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. |
