▪Moderate concentration;it lasts for the second 30 min
▪low concentration; it lasts for 15 min
There are 7 factors that make students loose concentration when studying( studying apetite)
1.Poor organisation is one among the major leading factor for this. Plan how your study will be, put on the table what you ought to study only(single subject based materials), study for two hours only and break after every 45 min and when you break make sure that you drink a glass of water and walk around for 10 min.
2.Internal distraction also contributes to poor organisation as in fully eating, family conflict or being hungry. Make sure that you eat 30 min before start studying.
3.External distraction; always study in a cool place, out of noise with fresh air, this will make you last longer with your studying plan.
4.lack of motivation also affects students concentration, you should know why you study and if you get good uttered words from your parents to your ecademic journey, will give you an endless courage. Always remind yourself about your dream and ambition you want to achieve in life, if you think of it even if you miss motivation from external world you will always have a reason for studying.
5.Possess a dictionary when studying:this will make you be in mood all the time as you will be familiar with most of what you study through the aid of dictionary especially cumbersome vocabularies. Otherwise you will get tired easily as you face difficult words particularly when studying literature(literary works) and biology.
6.Chair and table, as you sit for studying, make sure that your table is 20 cm above the seat you have sat on and your chair should be neither hard nor soft for that you will have a high concentration.
7 . light; use brighter light when studying and it is advised by Educational psychologists that the light should come opposite to the hand you write, over your shoulder for that you will mantain concentration.
How can you assess if your concentration is still high;
1.To try to write on the piece of paper what you studied(sub vocal) if it is remembered then your concentration is still high and you can proced and if you remember partially what you had studied that means you concentration is low.
2.To try to articulate aloud what you had studied and this helps your tongue to be familiar with words as in pronunciation and memorization, if you still remember then your concentration is high.
3.Count from 20 to 1 (20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14,13 ,12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) three times in a moderate speed, if you count them correctly that's means your concentration is good.
