Shape Your Habits, Sharpen Your Memory
The inconsistent nature of motivation and willpower are often unreliable sources for successfully attaining goals. Learning outcomes are influenced by significant factors relating to study skills, memory processes and biological aspects of learning. This workshop aims to highlight these factors alongside current habit theories and approaches applicable for making necessary behavioral changes. It is anticipated that creatures of habit change, the participants, successfully engage and apply this knowledge to their teaching contexts and specific needs.
