Covid-19 Turns Online Learning The Way Forward In Education

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 27): As the year 2020 comes to an end, the country has seen an unprecedented change to the dynamic and culture of education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, causing schools and varsities to halt operation at certain period.

The situation has ‘forced’ millions of students across the country to fully utilise their laptops or devices and start learning from home via online. The question for us now is: “Is Malaysia’s education ready for the new era of learning?”

Nonetheless, the result of the pandemic has implied the importance of technology in transforming how we teach and learn, at the same time highlighting that there is room for improvement, especially for internet connectivity.

The first wave of Covid-19 infection started on Jan 24, with the identification of 22 cases, of which 12 had a travel history to affected countries and regions, eight cases were close contacts and two were from a humanitarian mission.

On Jan 30, the Education Ministry (MoE) had postponed the registration of students from Wuhan, China and its surrounding areas at all educational institutions in the country.

As the second wave hit the country on Feb 27, MoE had directed the postponement of all large gatherings such as sports programmes and co-curricular activities in all schools across the country, with effect from March 13.

The government later imposed the Movement Control Order (MCO) nationwide on March 18 leading to the closure of all pre-schools, government and private schools including daily schools, residential schools, international schools, tahfiz centres and other primary, secondary and pre-university institutions as well as colleges and institutions of higher learning.

With all schools shut down, teachers were advised to make online teaching the way forward, besides determining the best teaching and learning methods based on the constraints and situations faced by students at home during the MCO.

However, there were limitations pertaining to online teaching and home-based learning as the findings of an MoE survey, involving 670,000 parents and about 900,000 pupils showed that only six per cent of students had personal computers, tablets (5.76%), laptops (9%) and smartphones (46%), while 36.9% of students do not have as many devices.

Senator Dr Radzi Jidin, who headed the ministry starting March 10, said it was important for teachers to take into account the constraints faced by students at home in determining the methods to be used to implement the teaching and learning process at home.

As lockdowns ease and daily Covid-19 cases were going down, after months of ‘school holidays’, secondary schools across the country finally reopened their doors on June 24 for students sitting for public examinations this year, namely Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) and equivalent examinations.

Form One to Form Four and Remove Class students, as well as Standard Five and Six pupils, returned to school starting July 15, while Standard One to Four pupils on July 22.

The government has also decided to move the dates for SPM, SVM and STAM to Feb 22, 2021; while STPM would be held on March 8, 2021. The Form Three Assessment (PT3) and Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), as well as Kafa Class Assessment Test (UPKK) examinations, have been cancelled this year.

Unfortunately, concerned parents felt the decision was made in a rush and they feared Covid-19 cases would spike once schools reopened.

Parents’ nightmare turned reality. As the third wave of Covid-19 hit the country in late September after Sabah election, the government abruptly announced on Nov 8 (Sunday) that schools and vocational colleges would close starting the next day (Nov 9) until the end of the 2020 academic calendar year.

As for the tertiary education students both in private and public institutions, the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) announced that all lectures must be conducted purely online, with no face-to-face lessons allowed, starting May 27 until Dec 31.

The announcement has led university students to grasp on online learning as the new normal, hence, many of them requested for the fees to be reduced, as they no longer fully utilising the university facilities.

Taking into consideration the feedbacks and complaints from students and parents whose household income was badly affected by the pandemic, Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad announced the hostel and service fees at all public universities for the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic session had been reduced by up to 15%.

The move involved a total allocation of RM72 million, of which RM20 million was approved by the Ministry of Finance and the other RM52 million will be from the internal allocation of the universities.

For 2020, the education sector in Malaysia has seen a paradigm shift in teaching and learning process and shaping the community for the new normal, with the technology dependence has massively increased, not just for students, but also for lecturers, teachers and all of the people involved in the institution.

The question is, are we totally ready for it? –

Do Learning Apps Actually Help You Learn Better?

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with new information, it can be hard to keep up. Whether you’re trying to learn a new language, or just studying for an upcoming exam, there are countless apps and programs out there that claim to help you learn better. But do they actually work? In this blog post, we will explore the evidence for and against learning apps. We will also provide some tips on how to pick the right app for you and your needs.

The Popularity Of Learning Apps

There are a lot of different learning apps available on the market today. Some of them are free, while others you have to pay for. But do they actually help you learn better?

Many people believe that learning apps can be helpful. They can provide you with a way to review material that you’re struggling with and can give you extra practice with things that you find difficult. Additionally, some learning apps also offer games and other activities that can make learning more fun.

However, there is also some research that suggests that learning apps might not be as effective as we think. One study found that students who used a learning app performed no better on tests than students who didn’t use the app. So, it’s important to consider whether or not an app is actually going to be helpful before spending money on it or downloading it.

If you decide to use a learning app, there are a few things to keep in mind. Make sure to choose an app that is appropriate for your level of learning. If you’re a beginner, look for an app with basic material. If you’re more advanced, look for an app with challenging material. Additionally, it’s important to find an app that you will actually use. There’s no point in downloading an app if you never open it!

Is It Effective?

There is no one definitive answer to whether or not learning apps actually help you learn better. Some students and educators may find them helpful as supplemental resources, while others may find that they interfere with more traditional forms of learning.

There are a few potential benefits of using learning apps that should be considered. First, they can provide structure and organisation for learners who struggle with self-regulation. Additionally, they can offer engaging and interactive content that may hold attention better than a textbook or lecture. Finally, they can be customised to meet the individual needs of each learner.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to using learning apps. They can be expensive, and some students may not have access to the technology required to use them. Additionally, they can be addictive and may cause students to spend more time on their devices than interacting with peers or completing other tasks.

Ultimately, whether or not learning apps actually help you learn better is up to the individual learner. Some students may find them helpful, while others may prefer more traditional methods of instruction.

What Kind Of Learning Apps Should You Choose?

When choosing learning apps, it is important to consider the type of learner you are. Some people learn best by listening to audio recordings, others by reading texts, and others by watching videos. There are also different types of learning apps for different subjects. For example, there are apps that focus on teaching maths, science, history, or language arts.If you are not sure what type of learner you are, there are assessment tests that can help you determine your learning style. Once you know your learning style, you can choose an app that caters to your needs. For example, if you are a visual learner, you might want an app that has lots of pictures and diagrams.
Pandai
 has
beautifully designed questions
 to help you get started with your learning.

