Excerpt from Manual of the Elementary Course of Study for the Common Schools of Wisconsin
Along with this process the teacher should teach pupils how to study to better advantage; this she should do consciously and persistently.' She should make pupils conscious of the way questions, outlines, notes, etc., help them to learn and to think. She should show them how to read, how and when to ask questions of themselves as they read. She should show them how she would study the lesson, or she may at times study it with them with the purpose in mind to help them to help themselves in the lessons that follow. Following this she should make them aware that she is testing their power in this direction, testing them to discover for herself how much they have gained in self help from her help.
Drills and reviews, in class, upon the fundamental facts, rules and processes of a study raise the pupils' ideals of attain ment and should stimulate them to drill and review by them selves.
In the rational phases of any study, questions' asked by the teacher in class, which call for causes or effects, reasons or re lations and which compel pupils to think out in terms of their own experiences or back to what has gone before in the book, should be brought to the consciousness of the children in a way to get them into the habit of thinking in a similar man ner for themselves as they study.
