What are Study Skills?

Study skills are the skills you need to enable you to study and learn efficiently – they are an important set of transferable life skills. They are generally critical to success in school, considered essential for acquiring good grades, and useful for learning throughout one's life.

Study skills are an array of skills which tackle the process of organising and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with assessments. They include mnemonics, which aid the retention of lists of information; effective reading; concentration techniques; and efficient note taking.

While often left up to the student and their support network, study skills are increasingly taught at the high school and university level.

More broadly, any skill which boosts a person's ability to study, retain and recall information which assists in and passing exams can be termed a study skill, and this could include time management and motivational techniques.

Study skills are discrete techniques that can be learned, usually in a short time, and applied to all or most fields of study. They must, therefore, be distinguished from strategies that are specific to a particular field of study (e.g. music or technology), and from abilities inherent in the student, such as aspects of intelligence or learning styles. It is crucial in this, however, for students to gain initial insight into their habitual approaches to study, so they may better understand the dynamics and personal resistances to learning new techniques.

What are the types of study skills? 

Getting organised - Until and unless a person is organised, it becomes impossible to use all the available resources to your advantage.

Finding the time to study- One of the most crucial study strategies is managing time so that the learner can have the maximum time for studying. Plan it for a healthy work-life balance and for avoiding anxiety and stress later on. Remember, time management can break large tasks into manageable subtasks that are easy to achieve.

Sources of information - An important aspect of learning is to use materials, theory, and research to back up your study. The learner needs to find various sources of information, and it is essential to know where to look for it, access it, and then how to use it for personal advantage.

Effective reading - Reading is a vital study strategy that requires understanding opinions, making links, research, and applying whatever you have learned to your studies. The goal is to know about the factual information that can be used practically. 

Writing styles - Identifying and knowing about various writing styles will help in understanding the one specific style that is best for a person. It is the writing style that tells others how you have interpreted a document and what are the things that you consider important.

Why are study skills important?

There are many reasons why study skills are important. For example, study strategies are important as it helps in cultivating self-motivation. Also, study methods help in improving the organised skills. Study skills strategies help in improving the retention power in students. You or your child can definitely benefit from study skills lessons and courses!
