This book is the second, updated and expanded edition of the Learn how to study programme. It has had extraordinary success in its seven years of life.
The program has had such an extraordinary success in the past years, that it has been recently updated with over 100 new pages based upon extensive research recently conducted and on new learning methods, including the use of Internet, in order to provide a solution to one of the most common problems pupils have, that is identify an effective and motivating study method which enables a correct attitude towards learning. To this end, the MT Group at University of Padova, after years of experimentation in the last classes of primary school and in secondary school, has created a specific program aimed at providing a repertoire of strategies to learn how to study and making the students able to use them successfully in various subjects. Through a wide range of working materials and activities related to different “strategic” areas and a detailed questionnaire to evaluate the thinking and cognitive style of each student, the book gives the teacher the opportunity to grow out of each pupil an awareness of his/her qualities and the ability to use them to achieve the best learning possible.
The book also contains a detailed questionnaire evaluating pupils’ thought characteristics and cognitive styles.
