Download or read book Foundations for Learning with Student Access Code written by Laurie L. Hazard and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is appropriate for courses in First-Year Experience, College Success, and Study Skills. The focus of Foundations for Learning is on academic adjustment with personal development issues seamlessly integrated into the academic emphasis theme of 'claiming an education' and taking responsibility for one's own education. Foundations for Learning addresses both the attitudinal variables and personality traits that affect college achievement like locus of control, conceptions of intelligence, and intellectual curiosity in relation to specific study-related behaviors such as text annotation and active listening. At its core, this text is based on the psychology of adjustment. Students are pushed to consider how each mindset, perception, and attitude connects with their skill sets, and how one influences the other. The text encourages students to use this insight to make the necessary adjustments to their new role as college students. It offers an acute awareness of first-year student needs, an intellectual approach, and a tight framework. It is primarily focused on the development of academic adjustment issues and meta-cognitive strategies as they naturally unfold during the first semester, as opposed to primarily focusing on social adjustment issues or issues that aren't immediately relevant such as career development and is written in a challenging yet accessible way. This revision covers emerging technologies, broadens its audience, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is geared to students who are academically underprepared for college-level studies, especially first-generation and at-risk students. The sixth edition of Keys to Effective Learning text helps students build habits for success and develop the thinking, self-management, and study skills they need to succeed academically. This edition is streamlined to focus more on essential study skills, with greater coverage of memory, studying, reading, and test-taking. It retains its acclaimed simple-to-use Critical and Creative Thinking coverage, and adds relevance by addressing the two greatest barriers to staying in school--time and money management. Recognizing that the first step in developing the independent thinking skills needed for college-level work is understanding how you think, this revision builds students' self-awareness in three ways: embedded in-chapter self-assessments, "powerful question" features, and learning preferences grids that asks them to think about how they learn in a variety of situations. The text offers a pre- and post-course assessment. The Habits for Success theme is now more integrated and practical. Students assess which habits they'll need in college and how to form those habits so they have the tools to increase their preparedness, confidence, and commitment to learning. 0133852849 / 9780133852844 Keys to Effective Learning: Study Skills and Habits for Success Plus NEW MyStudentSuccessLab -- Access Card Package Package consists of: 0137007507 / 9780137007509 Keys to Effective Learning: Study Skills and Habits for 0321943252 / 9780321943255 NEW MyStudentSuccessLab -- Valuepack Access Card
