Study Skills: Approaches, Benefits, and Mind Mapping

Study Skills

INTRODUCTION
Every human being has some sort of goals or objective with his life and he wish to pursue for
that goal. For achieving that objective the individual joins the educational institutions or the
classes so that they can attain the required learning. To make the things learn an individual
approach is different from each other. One individual might learned the subjects or the topic
through pictures and videos while other understands the things through books only. There are
some other people who only understand the topics or subject when one make the things
understand to them. So there are various approaches to learning which an individual follows.
This essay will discusses about the various type of learning approaches available, the potential of
brain to capture and the usages of these learning approaches in academic field and the ways in
which mind mapping could be helpful in gathering, organizing and understanding the
information which a person reads or listens.
MAIN BODY
Study skills are the skills or strategies which an individual uses to inculcate the learning in him.
These strategies are executed by a person when he tries to understand or learn some topics or
subjects. Such skills or strategies enable a person to learn the things in a much easier way and
help them in getting the good score in their subjects. A person should not just study but he must
perform the smart study. The smart study would help the student in getting the things or topic
learns with less time and more efficiency. The smart study also lessens the time taken by an
individual to make the things learn. In smart studying the students uses various approaches or
styles for studying (Cottrell, 2019). It has been observed that an individual learns more when he
practically performs that things rather than he just learned the topic theoretically so a student
must try to perform the topics or subjects in practical so that it can get fix into his head. When a
person performs the learning in practice he tends to remember or memorize everything but when
he learned the things in theory only then it is more likely chances for forgetting as he just has
mugged it. One of the other effective ways of learning can be writing. Write the topic or the
learning which you have just leaned now. This would help a student in taking a test about the
percentage he has remembered yet from the things he has just learned. There are in total 3 types
of approaches for learning which an individual can use to make the things learn which are:
behavioral approach, cognitive approach and humanist approach. The student can use any of
these available approaches to learn the things in a more effective way (Dawson, 2018).
Behavioral approach which is also known by approach of behavioral states that every
behavior stimuli is the action influenced by the environment process which is known as
“conditioning”. The theories of Behavioral approaches can be learned through regular and
standard observation. Through including and utilizing this methodology in learning, individuals
and understudy can learn new things by watching the surroundings and response of upgrade.
This learning approach study changes in the conduct which is caused through a person's

immediate encounter of their current circumstance, actualizing the standards of old style and
operant molding to characterize them (Husmann, Barger and Schutte, 2016). Cognitive learning
style is also a powerful instrument of learning. It is a method of realizing which helps
understudies and individuals use their cerebrums all the more adequately. This procedure of
learning is dynamic, productive and dependable. It inspires and urges individuals to completely
include in the learning movement so that getting the hang of, thinking and recollecting get
simple. This learning approach isn't about update, reiteration and remembrance. It is tied in with
improving and growing genuine comprehension and how individuals can learn. This learning
approach predominantly center on more fitting usage of the cerebrum. From this approach an
individual learns the logical reasoning and thinking ability, he develops the skills for legitimate
decision making and problem solving (Hyseni Duraku and Hoxha, 2018). This approach is a
proficient type of encouraging a deep rooted fondness of learning and improvement in people.
This methodology aid improves perception, creates critical thinking capacities, helps certainty
and empowers progressing learning. Humanist approach is another style of learning the things. It
said that knowledge and emotions goes simultaneously. This is a teaching style in which the
teacher believes that different individual has different ways for learning which he respects it. The
teacher helps the student in making the things learn or understand in the manner in which he is
comfortable with or understands. In this approach the teacher respects the style or the approaches
used by the people in making the things learn and respects for their emotions, cultural
background from they belong, proving the equal rights to these people and the like. Also the
teacher tries its best to make a strong connection with his students. It is also concerned with
solving the human problems or issues in more rational way. This theory is the most commonly
used by the teachers, mentors or coaching persons now a days because they believe this approach
is more feasible and liked by majority of people (Kneale, 2019).
Cerebrum or mental based learning c Mind mapping haracterizes that how the mind
learns at cell level. The term cerebrum learning and capacity allude to the usage of mind based
learning in instructive setting. Mind viable learning isn't a program to be introduced inside
instruction. It is a development of rules that may lead learning and instructive choices and a
region in its outset. Mind can figure out how to everything which individuals and understudies
need. At the point when the individual use cerebrum in learning specific things, at that point a
message is conveyed structure on neuron to another an electric compound cycle (Naqvi and et
al., 2018). The active data makes a trip down the axon to the furthest limit of the axon where a
neural connection is arranged. The sign releases a synthetic message that crosses the synaptic
hole. The mind is skilled to get familiar with a few things as it is intended to see and create
designs, It likewise contradicts having inane designed obliged upon it. Learning is making on the
action of recognizing and making designs. It is vital to interface new information to current
examples in individuals' and understudies' brain. Scholarly investigation is significant as there
are a few territories which need the person to include with scholastic examination (Noohi,
Alipoor and Bahaadinbeigi, 2016). Scholastic examination is basic as the principal point of it is
to give idea and improvement of information. Any ruler of study and assessment has different
