Strategic empowerment
Learners need to
Ø  experience a variety of tasks, styles and strategies
Ø gradually be exposed to unfamiliar approaches
Ø learn how to select “other” ways of doing tasks
Ø learn to use self-assessment tools

Obviously, they can’t be left alone to do this. They will need to experience a variety of tasks, tasks which call for a wide range of styles and strategies; they will need to be gradually exposed to unfamiliar approaches and learn how to select ways of doing tasks; and they will need help in using self-assessment tools. In this way we hope that, gradually, they can become aware of their own styles and how these can be adapted to different tasks and contexts.
