‘In a rapidly changing and uncertain world learning to learn has to be the most important element of the curriculum’ Bill Lucas, former Chief Executive of the Campaign for Learning
In addition to teaching pupils curriculum content, we can teach them strategies and approaches for more effective learning.
Teaching pupils how to learn helps pupils develop transferrable skills which will contribute to lifelong learning.
It can help develop positive attitudes to the learning process; it can improve motivation; and it can promote adaptability and flexibility in pupils’ approaches and create and nurture in them the disposition to reason in a considered and measured way.
