Characteristics of strategic learners
The ultimate goal for both the practitioner and the learner is for the learner to become an independent learner. Strategic adult learners are aware of their strengths and weaknesses and can apply strategies independently to help them reach their goals. The following outcomes can be expected from strategic learners:
- Learners trust their minds
- Learners know there's more than one right way to do things
- They acknowledge their mistakes and try to rectify them
- They evaluate their products and behaviour
- Memories are enhanced
- Learning increases
- Self-esteem increases
- Learners become more responsible
- Work completion and accuracy improve
- They know how to "try"
- On-task time increases; learners are more "engaged"22
