But it’s also daunting because in order to
get a successful academic education, you will have to accept
personal responsibility for a task for which you have received
little or no special training in school. This task requires you
to manage your own learning or to become an active, independent
and self-motivated student when it comes to planning, conducting
and evaluating your academic work.
Put simply, your biggest challenge in the years ahead is to
manage your own learning effectively. The good news is that by
listening to this new audio presentation by Professor Aidan
Moran, you’ve already taken a step in the right direction.
You’ve realized that you will have to become a driver rather
than a passenger in your educational journey. And so, the
purpose of this new audio presentation is to give you some
“driving lessons” in study skills.
Prof Aidan Moran is Director of the Psychology Research
Laboratory in the School of Psychology, University College
Dublin UCD. He is the author of the best-selling book Managing
Your Own Learning at University: A Practical Guide (2000, UCD
Press) as well as many other books on sport psychology and is an
adviser to many of Ireland’s top athletes and teams.
In listening to this recording, you are going to learn how to
manage your own learning, and how to get down to studying.
You'll receive practical tips on motivation, managing your study
time, learning from lectures, listening and note-taking skills,
improving your reading and summarizing skills, focusing
effectively and improving your concentration. You'll be helped
to remember and understand what you learn and you will be given
practical tips on how to evaluate what you learn and think
critically. You are also going to receive tips on planning and
writing essays and papers, and finally you are going to be
taught exam skills to help you to do your best when it matters
most.
