My Philosophy Of Learning Analysis

In this portion of Sanders’s Becoming a Learner, he describes the outcomes of becoming a learner. Sanders states four outcomes of becoming a learner: creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and better character. I consider both communication skills and depth of character to be of equal importance, but for the sake of this journal, I believe the development of communication skills is most important and will have a critical impact on my career and my life. First off, let me state that I would like to pursue a career in editing, and to have any business at all, I will need to have good communication skills so I can form a trusting relationship with my clients, otherwise they may take their business elsewhere. More importantly, I intend to become a wife and a mother, and strong relationships are

While only having been at John Carroll University for a few months, my approach to learning has already drastically changed. Choosing a university to attend is one of the hardest decisions an eighteen-year old has to make. It essentially determines the course of your life and what you are going to do with it. However, even harder than that decision is being able to pursue the education and keep up with the studies that come with a degree. My learning expedition in college thus far has been an ever-changing one, particularly due to the realizations I have come to in the Honors Colloquium: Life of the Mind course this fall. Through the discussions of various scholars on learning, memory, and other similar subjects, in contrast to my previous

The main focus of Geoff Colvin’s, “What It Takes to Be Great”, published October 30, 2006, by Fortune, is on the importance that talent is to success. Researches were curious on,”how people were able to go on improving”, or how much is talent needed for success. They studied the best of the best in a variety of fields, such as: Michael Jordan, Winston Churchill, Vladimir Horowitz, Tiger Woods, and many more. Most people believe that talent makes someone great, but Colvin concludes, that people aren’t great through talent, but through deliberate practice. Deliberate practice involves a healthy mindset, consistency, obsessive practice, and discipline. Colvin shares,”The critical reality is that we are not hostage to some naturally given level

This essay discusses grit according to the following articles,”What it Takes to be Great by Geoff Colvin,” Ex-cons who Found Success Encourage others by Mike Tolson,”and “Oakland senior’s mark of success:top college admissions by Chip Johnson”. Grit is perseverance & passion for long term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future,day in,day out,not just for the week,not just for the month,but for years & working really hard to make that future a reality.

Learning: The acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught, Erudite: having or showing great knowledge or learning. To me there is a thin line between learning and simply reenacting, there comes a point in everyone’s life where they no longer act upon the actions of others and begin learning for themselves so much of my early life I don’t consider the pinnacle point of me gaining information like most of us do on a daily basis.

The first chapter of Becoming a Learner had scared me honestly. We are going to school to further our education and some job titles don't even want what you had specialized in college. It scared me because I came to college to find a good job when I am done with and if doesn't all work out in the end you will be with no job and in college debt. You need skills to make someone want to hire which scares me because I sometimes lack of skills. “ The primary purpose of college isn't learning a specific set of professional skills; the primary purpose of college is to become a learner” most college students don't know where they are going yet or know what to study so they should take advantage of learning outside of the box the more you learn during

In “Learning to Deliberate: Aristotle on Truthfulness and Public Deliberation”, Paul Nieuwenburg discusses Aristotle’s concepts of what guides morality and how the public plays a role in this “moral education” (464). Nieuwenburg focuses mainly on the partnership of shame and sincerity while discussing what happens when a matter becomes public and why that publicity matters. Throughout his article Nieuwenburg bounces from the mentality of both being the person publicly shamed and being those who shame that person. He does so by using both his own theories and Artistotle to explain why it is important for a democracy to continually be in a state of deliberation that is public and widespread.

Today I want to share a secret with you, and many of you are not ready to hear this or even want to hear it, but at the same time it's important to here.

The first lesson was the Focus In Lesson, titled “Understanding Archeology in the World and in Indiana. The students looked at different excerpts that helped them answer the true and false questions that they predicted in the beginning of the lesson. I would say that a strength of this lesson was setting strong expectations from the start. This allowed the students to see what we expected of them. I also thought that a strength of this lesson was them predicting the true and false questions at the beginning and then answering them again after reading about Native Americans. This helped them to see what they learned throughout the lesson what they didn’t know beforehand.

Compose an essay (approximately two pages; there are no style requirements; your essay must be formatted as a .doc .docx or .pdf document) on the following topic: Eleanor Roosevelt once said “One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.” What interests have come to you during your academic career, and how will they carry with you after your graduation from the University of Arkansas?

When you master something, it means that you have beat all the obstacles getting to your goal and have concord it. I disagree with this statement. Even though, you have already mastered something, there is always room to grow and to improve. There could be someone who has mastered what you have mastered and they could teach you something different about it that you might have not even known about. And if you teach someone how to master what you have already mastered, they could change your point of view and make you want to try better. One reason why I disagree with this statement is because, there is always room to grow and to improve. For example, I have played softball for 9 years. I have played travel ball for 3 years and I'm on my schools varsity softball

Going on holiday somewhere exotic, warm and sunny is something we all dream of doing, and some of us are actually lucky enough to realise this dream, which means they get to lie back on a white sandy beach sunbathing, while the rest of us shiver in perpetual winter at home. For those of us who are yet to embark on one of these hot summer holidays, there is some good news, because even the most popular holiday destinations can get too hot, and people can struggle to keep cool in such warm temperatures. But if you're heading off to a destination that will be very warm, and you're worries about keeping cool, here are some tips to help you stay comfortable, healthy and safe whilst on holiday in a hot country.

When I was reading the article, “Can We Talk?” I found myself agreeing with a lot that was written. The article “Can We Talk? Researcher Talks about the Role of Communication in Happy Marriages" talks about how “romantic relationships begin with a lot of sharing and excitement.” (SOURCE) I found that to be true. It can be such an exciting time when you are in a new relationship. You get to learn about who the other person is and can find out what you both have in common. You spend hours getting to know each other and eventually you both know each other so well that communicating can get to be a little more difficult.

I believe in being spontaneous. The word "spontaneous" means a restlessness, a lust for opportunities and constant adventure, but the word itself is much more than a definition. Most of us, when we were little, were taught to "be different." We were told it was okay to act outside of what's considered the norm. When I was little, I truly took it to heart. My dad taught me to not be like everyone, that everyone else was boring. He was one to always be ready to go somewhere, with someone, without looking at what could go wrong or the consequences. Together we had many experiences, we used to take his little plane and fly around our area all the time, or sometimes we would even just sit and watch the planes take off and land, while he explained

Being motivated is a good start, but personal motivation alone is no guarantee of achieving an educational objective. The first step that I need to take as I move into my career path journey is assessing my learning styles. After been out of school for sixteen years, it is clear that the world I learned from is different than today’s method of teaching; therefore, it is important for me to assess my learning style to find out what works for me. After I had completed the Multiple Pathways assessment test, I discovered my learning styles were interpersonal and intrapersonal. As I was reading the definition of these two styles, I was not surprised that I fall into this category. My interpersonal learning style defines my character. It helps me understand my ability to
