RELAXATION
Basic meditation techniques can be learned. A simple
focus on breathing, in through the nose out through the
mouth is good. Count your breaths. A visualisation of
an activity or environment that makes you happy, that
can be recalled prior to learning or assessment.
![Page 5: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DIET
Vitamins A/B/C/E help to make you alert, improve
vision, improve memory and help support proper brain
function.
Avoid starch, sugar and caffeine.
Never miss breakfast.
Eat regularly throughout the day.
![Page 6: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HYDRATION
Hydration helps to maintain optimum brain
functioning.
Always keep a bottle of water next to you.
This will prevent interruptions to your learning
session.
![Page 7: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TEMPERATURE
Be aware of the temperature in your room,
this will allow you to maintain an optimum
temperature that is not too hot and not too
cold.
![Page 8: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
OXYGEN AND LIGHT
LEVELS
Open your windows.
Keep plants in your room, they also filter out harmful
gasses from computers.
Allow as much natural light as possible, avoid fluorescent
lighting if at all possible.
![Page 9: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
REDUCE STRESS
Acknowledge the presence and importance of stress to
yourself.
Use music to relax.
Use basic meditation techniques.
Have plants in your room.
![Page 10: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MOTIVATION
The most effective motivation is intrinsic
not extrinsic.
Establish “what’s in it for me”. Set your
own learning goals. Use SMART targets.
![Page 11: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SLEEP
Sleep helps you to remember what you have
learnt during the day.
Remember, the hours before midnight are
more important than after!
![Page 12: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The room in which you
learn should be a
multisensory environment.
Displays are an essential
part of this.
They should include :
A study time table
Deadlines for
examinations or
assignments.
Motivational posters.
Key words of the
topics.
ROOM TO LEARN
![Page 13: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MUSIC TO AID LEARNING
Its not just baroque (classical) music that helps.
Remember, most students will listen to music at
home while studying.
You might even find silence unsettling!
![Page 14: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MUSIC TO AID
LEARNING-PLAN IT,
DON’T JUST PLAY IT!
Upbeat positive music before you sit down to study.
Music linked to the topic of study.
Use relaxing background music (60 beats per minute) to aid
learning.
![Page 15: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Part 1: put the learning in context.
Review learning from previous session- what do you know?
Relate learning to examination - what is in the exam?,
Make learning outcomes clear.- What do you want to know
by the end of your session?
STRUCTURING A REVISION
SESSION
![Page 16: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STRUCTURING A REVISION
SESSION
Part 2: Starter
Engage your interest, look at a picture or read an article relating to
the subject, or even visualise using the knowledge for something
important.
Try to put prior knowledge in context, how does it relate to what
you want to know?
Prepare for main task.
![Page 17: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STRUCTURING A REVISION
SESSION
Part 3: Main revision:
Learning should be multi-sensory and engage different learning
styles. Try to include many different forms of learning including,
mind maps, flash cards, association images or stories.
Work should be challenging and broken into achievable chunks, 45
mins is just about anybody's maximum focus.
![Page 18: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

BASIC MEDITATION
Sit in a comfortable position.
Close your eyes, but keep your back
straight, shoulders relaxed, head up, your
eyes (behind your lids) focused ahead.
![Page 52: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
BASIC MEDITATION
Take a deep, cleansing breath, expanding your belly and
keeping your shoulders relaxed, and hold it in for the count of
six. Exhale, and repeat twice more. Then breathe normally, and
focus your attention on your breathing. As you breathe, inhale
through your nose and exhale through your mouth, still
expanding your belly rather than moving your shoulders up
and down.
![Page 53: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
BASIC MEDITATION
If your thoughts drift toward the stresses
of the day ahead or of the day behind you,
gently refocus on your breathing and remain
in the present moment. Feel the air move in,
and feel the air move out
![Page 54: Accelerated learning for the student](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559ac9901a28ab8a578b4605/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
BASIC MEDITATION TIPS
As you breathe, let your abdomen expand and contract,
rather than moving your shoulders up and down. This deeper
breathing is more natural and similar to how babies breathe. It
gives you increased lung capacity, whereas the ‘shallow
breathing’ adults usually utilize doesn’t allow as much
oxygenation of the blood.
