- Teaching College Reading and Study Skills through a Metacognitive-Schema Approach. Scales, Alice M. College Students Higher Education Learning Strategies Metacognition Reading Skills Schemata (Cognition) Skill Development Study Skills Teacher Developed Materials Teaching Methods A reading and study skills course for college students, based on concepts of metacognition and schema, was organized around a management system and an instructional process to ensure that students would make use of their self-knowledge, their learned study reading skills, and their understanding of things, people, language, etc. to make sense from their textbooks and to apply that textbook knowledge appropriately to tasks. The management process involved a series of seven handouts, used across the semester, making obligations clear and tracking progress and reactions. These were: a student data sheet; a course overview; an assignment sheet; a check sheet for key terms and questions; a summary of completed assignments; a student/teacher conference sheet; and a final examination project sheet. The instructional process emphasized self-questioning strategies, word-learning skills, listening and note-taking skills, library skills, test-taking techniques, and time management skills. (Seven tables consisting of the handouts used in the course are included. Fifteen references conclude the report.) (SR)
