1. Pre-reading, initial general reading
2. Reading of analysis and synthesis
3. Study of assimilation and memorization
4. Review and verification of the level of learning achieved
5. Outline, definitive and personal synthesis.
6. Review to maintain the level of acquired learning
1. Prereading: It is a quick initial reading to get a generalized idea about it.
what we read relates what we are reading to the information we have from readings
previously, attention should be primarily given to titles, sections, divisions,
typographic variations, etc. In this reading process, questions should be asked, such as
for example, what do I know about this topic?, what position do I adopt on this topic?, what can I
to learn about this topic? What importance do I give it? Self-questions promote the
learning, as they organize it, proposing goals and turning what we are
studying something with special meaning. In this first step, no more than should be used
15 or 30 Minutes
2. Reading of analysis and synthesis: It is a thorough, conscious, and active study reading.
this should lead us to the analysis of the important main and secondary ideas, this implies
that should guide the reader to the key terms in the words or phrases underlined by the author,
this is the step that takes the most time since the analysis cannot be done immediately,
that is why more than an hour is required, it must be synthesized as it is understood
paragraph and sections of the topic using tools such as concept maps, underlining
structural, summaries, diagrams or small schemes, this will make the contents
acquire a personal and integrative vision regarding the topic.
3. Study of assimilation and memorization: At this stage, effort must be made.
intensive to internalize through reasoned and comprehensive memorization, the ideas that
previously you had analyzed, in this stage you just need to read the syntheses, summaries, diagrams
And the underlined points of the topic, you must be persistent and repeat as many times as necessary, until
that you are sure not only to understand the ideas, but that the content is already
integrated and retained in his mind. This step, depending on its difficulty, should not exceed 60.
minutes.
4. Review and verification of the degree of learning achieved: This step is for
check, correct, complete, modify and unify, we must ensure that there are no
gaps in what has been studied, check out loud or in writing if you have assimilated and retained it
what had been understood in previous phases, check if the ideas are well corrected, if there are
possible errors, and if the ideas are logically structured, unify and clarify the
content. This step should be brief, no more than 30 minutes.
5. Outline, Final and Personal Synthesis: In this step, a definitive synthesis must be carried out.
I personally always create the definitive outline of the topics where I personally gather
Organize and structure the development of the main ideas, taking advantage of the syntheses.
previously carried out. The final scheme is the best guarantee for retention.
reasoned from what was read, this makes it a very useful tool for reviewing and preparing
the exams.
6. Review to maintain the level of acquired learning: Reviewing is not learning, as
assume what was learned previously, it is the part where it is dedicated to reinforce and preserve the
what had been learned, I used the definitive scheme so as not to need to go back
read all the pages, relate readings, integrate the new known data, and formulate
possible exam questions to check the quality of your answers.
It is possible that, at first glance, the PLERER method and the entire set
the demands for the development of a study session may seem complex and difficult. It is
It's true that it will take him more time than studying halfway. He has to see the results.
short term: without a doubt, you need to spend more time studying a subject according to the method
PLERER. But there is no doubt that the time spent studying will lead him to a
effective learning.
