Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to show how definite study habits may be developed in the Junior High School. With children coming from many outlying schools, different nationalities and correspondingly different environments and study methods, it is imperative that at the beginning of the school year, one makes a brief survey of the entire group, seeing what has been done, the difficulties which are to be removed and how best to deal with various students who do not seem to have the necessary background for the establishment of sound study habits. Many books and numerous chapters have been written on the subject of efficient study, but very few of the students who most need this information have heard about them. Even those who have read them, frequently fail to follow the advice offered. Reading, without practice, is of little value to anyone.

In the following paper, a general survey of the entire field of study has been made. Much stress has been laid on the establishment of the learning situation, without which little can be accomplished. Some time has been spent in obtaining a profile of two pupils possessed of fine study habits and of two pupils possessed of so-called 'poor' study habits. This has been done for the purpose of comparison mostly. Inquiries have been made of their past health and history, both home and school, for the purpose of discovering difficulties and planning for necessary remedies.
