Abstract

VEIGA, Luciana Lima de Albuquerque da; PEIXOTO, Mauricio Abreu Pinto  and  XAVIER, César Silva. Is there a magic formula for learning?. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2023, vol.30, e007.  Epub Aug 01, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v30a2023-7.

Concerns about students’ learning difficulties worldwide have generated great research in the educational field. In the last decade, there has been growing dissemination of methods seeking to help students become more efficient learners. Given this context, this review discusses the contributions, possibilities, and limitations of the “power learning method,” which is presented in the book “The Learning Power Approach: Teaching Learners To Teach Themselves” by Guy Claxton. The method is an account of his experience as an educator in different parts of the world and demonstrates positive responses to the challenges proposed to the students who participated in the activities. It is worth pointing out that, as with any educational method, the teacher must evaluate their reality and make the necessary adaptations for its use or even conclude that it is impossible to apply it in their classroom.

Keywords : Learning; Teaching strategy; Learner; Power of Learning Method.
