Workshop: Webinar: Advisors Help Student SOAR to Success

Course ID - CTD0395         

Short Title: SOAR for Advisors     

Description:
Most students have not been taught how to learn. Instructors have taught them math and science but not how to learn such content. Consequently, students are grounded by ineffective learning strategies like sketchy note taking, outlining, and rehearsal. Academic advisors can help students SOAR to success by teaching them the simple SOAR study system— S election, O rganization, A ssociation, and R egulation. Selection begins with good attention strategies and culminates in a detailed set of notes for further study. Organization involves constructing graphic organizers like hierarchies, sequences, and matrices that reveal information’s structure. Associations are formed between new information and prior knowledge to foster understanding and retention. Regulation of learning occurs primarily through self-testing. Students able to SOAR can learn effectively in any academic setting.

Objectives

As a result of successful completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• List and describe some effective and ineffective study strategies
• Explain how students can self-test and why this strategy is an important step in the learning process
• List and describe some memory strategies
• Describe the following strategies and list some examples: graphic organizers, internal associations, and external associations
• Describe how error analysis can be used to enhance student learning
