Complete the table below to identify and reflect on those factors and plan actions for each.
| Recognition/ Reflection | Action |
| What helps my learning? | How can I utilise this? |
| Example: “Discussing the topic with others” | · Set up a study group of like-minded peers
· Engage with the online community |
| Reading | · Making sure I read up on something I don’t fully understand
· Reading up on things I have been asked to so in order to be prepared for classes. |
| Taking notes | · Taking notes in class and rereading them in order that I have fully understood what I have been writing |
| Using mind maps | · Using mind maps helps me as I am more likely to look over something in a mind map and understand that there is a link from other subjects |
| Using coloured pen | · As I am a visual learner, the use of coloured pens and highlighters helps me to pick up on key things that I have noted and makes my work more visually pleasing.
· Its helps me to engage with subjects and can make things more interesting to look at and read. |
| Recognition/Reflection | Action | |
| What hinders my learning? | How can I address this factor? | |
| Example: “I’m easily distracted” | · Study in a place where distractions are minimal
· Read lecture notes before the lecture and then take notes lectures to keep me focused |
|
| Use of Technology | · Making sure that I don’t have my phone next to me while trying to work.
· Turning it off during class and study time. |
|
| Others around me | · Whilst studying making sure that I am alone so that I am unable to get distracted by others speaking to me in order to work to my best ability. | |
