The BRAINBOOSTER project an educational
activity dedicated to the students of the first
grade of high school, aiming at reducing school
dispersion, assuring a transversal skill recovery
and promoting school achievements. With this
objective in mind, an integrating course for
improving the study methods was established. It
also focused on the management of the study
activity from a quantitative and qualitative
point of view, with the conviction that once new
methods are learned and applied for one
discipline this method can be used also on the
other fields of activity.
15
The BRAINBOOSTER PROJECT has three steps 1)
Introduction to fast reading This phase
concentrates on correcting reading shortcomings
that a great number of persons have. Afterwards,
techniques for improving reading speed are
offered this improves the study time and
concentration ability, particularly in the first
phase of reading and revision.

students gain awareness of the mechanisms that
manage the accumulation of information that can
be used during study activities and examinations.

Conclusive reflection lets no turn methodology
in a fetish'

• What drives the master of a dog to go out on a
  winter morning at 6 a.m.?

  efficient)
• Superego dimension
• Social utility dimension
• Motivation is simpler to be lived emphatically
  and not to impose it!
