- Description: M.Ed. , Different colleges of education experience problems with first year students who seem to be battling hard to meet the academic demands of courses offered. For example, about 45% of these students fail education (pedagogics) every year. This situation is brought about by many factors, some of which are linguistic incompetence and poor study skills. Linguistic incompetence influences reading and comprehension skills. What these students think they hear from lecturers' presentation is not always what the lecturer intended to convey. When such students are given a task, they fail to interpret the task since successful interpretation relies heavily on one's understanding and knowledge of the language. Furthermore first year students are characterized by a lack of good study skills. The phenomenon "study skills" embraces reading skills. Reading is not only a fundamental tool for school learning but it is a survival skill in this modern era. A student studies a text with the aim of learning or extracting meaning from it. Learning only becomes successful if the learner has good reading skills, high order conceptual skills, thinking and evaluation skills. This study was undertaken with the aim of identifying and discussing study skills required for effective learning at higher education level. One class was selected as a microcosm of the college representing all first year students. Participants were observed in their natural setting with an aim of constructing and describing the total phenomenon focusing on study skills.
