Ever since I've been entrusted to 'care' for the LSP, I've been reading up on learning techniques even more. Recently, I've borrowed books from the library on motivation and psychology. Coincidentally, my lecturer is also on this same topic... so I see a lot of relevance. So, which kind of smart are you??? One can be almost all ten you know... Why not, indentify your kind of smart? Then upgrade yourself? Strengthen on your strengths and improve your weakness. Oklah...I better stop here...Insya Allah, I will continue brain boosting...
Let me share certain things I read on techniques to make you smarter... My dearest students, try to understand them and put them into use... Let's all get smarter...
Before we even THINK that we're smart, (let alone BE smart) we should know how our brains work. What happens in our heads when we use our minds? How come we can remember certain things unimportant yet forget the important details?
Long ago, before the invention of the high-tech scanners and imaging equipments, people used to think that the brain is a hollow organ waiting to be filled with memories. With the advancement of technology, we now know how wrong we were. The brain is a highly complicated organ. Perhaps the most complicated yet the most rewarding if we can understand it.
To understand more about the brain, please consult your biology textbooks. (HAHA!!!) You can also surf this website: http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/brain.html
That website gives you a very impressive explaination on the brain. Of course there are others. But I think, this is one of the simplest.
Next, I believe that we all understand that different people are smart in different ways. People used to say that smart people are those who ace their studies, mainly English and Maths. Research has shown, however, that people who are smart (in this manner) are actually not successful.
In the book I read, there are 10 different kinds of smart.
