Success in the course is not related to intelligence or personality traits alone. In order to increase the success of the course, the educator, psychologist, family and child should act together. With the study program prepared according to mind maps, each child will make progress in his study and success within the framework of his capacity. In the same way, students search for ways to have the highest performance with the least effort in order to be successful in the lessons. In this article, you will learn about the factors that affect effective study.
Knowing yourself is the most important factor that increases course success. First of all, we need to understand in which areas the child has problems while studying and which areas are easier for him. Generally, when it comes to course failure, experts focus on the areas where the child is unsuccessful and try to improve the child in these areas. However, the areas where the child is successful should also be determined. When the strong points of the child are revealed, both the child's self-confidence increases and he/she comes to a level where he/she can use the advantages he/she has on his/her disadvantaged features indirectly.
Important points in the self/student recognition phase for Effective Study Methods:
As a first step, the success of the course should be examined. Focusing on the performance of a child whose academic success is average or above average and working with the performance of the child with a significant inadequacy in lesson success are carried out with different methods.
The second stage is the examination of the student's motivation. Does the student want to be better in his lessons or is the success of the lesson a subject that is forced by the family and the teacher and that the student does not care much? If the student wants to be successful in his lessons, although effective study methods will give results quickly, if the student's motivation to be successful is low, the reasons for this should be investigated and a counseling plan should be prepared accordingly. Psychological problems due to low learning motivation, There may be many reasons such as family problems, economic reasons, mental and developmental problems, etc.
The most common reason for low learning motivation is that the child is not conscious to grasp the necessity of education. The child sees studying as an obligation, a punishment and does not understand the importance of education in his own life. The fact that cognitive and psychological maturity is lagging behind in early age children compared to other friends may cause low motivation alone, while the child's social environment and his own inner world in adolescence may cause low motivation.
Another most common reason is that the child's self-confidence is broken by the school, family or environment. Many reasons such as having a more successful sibling at home, showing special attention to the hardworking students and being indifferent to the unsuccessful students cause the child, who tries to be successful in the lessons and does not achieve the desired result, withdraw into himself after a certain period of effort, and does not make any effort in the lessons because his self-confidence drops. .
Another factor in low learning motivation is perfectionist attitudes. Sometimes, while some people want to be the best, they experience great disappointment when they are even second. The child who thinks “There is no point in trying if I can't be the best” is usually not even aware of this thought and because of this thought, he withdraws himself and starts to try to prove himself in non-school areas.
Sometimes the child has various unconscious myths. They tend to see students who study and succeed in their studies as boring, rule-bound, worthless, and may call them by nicknames commonly known as "nerds". Low motivation due to myths; It can occur with misdirection, negative role models and negative social environment. we must have been. The next step is to examine his learning styles.
In general, the education system in schools is based on the auditory learning model. When the education system is not supported with visual and tactile elements, children whose learning model is not auditory will be incomplete. In addition, being aware of the learning model of the student, the student himself, the teacher and his parents will increase his effectiveness in studying. One of the most common problems is the presence of distracting factors in the child's work environment at school and at home. In addition, the education and working environment should be prepared according to the cognitive and emotional characteristics of the child. The restless or noisy family environment that prevents studying and other responsibilities that the child has may also cause performance loss.
After all these stages; Cognitive characteristics such as the child's intelligence level, learning capacity, interests, attention span and concentration should be analyzed when necessary. Thanks to the mind maps made by expert psychologists, a detailed analysis is prepared so that your child can study effectively. Thanks to this analysis, you can increase your child's academic success and enable him to study effectively.
Education Check-Up system applied to children aged 7-14; It reveals the child's cognitive, developmental and psychological characteristics in 3 stages with current psychological measurement tools, and then draws the child's mind map to reveal to the child, family and teacher how the child can learn better, in which areas he is successful and in which areas he needs to be supported.
