A conversation on active reading skills for college success with Gail Malone, Ph.D., Director of the Teaching & Learning Center at South Plains College.
Here are some strategies for how to evaluate:
- Identify premises and conclusions
- Examine evidence and support
- Consider alternative viewpoints
- Check for bias or assumptions
- Evaluate logic and reasoning
- Assess significance and implications
- Make a judgment based on criteria
The key is to thoughtfully analyze the argument and make an informed evaluation, not just an opinion. Consider multiple perspectives.
This document provides strategies for effective reading comprehension. It outlines seven key strategies: make connections, visualize, ask questions, infer, determine importance, synthesize, and use text features. Readers should make connections to their own experiences and knowledge, visualize descriptions to aid understanding, ask questions before, during and after reading, infer deeper meanings, identify important ideas, synthesize information by combining new knowledge with existing knowledge, and use features like titles and headings to guide comprehension.
1. The document provides guidance on reflective writing for university students. It explains that reflective writing involves critically examining one's own thoughts and learning processes, not just summarizing what was learned.
2. Reflective writing can help students make connections between new and prior knowledge, integrate different perspectives, and clarify understanding. It encourages active learning by reflecting on successes and mistakes.
3. The document offers tips on how to structure reflective writing, including using descriptive and analytical writing styles, addressing prompts, and relating reflections back to course content and experiences. Sample reflective assignments from different disciplines are also provided.
The document discusses what critical thinking is, including that it involves understanding, analyzing, and evaluating information to make informed judgments, and lists characteristics of strong critical thinkers such as being honest about limitations and seeking balanced views. It also outlines Bloom's Taxonomy of critical thinking skills and provides examples of strategies like SQ3R and PTR2 that can be used to critically analyze different types of texts.
This document discusses Action Stations, an educational program that uses action research to empower student learning. It provides children with a common place to play, learn, and discuss the learning process. Students can make their own choices at various stations focused on developing skills like language, math, motor skills, and more. Teachers reflect on student progress and tailor the stations based on individual needs. Both teachers and parents report that Action Stations engages students and leads to personalized, purposeful learning and development of independence.
Make Your Next Training an EPIC Experience!Sharon Bowman
The document discusses how to create memorable and impactful training experiences called "EPIC experiences". EPIC is an acronym that stands for experiences that are Emotional, Participatory, Image-rich, and Connected.

This document provides guidance on developing effective academic reading skills. It introduces the QUASAR method for improving critical reading abilities. This method involves questioning texts, being an active reader, using systems to organize reading, analyzing what is read, and reflecting on reading. The document advises readers to identify their current reading skills, develop critical reading abilities, and learn strategies to interact more effectively with texts. It distinguishes surface reading, focused on memorization, from deep reading, aimed at understanding through relating ideas and critically examining arguments. Readers are prompted to reflect on their reading efficiency and level of interaction with texts.
Basic reading skills include the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds in language; to identify printed letters and their associated sounds; to decode written language. Phonics is a set of rules that specify the relationship between letters in the spelling of words and the sounds of spoken language
The document discusses learning styles and provides tips for improving memory and learning based on different learning styles.

Visual learners learn best through seeing information, auditory learners through listening, and kinesthetic learners through hands-on experience. The document provides characteristics and effective study techniques for each learning style. It concludes with ten general memory improvement tips such as focusing attention, avoiding cramming, using mnemonic devices, and rehearsing information.
The document discusses learning styles and how understanding your own learning style can help improve your academic and professional performance. There are three main learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners learn best through seeing images, graphs, and diagrams. Auditory learners learn best through listening to lectures, discussions, and reading aloud. Kinesthetic learners learn best through hands-on activities and physical movement. Identifying your dominant learning style allows you to tailor your study methods accordingly to maximize your learning potential.

It consists of 5 main components: read to self, work on writing, listen to reading, word work, and read to someone. The framework is explicitly taught to students and uses gradual release of responsibility to build independence. It aims to develop literacy skills and foster motivation by explaining the purpose of tasks. Daily practice is emphasized to build stamina over time in each area.
CRITICAL THINKING AND REFLECTIVE PRACTICES.pptxUzmaKhan565531
This document discusses critical thinking and reflective practice in teaching. It defines critical thinking as understanding, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating problems. Reflective practice means reflecting on one's own actions to continuously learn and improve teaching. The document provides models for reflection, including What?-So What?-Now What? and describes-feelings-evaluation-analysis-conclusion-action plan. Overcoming barriers like time, skills, and motivation are discussed.
The document provides an overview of reading strategies and techniques for students to utilize in order to maximize learning from texts. It discusses different types of readers and reading abilities. It then outlines various strategies students can use before, during, and after reading, including setting a purpose, previewing texts, predicting, connecting to background knowledge, summarizing, and discussing what was read. The document also describes techniques like skimming, scanning, browsing, and deep study reading. It emphasizes that mastering reading skills is important for personal and academic success.
1. A visual product such as storyboards for an anti-smoking TV ad using minimal words.
2. A kinesthetic product such as a pantomime depicting the internal struggle of whether to smoke and making a decision with a rationale.
3. A written product such as a comic book parody using smoking superheroes/heroines to illustrate the risks of tobacco use. The options differentiate the assignment by having students demonstrate their learning through their preferred modality of visual, kinesthetic, or written expression.
This document discusses three reading strategies: questioning, using text features, and monitoring understanding. For questioning, it emphasizes generating questions before, during, and after reading to focus attention and deepen comprehension. Using text features involves identifying elements like titles and subtitles to aid understanding. Monitoring understanding involves checking one's comprehension throughout reading using strategies like SQ3R (survey, question, read, recite, review). Guided practice sections ask readers to apply these strategies to sample texts.
The presentation will introduce you to the different ways teachers can help learners to be better prepared for life in the 21st century. There are many ideas which teachers are already using every day such as Global Awareness and Cross Curricular Skills, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration. The author of the presentation reflects on how we can develop such skills while teaching English to our students.
This document provides information on personal development and learning styles. It discusses values, interests, skills, and goal setting. The proverb at the beginning emphasizes thinking about the future while in the present. Various activities guide reflection on values, strengths, and career interests. Tips are provided on identifying one's preferred learning style and improving learning abilities. The overall message is that understanding yourself, your skills, and learning preferences can help with career planning and achieving goals.
