Learning is a life-long activity. We must continually acquire new
knowledge to adapt to new situations. Effective life-long learning
skills are critical to success in school or at work. In school we
are taught what to learn, but seldom how to learn. Very few
students are aware of how they learn best and why, or how to
efficiently and effectively apply appropriate learning and study
strategies. When faced with increasingly challenging material to
learn, students usually don't know where or how to begin,
parents are often unsure how to help, and teachers have
little time and few effective materials to teach students good
study skills. Trying to learn the more difficult information and
the needed study skills at the same time too often lead to
overwhelming frustration and failure. Knowing how to attack a
learning activity is the first step to understanding its content.
From the classroom to the work place. the need to learn never
ends.
