Flashcards Method of Studying

By -

 Flashcards is a method of studying used universally by students in schools and colleges around the world. It can be used effectively by a 3-year-old and a 23-year-old. Be it a second-grader, a law student, a medical student or an engineering student. They could be studying history, German, physics, mechatronics, patent law or pediatrics. The method works very well for ALL!


Method

One may look at FlashCardz as a bunch of questions in a deck or a question bank. The method is important. Though the content has to be comprehensive, it is not enough. It is the combination of the content and the method that is extremely powerful. It is an added bonus that the children don’t have to make the content by themselves and have the entire curriculum readymade at the tips of their fingers or rather touch of their finger-tips.

Mental Health

As it is, the children in our Indian system of education have little time as they are loaded with studies. Using the FlashCardz method is a wonderful way to find time to relax, play and take more breaks for the sake of our children’s mental health. There are estimates that suggest that compared to conventional methods, one can learn twice as fast with flashcards.

Flashcards are mobile-literally! They can be taken anywhere and used anywhere.

Good Study Habits

For those subjects which the FlashCardz system does not cover, the children should try and create their own cards. It will go a long way in setting good study habits.

This video will give you some more insights into why flashcards work, and how to make them an integral part of your self-study routine. The big challenge is, where do you get all these flashcards that are comprehensive and based 100% on your syllabus? Try FlashCardz after you see this video.

For the last 14 years my son Siddharth has been learning to play the violin at the Suzuki school of violin in Pune. The school is run by the brilliant Ms. Rama Chobhe, a highly accomplished musician and teacher. In many ways this is a music school like no other, and I am going to list just three of its unique features. A parent must attend every class with the child, and help with the child's practice at home. In a sense the parent learns music with the child, though they do not play the instrument. There are no exams. A student progresses by learning one "book" at a time, each one encompassing more advanced techniques than the previous book. The culmination of a book is a compulsory "graduation concert", a public performance by the graduating students. Though the bulk of a graduation concert is taken up by the graduating students, every student of the school must participate in a group performance at these concerts. The school encourages and facilita
