WHAT IS LEARNING ABOUT?
Learning involves far more than thinking: it involves
the whole personality - senses, feelings, intuition,
beliefs, values and learning is an internal activity and a
key personal development skill.
If we do not have the will to learn, we will not learn
and if we have learned, we are actually changed in
some way. If the learning makes no difference it can
have very little significance beyond being random
ideas that float through our consciousness.
Learning needs to meet some personal need and
recognizing and identifying such needs enables us to
evaluate whether the learning has been worthwhile
and successful.
Reflection
Learning brings about changes in the way we act, think and/or feel about ourselves, other people and
the world around us. Such changes may be permanent or temporary depending on our own
perceptions of the importance and relevance of the gained knowledge.
