Homework: Intentional Learning
Your primary goals for this homework are to explain the concept of learning, what it means to be an intentional learner, and identify how you have been using your Learning Patterns in everyday situations, even when you may not have been aware of them.
Directions:
In a 4 paragraph essay that is two to three pages in length, address the following:
1. Paragraph 1 (Introduction): Your book defines learning as, "Taking in the world around you through your senses, making sense of it, and responding appropriately." In your own words, explain what this means. Then, because the goal of this course is to help you become more intentional, describe what it means to be an intentional learner. Consider what you've read in Chapters 1 and 2 as you formulate your response.
2. Paragraph 2: Now that you've explained what it means to be an intentional learner, identify two examples from your life (personal, professional, or academic) and describe how you approached them with intention.
3. Paragraph 3: Share your LCI scores and level of use for each Learning Pattern. Do you feel the results accurately reflect your thoughts, feelings, and actions for each Pattern? Explain why or why not. Review the tables 2.1-2.4 in Chapter 2 for descriptions of each Pattern.
4. Paragraph 4 (Conclusion): We use our Learning Patterns in all areas of our life. Describe how having an awareness of your Learning Patterns can help you in each of the following areas: at home, in school, and at work.
