Synopsis

This book delves into supervised study, exploring its long history, variations, and shifting meanings from the early 1900s up until contemporary times. The author examines the merits of supervised study as claimed by different educators, from its claimed ability to improve learning to its supposed value in reducing home study. The book also includes experimental studies on supervised study, analyzing their findings and limitations. One study, by Breslich, found that students who received supervised study in mathematics outperformed those who did not, particularly in the area of study habits. The author concludes that while supervised study has its merits, there is a need for further research to isolate the specific elements that contribute to its success.
