When and where did I find the word: Study skills was a term found while researching for my reciprocal teaching presentation. I found it in the following article:
Davis, S.J. (1990). Applying content study skills in co-listed reading classrooms. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 33(4), 277-281.
What it means: According to Davis (1990), study skills are a special form of reading that is done in order to perform an identifiable cognitive task.
Level of Familiarity: I have been using study skills throughout my academic career as both a student and a teacher. As I student, I utilize study skills in order to learn new content. As a teacher, I teach students study skills to help them succeed in the classroom.
Do I want to know this word well and tell why? This is an important strategy for everyone to know. Study skills are paramount for learning new material.
Do I think others should know this word well....if so who and why? Anyone can benefit from study skills. As life-long learners, it is important to be able to learn new materials and utilizing study skills is one way to facilitate that process. As a teacher, it is important to be able to teach students how to use study skills in the learning process.
