My Learning Patterns

Improved Essays
Learning is putting forth an effort to absorb information and creating an appropriate response. There are many ways to learn. You can learn in many situations throughout life, work, social gatherings instead of just a classroom environment. Throughout this course, my views on learning has not change, however, I have learn the learning is not as easy for other as it is for me. Some people have to work harder.
I am a Strong- Willed Learner. I do like taking the lead while working in a group when I get frustrated that others do not understand the project, but I normally describe myself as what the textbook defines a Bridge Learner. “Jack of all trades, a master of none” is a phrase I would use to describe myself. I use my Learning Patterns almost seamlessly. My Learning Patterns scores are Sequence 32, Precision 25, Technical Reasoning 31, and Confluence 28.I use my Sequence and Precision together very well. I love to gather as much information as possible while keeping it all organized. When my Technical Reasoning takes over, my Precision helps me, and the other way around. I use Confluence in every aspect of my life. I love finding new ways of doing my work, and I love to be different. Being Frist Use in all patterns is beneficial.

I can easy use all patterns as I wish on any assignments. Sequence is used daily. I love to keep organized. It makes everything easier and simpler. I naturally keep everything in order and organized when completing essays. I created outlines to start and review and edit to finish. I used Precision on my discussions and assignments. When I fine my writings too short, I can use my Precision to make them longer. I used my Technical Reasoning a lot in this class. I found myself writing discussion post much longer than necessary. I was using my Technical Reasoning to shorten my assignments. When my Precision was overwhelming me because I would want to gather more information before I start my assignments, I use my Technical Reasoning to just do it and get it over with. My Confluence helped as well. When I wrote my discussion post, I used Confluence to make connections to my experiences to help gather more material for the replies. I also used this method when I had to write about the examples of people in the textbooks. I do not believe I have challenges. Like I said before, I can use any pattern easily. The concept of FITing does not entirely apply to me. I do not have a need to Forge or Intensify my Patterns. I have a consent struggle between Precision used with Sequence and Technical Reasoning. Mostly depending on my mood I would have to Tether one or the other. The terms I would use before were lazy and OCD. Lazy is how I described my Technical Reasoning. That is when I do not want to use my words and want to get assignments over with. OCD is Precision used with Sequence. When I want to do my best and be and over achiever this side comes out. I am able to easily which from one to another. Sequence itself is not something I need to Tether. I always keep my work organized but I does not overwhelm me. My Confluence is another that I balance well. I use this quite often but not so much it over takes my work. To be honest, I did not enjoy this class very much. When heard I had to take an orientation

Shitty first drafts is a draft where you would write anything you want, relating to the essay in order to get down topics. It was beneficial for me because I lacked ideas when it came to the essays.

    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.…

    I have to constantly make concentrated effort in intensifying both of them regularly but mostly my Technical Reasoning. This is something that I struggle with at times because I am not the most tech savvy kind of personality or mechanically and electronically inclined, so when I face learning challenges involving those types of tasks I definitely feel overwhelmed. Ensuring success in this class was pretty simple for me because it required almost no Technical Reasoning as far as I could tell. However, there may be courses in the future where I am forced to really intensify that learning pattern in order for me to do well.…

    Sequence is a learning pattern in today 's world and I am one point shot of using it as needed.

On the other hand, I do use post-it sticky notes through out the day at home and at work because I am very forgetful.…

    Learning, to me, is simply the acquisition of skills that add value to one’s life, be it from the streets, in a classroom or even in the market. It is the one process that people do on a daily basis, and depending on how one looks at it, there can be diverse approaches to learning. Some of these approaches are based on the different experiences of the different people. Thus, because people approach learning in different ways, there is bound to be differences in the way people define effective learning as well. To some people, effective learning is judged by how much information an individual is able to memorize, whereas to others it might mean how effectively a person is able to demonstrate knowledge that they had previously acquired.…