There are also apps that allow you to customise your learning experience. For instance, you can choose the pace at which you want to learn and the topics that you want to focus on. This can be helpful if you only have limited time for studying or if there are specific topics that you need to brush up on.

Finally, make sure to choose an app that is compatible with your devices and operating system. There is no point in downloading an app if it will not work on your phone or tablet.

There are many great learning apps available, so take some time to explore your options and find the ones that work best for you. With the right learning app, you can improve your grades, learn more about the world around you, and even have some fun while doing it!

Learning Apps Influence On Academic Performance

There is a lot of debate surrounding the effectiveness of learning apps. Some argue that they are helpful and can improve academic performance, while others claim that they are ineffective and can even hinder learning.

The key seems to be in finding the right app for the task at hand. For example, an app that helps you
memorise vocabulary words
 is likely to be more effective than an app that simply provides information about a topic. Similarly, an app that provides practice problems and feedback is likely to be more effective than an app that simply allows you to read about a topic.Thus, it seems that whether or not a learning app actually helps you learn better depends on the specific features of the app and h
ow well it aligns with your learning goals
. If you’re looking for a learning app to help you improve your academic performance, be sure to choose one with features that are aligned with your goals and that has been shown to be effective in research studies.

Benefits Of Learning Apps On Attention And Focus

There are a lot of different opinions out there about whether or not learning apps actually help you learn better. Some people believe that they do, while others think that they might just be a waste of time.

So, if you’re looking for a way to improve your attention and focus, using learning apps might be a good option for you. Just make sure to choose an app that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

The Effect Of Learning Apps On Motivation And Engagement

There is a lot of debate surrounding the effectiveness of learning apps. Some people argue that they are helpful and can improve your understanding of a concept. Others say that they are a waste of time and do not actually help you learn better. However, there is some evidence to suggest that learning apps can have a positive effect on motivation and engagement.

One study found that students who used educational apps were more engaged in their studies than those who did not use them
. The study also found that the students who used apps had a higher level of intrinsic motivation, which means they were more likely to continue using the app even when it was no longer required for their course.

Another study looked at the effect of game-based learning on motivation and engagement
. The study found that students who played educational games were more likely to be intrinsically motivated and engaged in their studies than those who did not play games. This suggests that learning apps have the potential to improve motivation and engagement.

Overall, the evidence suggests that learning apps can have a positive effect on motivation and engagement. However, it is important to remember that each person is different and what works for one person may not work for another. If you are struggling with motivation or engagement, it is worth trying out some different learning apps to see if they can help you.

Do You Really Need Learning Apps?

When it comes to learning apps, there is no one definitive answer. Some students find that they help them learn better, while others find that they do not see a significant difference in their learning when using apps. Ultimately, it is up to the individual student to decide whether or not they think learning apps will be helpful for them.
However, we definitely recommend
Pandai
 as it was designed by teachers and educational practitioner to improve learning.

There are a few things to keep in mind when deciding if learning apps are right for you. First, consider what type of learner you are. If you are someone who struggles to focus on one task at a time, an app that allows you to break down your studies into smaller chunks may be helpful. Additionally, take into account how much time you have to dedicate to using the app. If you only have a few minutes here and there, an app that requires a lot of time investment may not be the best fit.

Finally, remember that there is no shame in trying out an app and then deciding it’s not for you. Learning is personal, and what works for one person might not work for another. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you find a learning method – including apps – that work best for you!

Do Trial Exams Help Improve Students’ Grade?

In Malaysia, every student must take trial exams, especially the UPSR, PT3 and SPM students, as they are the crucial examinations. In a few schools, they even conducted multiple trial exams prepared for their students to ensure that their students pass the exams with flying colours.

Meanwhile, on behalf of the students, there are sighs. To them, trial exams are tiring. They have already done many exercises and assessments in the classroom, yet they still have to do trial exams. Doesn’t it add pressure to the students? They might get stressed out.

In this article, we will find out whether it is true that trial exams can help improve students’ scores in the real examination? Or is it the opposite as there are possibilities that too many exams might get them stressed out that made their focus stirred?

This finding is based on 150 Pandai students’ trial exam scores and comparing them with their scores in the real examination. These students answered the trial exam sets in Pandai prior to the real exams such as UPSRx and PT3x, which are the exams conducted by Pandai. The scores of another 150 Pandai students who took the actual exam without taking the trial exam are also being used in this finding. Both results are displayed in the bar chart below.

Figure 1. Average Score of Students with Trial Exam Preparation

Figure 2. Average Score of Students with without Trial Exam Preparation

The graph shows the average score of 150 students with trial exam preparation and 150 without trial exam preparation in the trial exam and real examination.

Based on the graph of students with trial exam preparation, the average score obtained in the trial exam is 51.2%, which is grade C and the average score in the real examination is 88.9%, which is grade A. It shows an increment of 37.7% in the score. The students ended their school happily by achieving an excellent grade

Next, the other graph shows no value for trial exam score as these students did not undertake the trial exam. In the real examination, the students manage to get an average score of 70.1%, which is grade B. Hmm, it is unlikely that students are satisfied with obtaining grade B, especially when it is already near C.

For better illustration, let us see the line graph in figure 3 below.

Figure 3. Summarized Average Score of Students with Trial Exam Preparation and without Trial Exam Preparation

The line graph shows a summarized version of the bar graphs. From the chart, we can clearly see the difference in the real examinations score of both groups. The students who took the trial exam preparation had a better score in the actual examination than those who took the actual exam without trial exam preparation. The difference of 18.8 percentage points in the real examination score between the two groups showed that trial exams impacted the students’ performance in real examinations.

Thus, with these results, we can conclude that trial exams do help improve students’ grades.

Before we end this discussion, here is some advice. The trial exam is like a final rehearsal before the big show. Your test results are powerful indicators of how you can perform the final examinations, as they are often less than three months from the actual examinations. Defining your performance for each subject will allow you to prepare your final examinations for a better and more effective study plan. Don’t get upset if you haven’t scored well! At least now you know which topics you are weak at, and it enables you to concentrate more on those specific topics. You still have time to resolve and learn from your mistakes. Well, good work if you scored! You now generally know what you can do for these subjects to maintain or even improve.

Last but not least, Gosling, a professor from the University of Texas, said, “Repeated testing is a powerful practice that directly enhances learning and thinking skills, and it can be especially helpful to students who start off with a weaker academic background.”

So now you know why your school loves conducting a lot of assessments and exams. It’s none other for the success of their beloved students.

Eye care tips for online learning in PdPR Era!

