It should not be difficult for you to complete the course if you plan your work schedule carefully if you practice some what systematic way of student the print material much of you job will become easy .The counsellors shall give you after suggestions at the times of personal contact programs to make your studies easy and interesting.

We understand that you have domestic and social commitment to attend to. Most of you are working in some schools, colleges or other institutes or work places, You may not have ample of time for studying .But it is possible to have some time regularly for your studies, convince you colleagues and family member that you need some privacy to study and stick to a regular time table. As soon As you receive the study materials start working on it and don’t postpone studying the materials or writing your assignments / responses.

We request you should know the techniques of self study. Your study material contain a lengthy reading list for reference purpose and for deeper understanding of the content one strategy that gained wide acceptance is the SQ3R technique.

SQ3R stands for the initial letters of the five steps in studying text .The five steps are

i) Survey, ii) Question, iii) Read, iv) Recall, v) Review

i) Survey :

Survey refers to the quick glance through the title page, preface ,chapter heading etc. of a text book, Surveying a text help the grasps the Ideas, A glance at the title Page may give you.

• The general subject area
• The level of approach
• The author’s name and
• The date and place of publication

Preface helps you decide whether or not the deserves your attention, contents tell you what topics the author is dealing with and how he has organized the themes. An index survey will tell you instantly whether or not text contains what you need. It also helps you save time and efforts by directing you straight to relevant pages.

ii) Question:

Your survey of the text will raise in you some questions, For example glancing at the title page, preface and contents, you might ask yourself:

How far can I depend on this book?
Will the book be helpful to me as preface suggests?
Why should the author devote a whole chapter for such and topic?
Having made your survey and started to question you are now ready for reading the text

iii) Read:

Reading a text material demands a critical mind. When we read a text, we apply our mind with its critical skills. Unless we read actively the questions which have been formulated cannot be answered satisfactorily.

• It is advisable to make notes at this stage.
• This is not the stage to underline words or phrases either.

Keeping these two points in view, what perhaps, we can do at the first reading is just look for the main ideas and the supporting details.

iv) Recall:

Reading a text is not the final step in learning. It is instead, the first step in Learning .What is read needs to be recalled for retention. Regular attempts to recall will help improve our learning in three ways (i) better concentration (ii) Chance to remedy misinterpretation and (iii) reactive reading .How often to recall chiefly depends on ‘how good’ a reader you are.

v) Review:

The purpose of reviewing is to check the validity of our recall. The best way to this is to do a quick repeat of the other four steps i.e. Survey, Question .Read and you Recall.

Although the steps of SQ3R are in the logical and natural order there may be overlapping and repetitions between them. Since Distance Education students have to work on their own most of the during their academic career, in this situation study skills become very important.
