¶ … Learning Process and Experience

A review of my learning experience indicates that learning is a complex process that involves a complex interplay of factor/variables that affects learning (McCharen, Song and Martens).Several things about my learning experience intrigues me. Some of these are how I construct meaning from new information and how to use feedback from my instructor to select or adjust strategies that lead to success. In this reflective piece, explain these intrigues as well as how I relate what I learn to my own experience. I also discuss how evaluate my ideas as well as extend my learning.

The construction of meaning to new information is noted by Alexanderssson and Louise (2003,p.18) as an integral element of learning or knowledge acquisition. Before constructing meaning to new information, I go through a series of six steps that are also noted by Kuhlthau eta al. (2008).The first stage involves initiation when I first become aware of the general or specific lack of knowledge on a given topic. The second stage is the selection of the problem area or topic. The third stage is exploration in which I identify inconsistent information. The forth stage is formulation and at this stage I form amore focuses perspective. The fifth stage is collection and at this stage I collect the information on the chosen perspective. The final stage is presentation and at this stage I generally give a new meaning to the information acquired. This therefore provides me with the ability to explain my learning to other people.
