Study skills for the oppositions of Prisons Assistant

Some have written me asking me tell you some techniques for the study of using staff to deal with this opposition.

In this first installment I will tell you my favorite. It is a mnemonic technique that extracted from the book "Memory Techniques for opposition." This is a book specializing in the application of techniques to retain information in the study of oppositions. Also interesting thing is that the book is written by a person who applied in the study of an opposition and it worked.

But to the point. This technique is known as "stories" and applies when we have to memorize certain terms that we consider very important and mandatory training.

I put a clear example. In my view, one of these lists of terms that we know are the principles of organization of the General State Administration:

Funcional.Desconcentración Jerarquía.Descentralización territorial.Economía functional, strict sufficiency and adequacy of means to ends institucionales.Simplicidad, clarity and proximity to the ciudadanos.Coordinación.Aprender these terms at first glance may be easy, but considering that we must study more than 50 issues and will probably have to deal with more listings of this type, it is advisable to use a technique that facilitates the work.

Here comes the technique memorization of stories. It simply consists of creating a story linking the terms of the listing that we find it entertaining and easily digestible. It is shown that the more rare and extraordinary is the story, the easier it will be remembered.

Will be thinking it's pretty hard to create a story with these palabas so technical. The solution is to use a word or short phrase easier to remember and that we can refer to the original, although a priori have no connection. This is the most complex and need to have imagination. In my case I used the following:

Hierarchy -> functional organigramaDescentralización -> typical graph pie-shaped functional presentations and territorial estadísticasDesconcentración -> map of Spain divided into sectoresEconomía, strict sufficiency and adequacy of the institutional means to ends -> person tacañaSimplicidad, clarity and proximity to citizens -> person simpleCoordinación -> empresaY coordinator of a history that created was so easy.

"The coordinator of the department, which was a very simple and stingy, showed us a presentation in which we could see the organizational chart, a pie with the representation of employees from each of the departments of the company and a map Spain with the company's presence in the different autonomous communities "

Most will be thinking that this is nonsense and can be more difficult to create the story to memorize all the terms. Of course, is what I thought at first, but this technique works and what I have seen personally.

It involves more effort at first, but it will be much easier to remember.

You must bear in mind two important things:

Knowing that the test is multiple choice, no need to learn the text as it is, I just remember a word of each of the principles in order to select the correct option. For example, in the beginning "and" simple enough for me to recall one of the principles, but then have more terms. It is rare that the review terms of mixing two different options for rolling the opponent. The highlighted words in bold are the ones I used to create the terms I use in my historia.Las words that I used to assemble the story have occurred to me to me, but maybe you'll come to some entirely different and form a story that has nothing to do. The important thing is they can remember facilidad.Así, when asked about this matter, have associated the history and remember easily, able to respond more safely.

I hope this technique will be useful. Please do not hesitate to ask your questions and comments on this entry.
