Blog Post #4: How I Learn Reflection

Throughout my past, the way I've learned has been more visual than anything else. If something was explained to me, I wouldn't comprehend and remember the information unless I saw it written down and I was also writing it down. Presently my learning habits have altered to where I can now retain much more information through hearing than I did in my past, but at times I also need to see the information written down to comprehend it. I no longer require the need to write down information to remember things. In the future I believe I'll be able to understand and remember things only through verbal consultation. When I was in grade-school I explicitly remember writing everything down. Now that I'm in college, at times, I write things down, but only as a preliminary way of avoiding the break of my concentration with listening to the instructor. According to the book, Learning at Work: How to Support Individual and Organizational Learning, it defines adult learning as integrative and that adults desire control when they are learning. This information is detailed on page 144 in chapter 5. The website, http://web.njit.edu/~ronkowit/teaching/andragogy.htm, details the definition and small detail of andragogy and pedagogy.
