For the past week, we’ve been discussing a skill that you’ve learned in order to get a better understanding of what your learning process looked like. Then, we looked at some of the major theories about learning as well as the differences between beginners and experts. My goal here is to get you thinking about what learning looks like. I want you to develop your own “theory” of learning that in turn you can take with you into future classes.

The assignment:
Take your brainstorm about a skill you’ve mastered. Polish it up into a short essay format, complete with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Include the following:
Describe the skill in some detail. What sorts of activities, knowledge, or concepts does this skill require? What do you have to master or be able to do to be good at this skill?
What were you like when you first started to learn this skill? What did you struggle with?
What are you like now? What aspects of this skill did you actively develop or improve in? How are you different from how you were as a beginner?
Describe your development. What stages of learning did you go through?
What issues or frustrations did you run into? How did you overcome them?
What motivated you to become good at this skill?

Then, look back at the articles we’ve read about metacognition, mindset, Bloom’s taxonomy, Paulo Freire, and expertise. Draw some concepts and quotes from at least three of these essays and work them into your essay.

Finally, draw some conclusions about the nature of learning:
What does effective learning look like?
What helps learning? What doesn’t help learning?
What concepts, mindsets, or ideas about learning do you think will be useful to you as a learner?
What ideas about learning will you use and take forward with you into your college career?
