Evaluate study habits
One of the way to better teach your student is to evaluate there study habbits
The study habits are key. I encourage students to find out how they learn and to build on their strengths and still challenge their weaknesses. I explain that the brain is like a path in a dense field, the more you cross the field, the more worn the path becomes. The learning gets stronger in the brain from only 1 way and that is practice and making time for it to sink into deeper levels of memory. It's basic, but the students always like this analogy and it demystifies how we really learn to retain information.
General educations should teach students study skills and note taking
It would be hard to evaluate a learners study habits with accuracy.
Tartesa, I agree with your statement. Unfortunately, most students learn how to study after they have completed their formal education.
