What Is The SQ3R Method? Implementation And Benefits In Learning

YOGYAKARTA - In the learning process, choosing the right strategy is very decisive in understanding and remembering information. One method that has proven effective and has been used by many students around the world is the SQ3R method. What is the SQ3R method and how does it implement?

The SQ3R method is an active learning technique designed to help students understand reading in depth, not just memorizing. SQ3R is very useful especially in reading information-intensive texts such as textbooks, scientific articles, and other academic reading materials.

This understanding of SQ3R is very important for teachers or educators, as well as students or students. So that the learning process can be more effective and in-depth, let's understand what the SQ3R method is and the steps to do it.

SQ3R stands for five main steps: Survey, Quetion, Read, Recite, and Review. This method was first developed by Francis P. Robinson, an education psychologist from the United States, in 1946.

Until now, this method is still relevant and is a mainstay in the world of education. The SQ3R learning method is very useful in improving understanding reading and long-term information retention.

The following are several stages or steps in carrying out the SQ3R method for learning:

The first step in the SQ3R method is to conduct a survey or review of the text to be studied. This process does not mean reading in detail, but rather to glimpse key parts such as title, title, subjudule, summary, image, table, and main points.

The goal is to get an overview of the topics to be read. By first reviewing, the brain begins to shape the structure of the initial knowledge so that when reading more deeply. In this way, information that comes in will be easier to understand and understand.

After conducting an initial review, the next stage is asking questions based on the information that has been seen. For example, if the title is 'Heart Function in the Body', then the question that can be made is 'What are the functions of the heart in the human body?'.

This step aims to build curiosity and increase focus when reading. This question will serve as a guide during reading, so that the learning process becomes more focused.

The third stage is to read text thoroughly to find answers to previously created questions. At this stage, readers are required to be active and not just passive reading.

Reading is done with full attention, seeking important information, and marking or recording relevant important points. Reading with the aim of (looking for answers to questions) makes the process of understanding text more effective and efficient.

After reading, the next step is to repeat or re-explain in their own words about what has been learned. This can be done by speaking directly (in voice) or writing it in summary.

This step aims to strengthen memory and ensure that information is actually understood, not just read and then forgotten. By repeating information, the brain works more actively in building connections between concepts.

The last step in the SQ3R method is to review all the materials that have been studied. This can be done hours or even days after the first study session. The goal is to strengthen memory and ensure long-term understanding.

This review can include re-reading the summary, re-answering questions, or discussing with friends. This activity is very helpful in transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory.

The SQ3R method has many benefits in the learning process or education. Here are a number of benefits from the SQ3R method that you need to know:

That's a review of what the SQ3R method is and its application. This method is able to improve understanding and memory of the materials studied. Also read various learning methods that must be known by teachers.
