"The SOAR method is described for readers as a learning system that works because it is aligned with the principles of the human memory system. That is true. SOAR also works because it is aligned with self-regulated learning (SRL) ... The first three phases—selection, organization, and association—can be applied to take and transform notes into graphic organizers that facilitate the association of ideas while studying. Then, during the fourth phase, students regulate (i.e., self-monitor) their learning process through retrieval-based learning strategies ... More than simply a set of recommended learning strategies, SOAR’s four stages are an evidence-based framework to help students self-regulate their learning process ... SOAR to College Success and Beyond offers science-based strategies packaged in a way that ensures student learning. This book is well suited for college students in a study skills class, college students wanting to improve learning and achievement on their own, and those still in high school wanting to get a leg up before attending college. The book is also well suited for college instructors, advisors, and academic success coaches wanting to help the students they serve. In the Preface, Kiewra told students, “Now is the time to enrich your knowledge of how to learn, so that you become an independent learner who excels in college and beyond and who loves doing it.” The remainder of the book helps students do just that—SOAR to success in college and beyond."
