Why take a work methods workshop in secondary school?
The secondary school years are decisive. That's why it's essential to put in place good study methods. At Cogito, we help students to :
- Identify their difficulties.
- Understand their learning preferences.
- Implementing effective strategies.
- Gaining autonomy and confidence.
Our methods: simple, effective, personalised
Our workshops are designed to be accessible to all students. We favour practical, easy-to-use methods. Each student benefits from a personalised approach, adapted to their needs and pace.
The workshop
Contact:
Once the appointment has been made, we send out a questionnaire on the Multiple Intelligences (IM), adapted to the student's age (1-2-3 or 4-5-6). We ask that students complete the test before the session.Needs assessment :
The session begins with a discussion with the student. We try to understand who they are and what their difficulties are.Practical exercise:
Students study two texts in 8 minutes, using a method of their choice. They then answer questions without the texts or their notes in front of them. This stage enables the student's spontaneous method to be analysed.Learning diagrams :
We show how information is easier to remember when it is visual and organised. Then we explain how to create diagrams and plans from the lessons.Keyword selection :
We teach students to identify key words in a text. They can do this on a text about Nomophobia or on a course they send us. If time allows, we start a diagram based on this text.Debriefing the IM test :
We review the results of the Multiple Intelligences test. We then propose methods adapted to the results. We use comparative tables to illustrate these methods.Organisational and anti-procrastination tips :
We share tips for getting organised and avoiding procrastination. We use graphics by Tony Buzan to illustrate these concepts.Stress management and self-confidence:
If necessary, we will address stress management and self-confidence. We adapt the content according to the student's profile and the parents' requests.
