Learning to Learn Research Reports
We are delighted to announce that the Learning to Learn in
Schools Phase 4 and FE interim report is now available to download from our
website. This report is a combination
of two years of in schools research and one year of research in colleges. Summaries suitable for policy makers and practitioners will follow shortly.
The Learning to Learn in Schools Phase 4 project continues to emphasise sustainability and replicability of the L2L model; exploring trajectories of students, schools and teachers who have participated in Learning to Learn approaches and the potential impact.
Transferability of the L2L model is important in the Learning to Learn in Further Education Project: the project is exploring ideas relating to what learning looks like in the FE sector and the extent to which there are differences and similarities in the experiences of individuals learning there.
The project is continually reviewing what we mean by Learning to Learn and our current working definition is:
Learning to Learn is an approach that focuses on what happens when we learn and how we can learn more effectively. Being involved in L2L means being part of a community of enquiry that aims for a better understanding of the learning process. An L2L approach provides all learners with opportunities and tools for reflective and strategic thinking that generate talk and collaboration. This helps individuals develop skills and dispositions for successful lifelong learning that can build their motivation and enable them to take effective action to fulfil their learning goals.
