File 7: Learning Strategies

Through your long experience in academic learning (elementary, secondary and high-school) you have obtained a variety of learning practices which you naturally implement when faced with a new learning scenario. There is no doubt you have used many of those timeless learning practices while at the same time being exposed to new ones.

One of the great things about learning in general is that we can all learn from each and every personal experience, especially as we get older and more mature. What is even better is that we can learn from the experience of others as well. By simply observing or sharing experiences we can all enrich our beliefs about learning in the hopes of becoming more efficient as face new learning experiences.

However, it is sometimes a challenge to actually remember all of those learning experiences and steps done which were successful. Thankfully we have notebooks, smartphones, tables, laptops, computers, recorders and a wide range of media in which we can record our best practices for learning.

With the Learning Strategies you will want to create a compilation of your best learning practices from personal and shared experience.
