1.1 Analyse learning and teaching strategies used in own specialism
Define learning strategies
In recent years, the role of learners in constructing their own knowledge has been emphasized in recent constructivist view towards knowledge acquisition. According to Lessard and Clouston (1997), in the last few decades a significant shift has taken place resulting in less emphasis on teaching and greater stress on learner and learning. There are always a difference between good learners and bad learners. According to Omalley and Chamot (1990), good learners are more conscious of strategies they use and why they use them. Learning strategy is a ‘combination of behaviour and thoughts that a learner engages in learning and that are intended to influence the learner’s encoding process. (Weubstein and Mayer, 1986)
A learning strategy is an approach of a person for learning and using information. Students use different types of learning strategies to understand problem and to solve problem.

Vygotsky’s developed a concept of the zone of proximal development that refers a way in which the acquisition of new knowledge is dependent on previous knowledge and availability of instruction. His view is that development always follows child’s potential to learn. He developed the range of tasks that a child is in the process of learning to compete. The lower limit of the learning is acquiring the skill reached by the child working independenttly and the upper limit is the skill when the child is able to reach with the assistance of a more capable instructor. On the basis of this view, collaborative learning occurs when individuals are actively engaged in a community in which learning takes place through explicit or implicit learning
