This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Religous Studies and refers to the religion of ** Buddhism**. The workbook is suitable for all specifications and is designed for the ‘Beliefs / Teachings / Practices’ component of GCSE Religious Studies courses. The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning. The videos refer to a broad range of topics relevant to the study of the religion. The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence. Over time some of the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

The development of study skills is a crucial aspect of self-regulated learning for students. Self-regulated learning refers to the ability to effectively plan, monitor, and evaluate one’s own learning process. By acquiring and honing study skills, students gain the tools necessary to take control of their own education. Study skills enable students to approach their studies with intention and purpose, allowing them to set clear goals, manage their time effectively, and employ effective strategies for comprehension and retention. Additionally, study skills empower students to adapt their learning strategies to suit different subjects and learning environments. By becoming self-regulated learners through the cultivation of study skills, students not only enhance their academic performance but also develop valuable lifelong skills that can be applied in various aspects of their personal and professional lives. ** This collection of teaching resources and lesson plans will help your students to develop their study skills!**

Target-Setting, Metacognition & Self-Regulate Learning Target-setting in the classroom can help to boost metacognition and self-regulated learning by providing students with clear goals and objectives that they can work towards. When students have a clear understanding of what they are working towards, they are more likely to engage in self-regulated learning behaviors such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating their own learning progress. This can help students to develop a better understanding of their own learning processes and how they can improve their performance over time. Additionally, target-setting can help to promote metacognition by encouraging students to reflect on their own learning progress and identify areas where they need to improve. By setting targets that are challenging but achievable, students can develop a sense of ownership over their own learning and become more motivated to succeed.
