How Do We Learn?
In the field of education, the issue of how the human mind functions translates into a single question, “How do we learn?” As deceptively simple as this question may first appear, it requires a very sophisticated response. First and foremost, we no longer subscribe to a linear depiction of learning as a “spoon-it-in, pack-it-down, move-to-the-next-level” cumulative process. Learning according to all we know occurs because of the continuous interaction of our four Learning Processes (Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence) and the three mental processes which operate within each Learning Process (Cognition, Conation, and Affectation).
A model of learning which takes each of these components into consideration, depicting them as interactive experiences, is the Brain-Mind Connection/Interactive Learning Model. This forms the basis of the Let Me Learn Process®, Advanced Learning System.
Currently, a group of national and international academics, along with several hundred school practitioners (teachers, staff developers, and administrators) and corporate human resource trainers have worked to develop and test this model of learning. What they have discovered is that the BMC/ILM gives teachers, students, parents, and administrators another means of identifying how each student absorbs information, uses his or her personal tools for learning, and develops as a confident and successful lifelong learner. To learn how to use the power of the BMC/ILM Model in your work setting, find a training opportunity near you.
