The reason why you can't concentrate is because lack of interest. So maybe try going in depth about the topic, like doing some research outside of class and try to find something you like about it. Try to get interested in it, even if you have to fake it.
Motivation always works. What I do when I can't do homework is this- I'll sit at my desk and put everything away. cell phone, music, tv all of that should be away. just close your eyes for 2 minutes and rub your head/temples and even hum a little if you need to. then look at the paper/homework/notes whatever and read the topic slowly and then pause and interpret what you just read and try to study off that. It really helps if you go slowly. If you try to rush, you won't learn anything and your concentration will be about finishing the task, rather than learning it.
Reward yourself! If you feel like you learned something, then reward yourself by taking a break, watching your favorite show, eating chocolate, hanging out with friends. whatever you like to do.
then after 20 minutes, go back and study some more. its better to study with a few breaks in between rather than cramming everything and getting stressed out from it.
