STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING A DEEP APPROACH OF LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Abstract
Internationally there have been many studies on the effects of metacognitive intervention on learning approaches. We aimed to identify the learning approach of the students preparing to become teachers, enrolled at the „Aurel Vlaicu†University of Arad. We have conceived and implemented a formative experiment revealing the influence of the metacognitive regulation on the deep and strategic approach of learning. Instruments such as: reflexive diary, self-analysis protocols, peer evaluation, metacognition portofolio were very effective in developping a deep approach of learning.References
