Possibilities for improving the learning to learn competency of students from technical schools - results of an experimental research

Summary/Abstract: We made the transition from an industrialized era to an era of knowledge, putting more and moreemphasis on the ability to learn effectively, to be flexible and to adapt to the changing society ofknowledge. The ability to learn faster and better than others has become crucial for welfare. Since this is one of the formalized eight European key competences, the formal pre-university education should provide a proper learning environment in order to develop this competence to all students. In this study, we propose to evaluate the impact of the intervention program centered on an operational model of development of learning to learn competency in order to diminish the frequency of learning difficulties in studying Romanian language and literature so that the learner reaches the authentic, reflexive and strategic learning. The sample of subjects includes 106 students from technical high schools and colleges whose limits are situated mainly in the direction of efficiently managing the cognitive, metacognitive, emotional and motivational resources. We used an experimental intersubject design, using sample / unique group technique, as the same single group of students with learning difficulties was pursued at different stages and its evolution had analyzed. Finally, we analyzed the results of research that open wide possibilities for structured pedagogical actions which aim to stimulate critical reflection, metacognitive reflection and strategic decisions making.
