This essay discusses study skills and different approaches to learning, including visual, auditory, reading & writing, and kinesthetic. It also explains the capabilities of the brain related to academic study and the importance of mind-mapping. Personalized learning and the C.R.E.A.M. strategy of learning are also discussed.

Study skills

INTRODUCTION
Study Skills also known as the academic skills are strategies which are considered to be
the approaches that are applied towards the learning of the organisation. They are also known as
the array of skills which are taken by the learners for processing the information for dealing with
assessments. This essay will be showing the understanding of how the people will learn and
understand the different approaches of learning. In this essay the explanation of the capabilities
of the brain and their relevance towards the academic study has been discussed. This essay also
discusses the mind-mapping which is the aid to the storing and retrieving of the information.
MAIN BODY
Understanding and discussing ways of learning different approaches to learning
Study skills are the skills which are needed for the students to learn the efficiency of the
importance of the transferable skills. They are considered to be the skill of study which provides
the learners to discipline and bring differences to the circumstances of the full and part-time
students. It depends on the circumstances of the students which is considered to be important for
education of life for engaging with the learners for being effective (Karagiannopoulou
et.al.,2020).
There are different learning styles which the learners prefer during their study. Core
learning styles which are discussed for the learning of the individual is Visual, auditory, reading
& writing and the Kinesthetic. Visual learning style involves the learners which have the ability
to retain the information which is presented to them in a graphical representation which may
involve arrows, charts, diagrams, symbols and more. These type of learners are influenced from
deign elements of the learning. Auditory is referral of the auditory learning which prefer the
listening practices for the efficiency of their learning. It helps with the information about the
presentation to the information vocally (Tuononen, Parpala and Lindblom-Ylänne, 2020). This
learning style is considered to work efficiently in the group settings. Reading & writing learners
are the ones which enjoy both reading and writing of information. It can be said as the way of
learning which is preferred by the note takers. The Kinesthetic form of learning is the one which
prefers to do all sorts of physical activity which is considered to thrive on the ways in which it
engages with the workers. My preferred style of learning is Visual as it is considered to be very
impactful as human brains tends to remember what they see as a visual.

The personalized learning is the form of study skills which is explained as the educational
approach which aims to customize the learning for each student's strength, needs, skills and
interests. The personalization of the learning to create a pathway of education which takes into
account the specific strengths, interests and also needs to teach each student the ways of creating
unique learning experiences.
Cream strategy of learning is approach which includes the following, Creativity – In this
the learner with the help of some confidence shows creativity in which they encourage
themselves for own individual strategies and styles for the best form of work. Reflective – It is
the stage in which the teachers guide their learners to reflect on their own performance for
identifying the strengths areas of improvement and also consider the ways in which they visit
their colleagues. Effective – It helps the learner to understand the needs of the state of mind,
space, time and minerals, This is considered to be the effective way of saving time and effort into
their learning (González et.al., 2022). Active- This dimension is very important as in this the
teacher is actively involved in the teaching and constantly looking towards the ways in which
they are responsible for games, role plays and simulations. Motivation – The success of the
learners depends on their level of motivation which helps in pursuing the goals for reaching the
success and working with the attitude that helps the tutors with every little detail. Motivation is
very important part of the C.R.E.A.M learning strategy.
Knowing how to do mean having the theoretical knowledge about the practices whereas
actually doing things provides the practical experiences to the learning practices. Time
management is the way in which it is able to find the ways of doing things which helps in
deciding the ways in which it is able to manage the stress (Piumatti et.al., 2021). Managing time
is very important for the learners for the development of learning experiences. The stress is
considered to be very effective in the development of ways in which it can influence the learning
experiences (Du et.al., 2019). Management of stress is important for the learners as it helps them
to rethink and be more productive in learning.
Explaining capabilities of brain related to academic study
The human brain is the mastermind behind the learning experiences of the individual.
the individuals are able to bring able to make the full use of the brain the learners still have the
ways in which learners are able to bring effectiveness. Capabilities of the brain develops along
the age of the individual. The brain is able to mature at the same rate in each of the

