Study Skills

With rapid social change and technological advancement, education is becoming more accessible

to people at their convenience in terms of time, place and pace, through the open learning

system. Through (OLS) people are becoming more responsive towards education. I In any system of education, learning outcomes and students achievement is of major concern

as these are thought to be the determinants of evaluative aspect of education. Though the

academic achievement of students depends on various factors such as the students desire to

learn, instructional strategies, study materials, students' study skills, etc., the learning skills

of students are thought to play an important role in the academic achievement. ResearChes

focusing on students' learning skills and difficulties in learning from text have found that

most students do not have appropriate and efficient strategies necessary for learning on their

own. Students generally need guidance.
