What is Learning? (Revisited)

I think after class I found myself more confused about what learning is rather then informed. after reflecting on it for a bit I have decided learning is really an individual action. As individuals we have different life experiences that shape our idea and cognitive ways of learning.

I thought it was interesting how many students cited dictionary definitions of learning in theirs blogs, while others chose to go straight into their own definition of learning. In the reading of "How People Learn" the author spoke about ethnic groups view of learning styles. I believe this was shown in the assignment, maybe not by ethnicity but definitely culturally. The author made an example of African American teachers being more susceptible to students telling a story and relating it to something they had learned in class, and a white teacher viewing the same students as a weak student and vice versa. I think the has shown through the assignment by some students going straight for the dictionary to define learning and then expanding on the idea.
