Many students today assimilate learning with PQ4R. PQ4R is
an active approach of learning in which many students learn. It has six steps
including preview, questioning, reading, reflecting, reciting, and reviewing.
Preview is getting a generic idea or concept about something before seeing it
in depth. Today many textbooks follow this format. In questioning, we set goals
in our minds of what we want to learn. One way to do this is through phrasing
questions. Reading is a step after making the questions where these are going
to be answered. While reading, reflecting can happen. Reflecting is creating
mental images of the subject being seen. In reflecting one relates the new
information to the old information or relating it with experiences. This is
called insight. Reciting is the act of saying the information over and over
again or repeating it. For example, one learned the alphabet through reciting.
Finally reviewing is the act of repeat or reread the information to know it
better. This is what one regularly does when studying. I believe these are
great methods of learning and this is why they are applied in several schools.
Also many students use these methods due to their effectiveness. For example, I
use reviewing as a study tool and it has been effective so far. I believe PQ4R
is the most effective method of learning in schools.
