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

    Explaining this class to someone who hasn’t taken it, would be somewhat difficult due to my bouncing around with words and not staying on track. However, I would do my best to explain it. First, by telling them to take the test that determines what his or her learning patterns were. Then after we had figured out what type of learner they are, go from there. I would go by telling them what all four learning patterns were to the best of my own knowledge, and try to explain to them what they mean for them.…

Before college, my life was all about socializing and my high school education. I did not have to concern myself with scheduling so often.…

    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.…

    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…

Additionally, it has also allowed me to make explicit and authentic connections between the course content and my…
