Learning to Learn provides a much needed overview and international
guide to the field of learning to learn from a multidisciplinary
lifelong and lifewide perspective. A wealth of research has been
flourishing on this key educational goal in recent years.
Internationally, it is considered to be one of the key competencies
needed to compete in the global economy, but also a crucial factor
for individual and social well-being. This book draws on leading
international contributors to provide a cutting-edge overview of
current thinking on learning to learn research, policy, and
implementation in both formal and informal learning environments.
But what learning to learn is exactly, and what its constituting
elements are, are much debated issues. These seem to be the crucial
questions if assessment and development of this 'malleable side of
intelligence' are to be accomplished. The approach of this volume
is to consider a broad conception of learning to learn, not
confined to only study strategies or metacognition, yet
acknowledging the importance of such elements. The book sets out to
answer five main questions: What is learning to learn? What are its
functions and how do we assess it? What does it promise to the
individual and society at large? How is it conceived in national
curricula internationally? How can it be developed in a variety of
contexts? The text is organized into two parts: the first addresses
the core question of the nature of learning to learn from a
theoretical and policy viewpoint, and the second presents recent
research carried out in several educational systems, with special
attention to assessment and curriculum. It gives an account of
pedagogical practices of learning to learn and its role in
individual empowerment from childhood to adulthood. Contributors
also highlight the potential use of learning to learn as an
organizing concept for lifelong learning, school improvement, and
teacher training along with potential conflicts with existing
incentive practices and policies. This book is a vital starting
point and guide for any advanced student or researcher looking to
understand this important area of research.
