- Description
- This chapter provides a framework for understanding how variation in learning behaviours, and thus outcomes, occurs. We frame the discussion around the three key questions that underlie learning: (1) what I am doing as learning occurs (the 'cognitive' component of learning), (2) how and why I control and regulate my learning (the 'metacognitive' component), and (3) how I feel about myself as a learner and the learning context (the 'affective' component). While each of these components may be discussed independently (and there exists a large corpus of research underlying understandings of each of these), most important in this account are the interrelationships between them, for it is through understanding these interactions that the individual differences in learning and learning outcomes may be explained.
