Teaching How to Learn
The Teacher's Guide to Student Success
- Kenneth A. Kiewra - University of Nebraska at Lincoln, USA
Discover how you can both strengthen instruction and help students acquire successful learning strategies by using the tested SOAR approach to: select key lesson ideas; organize information using comparative charts and other representations rather than lists or outlines; associate ideas to create meaningful, memorable relationships; and regulate and reinforce learning through practice testing. Teachers will find:
Detailed explanations for using each SOAR teaching strategy
Guidelines for fostering student self-motivation and behavior self-management
Methods for embedding student learning techniques within content instruction to develop students' capacity to learn in any setting
Excellent read!
Presented in a clear, simple and enaging manner (the use of humour very good).
One of the best books I've read on the subject.