individualistic manners (Fauzi, Degeng and Akbar, 2018). The study of the brain suggests that
the learner brain is responsible for every thing that they learn and this is the same brain which is
the reason behind a learner's development to an expert.
There are many obstacles to the effective study which is considered to be the fear that
criticisms or affects the judgement of the fear of failure. The mental aspect obstacle to effective
study also includes lack of proper motivation which is generally the result of the uncertainty in
the result of the learning or fear which is due to the previous failures. The uncertainty of the
learning experiences is considered to be the factor which influences the poor management of the
learning experiences. Emotional obstacles to effective learning includes the ways pressure, fear
of failure and also lack of clear goals which is considered to be the factor that impacts the
individuals negative performance in the learning. Physical blocks are the ones which is
considered to be the factor which is considered to be the other activities such as the school
buildings and heavy doors. The inaccessibility of the wash-rooms is considered to be very
important for the students.
Bring assessed is considered to be the reduction of fear and feelings which is considered
to be the intimidation of the ways in which the learners are able to reduce the damages it does to
its learning motivation. Reduction of fear of failure includes motivational methods through
which the teachers will allow bringing growth in the ways in which they will help in the
development of the study skills. It has been said that the intimidation of the learning is said to be
the way in which it is ab le to bring the learning (Bawaneh, 2019).
The preparation of the study needs to include different practices which are related to the
learning experiences of the students. It needs to have a time table which will help in the
management of the time that is required for the development of the proper structure the study. It
has been seen that due to the browsing, refreshing and defining goals of the motivation it is
considered to be the way in which the learners will be able to develop operations in accordance
to their academic objectives. Mentoring can be seen to be an effective way in which it can help
the individuals in the development learning experiences.
The preparation of a plan which will focus on the ways in which the preview and review
of the skills which need improvement for the learning experiences can help the learners to
develop the learning practices. The there are ways in which the learners will be able to improve
their learning experiences. Through improving their efficiencies regarding the development of

the individuals. Speed reading is the technique which is able to explain the techniques which is
able to chain the ways of improving the learning practices. It involves utilization of books,
videos and software which is able to explain the development of the learning experiences.
Mind-mapping is an aid to store and retrieve information
The mind-mapping is considered to be the factor which is able to influence the learning
practices through the ways of linking the key concepts which is used through the help of images,
lines and links which is considered to be the central concept which is able to link the other
concepts of learning with the idea that are helpful for the learners. The following mind map is
able to help in the development of the ways in which the learner is able to retrieve.
The key principles of mind-mapping are the ways in which it is able to develop central
theme which is considered to be very effective towards its aims. The learning experiences of the
individuals can be considered to be the ways in which It was able to create the growth of the
practices. The use of images in the mind map allows the leaner to have a clear understanding of
the ways in which it is able to bring effectiveness of the practices which is able to simulate the
creativity through the ways of drawing attention to the practices that is helpful for the
development of memory (Astawa, 2019). Utilization of two to three keywords is considered to be
the important factor which allows leaner in the management of the study skills to be effective.
Mind-mapping has certain misconceptions which is considered to myths which are
responsible for the study skills. It has the myth that the mind map is not as effective as the
technical subjects which such as maths. The concepts of the maps is a complex issue which is
very similar in the consideration. There is also a conception that the mind maps do not appeal so
logically effective towards the thinking. The mind maps is a process which is able to recognize
the key differences towards the ways in which it is able to bring the holistic to the thinking which
is able to think seriously towards adding. The mind-maps are considered to not be a so effective
in the management of the logical thinking.
The steps of the process which is considered to be effective in the creation of mind maps
is said to be the management of the issues which it is able to address during the factors of
efficiencies (Research in Brain Function and Learning, 2020. It has been able to explain the
different steps which is able to create the mind map which has factors of indecisions and
consideration of the process which allows the learners to bring growth in their operational
practices. The management of the mind maps is directly or indirectly considered to be the factor

which influences the growth of the learning issues. Creation of mind maps include the
development of a central idea which is considered to bring the effective approach of learning
which that is able to bring the base of the mind map concept. Through the addition of the
branches in the map the management of the learning practices can be considered to be the key
factor which influences the organisation to bring efficiency in their management. The branches
which are related to the mind maps can have different colours which can be the factor that
influences the different codes and branches. With the application of different visuals mind map is
able to create significance to the ways in which they central idea is linked with the different ways
(Pribadi and Susilana, 2021).
Mind map is considered to be the way in which the learner is able to influence creativity
in the organisation is through the management of the first and foremost visual thinking as tool
that is helpful for the stimulation of the ideas and process. The factors which influences the brain
is more visual which is the way in which it is able to bring the knowledge and understanding the
learners. The effectiveness of the mind map is seen to bring associations to the ways in which it
helps in capturing the ideas that bring assurance to the learning experiences.
CONCLUSION
From this essay it can be concluded that the learning experiences in the study skills is
very important for the student to develop as they are the practices that influences both growth
and effectiveness. For the understanding of the ways in which the people are able to learn in the
educational environment the different approaches, styles and methods of learning to have been
explained. In this project the capabilities of the brain of the learner has been efficiently explained
while highlighting the factors which influences the growth of the academic study. In this essay a
mind-map has been created which is considered to be the factor that influences the learner to
understand the concept of study skills effectively.
