摘要:AbstractThe aim of study is to explore the relationship between the learning to learn competency and cognitive competencies (verbal and mathematical competency) in 1556 university students in four countries in Central Europe (Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine). The theoretical framework for this study is the concept of eight key competencies for lifelong learning (European Commission, 2009). Tests of verbal, mathematical competency (Kollárik et al., 1993) and learning to learn competency questionnaire (Mesárošová and Mesároš, 2011) were administered to assess variables in this study. The authors present research results which suggest that the learning to learn competency is strongly correlated with mathematical competency, but the relationship between the learning to learn competency and the verbal competency is weak. Moreover, findings have revealed that mathematical competency is a good predictor of verbal competency. The study adds to understanding the relationship of cognitive competencies and components of the learning to learn competency in university students in an international context.
