Q1. Development of effective study skills and self confidence in academically able young adolescents
I went to the university to become a person with many skills which can help me making a career.
Study skills can be developed by going through the information which are related to the subject study
(Stebleton and Soria, 2013). These skills comprise of reading, concentration techniques and making
notes which can be used further. On the other hand, self-confidence is a positive factor which reflects the
power and abilities of an individual. There is direct connection between these two above-mentioned
elements and study skills help building self-confidence which can be within a person forever. Young
adolescents have the curiosity of learning new things which can be through effective classes, seminars
and sessions. Also, there can be special classes for developing god study skills.
Q2. Students perceptions of their information literacy skills
I as a student have participated in the surveys conducted by various international universities in
order to understand the element of confidence between male and female (MacPhee, Farro and Canetto,
2013). According to the results of those research, it is observed that female is slightly confident than their
male counterparts. Furthermore, some more studies and research have been conducted which show that in
the male dominating world, girls are at better position when it comes to developing skills related to study.
According to me, there have been number of incidents which show that girls tend to have better literacy
skills because of their high confidence and learning capabilities.
