5 Ideal Places to Study

Posted: Dec 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

If you could study anywhere where would it be? In a park, a coffee shop, your bed maybe? Wouldn't it be great if every time we learnt something new we could learn it in a relevant environment? Like a gallery to learn about art, or an aquarium to learn about marine life? When we're young we often get to go on field trips but, as they take time, money, and planning, we don't get to go nearly enough.

Some popular places to study are:

1. Outside (anywhere):

Being outdoors in the fresh air is great for clearing your mind and keeping you focused. Moreover, you are surrounded by nature, people, and architecture, all of which can help stimulate ideas and help you get creative.

2. An art gallery or museum:

Learning about art or history in these environments is an obvious reason to go. But galleries and museums are also quiet places to work, and when surrounded by famous paintings or artefacts, we are often inspired to put out our best work. There's something about being around geniuses (dead or alive) that makes ordinary people want to be extraordinary.

3. Coffee shops:

What is it about coffee shop culture that draws crowds of people in, namely students and the self-employed? The unlimited availability of caffeinated products might have something to do with it! Those facing cabin fever often head to coffee shops where they can focus on their work but still be amongst other people.

4. Libraries:

School or small local libraries are a nice place to go to get some work done. However, they are not usually equipped with as many resources as some people might like, especially students working on thesis papers and dissertations. With a copy of every book ever published in Britain, visitors of The British Library will never face that dilemma. Again, being amongst that much literature does wonders for the imagination and motivation.

5. Bed!:

While bed may not be the best place to get a lot of work done (it's way too easy to fall asleep), it is a great place to catch up on reading or even do preliminary research for a big paper. After endless days of sitting upright on a chair, spreading out your books around you in a comfortable space can be exactly what you need to start working.

While some people don't mind learning in a busy environment, most people prefer peace and quiet. Writers like to escape to their log cabins where they can focus on nothing but their work. Students tune out the whispers of libraries by playing Mozart on their iPods. Freelancers sit outside and let nature inspire their next great idea. Where do you like to study most?

    The technique of classroom meetings help students make better choices. These meetings can have a positive impact upon the participant’s sense of belonging, power, freedom, and enjoyment. The teacher (classroom facilitator) must understand that the classroom meeting is not a forum used for their discipline purposes. It is truly an opportunity to observe the practice of ‘dignity, respect, and understanding’.
