Description
Summary:This study aimed to investigate how university teachers and students in Education, Health Sciences, and Engineering understand the ‘learning to learn’ competence, using text mining. Analyses covered 160 interventions from teachers (16,317 token-words) and 243 interventions from students (15,394 token-words). Students emphasized mentoring and adaptive skills, while teachers focused on autonomy and significant learning. Students highlighted the role of teachers in facilitating successful learning, while teachers prioritised information management and teamwork with classmates. Implications for educational practice were discussed, considering the theoretical assumptions.
