• Resumen

  • It is widely accepted that the existence of campulsary general education until the age of 16 -in practice up to 18- is a valuable achievement of our society. Students are offered the apportunity la complele their secundary educatian reasonably well prepared. Nevertheless, good intentions cannat always be realized due la a vanriey of circumstances: high student numbers, an overcrowded curriculum, and too few teacher-student contact hours per week are among the more serious obstacles. However, in this paper we will try lo prove that in spite this unfavourable scenario a degree of learner autonomy is possible, and even necessary, in formal contexts of education, since we defend that "knowing" is good but "learning to find out" is even better.
