Dear educators
You all know that there is lot of learning required in this subject . Students
often complaint that it becomes very difficult for them to learn explanations
and remember all heading and sub heading . Also during exam they don’t remember
those headings .
We can guide our
students by telling them that :
·
Explanations can be in your own words but you need to remember the main
headings
·
The use Acronyms and Mnemonics can help you learn headings .
Use
of Acronyms and Mnemonics can help you to remember things better. It also
makes it easier for you to recall that information later. They are also
the most effective for forming strong long term memories.
Also tell them about
cautions to use them
But
these techniques should be used with caution .Do not make use of them for everything. Use them only where you feel problem in learning or there are lot of points and sub-points to remember.
Introduce the Acronyms and Mnemonics
An
acronym is a pronounceable word formed by the first
letters of a phrase.
Acronyms can be used to remember a list of words. When you were little, you were probably taught that VIBGYOR will help you remember rainbow colors in order which are : Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange Red

· An
acronym is a word that is formed from the first letter of each fact to be
remembered.
· It
can be a real word or a nonsense word you are able to pronounce.
· It
can be used to remember things in order or otherwise
