To acquire this data, we used an anonymous questionnaire. The sample included 305 students from Faculties of Education in Slovenia. We determined that most students felt competent enough to teach various learning strategies and that students thought that the best time to begin teaching pupils about effective learning was during the 1st educational period. %K Learning to Learn %K Teaching %K Competences %K Students of Primary Education %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=70696
