Dear Colleagues:
For several years now I have held positions in academic support
programs. Essentially, I teach study and time management skills. In my
current position I also direct a tutoring program and work with
medical students individually. I refer to what I do with teaching
'study' skills. Recently, I have noted that other professionals use
the term 'cognitive' skills.
My questions is: what would be the difference in 'study' and
'cognitive' skills? As I see it, study skills refers to a person's
cognitive domain since it involves knowledge organization, reading &
reasoning skills, etc. Can you help me in clarifying between the two
concepts: study skills vs.. cognitive skills? Moreover, what kind of
training would be necessary for the latter term?
Thank You. Gerlinde Luster
