and responsibilities in a changing world. The vision of the Policy is to instil among the learners a deep-rooted pride

6.5 SELF STUDY TECHNIQUES
Since this programme is offered through Distance Education mode, it is quite likely that some of
you may be wondering how to complete the programme successfully ?
It should not be difficult for you to complete the course if you plan your work schedule carefully.
If you practise a somewhat systematic way of studying the print materials, much of your job will
become easy. We shall give you a few suggestions to make your studies easy and interesting.
56
We understand that you have many domestic and social commitments to attend to. Most of you
are working in some schools, colleges or other institutes or workplaces. You may not have ample
time for studying. But it is possible to have some time regularly for your studies. Convince your
colleagues and family members that you need some privacy to study and stick to a regular time
table. As soon as you receive the study materials start-working on it and don’t postpone studying
the materials or writing your assignments/responses.
We suggest you should know the techniques of self study. Your study materials contain a lengthy
reading list for reference purpose and for deeper understanding of the content. One strategy that
gained wide acceptance is the SQ3R technique;
SQ3R stands for the initial letters of the five steps in studying text.
The five steps are:
(i) Survey
(ii) Question
(iii) Read
(iv) Recall
(v) Review
Survey
Survey refers to the quick glance through the title page, preface, chapter headings, etc. of a
textbook. Surveying a text helps the Students grasp the main ideas. A glance at the title page may
give you.
(i) The general subject area
(ii) The level of approach
(iii) The author’s name
(iv) The date and place of publication
Preface helps you decide whether or not the book deserves your attention. Contents tell you what
topics the author is dealing with and how he has organised the themes. An index survey will tell
you instantly whether or not the text contains what you need. It also helps you save time and effort
by directing you straight to the relevant pages.
Question
Your survey of the text will raise some questions. For example, glancing at the title page, preface
and contents, you might ask yourself:
How far can I depend on this book?
Will the book be helpful to me as its preface suggests?
Why should the author devote a whole chapter for such and such a topic?
Having made your survey and started to question, you are now ready for reading the text.
Read
57
Reading text material demands a critical mind. When we read a text, we apply our mind with all
its critical skills. Unless we read actively the questions which have been formulated cannot be
answered satisfactorily.
It is not advisable to make notes at this stage.
This is not the stage to underline words or phrases either.
Keeping these two points in view, what perhaps we can do at the first reading is just to look for
the main ideas and the supporting details.
Recall
Reading a text is not the final step in learning. It is, instead, the first step in learning. What is read
needs to be recalled for intention. Regular attempts to recall will help improve our learning in
three ways
(i) better concentration
(ii) chance to remedy misinterpretation
(iii) reactive reading. How often to recall chiefly depends on
‘how good’ a reader you are.
Review
The purpose of reviewing is to check the validity of our recall. The best way to do this is to do a
quick repeat of the other four steps i.e. Survey, Question, Read and Recall.
Although the steps of SQ3R are in the logical and natural order there may be overlapping and
repetitions between them. Since Distance Learning Students have to work on their own most of
the time during their academic career, in this situation, study skills become very important.
