Study Strategies For Lifelong Learning

What's the difference between studying hard and studying smart? Why do some "good" students do so poorly on homework and tests? What instruction methods will encourage students to take a more active role in their learning? Richly illustrated with inventive teaching activities and lively vignettes, this volume answers those questions with an empirically-validated and classroom-tested model of strategic learning.

This Division 15 series, "Psychology in the Classroom", is geared toward elementary, middle, and high school teachers. This series encourages teachers to base daily classroom practices on sound principles derived from the latest educational psychology research. The series bridges the gap between theory and practice, with each book including real-life case illustrations, sample classroom activities, self-study questions, and suggested readings.
