Cramming (education) and Procastination

Revisando, algunos de los malos hábitos a la hora de estudiar, encontré el termino de CRAMMING / TO CRAM, el cual me llamó la atención por que es bien reconocido este tipo de actitud de los estudiantes.


1. In education, cramming (also known as mugging or swotting, from swot, cognate to "sweat", meaning "to study with determination") is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of informational material in short amounts of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams. Cramming is often discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of material tends to result in poor long-term retention of material. Tomado de Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


2. Cramming is never advisable. This is the major cause of mental block. If you really want to learn, then you have to study everyday. Medical subjects are very interesting. Imagine learning about the circulatory system; how blood is transported to the left and right auricle and ventricles and back to the body cells. Isn't that awesome? Develop a genuine interest in your subjects and you'll be motivated to learn more. Tomado de * Study skills for medical school students  by Virginia Gaces


Otro término que encontre es Procrastination In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.  tomado de oxforddictionaries.com

He estado pensando en estos dos conceptos... Muy interesantes para explorar en los estudiantes
