Engaging with learning
When you use these learning behaviours, you …
- are not put off by being stuck;
- tolerate feelings of apprehension, frustration or confusion without getting upset;
- recognise that learning can be a struggle;
- become immersed and engrossed in what you are doing;
- are aware of possible sources of distraction and purposefully try to minimise them;
- notice carefully and are patient, knowing that details may take time to emerge.
The activities, think pieces and questions in this online unit aim to help teachers make a start on:
- introducing your students to one of the four domains of learning;
- using the language of learning effectively with your students;
- designing the use of learning behaviours into the way you teach;
- developing the confidence and skill to help your students grow their learning habits.
The purpose of building your students’ Learning Power is to facilitate the growth of high value psychological characteristics and strengthen their learning characters. These skills, attitudes and values, when used with increasing competence and confidence across many learning opportunities, become learning habits; the characteristics of successful lifelong learners.
