2. how students learn - basic principles (US National Research Council research synthesis) Teachers need to @ engage students’ preconceptions @ help them develop a foundation of ‘factual’ knowledge @ help them develop strong conceptual frameworks @ help them develop competency in monitoring their own understanding (metacognitive capacity) And recognising that students must do things for themselves in order to learn @ encourage them to adopt habits and behaviours that help them to manage their own learning

3. Central to current thinking about the purpose of higher education is the idea of developing people so that they are able to manage their own learning. While this capability is developed in an academic context we expect people to utilise this capability in their future working lives. Leni Dam Someone who independently chooses and identifies goals, materials, methods and tasks; exercises choice and purpose in carrying out tasks, and chooses criteria for evaluation. What do we mean by manage our own learning?

7. Research evidence of an effective system for promoting learner managed learning. Identified in a systematic review focused on the question what evidence is there that processes that connect reflection, recording and action planning improve students learning? Model being developed by Elisabeth Dunne Nature of task Learner characteristics Teacher activity directed or self-directed situations How can an e-portfolio be integrated into this systems view of learning?
