The interest of education in learning strategies has increased due to the innovative concept of competencies, in fact, the strategies are considered part of the resources that the student should engage in order to put in practice the competences. The learning to learn ability that is to become autonomous, independently in the learning is often valorised in the pedagogy of competencies. Our work aims to be the result of a theoretical and methodological research effort whose premises will become the starting point for formulating the guidelines of design work on improving students’ learning activity. Finally, we analyze the results of the research that open wide possibilities for structured pedagogical actions in developing the learning to learn competence, especially in the educational intervention programs to stimulate critical reflection, metacognitive reflection and strategic decisions making for students with learning difficulties.
