The process of learning how to study, in order
to be effective, must meet two criteria: (1) that
it is sequentially ordered in the instructional
programs, and (2) that it be learned through direct
application to a formal body of knowledge. Study
skills, once learned, enable the student to learn
efficiently and effectively. At the elementary
school level, study skills do not require a
separate course treatment; they are the enabling
process by which students become lovers of
learning, develop inquiring minds, and are able to
seek higher levels of inquiry and interests beyond
the school curriculum. Additionally, study skills
are the means through which independence in
learning is achieved.
The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public School District
recognizes the importance of this process goal and
makes provision within the curricular disciplines
for students to receive instruction in these skills
in all areas of the program of studies. These and
additional skills are taught and enhanced through
specialized application in the library/media
program of the elementary schools in the district.
