Keys to effective learning : developing powerful habits of mind / Carol Carter, Joyce Bishop, Sarah Lyman Kravits. - 5th ed. - Upper Saddle River, N.J. : Pearson/Prentice Hall, c2008. - xxiii, 392 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Welcome to college: opening doors -- Values, goals, time, and stress: managing yourself -- Diversity matters: learning styles and communication -- Critical and creative thinking: solving problems and making decisions -- Reading and studying: focusing on content -- Listening and memory: taking in and remembering information -- Taking notes: recording concepts and information -- Test taking: showing what you know -- Quantitative learning: becoming comfortable with math and science -- Effective writing: communicating your message -- Creating your life: building a successful future.
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.
Students and Faculty alike are encouraged to visit the central website for all Keys franchise materials, www.carterkeys.com, where you can correspond with the author team, view their speaking calendar, benefit from current articles, and more!
