How to learn effectively?

Every day you spend several hours at school, learning new things. It is of course not possible to acquire all the information from various fields at once. It is enough, however, to adhere to some good advice, so that knowledge stays in our mind more easily.

You already know from the previous lesson that it is harder to concentrate when you feel tired or hunger. So if you want to have a fresh mind, take a good night's sleep and nutritious breakfast in the morning. Remember, too, that in the course of learning that you are not distracted, because learning in noise has no effect.

Always try during the lesson to focusfocusfocus on words of the teacher or on the tasks you perform. Then you will understand the new content best, and if in doubt, you can ask questions - not only to the teacher, but also to friends. Together, it is easier to solve many complicated problems. Making experiences together, solving puzzles, discussing difficult issues are good methods, so as not to be bored in lessons, remember as much as possible.

Certainly some school subjects you like more and others less. However, even learning less liked ones can also be easy. Learning to deal with a more a difficult subject is favored by working together with colleagues who are interested in the field and who do not struggle with it.

Also remember to learn systematically, that is, regularly – mastering the material from one lesson is often necessary to understand the next. Thanks to systematic learning, you do not need to learn all the material before the test – just a quick revision!

Important!

Learning for too long (eg for two hours without a break) is tiring for the body, and therefore not very efficient. It is better to take a short break every half hour, eg to do some physical exercises. The work will be less monotonous then, and the focus on learning easier.

A place to learn

Before you sit down to do homework, make sure your place of study is properly prepared. The chair you are sitting on should have an adjustable backrest to support your back well. The desk top should be well lit: sunlight works best. If you study in artificial lighting, make sure you have a good light bulb. Remember that right‑handed people should set the lamp on the left side of the desk, and left‑handed people – on the right.

Nagranie filmowe dotyczące wskazówek, jak przygotować w domu komfortowe miejsce do nauki. Film przedstawia jak zorganizować biurko na którym stoi komputer. Na środku biurka stoi monitor komputera podłączony kablem do stacji bazowej komputera znajdującej się pod biurkiem. Po lewej stronie monitora znajduje się klawiatura po prawej stronie pojemnik na przybory do pisania. Obok klawiatury pojawia się lampka biurkowa, która ustawiona jest tak by dawać dużo światła na klawiaturę. Następnie nad biurkiem zostaje zawieszona półka z książkami w bezpiecznej odległości od komputera. Następnie na krześle przed monitorem komputera pojawia się mężczyzna, który demonstruje właściwe ułożenie dłoni przed komputerem oraz zdrową postawę siedzenia przed komputerem.

Before you start learning, think about what you may need. Prepare the necessary aids so that their search does not distract you and does not detract from your work. They shouldn't be in the way – it's important that they have their own place. Also, make sure that there are no unnecessary items on the desk.

For long‑term sitting at the desk, you do not get tired and do not adversely affect your posture,every now and then (eg every half hour) get up from the desk and do 1‑2 stretches. Also take care of your eyes, especially when working with a computer or tablet. Every half hour it is worth to take your eyes off the screen and look into the distance (preferably the green landscape outside the window) to let your eyes rest.
