q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Qualitative analysis of so-called learning stories reported by Y. L. Visser and J. Visser (2000) and related studies, focusing on individuals' perceptions of learning. The studies found learning was facilitated when negative conditions became positive challenges, role models or emotional support were present, or opportunities for independent exploration and metacognition existed.

"the advance towards meaningful learning should focus on: the development of felt ownership of knowledge; the emotional integration of any particular learning experience in an individual's perceived lifespan development; the generative nature of learning; the real-life context as the natural habitat for learning"
