Intentional Learning- Final Assignment
Learning is taking in knowledge, making sense of the knowledge, and using it when necessary. Since taking this class, my views of learning have slightly changed. I now understand that we all have different learning patterns and that everyone’s learning patterns are very unique. One person may learn best when following directions exactly, another person may learn their best by just doing it. Before this class, I felt that it was only one way to do things, and that was by reading directions and following them. I now know that the way everyone learns is as different as the way that we look.
I learn best by following directions, asking lots of questions, making lists, and using methods that I have succeeded at using in the past. My learning pattern scores are as follows: Sequence 30, Precision 30, Technical Reasoning 20, and Confluence 17. I use Sequence and Precision on a use first basis, I use Technical Reasoning as needed, and I avoid using my Confluence learning pattern. As I take in the world around me, I have noticed that I am always asking for an exact way of doing things (Precision), and that I enjoy following recipes and step by step instructions (Sequence). When anything involving the Technical Reasoning learning pattern pops up in my life, I have to have some type of guidance or directions to get it done. Once I have received the guidance needed, I can complete the task just fine. I have also noticed that anything that happens that is unexpected (Confluence) or unplanned in my day to day life stresses me out a lot. Now that I have taken this class, I can stop and say “hey, that situation just called for me to use my Confluence learning pattern.”
My unique combination of Learning Patterns benefits me in lots of ways. I am able to read any directions, ask for clarity where it is needed, and complete the task at hand, every time. While taking this course, I always read over the chapter before I started the course week, I set alarms using my cell phone to