Online learning can mean staring at screens all day long. Plus, it can lead longtime screen-gazers to experience dry eyes, double vision, blurred vision, and more. Other symptoms go beyond just your eyes—they include neck pain, shoulder pain, and mild to debilitating headaches.😵💫

To maintain your eyesight and keep your eyes healthy during and beyond this period of online learning, try these 9 simple tips 🌟:

1. Stick to the 20-20-20 rule

Dr. Jeff Anshel came up with the idea and tells us to: Take breaks from screen use every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet (6 meters) away & look at it for 20 seconds. 👩💻👨💻

*To add more of an incentive, consider tacking a poster of your favorite idol or Kpop superstar (yay, BTS) on a distant wall.😜

2. Minimize display glare

If you can, position your screen to prevent glare; for example, try to angle it away from the window. Or, if you have fluorescent lights above you, you may find that they’ve been causing overhead glare. Alternatively, an anti-glare screen/matte screen protector can help you banish glare to some distant land.

3. Adjust screen display

Ensure that your screen is in good contrast. For example, if your screen is too bright if the white background on it resembles a source of light itself, and is too dim if it looks greyish. Your eyes will experience more strain when the contrast between the text and the background is very jarring (dark text on light is a safe bet).

4. Exercise

Relieve and move your eye muscles by Rolling your eyes, closing and cupping your eyes, like that “See-No-Evil Monkey”/Mizaru emoji and Blinking 😝

5. Healthify your diet

What you eat plays a starring role in the play,
Me, My Eyes, and I.
 Indeed, I suggest infusing your diet with fish, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and, of course, water! Having such a diet arms you with the diverse nutrients you need to keep your eyes healthy.🥦🍗🍳🍒🍓

6. And, of course, sleep

What do I say here… One of the key ways that your eyes get the rest they deserve is when they’re, like, closed and relieved from light sources. So, get your 7-9 hours of sleep every night!😴

While you’re studying here, definitely make use of these (where necessary).

Whether you’re completing assignment or having class with teacher, remind yourself to pause and recall “One…or two, three…or four…” of these tips, and give your eyes a quick rest! 🤤


Fahami tekanan perasaan dalam kalangan pelajar

Kebelakangan ini, terdapat banyak laporan mengenai masalah tekanan perasaan dalam kalangan pelajar susulan pelaksanaan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah (PdPR).

Ada yang melihatnya sebagai hal remeh namun sebenarnya masalah tekanan perasaan adalah persoalan serius dan tidak benar untuk mengatakan ia sengaja diada-adakan atau mengada-ada.

Berdasarkan data dan analisis,
tekanan perasaan atau tekanan hidup itu wujud dan perlu diberi perhatian
. Ramai dalam kalangan individu yang berhadapan dengan masalah sebegini lebih cenderung membunuh diri berbanding berusaha mengatasinya. Keadaan ini menjelaskan mengapa bilangan kes membunuh diri adalah tinggi dalam kalangan remaja.

Hal ini juga dianggap sebagai jalan keluar kerana tekanan perasaan bukanlah perkara ringan yang mampu dilalui oleh seseorang. Ia menguasai minda dan bagi sebilangan individu keadaan itu amat sukar untuk dilalui secara bersendirian.

Bagaimanapun, masalah ini boleh ditangani dengan rawatan pakar. Ia boleh diurus dengan panduan yang betul daripada pakar psikologi selain menerusi terapi yang diberikan secara profesional.

Dalam persoalan PdPR, amat mudah untuk difahami mengapa ia menjadi beban psikologi kepada sesetengah murid. Ia tentunya disebabkan pembelajaran menerusi PdPR adalah perkara baharu. Mereka perlu berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran antaranya
belajar sendiri tanpa bantuan guru
 di depan mereka atau rakan sekelas seperti kebiasaannya.
Pergerakan mereka juga terbatas
 kerana perlu duduk di hadapan komputer dari pagi hingga petang untuk sesi pembelajaran. Keadaan ini memberi tekanan kerana
rasa ‘terkurung’ dan tidak bebas bergerak.

Selain itu ada sesetengahnya datang daripada
keluarga yang kurang berkemampuan
.
Ketiadaan peranti atau perlu berkongsi dengan adik beradik lain
 juga sebenarnya mendatangkan cabaran dan tekanan tersendiri.

Mungkin ada segelintir ahli masyarakat yang lebih tua merasakan permasalahan tekanan sebegitu hal biasa dan generasi hari ini kelihatan lebih lemah atau lembik berbanding mereka ketika berada dalam lingkungan usia serupa. Justeru tanggapan sedemikian mencetuskan pelbagai reaksi dan istilah seperti
 ‘generasi jeli’.
 Sebenarnya, sebagai rakyat yang bertanggungjawab anggapan yang sebegitu tidak molek untuk dibuat kerana ia memberi kesan kepada mereka.

Namun, dari satu segi pandangan sedemikian menjelaskan bahawasanya masyarakat Malaysia kurang pengetahuan atau kesedaran mengenai permasalahan psikologi sebegini. Jika seseorang itu tahu akan apa yang dihadapi individu yang tertekan dengan masalah hidup, pasti ungkapan seperti generasi jeli ini tidak muncul.

Sebenarnya, masalah tekanan hidup ini sudah ada sejak sekian lamanya dalam masyarakat tetapi ia tidak diendahkan atau kita tidak menyedari mengenai kewujudannya.

Keadaan sedemikian mungkin disebabkan mereka yang berhadapan dengan masalah begini tidak mendapat diagnosis daripada pakar. Selain itu, ilmu mengenai kesihatan mental yang dicanangkan kini dan dulu amat berbeza
menyebabkan permasalahan kesihatan mental lebih banyak dikesan ketika ini.

Justeru dalam konteks inilah kita tidak seharusnya mudah menyebut tekanan perasaan terjadi kerana generasi muda masa kini ‘lembik’ atau lemah. Ini kerana kita seharusnya menyedari PdPR itu adalah pembelajaran dalam talian yang belum dilaksanakan secara serius sebelum ini. Justeru memang terdapat potensi untuk seseorang itu
berhadapan dengan gangguan mental jika mereka tidak berinteraksi dengan manusia atau rakan dalam tempoh yang lama.

