The principles about learners and learning which underlie these activities are as follows:
1 An effective learner is a person who has gained an understanding of the processes involved
in learning and is able to apply that understanding in learning across a wide range of contexts.
2 Effective learning involves processes of:
• making connections about what has been learned in different contexts
• reflecting about one’s own learning and learning strategies
• exploring how the learning contexts have played a part in making the learning effective
• setting further learning goals
• engaging with others in learning.
The activities in this section are not, therefore, related to particular subject areas but, rather,
to the processes of learning, and of learning in different contexts. The overall aim is to
enhance pupil learning across a range of different contexts. The activities are structured to
have a sequence and a progression. They have been designed to be pupil and teacher friendly
and could be used with secondary or junior pupils, but they would need adaptation for
younger learners.
When planning for effective learning, the tasks and processes need to promote:
• active learning
• collaborative learning
• responsibility in learning
• learning about learning.
In order to achieve this the activities are carefully structured around stages in the learning
cycle.
