ABSTRACT
The third chapter in this set of three on the framing of learning focuses on the learner's approach to learning. The material on the approaches to learning is based on a well-known body of literature, which concerns the manner in which a learner tackles a learning task. As in the previous two chapters, this chapter is about an aspect of framing that concerns learning to learn. The approach that a learner adopts will be influenced both by her conceptions of knowledge and her personal ability to manage her learning. These were the subject matter of the previous chapters. Some of the factors that contribute to the approach that a learner adopts are related to the local context of the learning in contrast to the conception of knowledge that would appear to be a more general trait.
