Learning involves you taking in the world around you and connecting to what you are experiencing. Learning involves using your critical thinking skills and sound judgment to respond appropriately to any workplace task, online assignment, or opportunity to speak publicly. Over the coarse of 5 weeks, I have learned that to be an intentional learner, you need to use your learning patterns with intention. Your learning patterns are a skill that you either use first (almost always), use as needed (sometimes rely on), and avoid use (uncomfortable doing). There are four different types of learning skills sequence, precision, technical reasoning and confluence. Sequence is a learning pattern where you like organization, development, reviewing, structure, compare and contrast. This learning pattern you typically like to know what the outcome will be without a hidden agenda, they like to ask questions and know what is expected of them to complete the task. Precision is a learning pattern where you like details, to examine things, perform tasks accurately, like supporting documents, and facts. You would typically begin a task by gathering lots of data, facts, and specifics, so that you are accurate on your answers. Technical reasoning is a learning pattern where you enjoy building things, seeing how things work, they like to take things apart and put them back together again to see how it functions. This type of learning pattern you usually like to work alone and have little to say to others, because they find it hard how to put what they are thinking into words. Confluence is the learning pattern where you like to think outside the box, like to take risks, live carefree and the type that dream up big ideas. These types of learners thrive on change. Although there are four different patterns, everyone can use all four of these patterns at different levels of use. Once have a learned your patterns, which you can learn by taking the LCI test; you can learn how to use all fours…
