INTRODUCTION

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!!! Welcome to my third blog😊. Salam UITM dihatiku! Salam Khazanah Alam! As always I hope you are in a good health. Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Nur 'Ain Syafiqah Binti Mohamad Hirani. I am from Selangor. After SPM, I continued my studies in Pre-Diploma Agrotechnology (AT001) at UITM Pahang Kampus Jengka. To clear up, this is a blog about UED102 Study Skills that all new UITM's student will learn during their interim week. I hope everyone will get impressive information from my blog and I hope you like it !!!😉

In this blog, I will talk about a new topic which is 'Getting Ready To Learn'. Getting ready to learn is starts with the support of parents and other important adults who care for them.

WHAT IS GETTING READY TO LEARN

1) Making the transition (from school to university)

- Accept new responsibilities

- Improve your academic standing

- Balance school, home and work

- Avoid plagiarism

- Manage stress

- Decision making and problem solving

2) Characteristics of successful students

Student must become an active learner - Active learners talks and listen, write, read and reflect on what they are learning. Talking about the information and listening to others discuss the information in a study group, for example, gets you actively involved in the learning process.
Students can become a strategic learner - "Strategic learners are students who view studying and learning as a systematic process that is, to a good degree, under their control.", said Weinstein and Hume. They involves three main components which is skill, will and self-regulation.
Students can become a self-regulated learner - Self-regulated learners ae generally more successful in college. How can they be so? They plan before starting a task, select strategies that they know are appropriate for the task, monitor their learning as they are completing the task and after the task is completed, and evaluate the results of their effort.
