In the first section, McMurry covers topics such as time management, note-taking, memory techniques, reading comprehension, and test-taking strategies. He provides practical tips and exercises for students to improve their skills in each of these areas, as well as advice for setting goals and staying motivated.The second section of the book is aimed at educators and provides guidance on how to teach students how to study effectively. McMurry covers topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment methods. He also provides practical tips for engaging students in the learning process and creating a positive classroom environment.Overall, ""How To Study And Teaching How To Study"" is a valuable resource for students and educators alike, offering practical advice and strategies for improving study skills and teaching methods.This indicates the positive acceptance of specific purposes as guides in study. They are not by any means full guarantees of an outcome of knowledge in conduct, for they are only the plans by which the student hopes that his knowledge will function. Since plans often fail of accomplishment, these purposes may never be realized. But they give promise of some outcome and form one important step in a series of steps necessary for the fruition of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Born near Crawfordsville, Indiana, McMurry studied at the University of Michigan and at Halle and Jena in Europe, earning a Ph.D. in 1889. Before teaching in higher education, he served as the principal of Carter High School (Englewood). He taught at several colleges, first as professor of pedagogics at the University of Illinois and then at Columbia University where he was appointed professor in 1898. While at the University of Illinois he introduced the "practice-teaching" method, which is now commonly known as "student teaching" and is found in most teacher training programs across the country. With Ralph Stockman Tarr he published the Tarr and McMurry Common School Geographies (1900), and with his brother Charles, Method of the Recitation (1903).

Reviews

[Cherae Slater]

This is an excellent book still very relevant today. Why are our children graduating school still unable to think? Sure, many of them can name lists of facts and can verbalize "other people's" ideas, theories etc but can they think, reason, develop their own opinions and ideas through their own research and seeking out of knowledge? Are they encouraged to do this in schools today? I think not and this book tells why and how it should and can be. Though written in the early part of the 20th Century, if you didn't know it you'd think it was written quite recently.

Helpful but out of date.
