Personally I find
my learning to vary from style to style depending upon a few different factors.
One of these factors is immediate application of knowledge or information
obtained. Basically the more relevant and immediate I perceive the benefit to
obtaining the information to be the more focus I am on the learning process.
Another observation I discovered about myself is the less basic knowledge I
have on a given topic the more likely I am to revert to a behaviorist approach
to learning. I find myself looking for cues, mimicking behaviors of other
people I view as encountering similar situations successfully. Lastly, because
I am an adult I feel that when I learn at the current state in my life this
particular learning theory is constantly ongoing and developing through the
overwhelming majority of my life, both formally and informally.
As the communication technologies constantly
improve so do the possibilities for learning.
Growing and enhancing my learning network as described in social
learning theory, constructivist learning theory, and connectivist learning
theory will allow for a richer learning environment.
This course has been a great benefit in
improving my own ability to learn. I can
now more readily understand which theory will be most beneficial to what
content I am learning about.
Additionally this will prove to be a great aid in my development of curriculum
for future students I will have.