Dalam hal ini, pihak sekolah juga harus berusaha memahami situasi yang dihadapi oleh semua pelajar.
Pasti sahaja dalam sejumlah pelajar yang mengikuti PdPR terdapat murid yang tidak mempunyai kemudahan yang sepatutnya untuk mengikuti pembelajaran dalam talian.
 Selain peranti,
masalah seperti capaian internet, ruang belajar yang selesa atau keadaan keluarga yang berantakan
 turut menyumbang kepada ketidakupayaan mereka mengikuti pembelajaran dalam talian. Faktor itulah kemudiannya berpotensi untuk menjadi penyebab kepada tekanan.

Mungkin, PdPR bukanlah halangan untuk terus belajar bagi sekumpulan murid tetapi bagi kelompok yang lain mereka berpotensi berhadapan masalah tekanan perasaan.

Garis Panduan Pengurusan dan Pengoperasian Sekolah 4.0 diumum bulan ini￼

KOTA BHARU: Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM) dijangka membentangkan Garis Panduan Pengurusan dan Pengoperasian Sekolah 4.0 bulan ini.

Garis panduan berkenaan termasuk aktiviti kokurikulum dibenarkan antara sekolah berbanding sebelum ini hanya berlangsung dalam sekolah, selain penggunaan kantin.

Menteri Kanan Pendidikan, Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin, berkata pihaknya kini di peringkat akhir perbincangan sebelum garis panduan terbabit diumumkan.

“Untuk pengoperasian sekolah ini, kita ada prosedur operasi standard (SOP) tertentu. Kita kini dalam peringkat akhir untuk memuktamadkan Garis Panduan Pengurusan dan Pengoperasian Sekolah 4.0.

“Mengambil kira peralihan negara ke fasa endemik, beberapa perincian yang sedang dalam perbincangan dengan Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) bagi memastikan garis panduan yang kita siapkan ini mengambil pandangan dari sudut kesihatan.

“Garis panduan itu juga meliputi aktiviti kokurikulum antara sekolah dibenarkan berbanding sebelum ini aktiviti itu hanya berlangsung di dalam sekolah,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas meninjau pengoperasian sekolah tanpa penggiliran di Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Seri Ketereh, di sini, hari ini.

Pada masa sama, Radzi berkata, bagi pelajar yang tinggal di asrama dan mempunyai kontak rapat kepada pesakit positif COVID-19 namun tidak bergejala, mereka tidak perlu lagi menjalani kuarantin kendiri dan boleh hadir ke kelas seperti biasa.

“Kita harap semua pihak termasuk guru, ibu bapa dan pelajar sekolah memainkan peranan supaya sentiasa mematuhi segala SOP yang ditetapkan,” katanya.

Pada hari ini, seramai 130,177 murid dan pelajar yang sebelum ini terbabit dengan sistem penggiliran kembali hadir ke sekolah tanpa sistem berkenaan. – Nor Fazlina Abdul Rahim, Berita Harian

Guru semakin cekap, anak pula dah lebih fahami PdPR

Cheras: “Guru kini lebih cekap memberikan tugasan serta mengadakan kelas
online
 (dalam talian).

“Anak saya juga kini lebih memahami sesi Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah (PdPR) dan lebih selesa,” kata suri rumah, Halily Kamaruzaman, 37.

Halily memberi reaksi itu bagi mengulas mengenai sesi persekolahan yang dibuka semula menerusi sesi PdPR selepas cuti Aidilfitri.

Menurutnya, PdPR kali ini lebih sistematik memandangkan pihak sekolah, guru, murid dan ibu bapa sudah biasa dengan situasi pendidikan norma baharu itu.

Dia yang juga menetap di Cheras Jaya, di sini, turut mengakui lebih mudah memantau PdPR ketiga-ketiga anaknya yang masing-masing berusia 11, 13 dan 15 tahun berbanding ketika awal pelaksanaan PdPR.

“Walaupun Hari Raya masih dirasai, kami menyambutnya sederhana dengan hanya duduk di rumah dan anak juga dilihat tiada masalah memasuki sesi PdPR seawal kelas, 8 pagi tadi,” katanya ketika ditemui di kediamannya, hari ini.

Halily berkata, ibu bapa yang bekerja pastinya mempunyai cabaran tertentu terutama dari segi pembahagian masa dalam memantau proses PdPR anak mereka.

“Sudah masanya ibu bapa celik dengan teknologi dan digital serta perlu yakin dengan kebolehan anak dalam memahami proses PdPR itu sendiri.

“PdPR bukan lagi baharu, ia sudah lama diperkenalkan dan seharusnya anak kini sudah memahaminya manakala ibu bapa hanya tinggal pantau sahaja,” katanya.

Katanya, keluarganya tidak mempunyai masalah dari segi capaian internet mahupun keperluan teknologi seperti komputer riba dan telefon bimbit.

“Namun, nasib setiap keluarga berbeza terutama golongan B40 dan mereka yang tinggal di luar bandar.

“Peranan pihak sekolah penting dalam memastikan murid golongan ini tidak tercicir di samping sokongan serta bantuan daripada kerajaan,” katanya.

Kongsinya, dia turut tampil dengan inisiatif sendiri dengan melanggan modul e-pembelajaran di portal ITTV bagi membolehkan anaknya memahami lebih baik dalam subjek tertentu.

Sementara itu, pelajar Tingkatan 3 Sekolah Agama Menengah Muhammadiah, Sabak Bernam, Selangor, Nur Aisyah Hasnan berkata, walaupun dia lebih suka sesi pembelajaran diadakan secara bersemuka, dia tetap memulakan PdPR di rumah seperti biasa hari ini.

“Hanya sebulan dapat jumpa kawan dan guru di sekolah. Belajar secara bersemuka di sekolah lebih seronok berbanding di rumah.

“Bagaimanapun, saya memahami ia dilaksanakan kerana Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dan akan terus mengikuti kelas PdPR selama dua minggu ini sebelum cuti penggal nanti,” katanya ketika dihubungi.

Nur Aisyah yang menetap di Petaling Jaya turut memulakan sesi PdPR hari ini di kediamannya secara kelas dalam talian bermula seawal 8 pagi tadi.

Sesi pembelajaran PdPR bermula hari ini sehingga 28 Mei bagi sekolah kumpulan B (sekolah-sekolah di Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Pahang, Sabah, Sarawak, Kuala Lumpur, Labuan dan Putrajaya).

Bagi sekolah kumpulan A, (sekolah-sekolah di Johor, Kedah, Kelantan dan Terengganu) sesi pembelajaran itu telah bermula pada Ahad sehingga 27 Mei.

