What will change in future education is the importance of independent learning.
Up until now, students in schools have been learning in classrooms. It was an environment where students exchanged various opinions and improved their communication skills.
However, now that online learning has increased, students have more time to study individually at home. Therefore, children are now required to have new online search skills and IT skills.
In the future, there will be more online learning, and children may no longer need to attend school. One-on-one learning between teacher and student will become a privilege only for the wealthy.
It helped my study skills and my students, as well. I'd ever read this with my students and discussed together about some topics. We identified our own way to study and found what the best for us. Well, study skill is like trials and errors. We should try thousand to know which one is the fittest. Great!
I really like the format of this book - infographics with tons of useful (and some obvious) basics about being prepared and trying your best. Easy to skim and choose areas of concern. Could have been marketed directly to middle and high schoolers if it didn't have "help your kids" in the title.
Leído en español. Un libro muy útil con técnicas de estudio explicadas con ilustraciones, muy sencillas de entender, buenos consejos y plantillas para organizarse uno mismo.
I wish there were more pages about the study techniques (The Major System, etc.). Nonetherless, this is a good book and I understand that not everything can be put in just one volume.
