Smart learning, Good learning.

Being able to learn effectively takes practice and skills. Learn= ing is a process of using effective strategies to encrypt new and different= elements that is required to prepare for any unpredictable forces around u= s. To achieve efficiency and effective of learning inference smart learning= . In this week=E2=80=99s learning journal will attempt to demonstrate aspec= ts of smart learning then discuss its implications.

Reflection is an aspect of smart learning according to Daudelin (1996). = In her studies illustrates reflection as a sequence and a human instinct as= we consistently refer back to our experience and past as a tool of learnin= g. Reflection is a personal cognitive process we constantly partake in both= conscious and unconscious sense in our daily life. For instance, I was goi= ng down the stairs in a fast speed, I tripped and fell, there was pain on m= y knees. Reflecting back to incident I found the problem was my knee was in= pain, because I was too fast for going down the stairs, next time I would = definitely go down slower, another solution would be holding onto the handl= e while I go down. Pain in the above example is the factor stimulates proce= ss of reflection, Daudelin shows spontaneous reflection is often stimulated= by unresolved problems or challenges and there are four distinct stages in= the process of reflection. Articulation of a problem, analysis of that pro= blem, formulation and testing of a tentative theory to explain the problem,= and action of solutions. Kolb (1976) further elaborated smart learning on = the aspect of reflection. He proposed learning as a four-stage cycle; immed= iate concrete experience is the basis for observation and reflection. Kolb = highlights the binary function of concrete experience and reflective observ= ation, which draws on a process of question and thinking, with abstract con= ceptualization then practice with active experiment to layout new outcomes = as a new cycle.

Both studies of Kolb and Daudelin recognize the power of question in a p= rocess of smart learning. This is a skilful technique as stimulation for cr= itical thinking and problem solving. Refer to my previous example of runnin= g down stairs, by questioning myself of why was I going so fast and how can= I prevent from falling leads to absolute different answers and pathway for= solutions. The above example provides concepts for prevention of falling. = But answer to why was I going to fast may result very different solutions, = for instance, it was a courier delivery but to avoid speeding down stairs I= could simply shout out to the delivery man instead of speeding. This is ju= st an example to illustrate the power of question is significant to raise d= istinctive experiences from practice.

Learning is a highly personal process, however, measurements of learning= outcome is often the comparison between people in the same field of expert= ise.  For instance, ranking is an effective measurement for efficiency= of learning. Thus learning is a process involves personal accomplishments = and interpersonal correspondence.   

Overall, learning takes practice and skills to embellish current practic= e for further unpredictable matters. Both reflection process and four-stage= of learning cycle indicates ideas of stimulation and power of question as = the efficiency and smart way of learning. Implications of learning demonstr= ate both practices of personal and interpersonal relations as process and m= easurements for determine the effective and efficiency in learning and lear= ning outcomes.
