What have we learnt about student learning?

Abstract: The potential value of student learning research to applied fields cannot be overstated. Research needs to inform educationalists on how students learn with a view to improving teaching/learning systems. This brief review examines the work of major contributors such as Biggs, Marton, Schmeck, Entwistle and in particular Pask, who have looked at both the immediate orientations of learning strategies and at the more permanent phenomena of approaches and learning styles. The author has focused on the early work o… Show more

A further complicating factor is that students will tend to have an overall predisposition for their favoured learning approach, thus limiting their ability to switch between tasks requiring the application of different approaches.…”
