Learning Strategies

Specific actions that are helpful for learners to achieve success in learning, and they are usually chosen according to the student’s learning style.
There is not a single strategy that is better than the others. It has to be adapted to each student learning style, the way he or she acquires better new information.

Learning strategies can be useful if the students are taught how to use them properly. A student that is outgoing will learn more through interacting with the classmates, while a shy student can learn more doing activities by him or herself.
