About this book

How to Study and Teaching How to Study by Frank M. is a concise, century-old manual that challenges how learners and teachers think about study and instruction. Grounded in the author's work at Teachers College, Columbia University, this non-fiction guide diagnoses why young people often fail to learn effective study habits and lays out practical principles for improvement. The book explores the nature of study and its principal factors: setting specific purposes, supplementing thought, organizing ideas, and judging the soundness and value of knowledge. McMurry’s recommendations arise from classroom observation, experiment, and discussion rather than abstract theory, offering concrete methods for cultivating attention, memory, and judgment. Written in the context of early 20th-century educational reform, the text balances historical perspective with timeless strategies that remain relevant to modern pedagogy. Ideal for teachers, prospective educators, parents, students, and anyone interested in learning theory or the history of education, this audiobook offers clear, actionable advice on teaching others to study and on studying more effectively yourself. Listen to gain practical classroom techniques and enduring insights into how good study habits are formed.
