When you learn new information in your classes, you are learning in the cognitive domain. The theory of cognitive learning explains ways that you actively engage in a mental process like when you learn a new math process. Cognitive learning theory is a view about learning that explains how you acquire, remember, and use knowledge; it describes how you think and reason.  

Sometimes learning is easy, and sometimes it is difficult.  Your challenge is to become an effective learner at all times—when it is easy and when it is hard.  Study strategies,skills, and techniques are the approach, plan, or learning tools you use to help connect new knowledge with existing knowledge.  Together, these tool scan help you to be successful in any course or learning activity.

It can be difficult to tell the difference between a study strategy and a study technique.  In this course, you may find those terms used interchangeably.  Knowing the differences is much less important than understanding the concepts.   Learning plans (also called strategies) and learning skills work together to help you learn.  Skills and strategies allow you to connect existing knowledge and new information that you must learn, know, and understand in your high school classes.
