As a learner I need to drive the learning, to develop:
  • a sense of ownership, purpose, motivation

  • understanding of myself as a learner, understanding of learning strategies and of what I need to do to monitor my learning and to enjoy building learning competence
As a learner I must be able to:

  • SELECT relevant info by reading/ viewing/ listening with focus and flexibility, using strategies, filters and frames

  • PROCESS info by selecting, rejecting and evaluating info claims, in order to understand, analyse, synthesise and interpret information as my KNOWLEDGE
As a learner I need to:
  • be able to represent my thinking, understandings and knowledge claims outside my head – on paper

  • understand that even the best thinkers and learners, (eg de Bono, Einstein and Leonardo) use 'tools' to help them frame and represent their thinking and knowledge
