The result of a student learning and employing specific study skill strategies is that student becomes an independent and successful, active learner. Students who employ their preferred SS strategies know how to approach information (old and new) in an organized manner, they are interactive participants in the learning process, they identify critical information, visualize that information to enhance understanding, ask questions, make predictions. Once information is acquired active learners who utilize study skills employ mnemonics and other techniques to retain, integrate, make connections, predictions, synthesize and analyze. Students who employ study skills strategies attend better, learn more and succeed. They are independent in their learning and enjoy the challenge of new curriculum.
