An inner process: Our ability to churn and make out positive things on all the experiences we gained daily, things being taught to us or by looking at things that happened to other people. The process where we are able to differentiate what is good or bad and which is to be emulated and so forth.
Performance: Being able to apply what has been taught to us. Here, we can see whether one is positively developing and vice versa. On the other hand, we also need to ‘walk our talk’. We do not just simply think and talk about it but to perform it is much better.
Change: Obviously when we learnt something, we would definitely go through transition. However, change do not always referring to positive stuffs only therefore, it is always up to us to as the individual to choose what is best for us.
Not always a result of teaching: Lies, theft, truancy, vandals and so forth are examples of ‘not always a result of teaching’. However, teaching is not limited to positive matters only because some people are capable of teaching negative things too.
Intentional/Unintentional learning: When we have the urge and feeling to know and learn about things it can be referred to as ‘intentional’ – we intend to. For instance, going to school is one of the examples of intentional learning. Unintentional learning is the things that happened without being planned and we spontaneously learnt from it. For example, at an occasion where there is an accident involving two cars, we would become more aware and learnt not to drive so fast thus preventing us from getting ourselves into one.
Learning is unconscious (innate, automatic system): To restrain ourselves from eating too many sweets is something that we can control. However, when we see and observe things, we cannot help but to recall and think about it.
Importance of meaning and understanding: We learnt better when the subject is made crystal clear to us. This helps us distinguish things very well and subjects are more comprehensible.
Transfer: This is when and where the process of ‘sharing’ of information and knowledge takes place. This usually happen during informal talks – chatting with colleagues, friends, families while having breaks, doing outdoor activities, etc. agree??no?? *wink*

¤ As I learn things, it would show through the way I behave – can be either good and vice versa. For instance, I am brought up with all these family values and taught about ideal manners which make who I am today – I respect the elders, family comes first and so forth.
¤ It is in fact logical that humans are learning both consciously and unconsciously even though we are more aware of the conscious bit.
¤ Obvious learning is mainly to master on these things – language, movement, various skills (cooking, designing, leadership and so on). However, learning also creates scaffolding (where all the bits and pieces gained eventually sets our mind) and the zone of proximal development (the stage where one are to deal with all the complicated matters based on their mindset).
¤ Learning is about gaining lessons – Cecilia Ahern, in her bestselling novel, If You Could See Me Now (HarperCollinsPublishers, 2005) says “...the thing about lessons: you always learn them when you don’t expect them or want them.”
¤ Everyone have different styles of learning things. I come to realize that I enjoy learning and understand better when it is done more informally. I am a learner who is meaning as well as solution oriented.
¤ As for the youths, I would let them decide how or what style they wish to implement during learning sessions. Some people are expressive, creative, like to try things out (hands on experience) but some can be quiet analytic or need others to guide them to find out solutions. I just need to assist them accordingly because as long as they are able to grasp the idea of the whole lesson it is more than enough to me.
¤ I realize that my every movement would starts with my right hand or feet. I also like to have a clear understanding on certain things so that I would think clearer and perform in certainty. It is no doubt that I am a person who are organized, prefer reading about facts and solutions compare to a ‘what if’ things. Therefore, according to the theory on this matter, mine would show more to left brain dominant.
