This document discusses learning strategies and how to encourage learner independence. It defines learning strategies as specific actions that make learning easier and more effective. Direct strategies like memorizing and indirect strategies like self-evaluation are explained. The document also provides examples of cognitive, interpersonal, linguistic, affective, and creative learning strategies. To encourage learner independence, the document recommends setting goals, self-assessment, and giving learners choices in their learning process.
VAKT Learning Styles are “Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Tactile.”
Visual is learning by seeing images and visuals.
Auditory learning through language, hearing and reading.
Kinesthetic is learning through moving and doing.
Tactile is hands-on learning and touching.
Principles of Learning: A Conceptual Framework for Domain-Specific Theories of Learning Christian J. Weibell (we'-bull) Department of Instructional Psychology and Technology Doctor of Philosophy
This study is predicated on the belief that there does not now exist, nor will there ever exist, any single theory of learning that is broad enough to account for all types of learning yet specific enough to be maximally useful in practical application. Perhaps this dichotomy is the reason for the apparent gap between existing theories of learning and the practice of instructional design. As an alternative to any supposed grand theory of learning—and following the lead of prominent thinkers in the fields of clinical psychology and language teaching—this study proposes a shift toward principles. It presents a principle-based conceptual framework of learning, and recommends use of the framework as a guide for creating domain-specific theories of learning. The purpose of this study was to review theories of learning in the behavioral, cognitive, constructive, human, and social traditions to identify principles of learning local to those theories that might represent specific instances of more universal principles, fundamentally requisite to the facilitation of learning in general. Many of the ideas reviewed have resulted from, or been supported by, direct empirical evidence. Others have been suggested based on observational or practical experience of the theorist. The ideas come from different points in time, are described from a variety of perspectives, and emphasize different aspects and types of learning; yet there are a number of common themes shared among them regarding the means by which learning occurs. It is hypothesized that such themes represent universal and fundamental principles of learning. These principles were the objective of the present study. They have been sought through careful review and analysis of both theoretical and empirical literature by methods of textual research (Clingan, 2008) and constant comparative analysis (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). By way of textual research a methodological lens was defined to identify general themes, and by way of constant comparative analysis these themes were developed further through the analysis and classification of specific instances of those themes in the texts reviewed. Ten such principles were identified: repetition, time, step size, sequence, contrast, significance, feedback, context, engagement, and agency. These ten facilitative principles were then organized in the context of a comprehensive principles-of-learning framework, which includes the four additional principles of potential, target, change, and practice.

It is important to realize there is not simply one way to learn. We can all benefit from understanding the learning process fully. Once you do, you'll be better equipped to study and learn using methods that employ four primary areas:
Reflective Learning (Listen, Read, Observe, Take Notes, Collect Data and Review It All and Ask Yourself Questions)
Abstract Learning (Analyze and Understand the Information and Identify Trends or Theories That Exist Within the Information)
Active Learning (Discuss Ideas with Others, Apply Ideas, Hands-on Activities)
Concrete Learning (Step-by-Step Implementation and Evaluate the Results)

English language learning (ELL) students face many challenges to academic achievement. Not
only must they learn academic English, but they must also learn content subject matter and
skills. In addition, ELL students are now expected to meet many of the same national and
state standards and assessments as native English speakers. Learning strategies instruction
can help students meet these goals.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What Are Learning
Strategies?
Defining strategies:
Strategies are the mental and communicative procedures
learners use in order to learn and use language.
Underlying every learning task is at least one strategy.
However, in most classrooms, learners are unaware of the
strategies underlying the learning tasks in which they are
engaged.
"learning strategies are specific actions taken by the
learner to make learning easier, faster, more
enjoyable, more self-directed, more effective, and more
transferrable to new situations.“ Oxford-1990
4. What Are Learning Strategies?
The importance of strategies to the learning
process:
knowledge of strategies is important, because the
greater awareness you have of what you are doing, if
you are conscious of the process underlying the
learning that you are involved in, then learning will
be more effective.
5. Direct And Indirect Strategies
Direct strategies:
Direct
strategies
include
such
things
as
memorizing, analyzing and reasoning, and guessing
intelligently. As the name suggests, these are specific
procedures that learners can use to internalize the
language.
Indirect Strategies:
Indirect strategies on the other hand, include things
such as evaluating one’s learning,(talking steps to
power one’s anxiety), and cooperating with others.
