Students Taking Responsibility for Their Own Learning

Overview & Synopsis

Helping students to develop a sense of responsibility for their learning is widely recognized as a key goal of higher education. OECD identifies 'taking responsibility' as one of the three critical transformative competencies that every student should develop to navigate the unpredictable societal, economic, and environmental challenges of the future. Yet, taking responsibility, particularly in the context of learning, is a complex construct as it carries multiple meanings, interpretations, and implications. TU Delft's IDEE (Innovation in Delft Engineering Education) Initiative aims to address these complexities within the Students Taking Responsibility for Their Own Learning Process theme. This book, which is one of the early outputs of this initiative, presents our initial findings and lays the foundation for future research.
