Description
This volume reflects current research on the cognitive strategies of autonomous learning. Topics such as metacognition, attribution theory, self-efficacy, direct instruction, attention, and problem solving are discussed by leading researchers in learning and study strategies. The contributors to this volume acknowledge and address the concerns of educators at the primary, secondary, and postsecondary school levels. The blend of theory and practice is an important feature of this volume.
Reviews / Votes
"A stimulating four-part volume that breaks new ground regarding the attributes of strategies, assessment techniques, and strategy instruction...Several features are desired of edited books, particularly those that deal with both learning and instruction and that emerge from a conference, as this one does. Two of these features are that the discussion of theory and practice is balanced and that the authors are experts in their fields. This book meets these criteria admirably."--CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY
