It included: the perspectives of research on learning; analyses of observational and experimental data of learning processes; significance of the research; chronological table of the themes. Applications of methods and results of preceding research to the present project were discussed in terms of field study, improving teaching on the basis of learning processes, data analyses for characterization of individuals, modeling and self-modeling of teaching and learning activities, development of self-directed learning programs for teachers and students, interrelationship between basic and applied research.
