As teachers and educators, we are responsible to facilitate the learning process of our students and identify their learning capabilities, the work of many Educational Psychologists such as Witkin and Kolb to name but a few, support the various explanations of…

Sophomore year has been a whirlwind of assessments and assignments. Unfortunately, I had very few major projects throughout the year, and the ones that I had did not use any Sophomore Learning Skills. Because of this, I found my final reflection to be a difficult task. Luckily, I discovered a Sophomore Learning Goal that can apply to my thoroughly uneventful year. This goal is to reflect on past experiences and relate them to essential skills. I feel quite lucky that this topic has arisen…

(Bandura, 1977: vii) The leading researcher in Social Learning theory, Ronald L. Akers summarizes Social Learning theory as (Akers and Sellers, 2004): The probability that persons will engage in…

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. Now I know that I can transition between different learning patterns to suit…
