Study Skills and
Executive Functioning

A Comprehensive Overview

Study Skills and Executive Functioning Programme

What are Study Skills?

In education, study skills form a toolkit for students to enhance learning and academic success. Beyond memorisation, these strategies include time management, effective note-taking, active reading, critical thinking, and organisation. Developing these skills enables students to absorb information efficiently, connect concepts, and apply knowledge in a variety of scenarios.

​

Furthermore, study skills apply to exam preparation, aiding students in mastering techniques like creating study schedules, practicing past papers, and handling test anxiety. The ability to adjust and improve study skills based on personal learning styles and subject requirements is vital. Ultimately, refining these skills not only supports academic success but also instills a lifelong dedication to learning and self-improvement.

What is Executive Functioning?

In education, executive functioning is crucial for learning, problem-solving, and achieving goals. It includes regulating thoughts, actions, and emotions, with key elements like working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control in focus. Acknowledged as vital for academic success, executive functioning enables students to skilfully plan, organise, initiate tasks, set goals, prioritise, and self-monitor. It acts as a personalised guide, helping individuals navigate challenges and fostering holistic growth.

​

Moreover, executive functioning extends beyond academics, influencing a student's social interactions, emotional regulation, and time management. Those with strong skills handle the demands of an ever-changing educational environment more adeptly. On the flip side, challenges in executive functioning may surface as difficulties in focusing, completing assignments, effective time management, and maintaining organised study habits. Recognising and supporting the development of these skills is vital for fostering a positive and successful educational experience.
