ntentional Learning

Your primary goals for this assignment 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:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Academic assignments typically have formatting requirements. For this  assignment, it is suggested that your work is double spaced and written  using Times New Roman 12-point font. Submit the final draft to Waypoint  as a Microsoft Word document.
