Abstract | The purpose of the case study reported in this paper was to investigate the level of self-knowledge and strategic awareness of above average college students and to determine whether students could benefit from instruction in learning and study strategies. Subjects, 11 students with a mean combined Scholastic Aptitude Test score of 1,100 attending a small private liberal arts college with high admissions standards, participated in a 2-week workshop on learning strategies conducted by the experimenter. Workshop sessions included instruction in prereading, during reading, and postreading strategies which would enhance independent learning and promote retention of written material by increasing metacomprehension ability. Subjects completed pre- and post-objective tests, pre- and post-summaries, and a self-report measure. Results indicated that the subjects were surprisingly deficient in awareness and use of efficient strategies for learning from text and that they can benefit from strategy instruction which promotes increased levels of awareness of the variables of self, task, text, and strategy. (Two tables of data are included; 15 references are attached.) (RS) |
