Space repetition method – Best “tips” for the exam season

 

Exam season has come very close. How far have UTS-ers reviewed? Has anyone ever memorized a lot the night before, only to forget a lot the next morning, leaving us extremely confused while reviewing and also while sitting the exam? UTS has found the “key” to overcome this problem, which is to use the method of spaced repetition. Thanks to this method, we have reviewed almost all the lessons and still remember them for a long time. Let UTS reveal to you a little about the method of spaced repetition.

The method of spaced repetition is applied based on the psychological effect of interruption, as defined by Hermann Ebbinghaus, a famous German Psychologist. His research shows that the set of knowledge we learn in a certain period of time will be memorized in people’s short-term memories and quickly forgotten, just like in our review story. But when we repeat the same content many times at different times, our brain will put that amount of information into long-term memory, helping us remember longer.

UTS will give a specific example. Normally we need 1 night to learn all the knowledge needed for the next day’s exam, but when using the spaced repetition method, you only need 30 minutes to study in the morning. At noon, 10 minutes of review in the evening, and 10 minutes of re-reading the next morning, in total, we only need about 40 minutes to remember the knowledge clearly, effectively, and long-term. This method can help you memorize a large amount of information and store it for a long time.

 

The spaced repetition method can be applied and is effective in many different subjects and contexts. However, this method has a special impact when used to study and practice language subjects. A concrete example is learning vocabulary while learning a new language.

The above is one of the “secrets” of UTS during the exam season as it helps to save a lot of time in studying. UTS hopes this sharing can help you build an effective way to study and be ready for the upcoming exam. Wish you flying colors!

What Is Project-Based Learning? Exploring a Modern Educational Approach at UTS

In the context of today’s constantly evolving education landscape, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become one of the approaches adopted by many international schools to support students’ holistic development. At UTS International School of South America, students do not only acquire knowledge from textbooks, but also take part in real-world projects, actively explore ideas, and create their own learning products. So, what is project-based learning, and how is it applied to optimise students’ learning outcomes? This article will help parents and students better understand this learning model. What Is Project-Based Learning (PBL)? Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centred educational approach in which students actively explore, research, and solve real-world problems through learning projects. Instead of only learning theories, students combine knowledge with practical experiences to develop thinking skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.. Project-Based Learning is becoming increasingly popular in modern education The 5-Step Cycle of a Learning Project (*) A learning project following the Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach is often implemented through a clear process, helping students gradually transform knowledge into practical products. Below are the key steps: Step 1: Identifying Ideas and Driving Questions Students begin with a real-world problem or a guiding question under the teacher’s guidance, then define the goals and scope of the project. Step 2: Planning and In-Depth Research Students divide tasks, search for information, analyse data, and develop a suitable implementation plan. This stage requires students to apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Step 3: Implementation, Testing, and Adjustment During the implementation process, students apply what they have learned, test their solutions, and improve their products based on feedback. Step 4: Completing the Practical Product Based on their ideas and research outcomes, students complete products that can be presented, applied, or shared with others. Students create practical models and products in each project Step 5:
