THE INVESTIGATION OF STUDY STRATEGIES THAT MAXIMIZE LEARNING FOR UNDERPREPARED STUDENTS.

Research has consistently found that college students, especially freshmen, are not independent learners. To help students become self-regulated learners, reading and study skills courses as well as academic assistance programs should be designed to address this concern. Students must develop an inventory of study strategies that can be selectively employed to meet the particular demands of the materials and assignments involved. The purpose of this study is to review several study strategies and to analyze which strategies correlated with test performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
