Study skills. Their contributions to the English Language Proficiency by Oumaima Ben Ali Pdf

Wissenschaftliche Studie aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Englisch - Pädagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The purpose of this research is to highlight the contribution of study skills to academic competence. It investigates the actual denominators resulting in student’s academic failure and addresses the issue of students’ non-strategic ways of dealing with academic content. It also identifies scientific evidence-based strategies that are effective in helping students improve their study skills. Over 100 students completed a questionnaire to determine how study skills affect the students’ academic achievements. In this respect, effective evidence-based strategies were grouped into taking notes, planning and organization, focus and concentration, and memory hacks. The research is composed of four chapters, whose general aim is to investigate the contribution of study skills to academic competence. The first chapter reviews the existing literature on study skills research and experiments, as well as the major findings in the field of study skills. The second chapter introduces the methodological procedures and research designs that were utilized to elicit data. The third chapter demonstrates the results of the study along with a critical analysis of the variables involved. As for the fourth chapter, a discussion takes place elucidating different perceptions of the study’s findings and implications. Finally, a conclusion of the study is drawn, and references are cited in the end. Academic competence is associated with the knowledge and application of effective study skills. Capable students at all grade levels may experience difficulty in school, not because they lack ability, but because they lack good study skills. Although some students develop study skills independently, even normally achieving students may go through school without having acquired effective approaches for studying. Implementing study-skills instruction relies on an understanding of the theoretical foundation for teaching and using study skills, as well as knowledge of current research on the effectiveness of study strategies. The purpose of this article is to articulate a theoretical perspective on the contribution of study skills to academic competence, and to identify evidence-based strategies that are effective in helping students study.