Terdahulu, Menteri Kanan (Pendidikan), Senator Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin memaklumkan selepas tempoh PdPR itu, murid dan pelajar akan menyambung cuti penggal yang bermula 28 Mei sehingga 12 Jun bagi sekolah kumpulan A dan 29 Mei sehingga 13 Jun bagi sekolah kumpulan B. –

Guru sudah bersedia laksana PdPR

SHAH ALAM – Guru-guru sentiasa bersedia melaksanakan pengajaran dan pembelajaran di rumah (PdPR) sekiranya berlaku gelombang keempat kes Covid-19.
Presiden Kesatuan Perkhidmatan Perguruan Kebangsaan Semenanjung Malaysia (NUTP), Aminuddin Awang berkata, aspek kesihatan dan keselamatan perlu dilihat terlebih dahulu bagi memastikan peningkatan kluster dalam sektor pendidikan dapat dikurangkan.

Gambar dari Berita Harian

“Sekarang, kita perlu lihat kepada aspek keselamatan dan kesihatan dulu, itu yang kita perlu pentingkan manakala pendidikan nombor dua.
“Tidak ada kepentingan kalau sekolah dibuka, tetapi guru berada dalam kerisauan dan terdedah dengan risiko sehingga menjejas kerja pengajaran mereka.

“Sehinggakan kadang-kadang kita pun tidak tahu murid-murid dari mana, siapa kontak rapat dia, itu yang menjadi keutamaan, barulah kita fikir tentang pendidikan,” katanya ketika dihubungi Sinar Harian pada Isnin.

Mengulas mengenai kelemahan pelaksanaan PdPR, Aminuddin mengakui masalah peranti dan capaian internet yang dialami pelajar pada awal pelaksanaan PdPR menjadi kebimbangan para guru.

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata, kekurangan itu dapat diatasi apabila kerajaan dijangka mengumumkan pemberian telefon pintar dan capaian internet kepada 2.7 juta keluarga berpendapatan rendah (B40) pada Mei ini.

Jelasnya, pemberian bantuan tersebut adalah hasil kerjasama Yayasan YTL dan NUTP bagi membolehkan pelajar belajar dari rumah.

“Saya juga melihat sudah ada usaha kerajaan dalam memastikan pelajar khususnya pelajar B40 ini tidak ketinggalan dalam pelajaran.

“Usaha itu dari masa ke masa akan membolehkan peningkatan pemilikan peranti dan capaian internet yang lebih baik berbanding tahun lepas,” ujarnya.

Untuk rekod, pada Januari lalu, Malaysia telah melaksanakan PdPR di seluruh negara dalam membendung penularan Covid-19 sekali gus tidak mahu pelajar tercicir dalam sukatan pelajaran mereka. –

Holidays are for Resting and Recharging!

What have you got planned for the week-long mid-term break? I bet it has become a tad bit hard to decide on school holiday activities since eating out, watching movies at the cinema, and visiting museums are ruled out (at least for now).

Don’t worry! As usual, the Pandai Team is always here to back you up, even during breaks and rest time. We believe that pacing yourself is important in achieving quality results for your goals!

So, read ahead. Here are 5-holiday activity suggestions for you to Rest & Recharge before school starts again.

1. Put that phone away!

2. Step out of your normal routine

3. Get some fresh air and sunlight!

4. Get your creative gears going

As proven in our previous
Colouring Contest
, you guys are
stinking talented
!! This school holiday is the perfect excuse to get more of those creative juices flowing. It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to paint and draw, okay! You could write, sculpt, play music, do some DIY, cook, do some gardening…the list goes on!

Embracing your imaginative side allows you to be more critical and attentive to details. In other words, it makes your brain healthier and stronger (of course)! Not to mention, it keeps our mental health in check and helps us appreciate ourselves more. Besides, ain’t it simply just a lot of fun? And that’s what taking a break is all about, right.😉

5. Choose quality over quantity

I know we said no book-talk but sometimes, it’s just hard to get away from – even during school holidays. I mean, how can you dismiss study time when the big exams are just around the corner? Plus, like it or not, that pile of homework isn’t going to complete itself. The trick is simple:
“study smart, not study hard”.

We recommend getting your homework out of the way early so that you can enjoy the rest of your holidays worry-free. And if you feel like doing more, just come back to Pandai as we’ve made revisions to be easy breezy, lemon squeezy. One gamified quiz a day is enough for a quality study session over the holidays.

All good now? Great! Enjoy your holidays! 😎

How To Ensure Your Kids Actually Enjoy Learning English?

There are a lot of reasons why learning English is important for children. But let’s be honest, most kids don’t care about learning English. They just want to have fun. So how do you ensure that your kids actually enjoy learning English? This is a blog that will help make learning English more fun for kids and help them learn at the same time.

Why English is Important to Children

There are many reasons why English is important to children. For one, it is the language of instruction in most schools around the world. This means that children who want to succeed in school need to be proficient in English. Additionally, English is the lingua franca of international business and commerce, so children who want to have successful careers need to be able to communicate effectively in English. Furthermore, with the rise of the internet and social media, much of the content that is consumed by children and teenagers are in English. Therefore, being able to understand and engage with this content is essential for modern children.

Finally, as English becomes increasingly prevalent as a global language, it is important for children to be exposed to it early on so that they can become comfortable using it.

Fun with English: games, songs, stories

When it comes to learning English, there’s no need to be bored! There are tons of fun ways to incorporate the language into everyday life, through games, songs, and stories.

One great way to make learning English fun is by playing games. There are all sorts of games out there that can help with English skills, from word games to pronunciation games to grammar games. And the best part is, they’re all actually fun to play!

For games, try something like Hangman or I Spy. Both are classic games that can be easily played in English. For songs, try teaching your kids some classic nursery rhymes or children’s songs. And for stories, there are a ton of great resources out there specifically designed for teaching English through stories. Whatever you do, make sure your kids are having fun while they learn! Songs are another great way to have fun while learning English. There are endless songs out there in English, from nursery rhymes to pop songs, that can help with everything from vocabulary to pronunciation. And just like with games, singing along is actually enjoyable!

Finally, stories are a great way to both learn about the language and have fun at the same time. Whether it’s reading bedtime stories in English or listening to audiobooks, stories provide a context for learning new words and phrases. Plus, they’re usually pretty entertaining too!

Tips for making English learning fun for kids

Start with the basics
 – Teach your kids the alphabet, numbers, and simple words first. This will help them feel more confident as they move on to more difficult concepts.

