Abstract
Physics instructors, especially those who are new to teaching, often have a strong background in their field but limited knowledge of educational theory. This work aims to address this issue by providing a summary of learning strategies utilized by students, along with their key advantages and disadvantages, in a clear and concise manner. The focus is on techniques that promote efficient time utilization and active thinking among students. In addition to summarizing various learning strategies, this work also offers recommendations and practical examples of how these strategies can be implemented in the classroom. The intention is to provide instructors with actionable insights that can enhance their teaching methods and improve student engagement and understanding. It is worth noting that while this work specifically focuses on physics education, the knowledge and strategies presented can be applied by instructors in other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields as well. By incorporating these effective learning strategies into their teaching practices, instructors in various STEM disciplines can create a more engaging and productive learning environment for their students.
