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.
