Learning to Learn

In the course of working with students
across various disciplines, Claire Odogbo realized that many
students have problems with their studies because they do
not understand the basic principles of learning. Most
teenagers and young adults in our schools and institutions
of higher learning do not know how to learn. They are used
to simply memorizing things without understanding them, and
then providing the memorized information as their answers to
relevant questions asked in tests and examinations. Such a
learning method creates a very weak foundation for true
learning and development, as it does nothing to improve the
learner. Learning to Learn is an attempt to correct this
problem and aid those who really wish to learn, along the
path of true learning, to attain self-development and higher
achievements in life. This manual is designed as a handbook
for the person who wants to be a more effective learner.
Anyone who wishes to benefit from it must constantly refer
to it in order to effectively implement the principles and
ideas presented herein. This work is designed for easy
reading and comprehension by persons in the seventh grade
and higher, hence the author has refrained from delving too
deep into the intricacies involved in learning.
