Reflection About Learning

Trying to explain learning to anyone is a challenge I think. I feel as though the term “learning” is not just one straight forward definition. If I had to explain it to someone who hasn’t taken this class, my old definition would have been simply any information gathered and stored in the brain through the use of our five senses. Taking this class, and critically reading the text given, has made me realize that my explanation of learning was only partially correct. After conducting a comprehensive analysis of my own personal learning habits, I can now confidently provide a more accurate definition of the term.

My sequence pattern makes it very difficult for me to skip things I am confused by. I feel as though I need to do everything in order, so I don’t like moving on the next step until I have completed the first one.

It also turns my paper into a lengthy list of irrelevant facts, which can be boring to the reader. I have a hard time deciding which information I do and don’t need. Forging my precision will also help me manage my time better. I would be able to do exactly what I need to do without wasting time on things that I don’t need to do. My technical reasoning causes me to have trouble asking for help. I don’t like asking for help and would prefer to figure things out on my own when I get confused.

As previously stated, my confluence is only at an as needed level. I am so dependent on structure and preciseness that it takes away from my creativity. I can surely intensify this pattern to help me better brainstorm new and interesting ideas. This would help me create more interesting papers that the reader can make personal connections
