Promoción del aprendizaje estratégico y competencias de aprendizaje en estudiantes de primero de universidad: evaluación de una intervención

Abstract

Within the Higher Education European Space, certain teaching-learning processes are required to be focussed on the promotion of competences and strategies that enable students to perform indepent study and better learning. The PACA Project (Promoción y Autorregulación y Competencias de Aprendizaje, i.e. promotion of self-regulation and learning competences) tries to equip university students with the required strategic tools to approach their learning processes more effectively.

This Project is based on the letters Gervasio, a first year university student, writes to his <<navel>> in which he tells his reflections, difficulties ann successes he experiences during his university life. These letters promote metacognitive reflection on study and learning competences. The Project has been applied to first year student from two universities during six session of 1 hour duration. The outcomes of the application of this programme suggest its usefulness when teaching learning strategies and promoting autonomy of university students.
