As students embark on study leave Claire Gemson from Glasgow Science Centre asks if there is a formula for successful revision ✍️ gsc1
As students embark on this stressful six-week period, Claire Gemson from Glasgow Science Centre asks if there is a formula for successful revision and finds out how technology is shaping the way today’s students revise.
Research by Professor John Dunlosky of Kent State University looked at the 10 most popular revision methods, such as re-reading, highlighting/underlining or making summaries. “It’s all about being prepared and having at your fingertips a breadth of understanding that can adapt to new problems you haven’t seen before.”
Students are also using technology to carefully manage their time and distractions by using apps which block access to social media for a set period of time.As exams return to normal, the legacy of lockdown study is an unprecedented change in the way pupils engage with technology to revise at home.West OS provides recorded learning experiences and revision resources for children and young people and is freely accessible online and via a pupil’s Glow account.
The revision value in connecting with real life skills is something Tara Gibson, senior learning co-ordinator at Glasgow Science Centre, feels strongly about, she says: “For me, it is definitely easier to study when I can put it into practice or see where there is a connection to real life. That’s something we try to highlight in science centre activities.”
