Learning Reflection

Learning is a process in which we use our experiences to handle different situations. Learning is when we gather information and storing it in our memory for convenient use. Like for example, every time we use our smart phones to check NBA scores, weather forecast, daily news, and etc., we are taking basic steps in the learning process. This class has taught me the real meaning of learning. I have learned that learning involves taking in the world around you and connecting to what you are experiencing; making sense of it; and using critical thinking skills and good sound judgment in order to respond appropriately to any class assignment, job task, or opportunity to interact with other people. Learning is essential to every one of us. Learning …show more content…
Every time we use new knowledge and skills in our work place, classroom, with our family or within ourselves, we are actively learning (Johnston, 2013). Each of us has different approach to doing a specific task. This is because we all have different learning patterns. The make-up of our learning patterns are composed of sequence, precision, technical reasoning, and confluence. Taking learning connections inventory enables us to know how we use each pattern (Johnston, 2013). My learning connection inventory results are: sequence 22 (use as needed), precision 25 (use first), technical reasoning 24 (use as needed), and confluence 23 (use as needed). I use sequence as needed. Sequence is very important in our everyday life. I organize my schedule, my work space, my personal things, and my life space when I need to. I am not really an organized person. I plan schedules; organize stuffs; and do my assignment a head of time when I need to. At home, I organize my stuff whenever we are expecting visitors or if it is really necessary. When it comes to doing my assignments, I only do it a head …show more content…
Applying self-regulation and metacognition is very important in order to overcome those challenges. Self-regulating will enable us to examine our own thoughts and behavior in order for us to determine which of them causing us to be unproductive. Through self-regulation, we will able to come up an alternative thoughts and behaviors that will lead us to a successful learning outcome. On the other hand, metacognition is also very essential. To be an intentional learner we need to notice, understand and regulate our thoughts and behavior before, during, and after a learning experience. Our learning patterns affects as how we metacognate. There are action phases of metacognition. These are mull, connect, rehearse, attend, express, assess, reflect, and revisit. FITting our learning patterns belongs to the phase II of metacognition patterns (Johnston, 2013). FIT is an acronym for Forge (avoid), Intensify (use as needed), and Tether (use first). We forged when we avoid using the pattern. We intensify when we use the pattern as needed. And we tether when we use the pattern first. FITting will enable us to accomplish our task or be successful in college. I have been busy now at work and I am having a hard time managing my time between my work and my online class. I think that I need to intensify my sequence in order for me to be back on track. Organizing my schedule, my work space, and my life space is what I

    Learning can be interpreted in many ways to different individuals, although to me learning is about gaining knowledge and embracing every experience encountered and linking it to any task. Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner.…

    This semester has been a whirlwind. I learned some strengths that I have, as well as some weaknesses, but all in all I’ve enjoyed every bit of this class. Writing the first essay of the semester I found myself unsure and uncomfortable with writing college level essays, but now after submitting my fourth essay I am much more confident. From learning proper MLA in-text citations, to focusing my essays to make a clear point, to bettering my ability to provide proper support for my argument; my knowledge has expanded more than I could have imagined.…

    Learning has the power to transform all of us. We have the opportunity to shape and mold our minds into learning whatever we desire.

It’s important for us to understand this process and how we learn biologically.…

    Summary: Informal and accidental learning is at the heart of grown-up instruction due to its learner-focused center and the lessons that can be found out from background. In any case, learning for a fact is broad to the point that everything from Outward Bound exercises to organized PC recreations is incorporated in the definition. Formal learning is normally institutionally supported, classroom-based, and very organized. Informal learning, a classification that incorporates accidental learning, may happen in foundations, yet it is not normally classroom-based or profoundly organized, and control of learning rests principally in the learner 's hands. Coincidental learning is characterized as…

    The concepts delivered throughout the management problem-solving course have provided me with valuable simulated real-life experiences which can be applied in my everyday work life as a HR Administrator with aspirations of progressing my career.

This course has challenged the way I think and deepened my understanding of the problem-solving process, which has enabled me to perceive issues from new perspectives, I once would not have considered. Additionally, it has also allowed me to make explicit and authentic connections between the course content and my…

    A Learning theory is a framework describing how information is processed and absorbed by our minds. Behavioural, personal and environmental factors, as well as previous experiences, all play a part in our understanding. They explain how different factors can help learners process and recall information, suggesting that as we learn we also change the way we perceive our surroundings and the way we interact with others. A definition by Kimble (1961) is that “Learning refers to a more or less permanent change in behaviour which occurs as a result of practice”, suggesting learning will almost always be permanent.…

    When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…
