What is the impact of teaching students learning strategies?

Revisiting the Effect of Teaching of Learning Strategies on Academic Achievement: A Meta-Analysis of the Findings: This study examines the impact of the teaching of learning strategies on student academic achievement. Learning strategies are behaviors and processes taught to learners, including cognitive strategies such as memory setting and retrieval, and executive cognitive processes. Learning strategies are also known as study, academic, or research skills. Five categories of learning strategies were assessed: rehearsal, elaboration, organizational, comprehension, and affective. The findings reveal that academic achievement of students can be improved by teaching of learning strategies in the classroom. The researchers found a medium effect size, results consistent with the findings of Donker et al., (2014) and Hattie, Biggs, and Purdie (1996).
