Learning to Learn
http://www.ldrc.ca/projects/projects.php?id=26
The Thinking and Learning Skills course is designed to raise teachers', parents', and adult learners' awareness to their own thinking processes as a prerequisite to including learning skills as part of their teaching, or to improve their own learning skills. The Thinking and Learning skills course is unique in the realm of learning strategies courses. Learning to Learn is not a "study skills" or "strategies" course, but rather a course that teaches self-awareness and adaptive thinking skills.
