I dette kapitlet vil det bli diskutert hva læringspotensial er. Gjennom en litteraturstudie vil ulike sider ved læring og potensial for læring bli perspektivert. Det vil bli gjort en grenseoppgang mellom sentrale begreper knyttet til læringspotensial. Begrepet vil også bli diskutert med utgangspunkt i tilgrensende begreper som inkludering og en skole for alle.

This achievement is, however, so ubiquitous and mundane that we seldom marvel at it. Of course, monolingual adult grammars ...

In order to answer these questions, we referred to the Canadian model of occupational ...
