How to Study and Teaching How to Study

** "How to Study and Teaching How to Study" by Frank M. McMurry is an early 20th-century educational manual that concentrates on efficient learning methods for students of all ages, while tackling difficulties that appear throughout education and the drawbacks of existing teaching approaches. McMurry wants to arm teachers with the tools to improve their students' learning behaviors and knowledge of how to learn successfully. The book starts by showing McMurry’s personal experience and acknowledging the desperate need for education in effective learning methods. He recalls stories from his time as a student and teacher, emphasizing the commonplace yet unsuccessful techniques that pupils employ, such as memorizing without thinking. He offers statistical data that show kids' problems grasping the essential components of successful learning. McMurry uses these observations to lay the groundwork for a thorough examination of the numerous elements that affect successful learning habits, as well as to highlight the significance of teaching these abilities to children as part of their education. **
