Based on studies in learning psychology, biology and education, the original technique Lernen durch Lehren (LdL) (German for 'learning by teaching') has been elaborated into a meta-model (Meta)LdL that aims at giving students a platform to acquire the competencies considered necessary for knowledge societies. Ninety-seven former students of university classes modelled on (Meta)LdL participated in a questionnaire to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of (Meta)LdL. A majority of participants attested LdL to have allowed for a gain in all competencies and claimed that no other method they were aware of would be more efficient than LdL.
