Abstract	Author Dr Roseanna Bourke takes the reader on a fascinating exploration of learning: the theory, practice and young people's take on it. What do you say to a young person who tells you her brain is an eighth full? Or to the one who says he only knows he has learned something when he receives a stamp or a sticker? This book is about how learners conceptualise learning, how they self-assess their own learning and why context matters. It shows how, just as a chameleon changes colour, learners change and adapt their approach to learning depending on the situation. It draws on examples of learning by Years 7-8 students from the classroom and out of school, looking at how their views and values are shaped and how they satisfy their own learning needs. Chapters include: (1) The colour of learning: Why student voice is essential to personalising learning; (2) Changing the way we see student learning; (3) Learning: It's what we do; (4) Students and their learning; (5) Assessment and self-assessment; (6) How do students know when they have learnt?; and (7) The learner and context: Enjoying the edge of incompetence.
