Abstract: Sheets, R. A., & Rings, S. (1989). Ideas in Practice: Tailor-Made Study Strategies: A Success Story! Journal of Developmental Education.12(3), 22-24.

Study strategies are typically taught in a setting isolated from students' actual learning tasks, even though research indicates that many students don't transfer these strategies to their content courses. This article describes an approach in which the direct instruction of study strategies took place within the content courses. Learning Assistance Center staff met with individual instructors to plan together the teaching of applicable study strategies in their specific courses. The Learning Assistance Center staff then taught the agreed-upon study strategies during a regularly-scheduled class session, with the course instructor participating. Instructors who participated in this approach felt the workshops were effective; as a result, instructors in other programs also became involved in providing relevant study strategies to their students within the context of their classes.
