This document discusses practitioner research into self-organizing learning that does not require external authority. It defines learning to learn as activities that collectively shape the learning process. Self-organization refers to autonomous, operationally closed message systems based on social principles. The research aims to understand the extent learning can be a self-organizing, socially structured activity without formal education systems. Examples of self-organizing learning mentioned include the emergence of sign language among deaf Nicaraguan children and "hole in the wall" experiments providing rural Indian children self-directed access to computers. The document outlines a research project with teachers introducing learning to learn approaches in their classrooms to explore connections between learning to learn and self-organization.
