Most people have never learned how to learn, how to improve
our expertise in a subject. People learn at different rates.
Learning is a
process, a method, a
system of
understanding…an
activity that requires
focus, planning,
reflection…when
people know how to
learn
About

The Psychology
Behind Learning
Technology has decimated jobs needing procedural knowledge.
To succeed, people need “expert thinking skills” to solve
unstructured problems. They need to create understanding out
of new information.
Learning to learn is the ultimate
survival tool. When you know how
to learn, you can learn almost
anything
Students with more autonomy show more
motivation and better learning outcomes.
We need choice to stay motivated, and we
need a hand in crafting our own learning.
