ROLE OF MUSIC IN STUDY

ROLE OF MUSIC IN STUDY It’s fair to to say the majority of students prefer to study while listening to music. Whether frantically cramming some last-minute reading to Kanye, or finalising an essay to the sound of the Arctic Monkeys, go to any university or college library and the majority of students there will be listening to their music of choice. Music is a very significant part of our daily lives; the image of the quietly-focused student isolating themselves into a personal study zone has led to interest into whether listening to music actually helps studies or not. Research into the field has proven fairly ambiguous, with many studies contradicting each other. However this does provide an useful insight for students who maybe looking into ways to use music to enhance their exam performance.

PLAN YOUR FUTURE

Planning Your Future in Learning It's never too early to start thinking about your future and what you want to do! When you’re young you might think you have all the time in the world, then all of a sudden you have to start making important choices. ‘What activities do I want to do?’ ‘Which clubs should I join?’ ‘Which subjects should I pick in school?’ Then you have to decide about further education, work experience and careers. The trouble is that the choices we make along the way right back to the clubs we join in primary school - can affect the futures we choose for ourselves. While our future can always be altered and is our own to choose, the journey can be made much easier by planning for the future you want today. Deciding your future The future you see for yourself when you’re 12 may be radically different to the one you want when you turn 17; this is inevitable. As we grow older and develop we soon learn what subjects and hobbies we enjoy and find the ones we rea...

How to face Spm in 50 days

Stop hogging the revision books and start doing your past years!! First, to test your understanding and memories on what you have learnt, read your revision book for an hour to revise what you learnt throughout the year. For example, read your textbook and revision books for Biology for an hour or two and that's it; no more reading. Then, get your trial papers out and do it as if you're in the exam. You're also only allowed to check the answers after you completed everything. It's okay if you get a lot of wrong answers at first, nobody's perfect. You will then gradually remember your mistakes and not repeat it the next time! Fast and effective. Reward yourself!! Everyone gets stressed and that's ok because it's our body's natural reaction. I had a few acquaintances that cried when they couldn't understand a specific add maths question or couldn't memorize all the facts for Sejarah and NEWSFLASH! Time waits for no man. Oh boy, the stress whe...

They find it really difficult to cope with the challenges that come up with a new teaching syllabus. When Malaysian students travel overseas, they find it extremely tiresome to develop their basic level of understanding about the subjects that their fellows are already great at. This frustrates them to a point that they do not feel like continuing their education overseas. So, if Malaysian education system focuses more on consistency then it will become the best country where people from different countries will come to get themselves educated. Less knowledge about practical subjects Since Malaysian education system is too academic focused. It does not include subjects that lead their students stand out from the rest of the stu...
