Developing a Study Plan

these will cover the subjects to be examined through to the revision and study techniques. To design a study skills plan for the students the first consideration is how  we believe the learning takes place. For this we can start by looking at curriculum design, looking at how it should be studied regardless of the contents. . The traditional  approach was with the student needing to have the student knowing that, but is know extended to knowing how so that there is the ability to apply knowledge across to  other subjects. In planning for state tests this application cross over is present, but not high, but taking advantages of the development of these transferable skills will aid with the  plan. The trend has also been towards task based learning rather than knowledge based learning with applied learning and knowledge  rather then pure learning. Looking at the different plan models there may be seen different levels of ability to satisfy the changing needs in terms of learning and teaching styles  and educational approaches (Barnett et al, 2001). In all the models there are three elements that are apparent in different proportions, these are  the knowledge, the self and action. All are present in all models, but the levels vary and as such the way they are used and the scenarios in which they  can be used are indicated (Barnett et al, 2001). The prescriptive models of curriculum design look to the end that is required rather than at the curriculum itself. The best  known of these is that of the product or objectives model that originated with Ralph Tylers work (1949). In this there is a simple approach adopted with the need to
