Practice concentration exercises:
Most of our students rely on using their minds to study without developing their concentration and memory skills to a great extent, which sometimes leads to the student feeling forgetful and unable to memorize information, which makes some describe them as distracted and unfocused, which originally results from neglecting to train and prepare the mind before receiving information that is to be retained for a long period.
Doctors and specialists believe that a student who wants to memorize study information well and retrieve it when needed without losing it or having it interfere with other information, must begin doing exercises to train the mind to focus and remember, and retrieve information through mental images.
Concentration exercises vary in their forms, giving the student the freedom to move between different styles, the most important of which are:
Educational games:
Although they are classified as games for young children, they contribute greatly to increasing the student’s concentration and developing his memory. They have several forms, such as: the maze game, the puzzle, hiding the picture and then remembering its parts, and finding the differences between two pictures.
Focus and close your eyes:
It is one of the most important exercises that trains the mind to memorize mental images of what the student sees. It is applied by focusing on an image for a period not exceeding two minutes without trembling the eyelids or blinking the eye, then closing the eye so that a mental image of the thing being looked at appears. Then the student opens and closes his eyes, trying to recall the image one time after another.
Meditation:
It is for the student to sit alone in a quiet and comfortable place for the body with his eyes closed, and try to focus on one thing, and completely empty the mind of any idea except what was specified above. Meditation helps to bring about the process of re-conditioning and controlling the mind, as well as subjecting it to the will of the student to remember whatever ideas he wants, and not to be preoccupied with matters that are not related to his goals that he wants to achieve.
Countdown:
It is an exercise that trains the mind to focus on one thing. It is applied by having the student sit with his eyes closed, then take a set of numbers, for example from (1 - 100), then count backwards in his mind, such as: 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, until he reaches the number 1. If he gets used to that, he increases the degree of difficulty by counting backwards while missing a number, such as: 96, 98, 100, and so on.
The difficulty of the exercise can be increased by increasing the space of numbers left between the spoken numbers to three or four, and so on, with the addition of a specific time to finish counting; which stimulates the mind to respond quickly to retrieve and finish the matter successfully in the required time.
Therefore, Almadrasah.com is interested in diversifying the use of training and exercises in its educational classes, in addition to providing instructions that help students increase their focus and comprehension during the class, which appears more in the foundation and skill development courses for students in different subjects.
