I am currently working on a program to deliver study skills to our Sixth Form students here at Haileybury – looking at a variety of approaches including:
- Pomodoro technique
- Cornell note taking
- Organisation
- Dual coding
- Examination technique
- Spacing
- Retrieval practice
- Interleaving
- Elaboration
- Concrete examples
This is pulled from research by, amongst others, Jennifer Gonzalez and The Learning Scientists, and I was delighted to have completed the following study skills course to firm up some of my beliefs: “Improving Your Study Techniques” delivered via the University of Groningen.
Thanks go out to Maple Hupkins and Anne-Miek Hermsen for an engaging and insightful course – I note that it is aimed at university-grade students but I am trialling some of the content on our Y11 students.
If anybody has any study skills experiences / tips they wish to share to enhance this offering, please feel free to get in touch.
