As a student, you will need to develop effective approaches to reading. The SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) technique is a time-tested and empirically-validated method that empowers students to engage in active and purposeful reading. It is particularly beneficial for those aiming to enhance their comprehension and retention of complex academic texts. This workshop, tailored for the international student body at the German University, will introduce you to the SQ3R framework and guide you in its practical application to your own study materials.

By integrating this technique into your study routine, you will not only improve your reading efficiency but also deepen your cognitive processing of information. The SQ3R approach involves five sequential steps:

To maximize the benefits of this workshop, we encourage you to bring your own study material relevant to your current academic pursuits. By applying the technique to your personal study content, you will experience its effectiveness firsthand and develop a tailored approach to suit your learning style.
The positive effects of utilizing the SQ3R technique are manifold. Research has demonstrated that active reading strategies, such as SQ3R, lead to significant improvements in learning outcomes. These include:

- Enhanced retention of information
- Improved critical thinking and comprehension skills
- Stronger ability to synthesize and integrate new knowledge with existing cognitive frameworks
- More efficient and effective study habits, leading to better time management
- Increased confidence in navigating through complex and dense academic texts

By participating in this workshop, you will gain a competitive edge in your academic journey and equip yourself with a powerful tool that can be applied across various disciplines. Join us to discover the transformative impact of SQ3R on your reading and learning experience!
