Una revolución verde en la educación: las estrategias de aprendizaje

Abstract

A "green revolution", is proposed in the field of Education, through the development and use of leaming strategies. Leaming to leam is prornoted through cognitive strategies leading to self-leaming, affective strategies are believed to trigger the use of cognitive leaming strategies, both processing and performance strategies. Metacognition is stressed, as part of the leaming strategies. Leaming strategies need to be integrated in schools and the curricula, changing methodology and content. This would reduce desertion and repetition rates and enable the student to better function in life.
