How prepared are students for life-long learning? Students learn many things at school, but one of the most crucial is learning how to learn. For students to continue learning independently beyond the classroom, three key aspects are essential: understanding effective learning strategies, staying motivated to learn, and having confidence in their own abilities and capacity to grow. These elements form what we call the triangle of lifelong learning. This PISA in Focus highlights some of the key findings from Volume V of PISA 2022. It explores these three critical components and provides insights into how well students are prepared to become self-directed learners capable of thriving in a rapidly changing world.
