Questions On Learning Is Tough

During this educational psychology class I have learned how to become a stronger thinker and learner. It took a little while to become a stronger thinker and I am still working on it to this day. Learning strategies can be a very effective way of becoming a more improved thinker and learner. Two learning strategies that I have used throughout the semester are minimizing distractions and doing the learning exercises in the readings. I believe that these two strategies are central to effective learning for myself and I have made much use of these strategies throughout this semester.

There are several factors that have and still do influence on my own individual learning process. However some have impacted greater than others and they are as followed:

While the Hands-On instructor is the easiest instruction for me to learn, the most difficult teaching style for me is probably the Well-Organized instructor. The Well-Organized instructor creates the learning environment that is well-organized for him/her, but it is not necessary that I would enjoy the most because most likely the Well-Organized instructor use an instruction that well-organized and well-developed consists with PowerPoint, Outlines, and illustrations; however, the instructor is only the one who talks, and there are no discussions and are no hands-on activities that I would enjoy and engage.

When it comes to understanding, different people have particular ways of thinking and different ways of learning. In order to gain knowledge, people either prefer learning through reading about the topic or by learning through actually experiencing and interacting with what is being taught. Some people can just say that something is so easy to do, but in reality, they don't actually know that something is particularly easy until actually performing the task. In life there are so many topics that can only truly be understood by using the method of interaction. By learning with interaction and experience, it is the most important and most useful way of learning something to really understand it. Some of the many topics that require interactive learning to understand the full extent of the topic are learning about traditions, someone else's life situation, developing opinions, working, teaching, cooking, raising a family and driving.

This way of teaching is different from the traditional classroom setting, with the instructors being known to teach at the students. This philosophy consists of the professor teaching, as well as learning with the students. Over time it has been shown that students respond well to a give and take between instructor and pupil. Unfortunately, many schools are all

Everyone should understand that learning is not a process in which information is fed to us; knowledge will not just fall into our heads without any effort. The effort required of me is to learn what skills I already have and build upon them. In order for me to succeed in this class, or life in general I have to understand that learning is a process that requires me to learn about myself so that I can learn to the best of my

     The first thing that I began to think about is my own personal experience with this question in the first day of class. The reason being is that I have been in college for now 4 years and I am severely behind in terms of a 4-year degree at this point. I have had my times to think about what I like in terms of teaching style, but never had the right teacher to make me believe in the style. In this essay I hope to convince you (the reader) that it is mostly the way the student looks for flaws in the teaching style instead of embracing it. Also I will explain that in certain places across the country that certain teaching styles are easier to students

The overall learning goal for us students is to grasp what the instructor teaches in class and gain extra knowledge and abilities through class discussion and interaction. To that end, it’s best to study in an optimal learning environment, so as to keep focused in class and avoid distraction from externals.

Learning can be very challenging for some, everyone has a different way of learning. I would explain learning as something you want to do, not something you have to do. It’s much easier to learn when it’s a choice instead of a chore. My views on learning have changed dramatically from when I have first started the online college. Before I started online college, I was afraid to go back to school because, I didn’t do well in high school. I thought I was just not smart enough to every continue my education. With EXP 105, I have found what my strength and weaknesses are when it comes to my learning abilities. I also now feel more confident that I can do this, and it’s just going to take time to develop my mind to be in a growth mind set.

In studying education we learn that there are plenty of learning theories that are designed to create an effective academic and dynamic classroom. Some theories have great impact and have been improved and better developed over time, while others that were not as effective have been forgotten about, waiting for someone to rediscover and improve the theory. As an educators we are charged with the task of creating a cohesive classroom. A classroom that is diverse and fits the needs of all of our students. The first step in doing this is studying the educational theories before you, and based on the one theorist or even 5, you formulate your very own learning theory with the help of those before you. In creating your own theory there will trials and tribulations, and time you will indeed change your theory around, as times may change , students will change, there will be so many variable that may occur but I the long run it happens to make you a better educator.

Learning is primarily the process of acquiring skills, knowledge, values, attitudes etc. It enables the individual to learn good habits and brings progressive modification in behaviour. From the above given definition, it is understandable that the process of learning has distinctive features. These are as follows:

Education goal is to help learner to apply the knowledge and skills learnt in a situation to facilitate achieve or solve other situation. For instance, in abstract learning, students who have been taught how to solve the addition problems in Math should be able to apply that learning in multiplication problems. The ability to apply previous learning in new situation defines as Transfer of learning. More general definition is “carrying over knowledge, skills, understandings, attitudes, and habits of thinking from one learning situation to another” (Johri, 2005, p. 145).

In JAVA, method inheritance is used for defining and using methods repeatedly in subclasses without defining methods again and again in every subclass. Sometimes, it is required for an object to respond the same method but have different behavior when the method is called. This is achieved by defining a subclass method that has the same name, arguments and return type as the method in the superclass. This is termed as overriding the method in JAVA. So, when the method is called, the subclass method is invoked and executed rather than superclass method.

Computers are quite efficient in performing task repeatedly. It can efficiently perform same operation 10,000 times without exhausting. Looping is the process of executing a block of statements repeatedly. It ranges from zero to infinite with full efficiency. When looping continues forever, it is known as infinite looping. Hence, to avoid infinite looping some termination conditions are required. JAVA supports this feature. It has control statements which allow looping only after checking test conditions. If test conditions are satisfied, statement block will execute otherwise it will not.
