There are different study techniques that every individual can use for study in any course of learning; the techniques are applied depending on individual understanding of the text and the use of the reading methods. One of the most potential method is the scientific method.
The scientific method consist of five basic steps -
1. identifying the problem – locating the problem
2. researching the problem – working on the problem
3. making a hypothesis – building up the ideas
4. testing the problem – proving it by doing the action
5. coming to a conclusion - deciding
It is necessary first to identify the challenges/task to be attended and determine the possibility of working on it, examine the possibility and compare with other past similarities experienced. After having analyzed it; then I can to build up an idea to start the process of solving the challenges/task.
The challenges or difficulties faced in understanding the text when reading it is ever conquered by taking up a style; of course, understanding of reading a text is not always successful; but depending on how you choose the style for effective reading.
Comprehension Reading:
The best reading style that can make somebody to understand better is the comprehension reading, also known as study reading. This comprehension reading is a slowly and carefully reading method that will make somebody to understand the information that is covered by the particular piece of the written textbook.
There are different reading strategies and for this reason, one must have a strategy of how to read and accumulate knowledge through choosing effective strategy. Therefore the best strategy that is effective for comprehension reading is the REDW (known as Read, Examine, Decide and Write). This reading strategy is primarily intended for reading material (textbook) which has difficulty to understand. So it demanded reading the material very slowly and carefully using the comprehension reading.
REDW consists of four separate steps:
R -Read the paragraph or the passage slowly and carefully to identify the main ideas
E – Examine each sentences in the passage and write down few main ideas of the passage
D – Decide which words that explain/describe details of the passage or paragraph
W – Write down the main ideas of the whole passage and move onto the next passage or paragraph.
The above process of study techniques concluded the way how I manage with the studies; but although I am managing the studies; I am facing challenges in effectively implementing it and these challenges include:
1. difficulty in sorting precise main ideas in the passages or paragraphs that I am reading
2. other authors/writers make a lot of references and quotations, making it difficult to understand
3. there are other terms used in the texts which can be found in the dictionaries.
