Curricular Openings in Developing the Learning to Learn Competency: An Intervention Program for 11th Graders with Learning Difficulties

The learning to learn competency is one of the poorly represented for most areas of subjects and teachers need more support to systematically include this competency in teaching and learning. The purpose of the experiment consists in the applying of a formative intervention program centered on an operational model of the development of this competency to 11th graders with learning difficulties in studying Romanian Language and Literature. The model values entirely the processes of critical reflection, of metacognitive reflection and strategic decision making within a socio-constructivist context. Innovative methods can be especially useful for people who have negative school experiences.
