This page contains the findings of systematic reviews undertaken by review groups linked to the EPPI-Centre. This is a process by which individuals reflect upon and plan their own learning. One review described the known effects of PDP on student learning in higher and related education:

• PDP has a positive effect on students' learning, attainment and learning styles.
• There was insufficient evidence to conclude that PDP has a positive or negative effect on personal outcomes for learners.
• There was insufficient evidence to determine which of the different PDP approaches is more or less effective.
• The findings will also have implications for schools and further education colleges.
