The resource draws on pedagogical approaches such as: reflective learning, independent learning, metacognition and self-regulated learning.
The development of study skills is a crucial aspect of self-regulated learning for students. Self-regulated learning refers to the ability to effectively plan, monitor, and evaluate one's own learning process. By acquiring and honing study skills, students gain the tools necessary to take control of their own education.
Study skills enable students to approach their studies with intention and purpose, allowing them to set clear goals, manage their time effectively, and employ effective strategies for comprehension and retention. Additionally, study skills empower students to adapt their learning strategies to suit different subjects and learning environments. By becoming self-regulated learners through the cultivation of study skills, students not only enhance their academic performance but also develop valuable lifelong skills that can be applied in various aspects of their personal and professional lives.
This collection of teaching resources and lesson plans will help your students to develop their study skills!
