What are learning strategies?
What are learning strategies?
They are the "tools" (thoughts, actions, and aids) that people use to learn and remember information and accomplish tasks more effectively and efficiently in school as well as in non-academic settings.
These are things like:
Mentally retracing your steps when you lose something to see when you last had it;
Creating a song to help remember the names of body parts for a test;
Breaking tasks in a project down into smaller pieces and scheduling them;
Using a calendar and phone alarm to manage your time;
Using an audio reader to listen to an article while reading it;
Using an app to make study cards and quizzes.
For example, you might use the name Roy G Biv to remember the colors and their order in rainbows.
