LeGrow, Maryanne R.; Scheckley, Barry G.; Kehrhahn, Marijke
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v50 n3 p2-13 Fall 2002

Results indicated that metacognitive skills can be developed outside the classroom to an equal or greater level. Portfolio development assisted learners in articulating tacit knowledge they acquired through experience. (Contains 65 references.) (SK)
