Processes involved in Learning (part one)

All of us learn at a particular point in time. Infact we learn everyday. Learning entails personal efforts to acquire more knowledge. Today we will be talking about the processes involved  in learning optimally. The process includes; RECEIVING, ADAPTATION, ADOPTING AND APPLICATION. We will be taking that one by one. 1. **RECEIVING** Before you can learn anything, you must encounter it either through hearing, observation or inquiry These are the things that initiate the learning process. But I must mention that if you stop at hearing and observing, you will be limited in your learning. Learners are curious people, always eager to know more, so they go beyond hearing and observing to asking questions. If you are a man of questions, you can't be a man of answers. Ask questions! Why this? How about that? Can this be done some other way? There is a popular saying that everybody saw apples fall from apple tree, but only Isaac Newton asked 'why?'. And as he began to reason along that line, he discovered the Law of Gravity, which brought about such technological advancement in our world today. 2. **ADAPTING.** Information does not produce results on its own. You must take it through a process of adaptation to make it equal to learning and this process hinges on thinking. Information leads to knowledge, while thinking leads to understanding, because through thinking you sieve, separate, severe and sort out the information you have received so that it can be understood and acted upon. Any knowledge you do not have an understanding of is not useful, because you cannot apply it. Understanding is the link between knowledge and application. There are so many things that people know but do not understand. When you gain knowledge and you understand it, then it becomes easy for you to apply it And through application, you get results, which is what determines your rating as a wise man. Until you make it plain, you cannot run with it. Making it plain is about comprehension of the vision through reasoning . This is what we call learning and it is evident by results, growth and changes. Enjoyed the article, Like and comment down to share your opinions and thoughts. Thanks for reading.
