Instructional Implications: Developing General Knowledge of the Learning Process

Students who have knowledge about study and memorization techniques can be expected to know what these techniques are, how they can be performed, and when they can be used. Since knowledge of study techniques is often taught to students in secondary and higher education and is also considered to be essential for the development of general knowledge of the learning process, this chapter will begin with an overview of frequently used study techniques. Next, the role of both study and memorization techniques in general knowledge of the learning process will be described, after which the instructional guidelines that can help students to develop general knowledge of the learning process and to learn to direct their learning will be presented.
