Study time is an essential part of the all-day programme at SIS Ingolstadt. Study time provides students with the opportunity to hone their skills, check their understanding and practise.
Study time activities vary significantly, particularly between younger and older students, and they may include home reading activities, longer projects or essays, or more directed and focused work such as revision for tests. In all cases, a teacher is on hand for support. However, we encourage students to become increasingly independent in order to equip them with a skill set for lifelong learning. Being able to be resourceful and organise yourself is a learned habit that will come in handy at university as much as in everyday life.
To maximise the impact of learning in a classroom, study time builds on lesson contents and provides extension work to support and challenge the students. Additionally, it allows them to reflect upon their work, identifying their own strengths and weaknesses.
The independent work accomplished during study time boosts students’ motivation and confidence, thus improving their performance.
During study time at SIS, students have access to a number of resources, i.e. tablets, laptops, the library, and a teacher. But not only students benefit from study time. The work produced during study time provides their teachers with an insight into students’ understanding and enables them to adapt their teaching and to provide differentiated learning material.
It is quite astonishing to visit classrooms during study time and see motivated students working in a calm fashion, enabling every single person in the room to make the most of the last session of the day.
As our students learn in an all-day school setting, they should be able to enjoy family life when they leave school after study time. This is an aspect both parents and children enjoy.
