                               1. LEARNING PYRAMID 

THIS THE LEARNING PYRAMID

5 % - WE ONLY GETS 5% WHEN OUR LECTURE ARE GIVING SOMETHING KNOWLEDGE

10 % - WE GETS 10% IF WE CONTINUE READING WHAT OUR LECTURER'S NOTES

20 % - WE GETS 20% WHEN WE DO HEAR THE AUDIO THAT LECTURE'S GIVES, OR PICTURES

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEMORY AND BRAIN

MEMORY VS BRAIN 

DEFINITION OF MEMORY 

MEMORY IS LIKE A FILM THAT CAPTURE ALL THINGS THAT WE THINK.

IT IS WHERE IS MEMORIZE. THE FACULTY BY WHICH THE MIND STORES AND REMEMBERS ANY KIND OF INFORMATION . MEMORY ALSO CAN DEFINE AS A SOMETHING WE REMEMBERED FROM THE PAST .

DEFINITION OF BRAIN 

BRAIN IS AN ORGAN OF SOFT NERVOUS TISSUE CONTAINED IN A SKULL OF VERTEBRATES. ITS COORDINATING CENTER OF SENSATION.

BRAIN IS A PLACED WHERE ALL THE MEMORIES WERE BE KEPT.

TYPES OF MEMORY

SO, WE HAVE THREE TYPE OF MEMORY. WHICH IS :-   

• SENSORY MEMORY ( SM )
• SHORT TERM MEMORY ( STM )
• LONG TERM MEMORY ( LTM )

PEOPLE HAVE THREE TYPES OF HUMAN MEMORY. FIRST, SENSORY MEMORY THAT WILL STORE NUMEROUS INCOMING INFORMATION FROM OUR 5 SENSES. SECOND, SHORT TERM MEMORY WITH VERY LIMITED STORAGE. LASTLY, LONG TERM MEMORY WITH AN UNLIMITED AND LARGE STORAGE.

OTHER THAN THAT, MISS AINA TAUGHT US HOW TO IMPROVE OUR STRATEGY.

KEEP FORGETTING COULD OCCUR SUCH AS LAST MINUTE STUDYING WHICH IS NOT GOOD, DID NOT HAVE GOOD STRATEGIES AND LACK OF ATTENTION. THE WAY TO IMPROVE OUR MEMORY IS :-

1. MASSED PRACTICE VS SPACED PRACTICE
IT ALLOWS TIME FOR THE INFORMATION TO CONSOLIDATE IN THE LONG TERM MEMORY.

2. BREAK READING MATERIAL DOWN FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME 

FOR EXAMPLE, READ 2 CHAPTERS A DAY, NOT ALL CHAPTERS A DAY BEFORE TAKING YOUR EXAMINATIONS.

      IN LEARNING , DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHERS. YOU HAD YOUR OWN WAY TO STUDY. EVERYONE HAS THE DIFFERENT KIND OF BRAIN. ALLAH GRANT US , EVERYONE HAVE A BRAIN. IT IS JUST HOW THEY USE IT.

3. REHEARSAL

A REHEARSAL A REHEARSAL STRATEGY USES REPEATED PRACTICE OF INFORMATION TO LEARN IT. WHEN A STUDENT IS PRESENTED WITH SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO BE LEARNED, SUCH AS A LIST, OFTEN HE WILL ATTEMPT TO MEMORIZE THE INFORMATION BY REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER.

4.ELABORATION STRATEGIES 
  - ACRONYMS 

  eg : MAS - MALAYSIA AIRLINES SYSTEM

 - ACROSTICS / CATCHPHRASES

5. MNEMONICS
  -MEMORY TRICKS 

6. IMAGERY 

7. ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES.

OTHER THAN THAT, MISS AINA TAUGHT ME ABOUT WHY MOST PEOPLE EASILY LOST THE CONCENTRATION DURING LEARNING ABOUT SOMETHING.

WHAT IS THE CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION?

1. LACK OF ATTENTION 

2. LACK OF INTEREST

3. LACK OF MOTIVATION

4. DISTRACTION FROM OTHERS

5. UNCOMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT

6. PHYSIOLOGICAL MATTERS - ILLNESS, TIREDNESS.

THERE IS STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING OUR CONCENTRATION USING THESE METHOD WHICH IS :-

SQ3R IS A READING COMPREHENSION METHOD NAMED FOR ITS FIVE STEP 

STANDS FOR :-

S - SURVEY

Q - QUESTION 

R- READ 

R - RECITE 

R - REVIEW

MISS AINA GIVES US ONE TASK. WE NEED TO DO ONE MIND MAP OF WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED ABOUT THIS MODULE.

MIND MAP ABOUT MODULE 5

THAT IS ALL ABOUT WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN THESE MODULE WITH MISS AINA . THANK YOU 💙
