1st Step Course

Advanced Learning Techniques Course

1. Keywords skill
Keywords skill is crucial in helping the students to pick out important concepts while studying. Moreover, the students will be able to understand questions better and provide answers in a relevant manner. With this, students’ marks will be able to improve drastically. Also, keywords skill forms the foundation of other advanced learning techniques such as key reading, memory techniques and mind mapping.

2. Key reading
Key Reading enhances student’s ability in what they read. By focusing on the keywords, the students will be able to cut their reading time by 50%. Furthermore, the students will be taught to correct their bad reading habits, which can be the main cause of why they are losing focus when they read.  Various proper reading techniques will be imparted to the students to help them to read with greater efficiency during the course.

3. Mind Mapping
Mind mapping speeds up one’s learning through various ways. Firstly, only keywords are written down in mind maps. This reduces the amount of information required to memorize by. Secondly, Mind mapping provides an overview of the chapters which enables the students to understand how various parts of a particular chapter are being integrated, thus enhancing their understanding of each chapter. Thirdly, Mind mapping helps in boosting one’s memory through pictures and colors. This is co6nsistent with recent research results, which show that people tend to remember things better through pictures rather than words.

4. Memory Techniques
Despite the shift from pure memorization to the application of knowledge in the Education System, memory work remains essential and will continue to be so in the future. This is because memorization and application are not exclusive of each other. Rather, application is a higher thought order dependent on memorization. In order to apply what they have learnt, the students need to have the information stored in a bank readily available to be withdrawn and manipulated as answers for the examinations. It is crucial to understand that good memory can be acquired and honed by anyone with the right techniques and also with constant practice. Beautyful Minds seeks to provide the students with the toolbox to remember their school syllabus with less effort.