Make it interactive
 – Use games, songs, and other fun activities to help your kids engage with the material.

Encourage participation
 – Get your kids involved in conversations and have them practice their English skills as often as possible.

Reward progress
 – Celebrate your kids’ accomplishments and give them positive reinforcement to keep them motivated.

Be patient
 – Learning a new language can be tough, so be patient with your kids and yourself!

Incorporate music and movement
 – Songs and rhymes are a great way to help kids learn new vocabulary and concepts. And getting them up and moving around will keep them engaged and interested.

Encourage communication
 – Provide opportunities for your kids to practice speaking English, whether it’s with you, a friend, or a family member. The more they use the language, the better they’ll become at it.

Keep it positive
 – Learning should be enjoyable for your kids, so make sure to create a positive environment where they feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes

Encouragement: praise, rewards, motivation

One of the best ways to encourage your kids to enjoy learning English is to praise their efforts, no matter how small. Every time they correctly say a word or use a new sentence structure, tell them how proud you are of them. This positive reinforcement will motivate them to continue trying new things. This is backed by study, especially if you do it in a way that is specific. For example, if your child says a sentence correctly, don’t just say “Great job!” Instead, say “That was a great sentence! You used the correct verb tense and you pronounced all the words perfectly!”

You can also offer rewards for good behavior or learning progress. This doesn’t have to be something big – even a simple sticker chart can work wonders. Just make sure the rewards are something your kids will actually want. Learning a second language is tough, so it’s important to be patient with your kids as they learn English. They will make mistakes, and that’s okay! Just help them understand their mistakes so they can avoid making them again in the future.

If you get frustrated or angry when they make a mistake, they will quickly lose motivation and become discouraged. So instead of getting upset, try to stay calm and be understanding. If you need help staying patient, try counting to 10 or 20 before responding to their mistakes. Kids learn best when they’re having fun, so try to make your English lessons enjoyable. If they’re bored or not engaged, they won’t be motivated to learn.

There are a number of ways to make learning English fun, such as playing games, singing songs, or watching educational videos. You can also try incorporating their interests into your lessons. For example, if they love animals, you could teach them English words for different animals.

The most important thing is to be creative and have patience. With a little effort, you can help your kids enjoy learning English!

Another way to encourage your kids is to offer rewards for their efforts. This could be something as simple as allowing them extra screen time if they complete their English homework without complaint. Whatever you choose, make sure the rewards are realistic and attainable so that your kids stay motivated.

Finally, remember that every child is different and will respond to different forms of encouragement. Some may need more praise than others, while some may respond better to tangible rewards. Pay attention to what works for your child and adjust your approach accordingly. With a little bit of effort, you can ensure that your kids actually enjoy learning English!

Real life: using English in everyday life

Try to incorporate the language into everyday life as much as possible. This means speaking English at home as often as possible, reading English books together, and watching English movies and TV shows together.

Additionally, you can take advantage of opportunities to travel to English-speaking countries or visit English-speaking attractions in your own city. By making English a part of your daily routine, your kids will be more likely to enjoy learning the language and will be less likely to view it as a chore.

The best way to learn a new language is to be immersed in it as much as possible. This means listening to English being spoken around you, reading it, writing it, and speaking it yourself as often as possible.

While it may not be possible to live in an English-speaking country, there are still many ways to immerse yourself in the language. Try to find English-language movies, TV shows, youtube channels, books, and music that you and your family can enjoy together. You can also look for opportunities to practice speaking English with native speakers.

Conclusion: the benefits of learning English

There are many benefits to learning English, both in the short and long term. In the short term, English can help your child communicate better with their peers, improve their grades in school, and feel more confident in their abilities. In the long term, English can open up opportunities for higher education and career advancement.

Beyond the obvious advantages, learning English also has some hidden benefits. For example, English is the language of science, so by learning English your child will have a better foundation for understanding science concepts. Additionally, English is a global language and fluency can help your child connect with people from all over the world.

So how can you ensure that your child actually enjoys learning English? The key is to make it fun! There are a variety of ways to do this, from incorporating games into lessons to watching English-language movies together. Whatever you do, just make sure that your child is actively engaged in the process and enjoying themselves.

How to Motivate Students to Learn better in Classroom – Tutor Edition!

As we all know, teachers spend years of hard work to become experts in their content areas. They endure hours of professional development so students are well-versed in all the current educational pedagogy and use the best practices in the classroom. Teachers also develop assessments for students so that they can track their progress. With the help of Pandai, it can ease their burden as all chapters, practices, and textbooks are well equipped not only for them but for the students too!

However, why there are students that are still unmotivated to learn?

Even with the perfect lesson plan in place, an unmotivated student will not learn. A great teacher recognizes that student motivation is necessary for success in learning and that teachers are in the perfect position to improve student motivation. Here are some strategies that can be used in the classroom to help motivate students:

Cr; Pinterest

1. Promote a
growth mindset over a
fixed mindset.

A fixed mindset suggests that people are born with or without certain abilities that cannot be changed. Fixed mindset learners try to prove themselves and will often shy away from challenges because they do not want to appear to be struggling. A growth mindset learner, on the other hand, believes that abilities and talents can be cultivated and improved through hard work. Growth mindset students enjoy a challenge and see struggles and failures as necessary parts of growth. Learners with a growth mindset are certainly more motivated to work hard.

How do we foster a growth mindset in the classroom?

One of the most powerful elements of feedback for our learners is to praise them. Praise for their abilities and efforts reinforces the fixed mindset that they have the power to improve their academic success. We are all learners and should be encouraged as such.

“I can tell that you have been practicing your reading
”

“The practice is paying off on your time’s tables”

Throughout a learning cycle, teachers assess student progress by incorporating formative and summative assessments. Some formative assessments are a
thumbs up/thumbs down
 check for understanding, a quiz in small groups, or an exit slip at the end of a lesson. This cycle of learning will improve results on a later summative assessment.

As a teacher, they can model the growth mindset. Have courage and ask students for feedback about your teaching and be willing to make necessary changes. Be dedicated and work hard for students and share how hard work and dedication translate to success and growth. This feedback shows that we, too, are learners. It also invites the students to continue on the learning journey alongside us. Students are always willing to work hard for a teacher that is reciprocating that hard work.

