How to Study and Teaching How to Study

A practical guide examining why many young people lack effective study habits and outlining eight principal factors that shape productive study: specific purpose, supplementing thought, organization of ideas, judging soundness, memorizing, applying ideas, a tentative attitude toward knowledge, and provision for individuality. The book surveys common faulty practices and empirical observations, analyzes each factor's nature and its relation to children, and offers classroom strategies and exercises to develop study skills. The concluding discussion synthesizes these elements, defines the fuller meaning of study, and advises teachers on fostering independent, reflective learners through purposeful tasks and differentiated instruction.
