MAKE STUDYING
A HABIT
Being successful in school
requires a high level of study skills that
must be first learned, practiced and
developed in order to be successful.
Once developed, the job of studying
and learning will become easier and
smarter.
To help you establish good study
habits that fit your personality, take
time to read the topics that follow.
1. Know what your dominant learning style is. Learning
style refers to how an individual is able to learn and
remember information.
a.Visual learners. Many authors and researchers like Dawna
Markova and Anne Powell tell that you learn best in seeing and
showing. Learners who are visual learners tend to appreciate
printed handouts and resources that reinforce educational
concepts. Writing down information will help process and
remember it.
b. Auditory learners choose verbal instruction. Some learners
learn best from hearing and speaking, and are comfortable
listening and talking and tend to engage easily in conversation.
c. Tactile-kinesthetic learners prefer being physically engaged
in the learning process. Markova and Powell stipulated that these
learners are best engaged through experiencing and doing. They
prefer to write things down themselves and will remember best
when they are documenting their own goals and progress.
2. Create a SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Relevant and Timebound)
goals.
3. Make your study time a part of your
routine. Know which time of the day you
learn well.
4. Establish your study zone. Some like a
quiet place while others want a little
noise. Use gadgets like laptops,

or academic goals. List it down so you could count and recall.
c. Determine your ineffective study habit practices that were proven to be bad for your school
performance. Enumerate them so you could count and remember easily.
d. Now that you are in Grade 8 and given the current set up of your studies, try to choose from
your effective study habit practices that you can still apply this school year.
e. Identify those that are effective but need to be modified due to change of learning modality.
f. Add other study habit practices which you think are lacking, for instance, having a regular area
or space to set up your modules, notebooks and other materials, schedule a consultation with
your teachers etc.
g. Display your academic goal and effective study habit practices in your study area as a
reminder for you to do it all the time.
