StudyEssentials – Focused and efficient learning
Learning - A challenge with many motivational and cognitive hurdles. The first challenge is to overcome one's own inertia, activate self-motivation and maintain effort throughout a longer learning phase. The second challenge is to reach deep understanding of learning material and long-term storage of knowledge. An optimal attitude and knowledge of learning mechanisms are already half the battle. In this seminar, you will acquire the basics of motivation, willpower and learning psychology in order to be optimally prepared for intensive learning phases. Learning is exhausting, but knowing efficient learning principles will help you to make the effort pay off.
Topics:
Basics of motivational psychology: The role of expectations and growth theory of abilities. Basics of will psychology: planning, action initiation and goal realization. Basics of learning psychology: learning and memory, innate intelligence and acquired skills. Introduction to efficient learning principles: Long-term learning versus bulimic learning, learning goals versus performance goals, varying learning conditions, learning by self-testing, desirable difficulties and productive failure. Tips around lectures and seminars: Taking notes, summarizing and actively retrieving.
