Abstract

The responses of the students in Research Study 1—Levels, described in Chap. 3, that were interpreted as explicit general knowledge of the learning process, hardly included explanations. That is, of the total amount of responses, 17 % was categorized as descriptive explicit general knowledge of the learning process because a learning concept or description of learning was included and 3 % was categorized as explanatory explicit general knowledge of the learning process in that it included a clarification.

“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.”

Albert Camus
