The book "Self-Determined Learning in School" by Andrea Pieter offers a comprehensive analysis of the significance of self-directed learning in the educational system. In light of the PISA results, this topic has gained relevance and is increasingly viewed as a central goal in the field of education. The author examines the extent to which students are able to meet the requirements for lifelong, self-determined learning by the end of their schooling. Additionally, the resulting implications for teaching are discussed to support educators in implementing these learning formats. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the development of teaching methods and the promotion of independence in education.
