Self - regulation Self-regulation support strategies that help you set goals, manage your time, and monitor your learning, are also crucial for effective study. Of course, intelligence, personality attributes, beliefs and attitudes, are not the only factors important in academic success. The strategies that students use are critical to their success. These strategies are not only the obvious study skills for reading and note-taking, practicing and memorizing,but also a category of strategies we might term 'support' strategies. These include strategies aimed at setting goals, managing time and effort, and monitoring your performance and progress. In study, these come under the concept of self-regulation, which is related to the more general concept of metamemory. Self-regulation is crucial to successful study. Self-regulation isn't simply about 'self-control', although that's one aspect of it. Self-regulation skills include manipulating your environme...

Role of motivation on academic performance A simple change in instruction can significantly affect motivation and test performance. Motivation is of course another critical factor in academic performance. This is displayed in a fascinating study by researchers at the Educational Testing Service, who gave one of their widely-used tests (the ETS Proficiency Profile, short form, plus essay) to 757 students from three institutions: a research university, a master's institution, and a community college.

In the control condition, students were told: “Your answers on the tests and the survey will be used only for research purposes and will not be disclosed to anyone except the research team.” In the “Institutional” condition, the rider was added: “However, your test scores will be averaged with all other students taking the test at your college.” While in the “Personal” condition...

Dear Students,  It is a myth that if you wake up early morning and study then you will have a bright future. It is not. You should choose your own study hours, hours when you feel total focus be it the any time out of the available 24 hours. Although some research reveals that people witness sharp concentration from around 11 pm night to 9 am morning ( maybe because during these time there are no disturbing elements around).Practice meditation. It really helps a lot. Meditation is not only about sitting with your backbone straight, hands on knees and fingers folded. Rather it can also be done just by listening to some music which brings peace to your mind or by taking a walk alone down the silent street; its magical one should definitely try. You can try these when you get exhausted with studies or during study breaks. Fix your place of study so that you can develop connectivity with that place and the next time you will sit there your brain will be convinced that it’s a time to...
