* Introduction: Briefly discuss again what learning is, what effective learning strategies you have used in the past, and hardships/failures in your learning journey. This discussion should be from your review of course materials but can include your own insights as well.
* Provide specific concepts discussed in the course (textbook, videos, discussion boards) that can directly impact learning (both positively and negatively). Be sure to provide specific examples of how each concept directly impacts learning. Again,
the goal here is to clearly show evidence that you were engaged with
the materials this semester and to clearly reference those materials in
the assignment. The various videos included a lot of great resources on
the general topic of learning. Also, consider previous assignments in
this course as were assigned to help you towards this project/paper.
* Discuss specific concepts that you believe would be beneficial to implement in your learning journey. Be thorough in why these strategies would be beneficial in enhancing your ability to learn better. This
is a direct extension of one of the assignments and should be
sufficiently detailed to help not only explain the concepts but also
their application in improving your study techniques now and in the
future.
* Create a learning plan for future courses (or life in general) that will better optimize your ability to learn and retain information. Describe three specific learning strategies or techniques that you will implement, when you will implement them, and how you will implement them. Be sure to include as much detail as possible surrounding how you will go about implementing these strategies as well as the possible benefits that you foresee if
implemented. This
is an important part of the assignment in that it will allow you to
convert your critical and creative thinking about how cognitive
psychology can make you a better lifelong learner.
* Conclusion: Focus on Biblical integration. Put learning within the context of a Biblical worldview. What does the Bible have to say about learning? Why is it important to implement better strategies for learning as a Christian? How will implementing learning strategies enable you to better serve God and others? Include examples from the Bible to help support your writing. The
Bible has a lot to say about attention, learning, thinking, and
creativity. What we think becomes who we are and what we think becomes
what we do so this part of the assignment is not just about looking up
Bible verses but really considering how the Biblical worldview impacts
cognitive processes.
