1. Learning
Questions to consider
Is the process or methods I’m using to learn conducive of learning i.e. if I were to read through
material is that enough?
What is the study process?
One actively learns when performing the following
learn when: listen to lectures, research, DVD material, interpret, re-write and question information
learnt; and
Relating information to your own scenario i.e. apply your own ideas, experience as well as sharing of
ideas with fellow students.
Question or interrogate information
Gathering new ideas and making it your own
Relate the information to your own life and applying it in relevant situations meaningfully
Sharing ideas
Learners are subjective beings meaning they can question, argue, justify and rationalise, students
should be objects of learning
Learning is the process whereby one actively engages with the study material and one does this through
coming to grips with the study material i.e. really understanding concepts, terms etc and making it your
own.
As subjective beings we interrogate, understand, ask questions and justify or rationalise things. Objective
beings cannot do such a thing which is why one’s study process is of utmost important. You cannot read
material like a parrot and expect to pass examinations. One also learns when sharing ideas, interaction
with lecturers and fellow students, making information or facts your own and interrogating information.