Cr; Dreamstime

2. Develop meaningful and respectful relationships with your students.

If we are going to truly inspire and motivate all of our students, teachers should know each of them on a personal level. We need to know their interests and hobbies, who they hang out with, their family situations, and what gets them excited. Each student is going to require different motivational strategies, and we have to know them to be able to predict what strategies might work.

In order to begin that “knowing,” try allowing for five minutes where students may share
“Good News
” session. This is an opportunity for us to learn about the students as people and to let them know that we care about them individually. This also provides an avenue for teachers to share some details about their lives outside of school. When teachers are willing to share personally and become vulnerable, students are more likely to do the same. When learners see one another as whole people, they are more willing to take risks and ask the questions they need to ask in order to obtain success.

3. Grow a community of learners in your classroom.

Students need a classroom environment that is safe, where they are willing to take risks and struggle. To achieve this goal, the students and teacher must work together towards common collective goals. Students must be willing to work with and assist other students in class. The struggle should be acceptable and encouraged as a part of the learning process.

Cr: Clipart World

Traditional teaching consists of teachers lecturing and learners taking notes, followed by the learners doing independent work to check for understanding. Transforming this outdated model to collaborative group work should be the activity between the teacher’s learning and independent work. This is the time when students can digest information and ask questions collectively. Learners participate in what could be considered the
“problem solving”
 phase of their development with new ideas, and together they come to new learnings.

Also, student work should be proudly displayed throughout the classroom. This sends a message to students that they are active participants in creating knowledge in the classroom. Additionally, teachers can use language that promotes the community of learners – including the teacher – rather than a room full of individual learners.

4. Establish high expectations and establish clear goals.

Setting high expectations and supporting students as they struggle allows learners to rise to meet those expectations. When expectations are transparent, students know where their learning is headed and are motivated to get there because it seems possible: the path is visible. Working towards daily, weekly, and yearly goals gives students a purpose and meaning for the hard work that they do.

What teachers can do is establish the “
goal of the day
” at the start of the lesson gives students a purpose for their learning. Students can also formatively assess themselves at the end of each lesson by checking to be sure they have met the learning goals. If we expect students to interact in a certain way together, we need to teach them how and hold them accountable. Teachers need to model it and expect it. Once the routines to support expectations are established and clear to the learning community, learning becomes the most important action in the classroom.

5. Be inspirational.

Inspirational teachers represent success to their students. Through their triumphs, students can learn what success looks like and go after it. Once our students decide that they want success, they pay close attention to the behaviors and choices, and even sacrifices that led us to our success. These behaviors include hard work, willingness to struggle, and the ability to learn from our mistakes. Students internalize our behaviors and strategies as a way to accomplish their own goals. We give them an opportunity to do so in our everyday routines, assignments, and encounters with them.

How to Prepare for Math Competitions: The Ultimate Guide

For many math students, competitions are the ultimate test of their abilities. It takes months of preparation to get ready for just one competition, and the stakes are high. A good performance can mean a college scholarship or a spot on a prestigious team, while a bad one can be demoralizing. This guide will show you how to prepare for math competitions, from what resources to use to what strategies to employ. Whether you’re aiming for individual or team events, we’ve got you covered. Read on to learn everything you need to know about preparing for math competitions!

Choose the right competition

When it comes to math competitions, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best way to prepare for a math competition is to choose the right competition for your child.

There are many different types of math competitions, each with its own set of rules and regulations. Some competitions are based on speed, while others focus on accuracy. Some require the use of calculators, while others forbid them.

The best way to find the right competition for your child is to ask their teacher or consult with a local math club. They will be able to advise you on which competitions are most appropriate for your child’s skill level and learning style.

Start practicing early

One of the most important things you can do to prepare for maths competitions is to start practising early. The sooner you start, the more time you will have to perfect your skills. There are a few different ways you can practise for maths competitions.

You can start by solving practice problems. This will help you get used to the types of questions that are asked on competition exams. You can find practice problems in textbooks, online, and in competition prep books.

You can also try taking practice tests under timed conditions. This will help you get used to working quickly and accurately under pressure. You can find practice tests in competition prep books or online.

Finally, it’s important to make sure you understand the format of the competition you’re preparing for. Each math competition has its own rules and regulations. Familiarising yourself with the format ahead of time will help ensure that you don’t encounter any surprises on test day.

Understand the format of the competition

In any maths competition, you will be given a set of problems to solve within a certain time frame. The format of the competition will determine how many problems you will need to solve and how much time you will have to complete them.

There are three main types of maths competitions: timed, untimed, and team. In a timed competition, you will be given a set amount of time to complete as many problems as possible. In an untimed competition, you will need to complete all of the problems in one sitting. In a team competition, you will work with a partner or group to complete the problems.

The most important thing to remember is that you need to be familiar with the format of the competition so that you can budget your time appropriately. If you are not sure about the format, ask your teacher or coach for help.

Create a study schedule

It can be difficult to find time to study for a maths competition when you have other classes and extracurricular activities, but it is important to create a study schedule and stick to it. Here are some tips:

Set aside some time each day to study.
 Even if it is just 30 minutes, this will help you keep up with the material.

Make sure to review old material as well as new material
. This will help you retain what you have learned and also prepare you for questions that may be similar to ones on previous competitions.

Create a study group with friends or classmates who are also competing
. This way you can work together on problems and bounce ideas off of each other.

Take practice tests under timed conditions
 to get used to the pressure of solving problems quickly.

By following these tips, you will be better prepared for the competition and more likely to do well.

Take practice tests

It is essential that you take practice tests under timed conditions to get a feel for the pacing of the competition and to identify any areas in which you need improvement. There are many online resources that offer practice tests, so make use of them! In addition, you can create your own practice tests by timing yourself while working through old math competition problems.

Get plenty of rest

When it comes to preparing for math competitions, one of the most important things you can do is to get plenty of rest. Not only will this help you physically, but it will also help you mentally. Make sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night leading up to the competition. If possible, try to avoid any late nights or early mornings. Also, limit your caffeine intake as much as possible. Too much caffeine can make you anxious and jittery, which is not ideal when taking a math test.

Be positive

One important mindset to have when preparing for math competitions is to be positive. This means having faith in your abilities and believing that you can succeed. It can be easy to get bogged down in the details and lose sight of the bigger picture, but staying positive will help you stay on track.

When you’re feeling positive, it’s easier to stay motivated and focused on your goals. You’ll be more likely to put in the hard work required to do well on the competition, and you’ll be better able to handle any setbacks that come your way. So believe in yourself and stay positive throughout your preparation!

