MASTERY/COMPETENCE
Leslie A. Hart has a dual definition for learning:
1) Learning is the extraction, from confusion, of meaningful patterns.
2) Learning is the acquisition of useful programs.
Simply translated, the issues are what do students understand and how they can use it.
Part 1 of the learning process involves processing of incoming data, making meaning of the input. While every learner's perspective differs somewhat, care should be taken to uncover the accuracy of those patterns.
Part 2 of the learning process involves using what we understand, the mental patterns we have detected to get translated into specific actions.
Assessment procedures should be established in the classroom to permit the teacher to determine the accuracy of patterns and the depth of understanding they represent and to determine if mental programs have been developed and stored in long-term memory.
The most incredible movie about perseverance and motivation, a true story about hope and love. We can always reach mastery if we set our mind heart and soul to do so.
