Learning Strategy (Strategi Belajar)

Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective. The learning strategy for this lesson is Use Images. When we listen to directions, it helps to use an image in our mind or on a screen or paper to understand them better. Here is an example.

Marcos wants to go to his friend Lucia's house. He asks her to give him directions. As he listens, he draws a map on a piece of paper. Lucia says, "Turn right at the supermarket." Marcos draws a box with an 'S' on his map. He draws an arrow (=>) to the right. When he is walking to Lucia's house, he thinks of the map. He remembers the supermarket and the arrow. He turns right and finds Lucia's house.

Strategi belajar adalah gagasan dan tindakan yang akan mempermudah pembelajaran dan membuatnya lebih efektif. Strategi belajar kali ini adalah Use Images atau gunakan gambar. Ketika kita mendengarkan arah, gambar di pikiran kita atau di layar atau kertas bisa membantu memahami arah lebih baik. Ini contohnya.

Marcos ingin pergi ke rumah temannya, Lucia. Ia meminta Lucia memberikan arah. Sambil mendengarkan, ia menggambar peta di kertas. Lucia mengatakan, "Turn right at the supermarket." Marcos menggambar kota dengan tulisan 'S' di petanya. Ia menggambar tanda panah (=>) ke kanan. Ketika ia berjalan ke rumah Lucia, ia memikirkan peta itu. Ia ingat supermarket dan tanda panahnya. Ia belok kanan dan menemukan rumah Lucia.
