Keys to Effective Learning: Pearson New International Edition: Study Skills and Habits for Success

For courses in Study Skills, Student Success, Freshman Seminar or “University 101”.

 

The sixth edition is geared to students who are academically underprepared for college-level studies, especially first-generation and at-risk students. The text helps students build habits for success and develop the thinking, self-management, and study skills they need to succeed academically, and has been 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. Understanding how you think is key; this revision promotes students’ self-awareness, and offers a pre- and post-course assessment. The Habits for Success theme is more integrated and practical to ensure students develop the tools needed to increase their preparedness, confidence, and commitment to learning.

With its focus on core study skills, Keys to Effective Learning helps even the most underprepared student meet the demands of college. This revision has thorough coverage of memory, reading, studying, and test taking, and includes new information on reading across the disciplines, online learning, emotional intelligence, and brain-based learning. New features strengthen academic skills, including case studies and “Test Prep: Start It Now” exercises. The key highlights:

• Just as the habit of eating “an apple a day” can improve your health, the text’s “Habits for Success” theme helps students improve lifelong learning skills such as persistence (p. 4). 
• Keys’ hallmark - integrated critical-thinking and learning styles coverage -- gives students skills and strategies that will serve them in college, career, and life. (p. 54 and p. 81).
• A new, early chapter pairs two crucial tools for staying in school – time and money management (Ch 3).
