How We Learn
A simple framework to understand how we learn, process, and refine skills through stages of experience.
“Don't just pay attention to what you're learning. Get curious about how you're learning it.”
Jacko
Learning isn't just about getting the right information
Two people can experience exactly the same coaching and learn something completely different from it.
What we notice, how we make sense of it, what happens when we try it and how we reflect afterwards all influence what happens next.
Becoming a better learner starts with becoming more aware of how you learn.
Explore your own learning
This resource explores four parts of that process:
How information comes in through your senses
How you initially make sense of it
How experience changes your understanding
How you recognise when a skill is becoming established
At the centre is a simple repeating cycle:
Plan → Do → Review → Plan again
The goal isn't to discover one fixed way you learn best. It's to become more adaptable in the way you learn.
