Well, I was sent to school and I was told to learn. But nobody ever took
the time to tell me how to learn ... and worse, nobody explained to me
how understanding worked. So it was up to me to find out what learning
was all about and to find out how understanding worked. Indeed, there
are tools with which this work can be done, a thinking grid of how to
understand. No matter how you may choose to apply this knowledge, I wish
you success in whatever you hope to achieve. There are countless books
for teachers on how to teach and for students on how to learn, but
Learning How to Learn stands alone in the clear, practical approach it
takes in providing teachers, students, parents, administrators, and
government officials the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in
today's diverse educational settings. It is more than just a philosophy
of education. It is a guide of incomparable value for students of all
ages who aspire to be autonomous learners and for others, experienced or
novice, who may be charged with planning, programming, and executing
educational curricula and programs. The many illustrative examples add
to its exceptional readability, and the book can be read in its entirety
or used as a desk reference for specific topics. Francis C. Pengitore,