Conclusion

Thank you for reading our guide on how to prepare for math competitions. We hope that you found it helpful and informative, and we wish you the best of luck in your future math competitions. Remember to stay focused and dedicated, and always give 110% effort. With hard work and determination, anything is possible!

How To Read More Effectively: 5 Tips For An Effective Reading Session

When it comes to reading, many people simply do not take the time to do it effectively. For many, reading is something they do on the weekends while they relax. In reality, however, reading can be a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals. If you want to read more effectively, consider following these five tips for an effective reading session. By doing so, you’ll be able to get the most out of your reading and achieve your goals faster.

Finding What You Want To Read

There are a few things you can do to make your reading experience more efficient. First and foremost, be honest with yourself about what you want to read and don’t try to force yourself into something that you’re not interested in. Secondly, take the time to scan through the first few pages of a book or article before diving in. This will give you an idea of what the content is about and whether or not it’s something that you’re interested in reading further. Finally, make sure you focus on what the author is trying to say rather than getting wrapped up in their writing style or focusing too much on individual words.

Setting Up Your Reading Environment

There are a few key things you can do to make your reading experience more productive and effective.

One of the most important things you can do to improve your reading experience is to set up your reading environment correctly. Make sure that you have plenty of light, comfortable seating, and a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. You may also want to invest in an electronic reader if possible, as they allow for faster page turns and more flexibility when it comes to format (for example, being able to zoom in on specific text areas).

Take Breaks Throughout The Reading Session

It is important to take regular breaks throughout the reading session so that you don’t get too overwhelmed or bogged down by the material. A good rule of thumb is to take a 20 minute break every two hours or so. This will allow you to both refresh yourself mentally and physically. Additionally, try to schedule short breaks in between longer blocks of material so that you can explore your surroundings and take some time for yourself.

Allow Yourself Time To Process The Material After Reading It

Once you finish reading an article or book, it is important to allow yourself time to process what you read. Spend some time thinking about the information presented, asking yourself questions about it, and drawing your own conclusions. Doing this will help you better understand the material and apply it in future situations.

Making Time For Reading

Reading is one of the best ways to learn new information and gain knowledge. However, reading can be time-consuming if you don’t make time for it. Here are tips for an effective reading session:

1. Establish a routine. Reading should be a part of your daily routine, not something that you do only when you have free time. Make sure to set aside at least 20 minutes each day to read, even if you only read a small amount of material.

2. Start with short reads. When you first start reading for pleasure, avoid long, complex texts or books. Instead, start with shorter pieces that are easier to understand and follow. This will help you get used to the process of reading and allow you to build up your stamina over time.

3. Set goals and incentives. If reading is becoming a drag instead of an enjoyable activity, set goals for yourself before sitting down to read. Write down what you want to accomplish while reading this piece or book, then give yourself rewards (such as food or caffeine) once you reach your goal(s). This will help keep you motivated and focused on what’s important – learning!

Breaking Up Your Reading Session

Breaking up your reading session can help you to read more effectively. Here are a few tips for breaking up your reading session:

1. Set a timer and try to read for 20 minutes. If you can’t finish the book, set the timer for another 10 minutes and try again.

2. Break up your reading session by taking a 5-minute break after every chapter or section. This will help you to stay engaged in the book and will also allow you to take in the new information.

3. Try using flashcards or a study guide while you’re reading. This will help you to remember what you’ve read and will also give you some additional practice while you’re reading.

Setting Goals For Your Reading Session

When you set goals for reading, it helps to focus and keep your reading session productive. Here are five tips for setting effective reading goals:

Set realistic goals
. It’s important to remember that you can’t read through a whole book in one sitting. Instead, try to aim for shorter reading sessions of 15-30 minutes throughout the day. This way, you’ll be able to stay engaged and learn more from each selection.

Make time for reading
. If setting unrealistic goals is problematic, then making time for reading may also prove difficult. However, by creating a dedicated reading slot on your calendar, you can ensure that the task is at least scheduled and not pushed off until later in the day or week.

Choose books based on your interests and level of comprehension
. When choosing books to read, consider what topics or genres interest you and what level of comprehension you’re comfortable with. For example, if you’re a beginner reader who would like to understand more advanced concepts in a novel, choose something more difficult than a movie reviewer newspaper article.

Taking Notes During Your Reading Session

When you read, it’s important to take copious notes. This helps you remember what you’ve read, and it can also help you better understand the material. Here are some tips for taking effective notes during your reading session:

Make a list of the main points that you want to remember from the article. Be as specific as possible, and try to include details about what was said, how it was said, and when it was said.

Write down all of the questions that come to mind as you’re reading. This will help you focus on what’s being written and help you better understand the material.

Take breaks between sections of the article so that your brain can process everything that’s been read. This will allow you to consolidate the information into long-term memory, which will make comprehension much easier in future readings sessions.

If something comes up while you’re reading that doesn’t seem to fit with what’s been written in the article, try looking up supplemental information or consulting a dictionary or encyclopaedia to get a more comprehensive understanding of the topic at hand.

Remembering What You Read

To remember what you read, use these tips:

1. Make a list of the main points you want to remember. This will help you focus on the material.

2. Use flashcards or other visual aids to help you recall key information.

3. Take notes in your journal or on paper to further remember the material.

4. Think about how you can apply what you’ve learned to your life situation. This will help ensure that the information sticks with you long-term.

Summary

Effective reading is essential for learning and retaining information. Whether you are a student trying to understand a new textbook or a businessperson trying to stay ahead of the competition, taking the time to read carefully and understand what you are reading is key.

There are several tips for effective reading that can help you maximize your learning experience. Follow these tips and you will be on your way to becoming an efficient reader:

Set reading goals
. When it comes to reading, there is no magic number of pages that must be read in one sitting. Instead, set realistic goals for how much material you want to consume each day or week. This will help keep reading sessions manageable and allow the material to be absorbed more effectively.

Pay attention to details
. When you are reading, take the time to pay attention to all of the details in the text. This includes understanding the words used, recognizing relationships between different concepts, and decoding complex sentences structure. Doing so will help you better understand the information being presented and increase your recall of what was learned.

Break up long readings into smaller chunks
. If a piece of literature is too difficult for one sitting, break it up into smaller pieces that can be easier understood over time. This will help avoid feeling overwhelmed by the material and give you more opportunities to remember what was learned.

Prioritise content based on importance
. When it comes time to read materials, prioritize those that are most important to.
