The Goals Statements


THE GOAL STATEMENTS - FIVE STEPS TO APPROACH









1.Goals Should Be Self-Chosen
  • Goals that are set by your parents, teachers , or friends may not always work for you.
  • You need to determine or choose your own goals;
  • You need to decide what you want to accomplish, if you set your own goals you will be more motivated to achieve them.
2.Goals Should Be Moderately Challenging
  • One way to set moderately challenging goal is to consider what you have done in past.
  • Goals can always be revised, if you discover you can achieve more than you originally set out to accomplish.

3.Goals should be realistic.
  • Think about whether your goals are attainable. Ex: it would be unrealistic to expect to get a B or better in Calculus if your math background is very weak and your high school grades in math were never higher than a C.
  • To set realistic goals, you must carefully evaluate your chances of achieving each goals.

4.Goals Should Be Measurable
  • A goal is measurable if you can determine whether you reached it.
  • It would be difficult to determine whether you achieved your goal if you just wanted to "do well in a course"
5.Goals Should Be Specific
  • The more specific your goals are, the more motivated you'll be to achieve them.
  • Ex: Getting a B in College Algebra is specific goals; while, getting a good grade in College Algebra is not.

6.Goals Should Be finite/limits/bounds
  • Goals need to have a limited time frame.
  • Ex: If a paper is due by Friday, you need to have it done by Friday. However, you might decide to have the paper done by Wednesday so that you can prepare for your big Biology exam on Friday.
  • It's important to set deadlines for all of your goals.
7.Goals Should Be Positive
  • Negative goal statements tend to make you feel that you can't really be successful; they aren't motivating.
  • Ex: "I don't want to get any lower than a C in any of my classes." , "I won't go to dinner until I get this calculus work done".
  • You'll always do better if you are working toward something----when you have a positive attitude.
  • Avoid using words like try, think, hope, and should when you describe your goals.

Long- And Short-Term Goals

  • Long-term goals are the objectives you set for yourself for the end of the year, for four or five years from now. or even for a lifetime.
  • Short-term goals can be set for an hour from now, for the end of the day, week, month, or term (or semester) Ex: Short-term goals include things like completing a reading assignment, writing an essay, getting a B in a course, getting off probation or making the Bucket's List.
  • Think of your short-term goals as steps toward achieving the long-term goals you have set to yourself.

Academic And Personal Goals

  • Academic goals, relate to your course work. They include things like going to class,  completing assignments, and preparing for exams.
  • Personal goals, like making new friends, participating in clubs or sporting events, exercising, or even  doing your laundry. 

Five-Step Approach To Setting Goals.

  • Step 1: Tentative Goal Statement
Ex: I want at least a B in Biology
  • Step 2: List of Obstacles
Ex: I have trouble following the lecture, and I struggle to take notes
  • Step 3: List of Resources
Ex: I'll read the chapter before the lecture, I'll rewrite my notes afterward.
  • Step 4: Revised Goal Statements
Ex: I'll try to earn a B in Biology.
  • Step 5: Polished Goal Statement
Ex: I will achieve a B in Biology this semester.

The percentages of knowledge that we get went get a lecture only 5% . That's meant we must do more to get the knowledge . Teaching others will make us understand the most because we must explain it to others. Its the best way to understand. Lets practise to do that way in learning because more we share, more we get. Students need to understand how information is learned and to understand the needs of using various kinds of active learning strategies in learning, retaining, and using the information (encoding, storage, and retrieval) and hence, indicates how one learns, remembers, and forgets. According to Kenneth Higbee, “remembering is hard work, and memory techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just make it more effective” (Van Blerkom, 2009, p. 93).

READING /STUDY SYSTEM (SQ3R/) 💖 💫💫CREATE AWARENES 💫💫 Reading academic materials are different from general reading tasks (story books, newspaper). Using a study system can help in comprehending reading academic materials due to three factors: 1. active learning strategies 2. use of multisensory methods (eyes, ears, mouth, hands – refer to the learning pyramid) 3. immediate steps for self-testing and review Ref: https://www.slideshare.net/gskeesee/active-reading-sq3r 💝 SQ3R: SURVEY-QUESTION-READ-RECITE-REVIEW 💝 SQ3R is a comprehension strategy that facilitates students think about the text they are reading while they are reading.
