.



WHAT IS GOAL SETTING?

-Goal setting is approves for thinking about your ideal future and for motivating yourself to turn this vision of the future into reality.

-The process of goal setting will help you where you want to go in life.

-Properly set goals can be incredibly motivating and as you get into the habit of setting and achieving goals,you will find your self confidence builds fast.


SMART GOAL SETTING:

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOALS 

Specific

What is it that you want, from a particular goal? What you want to achieve? Everything must be clearly specified.  You have to be specific about the details.It is better to write them down and stick it on the wall or door of refrigerator or any place where you can see it every time. If the goal has a picture, put it up. These specific details program your sub-conscious mind, and your focus shifts from the obstacles to the efforts that you can make to attain the goal.

Measurable

You need to identify the quantifiable aspect of the goal. This way you will be able to measure your progress, and actually remain motivated. For certain kinds of goals, you may not be able to measure the results, especially for relationship goals or spiritual goals, but you can always record the activities that you are doing that will take you towards the goal.

Attainable

Setting goals that are unrealistic can actually have a negative effect rather than positive one. It is good to stretch yourself a bit, so that you can grow more towards your potential, but it must not be something that is impossible to be real.

Some people set goals, more to impress others. Many times people set unattainable goals so that they can later blame their failure on the goal that was impossible to start with. So, set goals that may be difficult and challenging but not impossible.

Rewarding

The feeling that you get on achieving the goal is the reward that will keep you motivated in face of challenges and obstacles and prevent you from quitting. These rewards could be of different types based on the type of goals discussed in last page. It could be positions in your career, material rewards based on your financial well being, physical, spiritual, or relationships oriented.

Time-Bound

The final ingredient of SMART goal is that it must be time bound. It must not be too short, as it will make the goal unattainable, and not be too much. Time is one of the prices that you are paying for the goal, and you must give it time that the goal is worth. Setting deadline will also insure you against procrastination and perfectionism.

The bigger goals in the life must be set first and an action plan prepared to achieve them. These bigger goals are usually the long terms goals or life goals. The action plan of these long term big goals will contain smaller medium term goals with their own individual action plans, which in turn will contain even smaller goals till they boil down to monthly and daily goals.

LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM GOALS

Long-term goals is the objective of the goals that you set end of the year for yourself for four or five years from now,or even for a lifetime.

Short-term goals  we can set for an hour from now, end of day or semester.

5 STEP APPROACH TO SETTING GOALS:

1. Tentative goal statement

2.List of obstacles

3.List of resources

4.Revive goals statement

5.Polished goals statement
