{"product_id":"2940011864322","title":"How To Use Your Mind For Study","description":"Educational leaders are seeing with increasing clearness the necessity of teaching students not only the subject-matter of study but also methods of study. Teachers are beginning to see that students waste a vast amount of time and form many harmful habits because they do not know how to use their minds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe recognition of this condition is taking the form of the movement toward \u003cbr\u003e\"supervised study,\" which attempts to acquaint the student with principles of economy and directness in using his mind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is generally agreed that there are certain \"tricks\" which make for mental efficiency, consisting of methods of perceiving facts, methods of review, devices for arranging work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome are the fruits of psychological experimentation; others are derived from experience. Many of them can be imparted by instruction, and it is for the purpose of systematizing these and making them available for students that this book is prepared.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe evils of unintelligent and unsupervised study are evident to all who have any connection with modern education. They pervade the entire educational structure from kindergarten through college. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn college they are especially apparent in the case of freshmen, who, in addition to the numerous difficulties incident to entrance into the college world, suffer peculiarly because they do not know how to attack the difficult subjects of the curriculum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recognition of these conditions, special attention is given at The University of Chicago toward supervision of study. All freshmen in the School of Commerce and Administration of the University are given a course in Methods of Study, in which practical discussions and demonstrations are given regarding the ways of studying the freshman subjects.","brand":"M\u0026M Pubs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152417538288,"sku":"2940011864322","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011864322_p0.jpg?v=1763550347","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011864322","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