6. Learning Strategies And Tasks
Underlying every task that one introduces into the
classroom is a learning strategy of one kind or
another. Sometimes, tasks that seem on the surface to
be quite different turn out to be underpinned by the
same strategy.
7. Cognitive Learning Strategies
Classifying : putting things that are similar together
in groups
Predicting : Predicting what is to come in the
learning process
Inducing : Looking for patterns and regularities
Taking notes : Writing down the important
information in a text in your own words
Concept mapping : showing the main ideas in a text
in the form of a map
8. Cognitive Learning Strategies
Inferencing : using what you know to learn
something new
Discriminating : distinguishing between the main
idea and supporting information
Diagramming : using information from a text to lable
a diagram.
9. Interpersonal Learning Strategies
Cooperating : sharing ideas and learning with other
students
Role-playing : pretending to be somebody else and
using the language for the situation you are in
10. Linguistic Learning Strategies
Conversational patterns : using expressions to start
conversation and keep them going
Practicing : doing controlled exercises to improve
knowledge and skills
Using context : using the surrounding context to
guess the meaning of unknown words, phrases, and
concepts.
Summarizing : picking out and presenting the major
points in a text in summary form
11. Linguistic Learning Strategies
Selective listening : listening for key information
without trying to understand every word
Skimming : Reading quickly to get a general idea of a
text
12. Affective Learning Strategies
Personalizing : learners share their own
opinions, feelings, and ideas about a subject
Self-evaluating : Thinking about how well you did
on a learning task, and rating yourself on a scale.
Reflecting : thinking about ways you learn best
14. Classifying
Classifying helps learners because it is easier to
memorize items that are grouped together in
meaningful ways than trying to remember isolated
items.
15. Predicting
Predicting, or looking ahead, helps learners to
anticipate what is to come. This results in more
effective learning, because the learners are
adequately prepared for the new material.
16. Inductive Reasoning
In an inductive approach to learning, students are
given access to data, and are provided with
structured
opportunities
to
work
out
rules, principles, and so on for themselves. The idea
here is that information will be more deeply
processed and stored if learners are given an
opportunity
to
work
things
out
for
themselves, rather than simply being told.
17. Inferencing
Inferencing involves using what you know to learn
something new. Because learning is basically making
links between what is new and what is already
known, Inferencing is an extremely important
strategy.
18. Discriminating
Discriminating means distinguishing between the
main idea and supporting information in both aural
and written texts. Learners who are skilled at
identifying the most important information in a text
are more effective listeners and readers. They can
process language more quickly and are able to
identify and remember the speakers or reader’s
central message more effectively.
19. Cooperating
When we cooperate, we share ideas and learn with
other students. This principle exploits the old saying
that “two heads are better than one”. It is
particularly effective in language learning, because
students are required to communicate with each
other in order to cooperate.
20. Practicing
An essential strategy for developing skills is
practicing. Practicing means doing controlled
exercises to improve knowledge and skills.
21. Selective Listening
A key strategy for learners is listening for key
information without trying to understand every
word. This strategy is essential if learners are to cope
effectively in genuine communities situations
outside the classroom. It is important for learners to
realize that native speakers use this strategy quit
naturally when communicating with one
another, that is, in fact, impossible as well as
unnecessary to process every singe word in most
listening situation.
22. Encouraging Learner Independence
Goal setting:
Making goals explicit to learners has a number of
important pedagogical advantages. In the first
place, it helps to focus the attention of the learner on
the tasks to come. This enhances motivation.
Research shows that a program in which goals are
made explicit lead to higher performance by
students then programs in which goals are implicit.
23. Encouraging Learner Independence
Evaluation:
Self Assessment And
Self-evaluating involves thinking about how well
you did on a learning task, and rating yourself on a
scale.by having learners rate themselves against their
learning goals, the teachers not only develops the
learner’s self-critical faculties, but also serves to
remind them of the goals of the instructional process.
It also prompts learners to begin making links
between important links in the educational chain; for
example, between their communicative goals and
the grammatical and structural means of achieving
those goals.
24. Encouraging Learner Independence
Learner choice:
Encouraging learners to make choices is also an important
aspect of learner independence. Just as the effective
language user is the one who can make appropriate
choices from the range of grammatical options available
in the language, so the effective language learner is the
one who can make effective choices in terms of learning
tasks and strategies. By encouraging learners to make
choices in our classroom and on the teaching materials we
provide for them, we convey to our learners the
important message that they have responsibility for
making decisions about and taking control of their
learning.
