Learning about learning as an essential element of high-quality education

Abstract

This article highlights the issue of educational efficiency and enhancing the quality of education, referring to Sustainable Development Goal 4. It has been recognized that much attention is now being paid to implementing educational tools to improve teaching, teacher training, or the provision of appropriate infrastructure. In contrast, little space is dedicated to teaching students to use effective learning methods. The text cites research on the range of practices undertaken during learning. The final section proposes models for enhancing the quality of education by strengthening the “learning” component that takes into account specific variables that directly and indirectly affect the acquisition of knowledge and skills.
