How To Create Ideal Study Spaces

How To Create Ideal Study Spaces. Every student knows that some study spaces are more effective than others. Many students have lots to learn and very little time to do it. But students can create an effective study space wherever they are. But there are some guidelines to follow when designing this space.

The first tip is to have the student pick one place. Moving between many different spaces can be mentally jaring and it will take longer to get into study mode. Having one place will allow the student’s brain to catch on and allow them to get focused faster. This is especially valuable for test studying. Have the student pick a place convenient and also some place they like.

Some students recall information better when they are in an environment similar to the place where they learned the information. By having the student taylor the study environment to where they learned the material and where they will be tested, It could make the study session more effective.

Some students, especially in online schooling, study and work in their PJs while others get fully dressed up. The key to an effective study session is to be comfortable but not too comfortable. Have your student change out of their PJs to help their brain focus on studying and not relaxing.

Natural light is a great thing to add to any study space. It does not have to be a lot but adding natural light is great for any study space.

Light can have a great effect on the study space. Lots of light straight in the student’s eyes can often be painful, but very little light can be just as bad. Have the student pay attention to this and adjust the light position according to their needs.

Some students like to listen to music while they study because it relaxes them. While others find music distracting because they focus more on the music than studying. The solution to this is to swap music with ambient noise or classical music. This removes the distraction of lyrics while keeping the relaxing nature of music.

Plants are great for making the study environment less stressful and improving air quality. Getting a low maintenance house plant can improve the study space.

The phone can be the biggest distraction to students while they study. Have the student turn their phone off or at least on airplane mode so they are not tempted to look through instagram or text messages.

Studying can be stressful so it is important to keep the space positive. Have the student add personal touches to lighten the mood so that their study experience is less stressful.

The student might love the space that they study. But remind them to do other things beside studying outside the study space. By keeping that space only for studying it will preserve the mindset needed for learning.

A study space is very important for learning, so making the right one can help your student on the path to success.
