Learn to learn: a video series teaching pupils how to learn
Barbara Oakley, the author of “Learning how to Learn” was a visitor at our school last fall, and I wrote about her work and her visit here and here. Actually the first post she shared in her weekly newsletter, something I really appreciated.
At our school, we are working on helping our students become better learners. Many young people struggle trying to juggle school work, work outside school, friends and athletic activities. Barbara Oakley has made a 15 part course for students to help them organize their school work and be more effective in the way they study. I highly recommend this for every student and I have shared the video from the third part here. Below I have listed the 15 parts. I bet that if you invest time on this, you will be rewarded with better results. I know for a fact that research shows that students who do homework on a regular basis are more likely to succeed in school and further studies. Establishing healthy work habits pay off in the long run. Why not try? And if you are a teacher reading this, please share this with your students.
