According to Jasmina Hasanbegovic[1] “learning
strategies refer to Students' self-generated thoughts, feelings, and
actions, which are systematically oriented toward attainment of their
goals”.
Therefore, implementation of appropriate learning strategies is related to student's self-regulation behavior which in turn should be encouraged by pedagogical designs.
Typical strategic questions a learner might ask, are:
- How to write a project thesis. How do I have to do a literature review?
- How to structure my course and lecture notes? How can I cope with note taking ?
- How to organize my time and keep track of various assignments ?
- How can I tackle a difficult exercise, e.g. a math problem ?
2 Types of learning strategies
Globally, one could distinguish among the following kinds
- Disciplinary heuristics (e.g. "Look at this and that" kind of advice)
- General problem-solving heuristics
- Metacognition, see the metacognitive literacy and metacognition articles for details.
Warr & Allan (1998) distinguish between three categories
according to the kind of resources used in the regulation of behavior:
- Cognitive learning strategies: skills in rehearsing a material to be learned or in organizing it into main theme
- behavioral learning strategies: preferences for seeking help from others, for trial and error or for written instruction
- self-regulating strategies: controlling emotions, motivation and comprehension [1]
